… but there's nothing I can do about it (well unless I somehow randomly come into possession of a time turner in time for Wednesday or something equally unlikely…). Regardless, I'm pretty sure that the organizers of both events would love more attendees. So if you're available I highly recommend looking at attending one or… Continue reading I wish I could attend more of the Hackathon (and mixer)…

… just how particular I get about food at times. I don't consider myself a foodie, and certainly when at someone else's home or otherwise, I will usually eat whatever is provided, but left to my own devices I kind of range between eating healthily, eating lazily and eating super randomly. It's kind of strange,… Continue reading Sometimes it just surprises me…

Tuesdays are my school days this semester. And we have a wonderful afternoon class, a two hour break and then an evening class. Eric suggested a while back that we try Kabuki (it's in the building that has the Garneau theatre in it) and so today in between classes we (Eric, Dan and I) went.… Continue reading A new Japanese restaurant (well to me, it's been around for a bit) and school

So today I went home to my parents to celebrate Thanksgiving, spend time with the family and celebrate my brother's birthday. En route we picked up some presents for Luke (Logan and I did) and picked up his ice cream cake from Dairy Queen as well. Once at Mom and Dad's, I got to spend… Continue reading A good Thanksgiving

Yesterday I went to the City Market on 104th street with Diana and Brett. It was (as usual) a great experience. To be honest, I love the City Market and wish that it were open all year round. We each bought lunch and I got prune plums, tomatoes, some mushroom spread, and some cumin cheese… Continue reading I'm going to miss the City Market this fall/winter…

This week was Read In Week and I read at two Elementary schools. It was certainly a fun time and very interesting to see what the kids ask or what they are interested in. I was very confused by the French Immersion class that was conducted mostly in English (we had to explain nearly everything… Continue reading Read In!

Well, that was a very different experience. I went to BC with family. On a leisurely trip to BC — and that was I guess the difference: instead of always being in a hurry to get somewheres, we were able to stop and take in the sights. And the pictures I took with my phone… Continue reading Back from BC and finally, sort of, maybe just a little bit, more caught up?

… as I'm heading off to BC with family on Thursday for my grandmother's burial and won't be back to town until Monday. Thus I have a tonne to accomplish including packing, working a full shift, seeing a Citadel play and more all before I leave town tomorrow night (yes I will leave town on… Continue reading It'll be a busy week…

Peppermint tea, chamomile tea, lemon tea, mango sunrise tea, green tea, white tea… it seems lately I'm consuming a lot of this marvelous beverage. And for good reason too — I'm trying to stay in the best of health and well, I've got a mild cold at the moment which isn't as amazing as I… Continue reading Copious amounts of tea

So yesterday was a good one: not only did I have a most excellent LISAA brunch, but I caught up with Justin, and then hosted board games at my apartment. It was perfect as the crowd was small but good and we played a nice assortment of games. First we played Sushi Roll, which was… Continue reading Games: Fruit, geography and more!
