The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
I seem to have developed a thing for obscure soda pops. It all started a few months ago when Devon and I happened upon a hole-in-the-wall convenience store with a sign that says, “We sell American pop” ((Or something to that effect.)). And when we went in, they had all sorts of pop that you […] →Read more
As you know from my constant yammering about it, I’m training to run the Victoria Half Marathon and my IT band is not happy about it. I had to run 18 km today – my second last long run before the actual race – and since the hilliness of New Westminster seems to be what’s […] →Read more
The official movie trailer for Lace Bite, the documentary about the Longest Game of Hockey for Cystic Fibrosis: The movie is also now listed on IMDB and is an official selection at the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival! →Read more
As I mentioned previously, my IT band hates me and I bought a foam roller to try to torture said IT band into submission. Foam rollers, for the uninitiated, are cylinders made of styrofoam that you roll your body over to work out knots (a.k.a., “trigger points”) and tightness of your various body parts. My […] →Read more
Sorry, I couldn’t resist that title. Tonight I had my first hockey game of the season! And while we got slaughtered, it was still lots of fun! Also, much to my relief, despite having not played since the spring, I still remember how to skate and stickhandle. Sadly, my shot has not miraculously improved through […] →Read more
Where in this case, the “it” is me! Item #81 on my 101 list is: participate in five research projects (as a research subject, not a researcher) and I recently heard about a very cool research project called the BC Generations Project that I’m eligible to participate in. From their website: “With five regional study teams and […] →Read more
In the constant battle against my own muscles which are apparently trying to kill me of late, I had forgotten about one of the most wonderful tools in my arsenal – Epsom salt baths! Now, I have to say first of all, I have *no idea* if there is any scientific evidence to support Epsom […] →Read more
After 22.5 hrs of class since Friday night ((Friday night 5-9:30 pm, Saturday 8 am to 5 pm, and Sunday 8 am to 5 pm)), most of which was rather math-intensive ((2 stats, 2 managerial econ, 2 macroecon)) – and thus exhausting – I am, well, exhausted. Sunday night after a weekend full of classes, […] →Read more
After a long day of class today ((Macroeconomics, followed by a double dose of statistics, then managerial economics. That be *a lot* of math.)), I rewarded myself by buying a foam roller ((Which will be the subject of an upcoming blog posting)) and then dinner at La Bell Patate, a Québécois restaurant on Davie Street.

And so my glorious, glorious summer break ends. After work today, I head back to class for the first time since June 24! The break from classes has been much appreciated – though I’ve been working on assignments and readings and our big business plan project, it’s been really nice to be able to sleep […] →Read more
