Next to knowing the bilingual version of the national anthem – I cannot recite it in straight English, or French, but only the mixed version – the following poem is the one other passage embedded in memory from my school days.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and [...]
This clip totally made my day.
I saw it posted on Facebook via Patton Oswalt.
The other day, the Boy and I were discussing what kind of dog we’d like to get. I’d like to get a Boxer, and he wants an Icelandic Sheepdog. I really had no information about this breed, so I listened to his sales pitch, but what was humourous to me was when he was describing [...]
I guess I can stop paying for overpriced Polaroid film on Ebay now.
I’m far too excited for this. I know what I’m asking for this holiday season.

I’ve been having mixed feelings about this piece of technology. I have not had a telly in years, and it makes me a little ill thinking about how much [...]
It’s that time of year, the barometer goes all wonky and my head feels like it’s going to explode.
I love fall, but not on days like this. Today I actually lost vision in my left eye from the onset of a migraine and had to go to the hospital.
It was kind of scary only being [...]
I can’t believe the over blown media coverage Queen’s University homecoming still gets. Read it here.
In my opinion that is most of the problem. The masses do not have good memories, however if you keep bringing up these stories it just adds more fuel. When I was attending uni there, the majority of the people attending [...]
