Shout out to my boys in blue! I nearly had a heart attack watching tonight’s game! It had been very frustrating to watch my boys lose the last two games, where they could have ended the series, but didn’t, resulting in tonight winner-take-all matchup. Then it occurred to me what the problem was… my chocolate […] →Read more
A few items of business. Because I know you all love business, right? Remember back when this used to be a blog about thesis writing, and the similarity between writing a thesis and the seventh layer of hell?

Don’t wait up! *I would also like to point out that the Blogger spellchecker’s suggestion for Calgarian was […] →Read more
Like pretty much everyone else in Vancouver today, I’m a walking zombie. Why, you ask? It’s very simple – because I stayed up until almost 1 in the morning waiting for the Canucks to finally beat the Stars in game one of their playoff series!! Since I was at a free movie last night, I […] →Read more
