I have officially banned Pie R Squared.

Places I have banned
1. Blue Chip Cookie
2. Koerner's Pub (or whatever the fuck it's called)
3. Woodward cafe (the food is just gross)
4. The pasta place in the food court (I've never eaten there, but the woman was incredibly rude to my sister, so it warrants a BAN)
5. Pie R Squared

On Monday, I went to Staples, the one in the village by UBC, to buy ink for my printer, and also bought some highlighters and a binder. If you live in BC, you're probably aware that "school supplies" are PST-exempt. However, not everything that is purchased for school is PST-exempt. Highlighters, for example, are not PST-exempt, which is stupid ( Read more... )

I don't think I ever wrote about this because my computer had crashed, and October was a really bad month for me, and I didn't have the fucking energy to write about it, but back in October, Simon got fleas, and it was awful--I had fleas in my bed, was getting very badly bitten, and had to wash all my bedding and couch slip covers. It was ( Read more... )

On Wednesday night, I was bored, had some spare time, and had a wave of inspiration, in addition to being a total loser, so I made a personal ad on Craigslist in the "women seeking men" section. This time, I decided to try a different approach, and post an ad that was a little different than the usual, "Hey, these are my interests and this is what ( Read more... )

The people in MICB 202 are fucking morons, at least judging by what people post on the message boards. So far nothing quite as stupid as "Are paper tabs/paper clips/staples/folding pages OK?" (MICB 202 exams are not open book, as explicitly stated on the course outline, but I wouldn't be surprised if closer to exam time, people asked if it was ( Read more... )

Yesterday afternoon, I was waiting for the bus to go to my sister's place. Standing a couple of feet behind me was a guy also waiting for the bus, and I found him a little irritating because he was humming and making little sounds. (I really hate it when people make noises with their mouth because they have nothing better to do!*) On the bus he ( Read more... )

While we're on the topic of shitty transit service...

Vancouver's skytrain system is pretty good, that is unless it snows or someone commits suicide. But when it is running, it's a good system. However, it stops running too damn early! On weekdays and Saturdays, the last train from Vancouver to the suburbs is 1:15am, and the last train from the ( Read more... )

On Sunday December 28th, my sister and I saw the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (it was quite an enjoyable film). After the movie (8:30pm), we parted ways to go home, she taking the bus, and me the skytrain. We were downtown, so I went to Granville Station. The station platform was fairly crowded, although this is typical for ( Read more... )

I have the news on right now, and they just had a story about "transportation" during the Olympics, and how there will be road closures downtown to control traffic. It's totally understandable that fewer cars on the road, especially downtown, during the Olympics is a good thing, but my question is, how are people supposed to get around the city ( Read more... )

During biochem this morning, a girl two rows ahead of me was surfing the internet nearly the entire time, not paying any attention to the lecture, something that really pisses me off. Of course I don't expect everyone to pay rapt attention to every single word of lectures, and I understand that people's minds wander or they get bored (I certainly ( Read more... )
