The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
My sister’s bf suggested that I try BlogDesk , what with the eating of the post I wrote yesterday by WordPress1. So I just wanted to write a quick post to test it out. So far I’m not liking that I have to go up the “View” menu to switch between the WYSIWYG and the […] →Read more
WordPress just ate the posting I spent the last 40 minutes carefully crafting. It was to be the next installment of my Prime Minister series. And Sir Charles Tupper is goddamn boring and I’m too damn tired to start it over now, so you will have to wait until tomorrow for it. In the meantime, […] →Read more
March 16 was my grandpa’s 85th birthday and I neglected to blog it! Just think about celebrating an 85th birthday- 85 years is a long, long time! Born in 1923, he’s seen 14 of the 22 Canadian Prime Ministers¹ in his lifetime. He’s had 6 kids, 9 grandkids, 10 great grandkids and 1 great, great […] →Read more

But I’ve never had one before and I have to say it’s not very […] →Read more
Man, two days of no blogging! I blame The Man. And fiscal year end¹. Anyhoo, since I’m sure that you are all dying to hear the random thoughts in my brain², here they are: I taught my last lesson to the grade 3-5 students that I was teaching Human Anatomy too. They are sooo damn […] →Read more
One year and one week and one day ago, I was unemployed and seriously wondering how I was going to continue to pay my rent, buy groceries, and basically, well, live. I was filling out the necessary paperwork to postponing the onset of my massive student loan payments on the basis of abject poverty. I […] →Read more
As you know, I recently bought a sweet new pair of running shoes. I’ve gone out for a couple of runs in them and they totally rock. Just like running on a cloud. You may also recall that last year I ran a half marathon, hurting my foot in the process, and then ran the […] →Read more
Sometimes, it feels like all I ever do is sort through email. I have my Gmail account, and my work email account and yet another email account at UBC, since I’m teaching there this term. I also have a variety of other emails (hotmail, yahoo, another Gmail account) that I almost never check and you […] →Read more
