Baby it’s cold outside!
Vancouver has had a week or two now of seriously Wintery weather. For a city that normally considers 10C “cold”, the snow and temperatures in the negatives have been a bit of a shocker. Personally, I love the snow, but it’s becoming very apparent that our city just can’t handle it. This weekend, a woman […]

Remembrance
Please stop and take a moment tomorrow to remember our past and present servicemen and women. I will be wearing my poppy proudly, remembering the service of my grandparents, and praying for our troops, both those deployed and on Canadian soil.

October 15, 2007 is Blog Action Day. A day when bloggers around the world, whatever their focus, will write about the environment and climate change. So here’s the truth, everybody: climate change freaks me out. Big time. I’ve always been fascinated by natural disasters – earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, the whole lot. When I was […]

Fifteen dollars.
One of my favourite websites has long been TomatoNation. Sars is hilarious, and her writing frequently makes me laugh so hard I think I might pee myself. I am no longer allowing myself to read her cat-related posts at work because they make me cry and squeak from trying to hold in the laughter. Sars […]
