The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Tonight is the second of two nights spent in Killarney. Unlike our previous hotels/castles, the hotel we are staying in is right in town, so it’s been easy to head out after dinner and visit the pubs! Every pub has live music – you can just walk down the street and hear the music coming […] →Read more
Apparently my blog was down for a bit – I think leprechauns got in the tubes and messed thing up, but thankfully, unlike me, Kalev, the Tsar of the Geekery and Overseer of Deb0rking is not on vacation from overseeing the necessary deb0rking and my blog was returned to its fully functioning form, just in […] →Read more
It seems like only yesterday that this trip to Europe was just a twinkle in my eye and now it’s the day before I leave! In fact, by this time tomorrow, I will be transferring from the Vancouver to Toronto leg of my journey onto the plane that will take me to London! Despite the […] →Read more

The last few blog-less days here at NTBTWK are directly attributable to the fact that I’ve been in school everyday, 8 am ’til 5 pm, since Thursday.

So I leave on my vacation in just over two weeks (!) – and I haven’t really prepared anything ((Beyond booking the various pieces of the trip that is.)). This is what I’ve come up with for my “to do” list so far: My passport is ready to go and I don’t need visa for […] →Read more
My friend Heather ((Who happens to read all my footnotes, just like Martha and Loren! And Kalev too!)) gave me a very thoughtful present – a frog that turns into a prince ((Which, of course, is a pretty darn good present for a frog lover who is looking for a prince!))! Isn’t this a cute […] →Read more
