I Will Have Daniel Sedin’s (Ugly) Babies

It has been noted in blogland that I tend to offer my “willing womb to various Canucks as their on-ice performance dictates.” After tonight’s game, in which thug-turned-goal scorer Jeff Cowan scored two goals (!), I think I need to offer to carry his babies. According to the Canucks website, his personal life is “not […] →Read more

A test of my will

The other day I was watching the Canucks game with some fellow scientists at Coppertank and Erika told a story about how she was burned as a young child when she spilled a scalding hot cup of hot chocolate on herself and she bears the scar tissue to this day. For some reason, this made […] →Read more

Wear the Fox Hat

The uglification of the Canucks

Amidst all this hoopla about being a Vancouver socialite*, I have been remiss in my objectification of the Canucks duties. Meet the two newest Canucks: Bryan Smolinski:Brent Sopel: I’m sure you’ll agree that these two are no Marc Chouinard.

Sort of a glimpse into the mind of Bethy at a blogging conference – I’m sort of using my blog as […] →Read more

Northern Voice ’07 – Post #3

CIMG1714 Originally uploaded by Robert Sanzalone. Due to my superior printing neatness skills, I was assigned the duty of writing out the signs for each of the sessions for the Moosecamp schedule.

Northern Voice ’07 – Post #2

Home from the conference now.
