I probably couldn't give a more boring white English answer if I tried, but my grandmother's (and now my mother's) roast beef and Yorkshire puddings.

Pure fucking willpower.

And now I just got a call from the doctor, and I get to visit the nuclear medicine people on Monday. I guess it's just an assessment and I don't have to swallow anything radioactive yet, but that's good still, that's faster than I expected.

The company I work for received another complaint from a customer about a translation I did, they insisted that I translated two things wrong.

The "indie" station in Toronto was playing Paper Planes once recently, and the DJ then complained that it wasn't as good as Straight to Hell. But…this is the indie station! The people from the old "alternative" station made a whole new station so they could play whatever they wanted. And now they already can't play…

We've got the parade route down Yonge Street all planned and ready to go.

Three Kings is always watchable.

He is the worst Dax symbiont.

Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Stupid! You so stupid!

One of my academic mentors seems to have died…although only Wikipedia says so, so maybe not.

In Canadian university football, my undergrad school, Western Ontario, has a typically powerhouse team and won their game this week 75-14. My grad school, Toronto, is laughably bad, and lost 65-7, and I'm surprised they even managed to score 7 points.

I used to shit at work, or even just pretend to shit at work, because it was a nice break from having to be around other people.

Something to do with a black, a Chinese, and a pregnant.

I'm not sure! Robert Huygens is Dutch but I don't know if he's from that Huygens family or not.

Well, it's been two weeks now, and I'm still now allowed to do much…I can't drive, I can't lift anything. My neck is still stiff and I can barely move it, and some of it I still can't even feel at all. It feels like someone has their hands around my throat constantly. We went for a walk around the neighbourhood the…

I ordered some books with an Amazon gift card and one of them just arrived literally right this second. Let's see what it is!

My neck is healing well, and apparently I won't be dependent on prescription calcium forever - basically I have to take more calcium because that's one of the things your thyroid produces, but I can just take Tums! There was a mixup with how strong my synthroid prescription should be, but they fixed that and I think…
