I don't know about the rest of you .. but I quite often fear for the fate of the world. I watched a video from SourceFed yesterday that says a good portion of people don't know how to spell anymore because of spell check.. which doesn't surprise me at all. I can't spell a lot of words that are probably considered common. I rely on spell check to alert me to my spelling mistakes. Though I think part of that can be blamed on our typing instructors who taught us to just type essay's without worrying about spelling and to go back and check it after the fact so as to be able to type faster. I can type 80wpm but I know I make a lot of mistakes along the way.. so who is right? Should we be more concerned about our spelling or our typing speed. I mean.. wasn't spell check invented for a reason? Another thing that concerns me is the level of reading these days... do kids read like they used to? I used to read all the time as a kid? The novels they write for kids t...

so I’ve finally had a break from my headache for the first time in almost a week... yesterday I couldn’t even function.. I took some migraine medication .. and it made me sleep for hours and I started to feel a little better, but then it creeped back in the evening so I took more medication. I had the weirdest dream too... for some reason there were these drink mixes that tasted super good.. and I had a bunch of them.. but then I was hanging out with TheBloggess and her book .. (which is awesome btw) was being featured at Burger King (or some fast food joint) and it even included Bloggess toys .. such as Juanita , Hamlet Von Schnitzel , Beyonce , etc... I wish this existed cuz I totally want a stuffie Hamlet Von Schnitzel... someone has to make this happen. Anyhow... weird dreams aside, I woke up totally and after some caramel macchiato goodness via my Tassimo ... I started feeling a little better. FINALLY.. so I thought I’d fulfill my tag from socialassasin and answer some questi...

I totally fucking forgot to write about myself yesterday when I was given a blog award... (read about it here ). SO ... I'm supposed to talk about myself. well... shit. OK then... if I have to do this, you're coming along with me... no... don't try to run away now.. I've got you in my clutches. mwah ha ha ha ha ok so pay attention.. you'll be tested on it later (sidenote: my dad used to say that ALL the time when I was a kid and I just remembered.. what a pleasant memory.. I remember him always saying that about random things, but there was never any test.. I love my dad) Welllllllllllll.... I'm a chemistry student at the University of British Columbia but this is actually the first time I'm studying post secondary education in my home country.. .I've done all my other post secondary education in the US. I am TERRIFIED of bugs... like.. all kinds of bugs.. I may have even tried jumping out of a moving vehicle one time when a bug la...

so I'm sitting at work bored to tears (as usual) and thankfully brought a book to read. It's "The Snowman" by Jo Nesbo who is apparently "The Next Stieg Larsson" according to The Independant. It's not bad so far.. starting off a bit slow but I've heard good things so I'm going to stick it out. I don't know if any of you out in the blogsphere enjoy reading and if so you should check out library thing .. it's a great website to organize your book collection. You can put reviews, tags, recommendations, etc. They also have monthy early reviewers draws where you can request copies of books before they hit the shelves to review. It's heaven for a book whore like me.. I have about 150 in my personal collection and another 100 or so of my mums that I inherited. I love books.. for some reason I hate the library, I don't know why. Whenever I get a book from the library I never end up finishing it by the time I'm supposed to return it...
