Richard Rushworth passed away this evening around 6 o’clock. He’d been in the hospital for a week and I didn’t know. I was on the phone this evening with Allan, half consoling him, half trying to convince him that he should not feel guilty for not being right there by his side at the end, [...]

I haven’t posted for over a week… I have a Philosophy paper due tomorrow and all I want to do right now is to go to sleep for a hundred years.

Melissa and I hit Science World today!

When you dump a massive cup of coffee in your lap in class while you’re sitting in the front row and spend the next hour trying to dry yourself discreetly while trying not to distract the professor, reeking of denim lattÈ, then sneaking out at the end of class strategically holding a rucksack to hide [...]

Monday night. Kristin and I just ate enough fondue for 5 people, just between the two of us. We gorged ourselves. We had to, after an evening like this… for the second time, Kristin and I missed each other at the airport! I thought last time was bad, but this time I waited at the [...]

The last couple of days have wiped me out!
Yesterday morning was Spanish class, which I feel a bit more caught up on now because I missed last week. Last night I went to see “To Kill a Mockingbird” at the Stanley Theatre with Karen Ameyaw and her friend Lauren. Karen’s brother Kwesi played Tom Robinson, [...]

While the sun was still burning brightly in the sky, we made a trip out to Ambleside Park, which is right by the beach in West Vancouver. As the crow flies, my apartment is so close by, separated only by Georgia Strait between Stanley Park and Ambleside. There were all sorts of playground equipment there [...]

Dame Edna was HILARIOUS… if it weren’t for Dame Edna as a major part of this evening (my mother’s 55th birthday), I would’ve slit my wrists… why am I always the one to take her out for her birthday?? Because no one is brave enough. That’s why.
OK, on to the woman of the evening; strangely [...]
