It’s confirmed. I’m not getting my car back. Canadian Direct has decided it’s prohibitively expensive to repair, so I guess that’s yet another thing I need to do this week… Try to find a replacement vehicle. Nothing will compare to my Lexus at that price range (what I’m assuming they’ll offer me, anyhow) so I’ll [...]

If getting a tooth whitened from the inside out doesn’t sound painful… You’re wrong! OUCH. I am alarmed at how painful that procedure was today. It’s not even the tooth that is hurting now that the freezing is wearing off. It’s actually the gum and surrounding tissues where my dentist took about five long minutes [...]

Take that, you stupid comment spammers!!!!!!! Heheheh… YAY! I went from about 100 spammed comments a day, submitted by about 10 spammers over the last few months, to absolutely none after I made my changes. I think this time, they’ll stick. What did I do?

I’m *so* tired tonight. It turned into an extremely long day, as I was up fairly early this morning to pick up a few things before heading to the Club to help setup for the Holiday Social that we were putting on for the rowing section. I guess I should have gotten to bed sooner [...]

Ho Ho Holy crap — It’s the 17th of December already, with just over a week until Christmas, and I don’t feel that Christmas spirit at all yet this year. I haven’t even felt compelled to throw on the Christmas cds! I’ve been avoiding the malls, and therefore have bought two whole gifts so far, [...]

Imagine you aren’t a standard Vancouverite, and you don’t have any problem making conversation with women here in town… Do you know what finger the wedding ring is located on? Do you look for it before you initiate conversation? The other day, a friend of mine said I shouldn’t wear any rings — It confuses [...]

Oh. My. God. I do *not* want a Toyota Corolla for my next car. Yuck. I rented a car from Enterprise last night, and all they had left was that. I was supposed to get a premium car replacement, but instead, I actually have to *use my arm* to roll down the window. I’d forgotten [...]

I regularily complain about the fact that men don’t approach me here in Vancouver. They don’t. But, tonight I’m out renting a movie at Blockbuster, wearing my lounge clothes and a baseball cap to boot… And this guy starts talking to me about movies. It seems he can’t pick one, or at least, that was [...]
