Freaking Out Over The Kingston Bug
If you’re on my MSN, Plurk or Facebook accounts, you might have noticing me freaking out over something called the Kingston Bug a couple of days ago.
So for the curious, here is a link to the Kingston Bug. Fair warning: the image is pretty gross. So don’t click that if you’re squeamish about bugs. (Heck, [...]
If I Had More Underwear….
I wouldn’t have to do the laundry so often.
It’s simple. Now that winter is rapidly approaching (lows hit 0 degrees almost everyday), the only clothes I change daily are my boxers. Everything else is pretty much recyclable for at least two days, depending how many layers I choose to wear out.
So, like clockwork, every Sunday [...]
A Quiet - But Interesting - Afternoon
It’s 5:13 in the afternoon right now. I’m in the library with Tim Hortons and arguably I’m simultaneously surrounded, engulfed and swimming in an orgy of media: Music through my earphones, a textbook on mass communications, and the internet running.
My attention consistently switching between an amazing line of lyrics (”Why are there so many songs [...]
Kingston: Sunday Morning Pancake Flipping Lessons
Last Sunday, after the madness that was homecoming, Jason felt the urge to wake up early and make pancakes, so the household was up by 1020am and in the kitchen.
The running joke is that Eugene (in white) is the “Cook” and Jason is the “intern”, so this video is of the Cook giving the intern [...]
Queen’s University: The Mad Street Party That Is Homecoming Weekend

I Give In; I’ll Watch The New 90210
So on principle I decided I wasn’t going to be remotely interested or watch the new 90210 no matter what i read or heard about it because I’ve indulged enough in guilty pleasures over the years (The O.C and Gossip Girl anyone?).
But yesterday in the much-awesome Media & Pop Culture class, the opening clip of [...]
Media & Popular Culture: My Favourite Class Of All Time
I’m making that terribly premature announcement, but I don’t think I’m going to be wrong. After lamenting that the courses here are SMU-esque, I get into my 6:30pm FILM240 class and receive the course outline: 95% exams, 5% participation. Say what? I haven’t had an exam worth more than 40% since.. ever!
The class (taught by [...]
Can I Never Escape The SMU-type School?
If it’s not readily apparent by all the blog posts, pictures and videos I’ve been sharing, I love Queen’s and I love Kingston. But like Terence, Queen’s is turning out to be uncannily like SMU! From the class participation to the almost-weekly deadlines to the group work to people studying in the library from the [...]
