On Canada Day (which already seems like eons ago), I visited Prince’s Island Park for a little outdoor fun. Being a terrible researcher, I just generally drifted aimlessly and stopped at attractions which seemed relatively interesting. In the midst of my wandering, I heard music float over the crowd. The lead voice was soulful and…
You know how people tell you never to wear sandals with socks? It seems so obvious not to – it’s not classy, not attractive, and can’t even be considered sensible. Well, you know what? I’ve done it in public. It was comfortable, okay? I mean, the sandals kept chafing my foot… Okay, maybe I lied…
Clint Eastwood has been sticking his hand into the beehive of politics – and the bees are stinging him for it. For a little over eleven minutes, the famous actor bantered with a chair. Well, a chair occupied by the invisible Obama. Mr.Eastwood’s received quite a bit of criticism for his unforgettably odd speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=933hKyKNPFQ…
While all my friends are hanging out at Stampede, and having fun in the great outdoors, I’m at home, glued to the computer. All alone, without any contact from the outside world… really, it’s not as bad as it seems. I have the internet. My life would be nothing without the internet. So, what do…
My friends and I were going to Chinook Centre. We, being fat, lazy, and drunk off summer, decided that we were going to watch a movie instead of actually exploring the rest of the mall. Since we’re all highly mature individuals, we chose to watch Madagascar 3. Like a boss. I really loved it. Well,…
After five and a half months, I have arisen from the grave. Five and a half months of not doing a single post. I feel like a horrible person.
I AM a horrible person.
Of course, I could blame it on the stress of exams, and the inability to keep up with homework.
It’s really quite a mystery… for the continent that reaches an astonishing freezing temperature of −89.2 °C, how are liquid lakes still present on Antartica? The answer, surprisingly, is quite simple – the lake is underground. Below the icy glaciers of the massive White Continent lie around 300 sub-glacial lakes. Due to geothermal heat and pressure,…
Heart-shaped pizza. It exists. It is just as delicious as any other shaped pizza. But somehow…it’s just so much more romantic. And with all this filthy “love” in the air, one can’t help but wish for silly romantic things such as a heart-shaped pizza.
Girls, we’ve all been there: browsing shelves of books on the library, and coming to a stop before the horribly clique and facepalm-worthy section of teenage romance novels. For girls with no taste for feminity or “girliness,” like yours truly, such a genre should not be allowed to exist. This is immature, but all I…
The global population has hit 7 billion. Have you wondered what the most average person on Earth looks like? If he or she looks anything like you, or lives a similar life? Sadly, the average human being probably doesn’t live like the general population here in North America. In fact, if you are reading this…
For Western countries, it may seem strange to celebrate the New Year weeks after January 1st. For Chinese people, it’s a wonderful, joyous time, in which friends and family finally spend time together after a year’s hard work. The Lunar New Year represents a time to celebrate life, happiness, and wealth. There’s a story that…
Really? I can’t flush my toilet after 10 p.m. in Switzerland? The world has some crazy laws… In New York, jumping off a building gets the death penalty. (…will one survive jumping off a building?) In France, it is illegal to sell dolls without human faces. Bye-bye E.T! In North Carolina, elephants cannot plow cotton…
Ever hear the term “cool as a cucumber”? That came to be because cucumbers in the field stay around 20 degrees Celsius cooler than the surrounding air. Even the people of the 1800s knew how snazzy cucumbers were – they didn’t need any science report to prove it! Here are some more tasty aphorisms: A…
I’m a night owl. I have always been this way – not sleeping until late at night, and regretting it in the morning when I have to go to school. When Winter Break came, my sleeping habits became worse than ever: late night television until 3 a.m. and never being able to wake up for…
Well, the actual term is “Banana Gassing”. Why does a banana stay bright and firm in the supermarkets, but quickly becomes covered in brown spots in your living room? They’re gassed. By a professional! Bananas are shipped from foreign countries unripe and green to prevent bruising. During the shipping process, bananas must be refrigerated at…
