Last days
It’s my last day at the station. I’m going to miss the people and I’m going to miss news. I won’t miss working at 6:30 in the morning or working 14 days in a row. I will miss (some of) the people.
And I got cake and pizza!

Things I hate
I hate it when people tell me I’m too young to get married. For the most part, the people who tell me this are older than me and unmarried.
Thanks, but I’ll have my life and you can have yours.
“The choice seems an audacious, perhaps slightly desperate, effort to bring youth...”

Chocolate Helps You Live Longer
Research proves that candy eaters live almost a year longer than those who abstain.

Dear Sabine,
Are you okay? Did the earthquake shake you?

Dear Emily,
I slept through it and didn’t know it happened until I turned on the news this morning.
And all the things on my shelves are still in place.
I’m okay. Thanks for asking.
xoxo

European jobs
joshdevins:
So I’ve started looking around for jobs in Europe (namely Germany and Luxembourg) and I had a phone call with a UK recruiter just now. He’s filling a position for a large international company (whose name I apparently can’t reveal). The job is in Hanover, smack dab in the middle between Koln and Berlin. It looks like sweet schnitz. The work isn’t necessarily too compelling (AJAX,...

For all you single pirates out there, the Pirate’s Passions is the way for you to find that special someone to plunder villages with. So romantic.
Don't just save your money...
Find your money.
In Canada, there is about $294 million sitting in 845,000 accounts. Sure, 95 per cent of these are under $500 but that’s still money found.
When an account has been inactive for 10 years, the funds get transferred in trust to the Bank of Canada. There, accounts under $1,000 are held for 40 years and those for more than $1,000 for 100 years.
Some businesses are getting...

Twizzlers
Eating twizzlers makes me very nostalgic for the days when I was a kid and I would use a twizzler straw to drink my milk. Then I would eat the twizzler. It sounds disgusting, I know. I won’t do it because I’m at work and I’m new here.

LONDON 2010! Then we can meet “on the continent” and be Eurobuddies and I KNOW you’re going to want to go to THIS with me.
Real online image searching →
(via joshdevins)
Forget a Google Images text based search, TinEye has a real image search. Upload a photo or point it at a URL of a photo and TinEye will find matching or similar photos based on the photo itself! Why didn’t I think of this? If you can find a photo of the Mona Lisa photoshopped with Mr. Bean into it using a snapshot of the Mona Lisa, this thing wins in my books. Watch the demo and...
First days
It’s my first day today at my new job. This one starts later than the last one, and I’m still on EST, so, I was up earlier than I need to be and now I’m ready earlier than I need to be and anxiously watching the clock. I don’t want to be there too early and I certainly don’t want to be late. I’ve also been evaluating my transit options for getting there and...
WatchVideo from Buskerfest. This is the last I’ll post for the day. Promise.
“Hey fatty! Saw some cows today and thought of you. Wanted to see if you’re still...”

Mission accomplished:
Two weddings, two days, two cities a five-hour plane ride apart.
I’m gonna take it easy today.

Still in Toronto. The weather has been lovely though I think what we expect from Toronto (hot/humid/muggy) is going to return today, just in time for Laura’s wedding.
Tomorrow we hop on a plane at 10 a.m. to return to the West Coast by noon with just enough time to get ready for our friend’s wedding in Vancouver.
That’s right: 48 hours. Two weddings. Two cities.
GONG.

Yesterday's horoscope
Anyone who dares to question your methords or cast doubt on your achievements had better move quick, because you are in no mood to suffer critics or fools. If you don’t get the appreciation you desserve where you are by all means go somewhere else.
It’s weird when your horoscope is shockingly accurate. This is fast becoming the reason why I’m glad I left my last job and has...
