A few days ago I was in a crap mood. I had my head on my desk,  I was pouting like a wet dog and I think there were moments of whimpering.  It’s never a pretty sight when I get in a bad mood but I guess for those around me it might be mildly entertaining. It didn’t take long for my whimpering to turn into a hissy fit. I believe at one point I actually slammed my foot down on the floor... [Read more]

Valentine’s Day and me generally don’t get along. Don’t get me wrong – I am a sucker for chocolates, cheesy greeting cards and candle light dinners. Actually, I pretty much adore any stereotypical romantic gesture. But for some strange reason I have had the worst luck on Valentine’s Day. One of my past boyfriends hated the “commercialization of love” and didn’t... [Read more]

My gorgeous (and brand new blogger) friend Alicia recently tagged me “it” in a friendly blogging photo game. The rules? Post photos of 7 red things found in your house – then tag others to do so. So without any delay here is some red from the land of Wanker…. This poinsettia refuses to die. I stopped watering it around New Year’s. I am concerned it’s already dead... [Read more]

A few weeks ago, my lovely friend @gypsybandito contacted me with a perfectly insane and brilliant idea. Simply stated, he wanted to have a road-trip from Montreal to Austin, Texas. Why Austin? Every March, Austin hosts the SXSW music, film and interactive festival. I could babble on and on about SXSW and why its so fucking awesome but you can just visit their website to find out more. Every year... [Read more]

Calendars are important. Well at least they are for people like me. Somewhere between the ages of 30-32 I lost the ability to remember anything. I never remember phone numbers, birthdays, scheduled events or even my own postal code. Its quite common for me to put important numbers to the tune of a popular song in an attempt to remember them. For years the only way I remembered the postal code to my... [Read more]

I have a confession. There is a tiny part of my personality that likes cooking, entertaining and wearing an apron! Even more shocking is I think this tiny part is slowly becoming a medium sized part. That’s right…the idea of cooking up a feast and serving it to a house full of guests gives me a tiny boner. (Insert sound of shock and horror!) This past Christmas Eve, I once again dove... [Read more]

2009 Sucked Ass! Well, I guess that’s not completely true but its certainly the first thing that popped in my head when I decided to write this year-end blog post. 2009 was one fucker of a year and I am actually really happy to see it go. But its not my style to whine too much and maybe I should try a more  “glass half full”  attitude. So, with some positive nostalgia lets looks... [Read more]

So its Christmas time….. Yipppeee! It’s that time of year where you gain 5-10 pounds, drunkenly say things you regret and naively convince yourself that when the new year comes you will get that promotion! Well its time to stop deluding yourself people!!!! Wow…that was an unnecessary tangent. Back on track….Christmas is that time of year where angels get wings, and baby Jesus... [Read more]

I have always been a victim of my own imagination. As a kid I lived inside my head. This habit was only perpetuated by my constant viewing of movies. In particular, romantic comedies and melodramatic foreign films. It was quite common of me to spend the weekend by myself in front of the TV day dreaming about my life and how I wanted it to be more like the movie I was watching.  These day dreams would... [Read more]

I am in love with teddy bears. Some would say this love is just verging on weird…. Then just two days ago I saw yet another teddy bear at a local department store. As soon as I saw him my heart melted and I fell madly in love. This bear is MASSIVE. Larger than my butt! I was so overwhelmed by the sight of him that I actually fell to my knees in the middle of store. I cuddled into him, squeezed... [Read more]

After exhaustively babbling in two blog posts about my adventures in Europe – I thought it only fitting that I throw together a video. This little snapshot tells the story of a girl (me!) trying to cure a broken heart and discovering the only way she can do it is to leave the continent. Although a highly expensive form of therapy  – nothing heals a wound quite like the combination of... [Read more]

After finding this on Etsy a few weeks ago I realized my obsession with robots has really gotten out of hand. But before I continue lets take a moment to stare at the awesomeness that is the “Say Anything Robot.” My true love Lloyd Dobbler in robot form. It brings a tear to the eye and a boner in my pants. Zing! I look at robots the way most people look at puppies. They make me happy and... [Read more]

1. I Got a Tattoo OH YES! After two hours of hard work (Massive thanks to TroubleBound Tattoo) and some teeth gritting pain, I am now the proud owner of two lovely sparrows on my back. As always, after one gets a tattoo you feel like you can take over the world – and this time was no different. (Click below to actually hear me babble right after the experience.) I am not sure if this is odd... [Read more]

Bonjour! I am in the UK! Well I was in the UK. Now I am in Canada. But for the next few minutes, lets go back in time and take a trip to the mysterious land of London! (Cue The Clash for background music!) Airlines and the Art of Bad Breath On Sept 17, at approximately 6:30 p.m. I landed at Heathrow Airport – Terminal 5. My travels from Hamburg to London were uneventful but still memorable.... [Read more]

How the fuck did it end up being September! For almost a year I have been anticipating my trip to Europe and now I sit in Halifax Airport – waiting to catch my connecting flight back home. Europe happened in a nano-second and although I do feel tired from my recent travels, excessive carb intake and mass champagne consumption  – I sit here stunned that I was actually in Europe. I actually... [Read more]
