Google, Why Have You Forsaken Me?

I’m late to the complaints department on this one, but today is the last day of Google Reader. I’ve used Google Reader for *years* to keep track of the various blogs that I follow and now Google is killing it! Boo-urns, Google! Boo-urns to you. And if that weren’t bad enough, I have also discovered […] →Read more

Happy Canada Day!

Don’t you just love when a holiday falls on a Monday? And don’t you extra super duper love it when it falls on a Monday and the entire long weekend has been super hot and sunny? In honour of this glorious holiday, I give you a picture of me at the Pacific terminus of the […] →Read more

Frog Days of Summer

So I spoke to someone at the pet store to see if I could figure out why all my frogs keep dying ((Like the frogs that came before them, my last fraggle of frogs all met their premature ends without me being able to figure out wtf.)) and the leading theory is water temperature. Since […] →Read more

Why You Should Always Proofread

So I walked into a meeting at work today and everyone was laughing very, very hard. It turns out that I had made a small typo when I submitted some revisions to a project charter we were working on. Being a writing nerd such as I am, I always insist that acronyms be spelled out […] →Read more

Movin’ On Up To A Deluxe Cubicle In The Sky!

OK, it’s not actually a cubicle, but a desk in a room with a bunch of other desks. Regardless, it’s on the 13th story of an office tower where our corporate office is located. At a location where I can ride the Skytrain or bike to work, so it’s pretty freak awesome. As well, I’m […] →Read more

New Furniture!

Since my breakup, I have been missing some key pieces of furniture. When Devon and I had originally moved in together, we combined our various pieces to make a full set based on who had the better/better sized piece of furniture. I had a coffee table with a broken leg, where I just  balanced the […] →Read more

Half Marathon #8 – a.k.a., who put all these hills here?

This will be brief, as I have a ridiculous amount of homework to do this week, but I thought that a blog posting to let you all know that I survived the Edge-to-Edge half marathon was in order. And I do mean survived, as this was by far the toughest half marathon route I’ve even […] →Read more

T minus 1 week to my next half!

Because I am crazy, I decided to sign up for a half marathon that occurs on the only weekend I have off in a month ((In truth, I didn’t really clue into the fact that it would be the only weekend I’d have off from school between May 24 and June 21. I just knew […] →Read more

Rampant Whining

You know that thing where you are so tired that you just want to cry? Yeah, I have that times one billion right now. This is most likely the result of several *insanely* long days I’ve had over the past week: Friday – work + school = 13.5 hrs Saturday – school  = 13.5 hrs […] →Read more

Only Two Days Left for You to Help! #FarmToFork

Remember that time I told you about Farm To Fork? Would you believe that they are down to the last 2 days of their crowd sourcing fundraising campaign? And so far, they’ve managed to raise – at the time of writing this blog posting – $10,990 of the $15,000 that they need to do the […] →Read more
