The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
My sister has been harassing me for the last decade to start an RRSP and my excuse of “I live on student loans below the freaking poverty line!” just doesn’t cut it anymore. Since I’ve been happy so far with my dealings with Vancity, and since I knew that they have options for “socially responsible […] →Read more
After work tonight, a trip to the mall in search of wedding shower presents. I very rarely go to the mall, as I much prefer to buy stuff at consignment stores. So I decided to take advantage of the mall trip and finally replace the coffeemaker that I broke1. Spent an inordinate amount of time […] →Read more
That means I’m a little bit famous. Why, what did you think I was talking about? The first time I read about the “long tail of celebrity” was on Darren, the non-evil marketer’s blog (here). You can read about the “long tail” (of not just celebrity, but in a more general sense, over here). Wow, […] →Read more
After going weeks and weeks without seeing movies, I saw two new releases in the last few days. And here are my reviews: Live Free or Die Hard Great movie that could only have been made better by that ignorant moron NOT bringing their crying baby to the theatre. Who does that?? Transformers I never […] →Read more
So, as I previously mentioned, the weather forecasters are dirty, dirty liars and it was a gorgeous, hot and sunny long weekend! Highlights include (a) a party on Saturday night to which I brought Canada Day cupcakes that I made from scratch and (b) doing the Grouse Grind again, for the second time in less […] →Read more
So, I’ve decided that since we are now at the halfway point of the year, and since I’ve had complaints about my poor posting frequency of late (you readers sure are demanding!), I’m going to give my post-every-day resolution another go. Starting yesterday, July 1 – this posting makes 2 days and counting. ‘cuz it’s […] →Read more
Last Canada Day, I gave you a picture that I had stolen off the internets and was off to the beach, as we were in the midst of a heat wave. Today, despite the forcast telling us that it would be rainy all weekend, I sit in the bright sunshine in my backyard typing this […] →Read more
You know I can’t resist a list. This is my 400th post. And here are 400 things about me. I was going to make them totally random, but as the list progressed1, I ended up grouping things and having several lists of “the 10 (or 15 or 25) most recent…”, which I freely admit are […] →Read more
So, on Sunday I got a bit of a surprise when I ventured out to the cheap Broadway produce stores in search of fresh veggies with which to cook up a bunch of delicious meals for the week. Broadway was closed to traffic as, apparently, it was Greek Day. And there were lots of vendors […] →Read more
Who the hell catches a cold during the summer? Me, apparently. I was supposed to have a work event to attend tonight, but it was cancelled. Which turned out to be a good thing, since my throat has been killing me all day, and now I have a headache/backache/shoulderache/general malaise. So, instead of having to […] →Read more
