Ankle Surgery Update
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on July 8th, 2003
My ankle operation went well. From what I could piece together through my anaesthetic fog, my doctor managed to remove my bone chip and clean the ankle joint with the scope, so no major cutting or sawing was required. The current outlook is 10 more days on crutches, then a week of light walking and Read the full article…
Close Call

Almost got killed tonight. Crossed Homer street after having a couple beers at Subeez with my roommate and his cousin (who is moving into my room when I leave), and mere seconds after we reached the opposite curb, a Jetta travelling with the light t-boned an old Corolla running the red, right into the crosswalk Read the full article…
Google Mysteries

I was doing some maintenance on the site today, and noticed that some people have been linked to my site by searching google for “how to seduce girlfriend,” and “how to install washer dryer.” Out of curiosity, I did a quick lookup on those two phrases, and found that I’ve managed to capture the number Read the full article…

Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on July 1st, 2003
Tomorrow I go in for ankle surgery. I’m not nervous, which is making me nervous. Instead, I’m focusing on the Canada Day party I’m going to shortly. I’ve even put on the temporary tattoos of the flag that my mother gave me. Here’s hoping everyone has as much fun as I intend to this evening, Read the full article…
VanCity is my second favourite Credit Union
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 12th, 2003
I found two ATMs about the same distance from my apartment as the evil, evil, stinky-pants Bank of Montreal. After a short walk, I determined that the supposed location of the first ATM is a large open construction pit, and the other, if it exists at all, is somewhere in the Telus office tower behind a plexiglassed security counter where burly men check your ID badge.
Now I Hate The Bank of Montreal, Too
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 11th, 2003
Today I went to withdraw some cash from the Bank of Montreal near my apartment. In a society gone mad with “convenience fees,” this was the only bank in town that I knew of that still allowed me the privilege of getting my money for free.
But not today…
Surprise Wedding? Just Say No

Just finished watching Surprise Wedding (link no longer available), another intelligent piece of programming from the geniuses at Fox. Five women tricked their boyfriends into coming to Las Vegas for a “vacation,” at which point they proposed on national TV. The guys got two hours to think about it, then one 30 second “lifeline” phone Read the full article…
So Much for McEnroe
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 8th, 2003
It’s been sunny all weekend and I’ve been cooped up working like a dog all weekend, so I went out and played some tennis with my friend Jason. I used to be a good tennis player. I got my ass handed to me: 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5. That’s right, 6 sets to 0. Read the full article…
