2008 was an awesome year professionally (or as professional as you can get as a student), but I’m not sure the same can be said of my personal life.
The first six months were pretty crappy. Between trying to keep a club on its feet despite some members who were an absolute chore to manage, dealing [...]

Since coming to Kingston, Amazon has consistently impressed me, leading to increased purchases from them.
Whaddya think? Did I overdo it?
I think I may just miss Amazon most of all when I go home.

It’s been a couple of days out of Kingston and I’m always so aware of how much noise and people there are in big cities like New York compared to the small town of Kingston. I really miss that.
But I also miss my friends.
It’s not like friends haven’t changed over time. Friends in primary school [...]

My housemates and I haven’t left the house almost all weekend except for exams thanks to two nights of snow that have left most of Kingston white:
These pictures were taken closest to the kitchen so I think some snow might have fallen on the roof instead, the amount of snow on the backyard and the [...]

When I walked to school this morning, it was the usual weather. A little wet, a little chilly, then somewhere around 1:30 in the afternoon, I saw my friend’s MSN nicks updating with various references to snow! It’s 10pm now and the snow is still going on strong!
Here’s a video I took tonight! I’ll try [...]

So first of all, let me say that we (Irini, Leah and myself) didn’t intend to watch this movie. We intended to watch “Burn After Reading”, but because our little cinema here in Kingston is so small, the movies change really fast. So they had five new movies starting today, so apparently “Burn After Reading” [...]

[edit: Videos of the full performance and all the songs are up here!]
I think I’ll be doing a proper review for Jon over on his blog, but I’ll tell you about my “adventures”.
So the concert was at Massey Hall in Toronto (which took me 2 and a half hours to get there by train) and [...]
