I love the insanely specific stats that the hockey announcers bring out during the playoffs. "Martone, the youngest rookie to score two playoff goals while the moon is in waning gibbous phase since 1976, just outstanding."

Intimidated by a gaggle of grade 8 girls watching the boys' volleyball game

Our Outlook at work has introduced predictive text, ok, fine. Twice in recent days I've gone to sign off on an email with "Wishing you a great... (one was weekend, the other was week)" and both times it suggested "Thanksgiving".

You know, in April.

This one was at Giant Tiger and he honestly just couldn't believe the deals

A small parrot/lovebird situation. It definitely gave Late Great Aunt Mildred vibes.

Got my VW Golf stuck in some mud in Rusagonis and saw a guy at Giant Tiger in Oromocto with a pet bird on his shoulder, so, really, same old, same old. How about you, how was your weekend?

Ray's office 5 à 7:

We are in Vancouver that weekend so will sadly have to miss it

Ok I take back my previous comments about Halifax Music Festival - Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eat World, Silversun Pickups, and Weezer is an excellent lineup for the non-country day

Also my man Ryan Gosling in a fair isle sweater 👌

We just saw Project Hail Mary. It was so good. Rocky 😭😭😭

Oh we DEMOLISHED two dozen Krispy Kremes this week lol

A kid with cadets came by a few weeks ago and was selling Krispy Kreme donuts. Those guys are welcome anytime.

Maybe more public-health-coded but I can't see a kid bike without a helmet without say "that kid should be wearing a helmet"

Wear goddamn helmets, you idiots!

Eating Fruit Roll-Ups at work again

They absolutely know which demographics they're targeting with that ad and it is 100% money well spent

They just put out an ad featuring Hudson Williams of Heated Rivalry fame

Guess I have to get a Peloton now

Was it the cheese one? I have that one and it's my pride and joy

I'm not an Arsenal fan but Google thinks I am so it keeps feeding me push notifications for Arseblog and it always makes me giggle

We are not a volleyball family but the teen is somehow on his school varsity team. Can anyone explain why the warmups before a game are so convoluted?

Watching this conversation unfold from my property west of the headpond:

Maybe just like, file an RTI? Becoming mayor seems like a lot of work

2026 me meeting 2006 me:
26: ok so get this, Donald Trump is the President of the US
06: that's wild
26: for a SECOND TERM
06: wow ok, what the hell
26: and the pope is from CHICAGO!
06: ok what the hell is happening
26: and Trump and the Pope are like, fighting?
06: well, ok this I believe

Wow that John Reid interview is... something. Kudos to the CBC for the professionalism.

Update: my employee was the one who took it

Pardon my blatant consumerism but I really miss Trader Joe's

😞

In beef stew updates, I had brought some to work for lunch but didn't get around to eating it and someone STOLE IT??
