  • Looking back & looking forward

    2005 is almost over, and 2006 is almost here. I can't believe another year has come and gone so quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was still in Taiwan, but in fact it's been over five months since I got back. Tim…
  • I Feel FAT!

    The holiday season is still not over, but I don't think I can wait until January 1st to start dieting and exercising regularly again. This year I have really outdone myself in terms of eating and the resulting weight …
  • Post-Christmas & Boxing Day Recovery

    Wow, what a weekend!!! The holidays are always full of extremes for me and my family. This Christmas weekend was no exception. Friday I went to the office but did almost no actual work the entire day. Everyone w…
  • HAPPY CHRISTMAKWANZAKKAH! There's no need for a countdown anymore. If you don't know how many days there are left until Christmas by now, then you're beyond my help. So the holiday season is almost upon me... litera…
  • Politically Incorrect Rant

    Disclaimer: this is a rant, and a long, politically incorrect one at best. This post in no way reflects my opinion of Americans in general... just the big-mouthed, arrogant, right-wing Conservative Republicans who shoul…
  • Happy happy joy joy

    So after yesterday's fiasco with the teacher calling in sick, I managed to find time to update my Xanga and relax. To say that things got better at the end of my day would be an understatement! Yesterday afternoon I wa…
  • Weekend Recap - Brokeback Mountain Review

    //EDIT: 4:16 p.m. - Things are finally under control and I have time to update properly! It wouldn't be a Monday morning without some drama. But more on that later. I had a really good weekend. Friday night the adm…
  • T G I F

    Christmas countdown: 9 more days!!! Another week is almost over, which means there's only one more week before my holiday break. My centre is going to be closed between December 24 and 28, so I will have those five…
  • Pretty In Pink

    Apparently pink and purple are my colours. Or, more specifically pale pink and the colour of aubergines. I have a bunch of different shirts that I wear to the office on a regular basis, and usually I go through my day…
  • Stating the obvious and useless facts

    Christmas countdown continues: 11 days to go! Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Have you started?! Today I was browsing 24 hours Toronto on the subway this morning, as I usually do, and I came across…
  • Misery-sauga!

    Today I'm working out of our office in Mississauga, aka Misery-sauga. For those of you unfamiliar with the Greater Toronto Area, Mississauga is west of Toronto. It's basically a glorified suburb with big shopping malls…
  • Weekend Recap & Monday Blues

    The weekend was great, but today has gotten off to a less than perfect start. Friday was our annual year end/Christmas/holiday party. We invited the students and staff to come and have some food and drink to celebrat…
  • More Random Bits

    It's funny how the whole city of Toronto falls into chaos when the first snowfalls happen. A couple of weeks back we had a bit of snow that caught most people off guard, and everyone went nuts. Today we have a bit (oka…
  • Random Bits

    It's now 4:15 p.m., and I have finally found the time to sit down at my desk and update my Xanga. It's been a very long day, but I shouldn't complain. This first three days of the week went by quite smoothly, and today…
  • Christmas has arrived!

    It's a busy day today, but I wanted to post something quickly before I got caught up in today's events. Christmas is officially 19 days away, but for me it arrived a bit early. Yesterday shortly after I posted the…
  • Where there's smoke, there's fire!

    This weekend was supposed to be quiet, relaxing, and uneventful. And it was... except for the part where I almost burned down my sister's apartment. On Saturday I spent the afternoon hanging out with my sister and b…
  • Christmas countdown

    Including today there are 23 shopping days left until Christmas. I've done about half of my shopping, including all of Peter's gifts and my brother-in-law's gifts. I've also managed to get part of my sister's gift as…
