The value of Capitol Hill
I live in a neighborhood of Seattle called Capitol Hill. I guess it's kind of like The Annex in Toronto, though maybe not as student-y. There are definitely students around (there is a college right near my place), but it also has lots of people in their mid to late 20's. It's the kind of neighborhood that has people who dress funny and go to great ( Read more... ) -
A Challenge Accepted: 50 Random Things That Make Me Awesome
My new awesome friend Alida made a list on her blog of 50 random things that make her awesome. I found it quite entertaining, and so when she challenged me to make my own, I decided to take up the challenge. This may be the longest post I've ever written so feel free to skim.

Food Flipping
One of the things that I make myself on a regular basis is tortellini with some sort of tomato based sauce.

Thanksgiving come early! (late?)
As you may remember I went to Whistler for Thanksgiving. As you may also remember, I am from Canada.

It was one of the best meals that I can remember ( Read more... ) -

3 things I did today
1) Played Monopoly for money. I came in 4th out of 7 people. I did not do so well. I started off behind (in the first two turns I didn't get any properties) and everyone felt sorry for me, but then I started rolling and quickly jumped to a lead in how many properties I owned. This turned the court of public opinion against me, and all of a sudden I ( Read more... ) -
American Dental
I just got a bill in the mail from Primera (my insurance provider) and they are charging me with 3 counts of restorative dental work, where I owe $80. But get this... I don't even have a dentist! let alone a dental restorator! I have't been to the dentist since leaving Toronto ( Read more... ) -
Whistler!
I went to Whistler for Thanksgiving. I'm not going to go into too much detail about that, but will instead post this video documenting our non-skiing adventures.
Needless to say, I had a grand old time. We took many pictures and videos. Maybe I'll post some of them later ( Read more... )
