Now, I may not have mentioned this before, but I recently purchased some shoes on e-bay. And they are here now!!! And they are perfect!!! I realize that there was a request for a picture of me wearing said shoes, but (and you may find this shocking), I don’t own a digital camera! I usually […] →Read more
On CFOX radio in Vancouver*, they do this thing called Hump at the Pump. Basically, they find two complete strangers and get them to make out at a gas station, pumping gas into their cars for as long as they keep making out. The radio guy pumping the gas gives a play-by-play over the radio […] →Read more
Checking out my favourite blogs, I saw this book review on Academic Coach’s blog. It’s a book about procrastination. More specifically, it’s a book about how not to procrastinate. I immediate thought, “I need to get this book and read it immediately! I must drop all the work I’m doing right now and read this […] →Read more
First of all, I’ve got to give a shout out to my friends who ran the Vancouver International Half Marathon yesterday — congrats to Danielle, Laura, Ali* and Jordy! I went to see if I could catch a glimpse of them crossing the finish line and, even though I was there when they all finished, […] →Read more
… and I’m still in the tub! (25 points to whoever gets that obscure reference!) UPS has notified me that my glorious, glorious shoes have an ETA of May 11. Kinda sucks that I have plans to go out on May 10 and was hoping that I’d be able to wear them on that occasion, […] →Read more
I don’t wanna do my work! [stomps feet] And you can’t make me!! I have forbidden myself from watching any clips from Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report or I-Film until I’ve finished revising my lit review chapter. You’d think that the looming deadline of needing to have the whole thesis revised by May 19 would […] →Read more
I really hope that’s true. Because if it is, I’m going to be the strongest person EVER! I’m moving. I hate moving, but I’m doing it anyway. Moving to a cheaper place – not too far from where I am now, but much more affordable than my current place. It’s actually just a summer sublet, […] →Read more
Things that have caught my attention of late, in no particular order: Canadian-born economist John Kenneth Galbraith, a Harvard professor who advised several Democratic presidents and wrote one of the top 100 non-fiction books of the 20th century, died at the age of 97. Marc Crawford was released as the head coach of the Vancouver […] →Read more
OK, this blog entry is RIDICULOUSLY LONG, due to my complete inability to be concise and my ability to be amused (and think everyone else will be amused) by the simplest things. But I promise you it will be worth reading (or at least skipping down to the part where the drinking happens). So Friday […] →Read more
As per Courtney’s request, I did, in fact, conduct more ARM research while in Seattle this weekend. And, also, as per Courtney’s request, I will blog about it soon. But in the meantime I just wanted to post a link to this story I came across while checking out the playoff scores on the NHL […] →Read more
