This morning at about 6am, I got a rather rude awakening. Skunk. The smell of skunk, sooo strong, that it woke me up. A skunk must have gotten upset outside my window, and my window was cracked open about an inch. This was enough for this horrid smell to invade my entire apartment. The pickel I was in was that it stunk in my apartment, but I couldn ( Read more... )

I decided to work from home today, because the commute to school is an hour each way, and there was no journal club this week, so I wouldn't be missing anything if I stayed home. Plus, I didn't wake up until 10, so I wouldn't have gotten to school until around noon, and I didn't want all the people there to think I'm a slacker who wakes up late. I ( Read more... )

The weekend. What a great time to catch up on all those things that you were too busy to do during the week. Washing those extra dishes, maybe cleaning out the closet, doing laundry, sending e-mails, finishing that chapter in the new novel you are reading. Or, instead, you could use the time to nurse your hangover. That's what I like to do. I don't ( Read more... )

So it's time for a week in review. I had an amazing time in Victoria. It was filled with lots of good quality Matek time, lots of good food, good times with friends, and lots of cheap beer. Matek did quite a good job in his post describing the fun times. It was nice to be in Victoria and to see strangers smiling instead of doing everything that ( Read more... )

Okay, so I would like to know your opinion on how early it is acceptable to phone someone (in particular, strangers) on a Saturday. The day after Friday night. So I say during the work week, 9am is perfectly acceptable. I would even be okay with 8 or 8:30, because I guess there are some businesses out there that actually open that early. What about ( Read more... )

so last evening i had the pleasure of going to 'the boat' in kensington market, and i now feel that my ultra hip and coolness rating has skyrocketed. for all of you who are so unhip that you don't know what the boat is, it's a dance club that is tucked away above a dingy hardware store that plays do-wop music from the '50s and '60s, and has a very ( Read more... )

As you may know from Matek's post, I have returned to Toronto, and to my own personal internet connection. I had a lovely time in British Columbia. After a FIVE hour delay at the airport (due to the christmas rush, weather, "technical difficulties," a stowaway on the plane who needed to be found, and de-icing) and another 5.5 hours in the air, I ( Read more... )

so after reading about heather and matek's night, i am inspired to describe my action packed evening. it was the biology graduate christmas party, which i had been looking foward to, as it was a time to consume alcohol with my peers, which i don't feel like i've done enough of since i started school. i was farting around downtown, looking for a new ( Read more... )

hello folkies, so i feel like you have all waited long enough, and all deserve to read an awesome post from me. so the latest news in my life is that i got a haircut today. i always have the hardest time deciding what salon to go to. i'm scared of the really cheap ones, because i got a really bad haircut from one once, and i don't want to go to the ( Read more... )

Yo yo yo. So this weekend was again a success. I decided that even though it is technically monday today, that doesn't mean that the weekend should end ( Read more... )
