About a week ago, I discovered that people have been talking about me. The strange part is that they're not talking about my scandalous escapades, but my future employment. Now, I'm excited to be all new-jobified, but it's certainly not the first thing on my mind at the moment. I haven't really talked about articling since August, when interviews ( Read more... )

My return to Canada has been marked by snow, drinking, gambling ... and the plague. The post-Law Games virus has completely taken me over, to the point where after three days of sucking it up I surrendered to the temptations of my couch and TMNOnDemand ( Read more... )

Remember that Disney movie starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas, about a teenager's wacky adventures to get home in time for Christmas? I'm no JTT, and I'm not a teenager, and this adventure isn't particularly wacky ... but what I am is still in Europe, not at home snug in my bed ( Read more... )

My life as a globetrotter is drawing to a close. I'm a Pepsi-Max-driven bundle of emotion these days, although naturally my complete lack of facial expression disguises the thoughts churning within. And I would love to be poetic and profound about saying goodbye, but my words - like my attention span - seem to have deserted me ( Read more... )

Gentlemen, listen up. There's a revelation a-brewin', and it could change your life. Forget The Game ... upwardover's brand-new, patent-pending system will make your next trip to the bar a sure-fire pick-up experience. Or, at the very least, it will make your next trip to the bar more entertaining for everyone involved ( Read more... )

I could write about the Sinterklaas party, but isn't it fun being kept in suspense? Sure it is. So instead, I will share with you all the soundtrack to my life ... or, "if my life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?" Yup, putting my 61 hours of music on shuffle, and playing along. It's like "Random Rules" on The Onion AV Club, except that I ( Read more... )

For the past five years, I have been sick during the holiday season. Of course, I usually have a cold or two before Christmas rolls around, but this year I thought my luck was changing. I foolishly thought that maybe, just maybe, I could get home without being sick once. Obviously, I was wrong. And, to make matters worse, I'm sick just in time for ( Read more... )

It's hard to know what to say after you've been gone for awhile. Time passes, stuff happens, but how do you sum that up? How do you possibly encapsulate a month of travelling in a single blog post ( Read more... )

I'm currently in Luxembourg with my mother and my aunt. This means that I'm sleeping in a double bed for the first time in 2 months, and oh man is it sweet. It also means that I'm eating more than usual and exercising less than usual - which is saying a lot, because I exercise rarely and eat a fair amount. The food here is ridiculous though - so ( Read more... )

Remember when Matchbox 20 was on the radio all the time, before Rob Thomas embarked on his one-hit-wonder solo career? I know he's married to a supermodel and all, but I just don't think he's pretty enough or talented enough to generate huge outpourings of sorrow if his career never goes past that song with the line "I don't wanna be lonely no more ( Read more... )
