This has been a weird week for me ( Read more... )

The following is written in the women's washroom in the Second Cup on the corner of St-Cat and Guy:

"When I was your age, I was losing my teeth, not my virginity."

Now help me out here, I cannot find a way to interpret this that is not gross and deeply disturbing. Thanks for staying classy, bathroom graffiti. :P

I've come to terms with our manga ( Read more... )

Tuesday

• First day in NY: the shuttle ride from JFK was longer than the flight. NY drivers are insane.
• First supper: at a great Mexican restaurant.
• First stop: Times square and its huge stores (Toys 'R' Us, Disney Store).
• We saw Rockerfeller center.... eventually, I got us lost.
• We finished at Book-off: a used Japanese bookstore. I avoided going ( Read more... )

So Saturday was Montreal Comiccon and it was a lot of fun. But oh what a difference a few big name celebrities makes. It literally took me 3 hours to get in the door. It wasn't all bad. I met two cool girls from Ottawa and took a sadistic pleasure at listening to the sound people made when they turned a corner and realized the line was twice as ( Read more... )

Things that were discussed at the lovely tea today and that I said I would share:

George Takei giving a horrible homophobe a piece of his mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UACK93xF-FE (there is something mindblowing about hearing George Takei call someone a douchebag ^_^)

Comics about rule 34. (I'm surprised I was able to find that second one ( Read more... )

Absent from Felicity (Hamlet Slash)

George Takei rocking out.

Also, the McCord Museum has a game to test your Victorian etiquette. They must have heard of H and my Victorian personas. :)

Thanks to everyone who came to my party on Saturday, I had a wonderful time!

Now, back to work after 5 days off.

Do I have to?

This morning I went to the CLSC to get my synthroid prescription renewed and to have my persistent exhaustion, nausea and headaches checked out.

I actually like my CLSC (as much as one can like medical centers anyways), it is quite well organized (I only waited 2 hours!) and the nurse was very nice. She even let me examine her fancy blood sugar ( Read more... )

An interesting description and analysis of Pride and Prejudice. :D

“You mustn’t do it again,” Jamie said. “Pride and Prejudice is a pretty good book, actually. I mean I haven’t read a lot of books. I start a lot of them and then give up. But I’m going to finish this one. It’s actually pretty funny. It’s all about this bunch of sisters and their ( Read more... )

James: So what do you want for your birthday?
Me: Books?
James: Aside from that.
Me: I can't think of any video games or DVDs that I want...
Me:...
Me:... I thought of something but you won't like it.
James: No bookshelves.
Me: *grumble*
Me (reading an email about a pirate themed dating sim): I know! Pirates.
James: ...
Me: I don't mean these pirates, real ( Read more... )

This morning an angry woman wanted us to prevent her son from skipping Chinese class and coming to the library to play video games.

Then a man equated us telling him that the children's department is reserved for children and their parents to calling him a pedophile.

And then, when the day was almost over, a child vomited all over the floor.
