The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Today my kitties turned 3! Since this is the first birthday on which the cats have been with me, I wasn’t totally sure what the appropriate way to celebrate was. I mean, they don’t eat cake and cat nip shooters seemed like that might be overkill. But then when I went to the pet store […] →Read more
Hey, remember that time that I mentioned being a total sloth? Apparently my strategy of blogging about my slothiness as a way of killing said slothiness was a good one, as I have managed to turn around my slothy ways and get myself back on track. Since that blog posting, I’ve done: 7 runs (for […] →Read more
Nearly 8 months ago, I adopted my kitties, Watson and Crick, from VOKRA – the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association.

Apparently I’m really into theatre all of the sudden, as last night I saw Red Rock Diner at the Arts Club Granville Island Stage. Here the trailer: The show was great – great music performed by an incredibly talented cast. I am always in awe of people who can sing (and boy, could these guys […] →Read more
And speaking of BBQs, I went to one last night. But not just any BBQ. A Bard-B-Q! One of the things that has been on my 101 things to do in 1001 days list since it’s very first iteration ((i.e., since Jan 12, 2009!)) has been to go to a Bard on the Beach show. […] →Read more
Apparently I wanted to spend this weekend past covered in grease, because I spent the lion share of my time biking and cleaning my new BBQ. On the biking front, a friend of mine recently got a new bike and was wanting to do some biking this weekend, so we decided to bike over to […] →Read more
