Thanks, Wil

By Renee | Published: February 26, 2010
Way back when the Internets were young, when wild FARKers roamed the tubes beating up newbies and making boob jokes, I started reading a ‘blog by a guy named Wil (old ‘blog linked to for historical nostalgia purposes). Wil, of course, was the guy who had played the loved-to-be-hated teen-genius Wesley on Star Trek: The [...]

Friendly

By Renee | Published: February 25, 2010
The other night I hung out with a group of friendly folks and watched their kitten destroy small balls of foil, and then watched hockey followed by tiny girls throwing themselves bodily around an ice rink whilst dressed in sequins. It was fun. It amazes me how different watching sports in a group is from watching it [...]

Shopping

By Renee | Published: February 23, 2010
I tested my theory that rich people run the entire world – and rig it so that they and their children can stay rich without any further effort – by doing my grocery shopping in Point Grey. And you know what? IT IS TRUE. Cheaper groceries by far. The sales of grey poupon and black [...]

Mystery Roommate

By Renee | Published: February 22, 2010
So far, my time in my new city has been awesome. First, they threw an Olympics for me. And then, last night, we did a long-table roast beef dinner thing at the Irish Heather Pub, and the cheesecake was incredible. As was the company – lots of funny, good beer, and great people (and I [...]

Because the ten-minutes-later bus is way better. Much emptier. Not having to play “hello, thigh of a stranger” in the morning makes [...]

“hang out”

By Renee | Published: February 16, 2010
Walking home from work today, I saw a guy wearing a bright red Team Canada jersey dragging his kids to Thunderbird Stadium. He motioned towards the SUB and said “that’s where the students hang out.” The way he said “hang out” was hilarious, as if it was its very own sport, with rules and techniques. When [...]

Look! It’s a bird, it’s a plane…

By Renee | Published: February 15, 2010
It’s a blog post! Time to revive this thing. I’ll work on adding in the twitters and whatnot later, but for now, well, here it is. I’m in Vancouver, and I’m starting a new job, and not to sound all dramatic about it, but this is, like, a WHOLE NEW CHAPTER. Ok, well, it’s not [...]
