If my blog were a country..
Posted on November 20, 2010 | 17 CommentsIf my blog were a country, it’d be larger than Anguilla! Anguilla (pronounced /æŋˈɡwɪlə/ ang-GWIL-ə) is a British overseas territory in the Caribbean, one of the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles.

I was born in 1964!
Posted on November 20, 2010 | 24 CommentsOkay not really, but this generational quiz says so. To be fair to the quiz, I didn’t really recognize a lot of the famous singers or athletes, and for the toys, I might have picked very ‘old’ toys seeing as I picked the little kitchen... -
The secret to a happy relationship is in the sharing
Posted on November 19, 2010 | 24 CommentsYou know how there are parts of meals that someone likes but another doesn’t? For example, I like to eat only the stuffing in turkey, but not the turkey itself, whereas my mom hates the stuffing but likes the turkey. Or take dark or white... -
Ranting: Is it different coming from a man or a woman?
Posted on November 15, 2010 | 32 CommentsMethinks so. A ex-reader who wrote in a comment and told me that even though I warned everyone I would be ranting in a post, he was to become an ex-reader because one of my former rants from almost 2 years ago or more turned... -
Godiva Chocolates, Shawarma Cravings and Other Observations
Posted on November 14, 2010 | 30 CommentsHAVING A SEINFELD MOMENT Okay so my drycleaner around the corner (never used them before), seems to not be able to find my winter coat that I dropped off for pre-winter cleaning. Wassup with that? I feel like I’m having a Seinfeld moment, and this... -
I feel downright awkward sometimes.
Posted on November 12, 2010 | 70 CommentsInspired by Paranoid Asteroid’s “Getting Old” post, it made me realize that sometimes I feel downright awkward around people my age. (Jersey Shore morons.) Update: I think some people are getting really hung on up on my bashing of the show, but I am talking... -
So, what do you want for Christmas? (Also, read on for how to make a cheap protective cover for your handheld devices)
Posted on November 9, 2010 | 39 CommentsThis question is BOUND to come up: What do you want for Christmas?* I know it’s only the start November, but I am seeing a lot of sparkly red, silver and green decorations going up in stores. (*Apologies to everyone who doesn’t celebrate Christmas. I... -
Women on TV and the Industries they work in
Posted on November 8, 2010 | 46 CommentsI was watching some of my favourite shows on video the other day and noticed something interesting: None of them work in Engineering or the Sciences, and only a few are in sort of very male dominated industries. Check it out: Sex and the City:... -
To my future offspring: Prepare yourselves!!!
Posted on October 29, 2010 | 23 CommentsAfter 9 months of carrying you and popping you out after hours of intense labour, you will be at my mercy for the first 5 years to dress up in cute little costumes. I know some of you will find it creepy, but I’d probably... -
Image all boils down to the car you drive, apparently
Posted on October 22, 2010 | 46 CommentsBy now, everyone knows I drive an old, old, OLD car. Like past a decade old and still kicking. It isn’t pretty, it’s scratched up, it doesn’t have automatic anything (except windshield wipers) and I have to drive at 50 km/h so it doesn’t rattle...
