I just got asked by a friend to proofread his French notes for a presentation. I said sure. It’s always good to get another set of eyes looking at things you write, especially if it’s not in your native tongue. Granted French isn’t my native tongue either, but I said I’d help. I knew the …

Aaaaa! Not Yet!
I was sitting with a friend yesterday when she suddenly turned to me and said, “You have a big patch of grey hair!” This freaked me out, because I’m only 27! What the hell am I doing with a big spot of grey hair? I know I stress out a lot, maybe I gave them …
Do I Dare Call it a Debate?
I kind of feel bad not having this up sooner, but time got away from me. Then this whole thing came back to me, and with all the other talk of the municipal election, I felt this had to be posted. I’m really glad they have debates before an election, not just so you can …
Thought Avalanche!
This monster of a post has been building for a while, and there’s so many different things I want to say that I’m afraid it might get away from me. So try and stay ahead of the thought avalanch if you can! Now that I’ve said that, whatever I could produce will look like nothing …
To Make a Long Story Short….You Shouldn’t!
I’ve always hated the fact that finding unabridged audiobooks is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What really pisses me off is they don’t always say they’re abridged, you pay an arm and a leg for them, and after you’re done reading the book, you listen to the credits and the dreaded words …

You Are Here?
It seems like I say this every time I start one of these things, but I have to say it again. It’s been way too long since we’ve done this, sorry about that. It’s also been way too long since I’ve done pretty much anything around here, so sorry about that too, unless you hate …
Snopes.com is the Best!
Man, I learn something new every day. Somebody was freaking out about the old scam where people used to phone businesses and get them to dial some numbers, and because of that, the person asking the business to dial numbers would get access to their long distance. So I went to get the status of …
Don’t ask the Question if You Don’t Want the Answer!
I love it when people ask you a question because they have to, and then seem completely upset that you actually want to give them a response. I had to call the lovely people over at OSAP, that is the Ontario Student Loan centre. Every time I call, I first get the automated system. It …

Something to Ponder
Let me take you back to May of 2005. Peter MacKay has just broken up with Belinda Stronach. He says. “I think I’ll go home and walk my dog. At least dogs are loyal.” Now, let’s speed forward to 2006 when he calls Belinda Stronach a dog. Maybe…maybe he’s paying her a complement? Or maybe …
A Few Ways to Be a Little More Helpful
To everybody who posts apartment listings: when choosing between whether to mention how much the damn thing costs or to gush about the apartment’s view, you might want to choose to mention the rent. If you do mention the monthly rent, please tell me if it’s inclusive or not. I know you’re thinking you’ll get …
