So today my cat and a squirrel in the backyard decided to have a showdown this morning. Zorro jumped onto the squirrel and the squirrel BIT HIM. And then ran away.  It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Unfortunatly I think my cat took out his rage on the rodents by getting a chipmunk in his mouth and trying to kill it.  Thank goodness my mom yelled at him to put it down and the chippy escaped to safety.  Circle of life much? Or is momma just a savior to the rodents of my backyard? Who ...

For those of you who like vampires but thought the Twilight Saga was too sparkly and lovey-dovey... I have a series for you! Most of you vamp lovers out there probably already know about Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels, aka The Southern Vampire Mysteries. The first one is called Dead Until Dark.
They are the books that inspires the HBO series TrueBlood. 
I LOVE these books, and the show! I have all the books except for the most recent one (waiting for it to come out in paperback), an...

I saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D on friday night with some friends... we ended up getting stuck in the first row. So I did like the movie, but I think I'm going to have to see it again because I didn't really get to absorb the awesome special effects.  Plus I got a neck ache and felt sick about half way through as a result of my viewing angle.  It was still really good! I liked Tim Burton's spin on it and it was nothing like the origional... more like a sequel. But I'm not giving anything away...

I recently decided that to get fit and have a great time doing it, I would start rollerskating. It was fun as a kid, and I really think it will still be fun. There used to be a roller rink in Cambridge (where I live) called The Forum. But then it closed down and turned into a discount store. :( 
So I decided to look online for some roller skates. Not rollerblades! I'm talking the old school quad skates they use in roller derby. I found two sites: www.rollergirl.ca and www.rollerbug.com. (both ...

My cat Zorro is so weird. I've had a few cats in my lifetime but he is something else. It's like he's the cat version of Marley from the movie Marley & Me. Worst Cat Ever, but I love him like he's my child. He is my child. Here's just a few things he does that earn him this title.
The Drooling
My cat drools. Yes. In the morning at the first sign of life from anyone in the house, he hops up into their bed and demands to be petted while drooling everywhere. It's pretty gross. And it drips everywh...

 I am slightly concerned about my wardrobe. I have an abundance of clothing, that's not the big issue right now. It's that I recently saw a video on youtube about how graphic t shirts are socially awkward. I don't war them everyday... just maybe once or twice a week. My favourite graphic T's include an AC/DC shirt, a Panic! at the Disco Shirt, I Heart NY, a few Transformers shirts, and a weird shirt with hand prints over my... ta tas. But I don't wear that one to school anymore. Well, occasio...

 Vancouver 2010 Olympics, I don't know what to say.
 I was so excited that we were hosting the games. After the weird opening ceremonies (Didn't really understand the boy on wires flying through the air over "wheat") I was still excited.
After we won our first gold, I was jumping for joy.
When the women's hockey team slaughtered Slovakia, I was giddy.
When we only got silver in snowboard-cross, I was miffed but still happy that we placed.
I went out and bought my red mittens the day the olympics s...

This young couple got married in an Apple store in New York. Apparently they met there and love Apple products. They couldn't think of anywhere better to say the vows! Check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LQNNv7MFLE

Recently I decided I spend a ridiculous amount of money at Starbucks. And I almost always get the same thing: A Chai Tea Latte. This runs me up at $4.75-ish. I decicded to see if I could re-create the coveted Starbucks Chai Tea Latte at home.
I went to Zerhs and purchased some Chai tea bags for about $4. I've tried two teabags - Lipton and Tetly. I did like the Lipton better, but for a bigger cup I ended up using two bags instead of one. Then I needed a milk frother. You can go all out and buy...
