UBC

By Renee | Published: July 24, 2010
Now that I work at UBC I feel like I have some investment in our branding. A lot, really. Why? Well, I’ve got to, like, use it. And so I care. More-with-love-than-with-sorrow, then, I’ve got to say: it sucks. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure people have spent lots of time working on it. This [...]

nature!

By Renee | Published: July 5, 2010
We live five blocks from Queen Elizabeth Park, so tonight we took a stroll up there. It was lovely. I had no idea there was such an incredible view from the top of the hill. Also, did you know that there’s a triodetic dome stuffed full of exotic birds and flowers and all sorts of [...]

moving

By Renee | Published: June 21, 2010
Hey, I moved in April. To BC! Never did write a post about it. The less said the better, really: moving is a miserable and expensive experience that, frankly, sucks. Ugh. However, I wanted to tell the Internet so that it knows how it is out there, for all those people contemplating a cross-Canada move. [...]

Recycling

By Renee | Published: June 3, 2010
A while ago we took an ass-load – well, an Accent-load – of boxen back to the recycling depot. There must have been 50 flattened boxes, all told, and I took great delight in leaping around the foyer where they had been piled, exclaiming about the amount of space now available in the entryway, space [...]

moving

It’s been an eventful week, Reader. There was an awesome get-together on Friday night, that included card-games about being a bean farmer. It was actually really fun – and agricultural! Also, there was some fabulous chili and I met some very fun people, with some great tattoos. But the big doings were back a few [...]

eventful

By Renee | Published: March 24, 2010
Good morning, pretties. Yeah, I’m settling into Vancouver. How settled in, you ask? Well, take for example last weekend. It was just filled with two of my favourite things: critical thinking, and breasts. And critical thinking about breasts – mostly that last one was just me, true, but they say that the best way to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

admitting you have a problem

By Renee | Published: February 17, 2010
… is the first step to a great blog post. So: I admit it. The reason I started blogging again was so that I would have an excuse to attend Northern Voice. Well, mostly. See, I was one of the group of ‘bloggers way back when blogs were totally unknown (that was before they became uncool, [...]
