The idea for this post came to me when I was buying  some superglue. You’ll soon see why.   My Mom always told me she is somewhat relieved that she had girls and not boys. No frogs and snails and puppy dog tails… It would have been too much for my mother’s nerves. She got [...]

How are you coping with hot weather? Montreal has been an oven these past few days. A humid oven. If that’s even possible. I have a big problem when the heat strikes. I don’t sweat. Not a lot anyways. Not like a normal person.  Instead my body temperature just goes up by half a degree [...]

What was up with the crap you pulled yesterday, huh? Aren’t we, the inhabitants of Canadian territories, sufficiently oppressed weather-wise? Why do you torment us with snow storms at the end of April? THE END OF APRIL! After the magnolias, forsythias and tulips have blossomed…   I don’t want to call you the B word [...]

Ella is hosting a V Day-related blog carnival which you can read all about here. So I thought I’d take part in it and write something.     I’ll let you know when the post will be up, so stay tuned.

Hi everyone!   I’m taking a break from blogging during the holidays. We’re leaving for The Big Apple tomorrow morning and we’ll come back on the 30th. We were hoping for some nicer weather than here in Montreal, but it seems that it’s going to be cold and rainy in NY too… At least there [...]

My Amazon order arrived today. It only took 2 days from when I placed the order. I’m amazed.   [Gummi bears empty bag in the background]       I’ve ordered among others, “Fahrenheit 451”, “1984” and “A brave new world”. (See a pattern there?) I’ve read the last two but I liked them so [...]

Try to picture this: it’s 8 am on a weekday, D has already been through a 30 minute subway ride, and now he’s waiting for bus #7 that will take him to the place where he’ll sit for 8 hours speaking computer language and unraveling the mysteries of cross-site scripting, aka, his workplace.   He [...]

I saw Coco Avant Chanel this week too. As you can see I’ve been very busy.   I liked it. But I didn’t fall off my chair struck by how awesome this movie is. It was good but a teensy bit boring. I kept thinking “I’ve seen this before” and then it struck me, I [...]

Wednesday night D had a very bright idea [notice how I use italics for sarcasm]. Since he’s waking up at 6:30 am for work, every day, he’s usually beat before 10pm at night. It happened many times that we’re watching a movie or a show, and I’m making snarky or witty comments about this chick [...]
