It’s official. After a particularly arduous workout I wanted nothing more than to jump into the shower, get the steam going and enjoy the fact that there were 15 inches of snow outside and I hadn’t left the apartment since I slogged my way home through the snow the evening before. I have what I [...]
Green living at its best
Carol: Dear Diary,
Carol: Today, I bought method hand soap! It doesn’t smell as good as the normal kind I get, but hey, you have to sacrifice for your planet.
Sam: hahahahaha
Carol: Just to show my commitment to the cause, I also invested in a magic wand to cut water costs while showering.
Carol: Dear Diary, Day 302
Carol: [...]
Why skinny jeans suck
Call me a fashion premie, call me a coward, call me old-fashioned. Your insults will bounce off of my gently bootcut jeans that complement me perfectly, unlike the skinny jeans that grace the figures of girls world-wide. Big, small, inbetween, the skinny jean is NOT your friend. Thinking it is only serves to allow you [...]
A love / hate relationship with exercise
After a lovely rap, drink and noshing session with the multi talented and ever-charming Brit Horvat and Darrell Proctor, I came home with a grim resolution to exercise. I skipped out yesterday since I needed to recover after the stomach flu (or some sort of ‘food borne virus’) knocked me out of commission for a [...]
Pretty sure robots are going to take over the earth
In a profound bliss that can only be brought along by the stomach flu one day, severe exhaustion the next, coupled with a severe fear of eating anything, I have stumbled upon another lovely nail to hammer in humanity’s coffin regarding the robot uprising. The charming folks over at geekologie.com have reported on robotic substitute [...]
If I still had a blog, I’d probably put this conversation on it… Under the entry: “Shit frequently”

Carol: The cokehead?
Jason: It’ll come to me at 6:38 this evening, when I’m on the toilet.
Jason: No, the home improvement guy.
Carol: Yeah, Bob Vila was a cokehead.
Jason: Oh.
Carol: My dad and I used to watch ‘This old house’ allll the time.
Jason: I have a great uncle whose [...]
Carol: The Four-ce Is With Her
My old co-worker and generally ornery yet lovable guy Jason has inducted me into a ‘Four Things Meme’ which roughly translates as a virtual chain letter in my opinion. Thanks for being FIVE years old Jason! Since he tagged me with it on the 27th of May and It is now I think… [...]
Carol’s Update and Apology
To put it bluntly, I got laid off. This happened some time in December, but since the company kept me on through the end of March, I decided to mum’s the word on my recent axing. I’ve been away from ‘conventional’ work now for about a month and a half, scouring job sites, boards and [...]
My Friend Andy
In perhaps his awesomest music video of all time, is my buddy, Andy. I saw this video before I met him, and ever since, I’ve been dying to see it again. So I’m putting this baby up so others can enjoy, and so I don’t have to search youtube for it every time I want [...]
I Like the Terminator Series
Last night after watching Terminator 2 in its entirety, I realised that I really like the Terminator series. I’m not sure if this makes me more of a nerd than previously thought, or if it’s just par for the course when you’re a class 78 Nerd like me. Either way. I like Terminator, and I’m [...]
