Thalia Land: November 2005
http://thalia-land.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 13, 2005. Last Wednesday night I headed to Vancouver for sushi dinner at the Eatery with Renee, who I haven't seen since June. It was nice to catch up. It took me 50 minutes to get to 16th and Arbutus from Marine and Pemberton in North Van, which was ridiculous. I am glad I live close to work - the commute would be a pain in the ass. Who doesn't like candysticks? Apparently they got ripped off on their liquor bill though - $6000 for 150 people? Todd had bought me some heat packs for my h...

Blackstock Bookworm: Doomsday Book
http://blackstockbookworm.blogspot.com/2009/03/doomsday-book.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2009. My latest book club selection is the Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. This one happens to be my selection, so I need to come up with some questions for our book club meeting in April. I can't remember how I came across this book: I was either surfing book club recommendation websites; or Chapters or Amazon recommended it based on my purchases. If you like history, and the science fiction genre, I highly recommend this book. March 17, 2009 at 3:44 PM. October 8, 2009 at 6:57 AM.

Blackstock Bookworm: The Art of Racing in the Rain
http://blackstockbookworm.blogspot.com/2010/04/art-of-racing-in-rain.html
Tuesday, April 20, 2010. The Art of Racing in the Rain. Can you love and book and hate it at the same time? My answer is yes. That book is Garth Stein's the Art of Racing in the Rain. I spent the entire first chapter balling, hating the author, for his description of Enzo the dog at the end of his days was exactly, to a tee, describing my last days with Mack. And it didn't help matters that the dog on the cover of the book is the spitting image of Mack. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Blackstock Bookworm: ...ipsos Custodes
http://blackstockbookworm.blogspot.com/2009/03/ipsos-custodes.html
Saturday, March 7, 2009. I have just finished reading Watchman. Just in time to catch a matinee showing tomorrow. I have always loved comics. A guilty pleasure of mine. I have always been more intrigued by the Marvel world, my favourites, the X-men, but even I will agree DC has created the more classic characters: Batman, Superman, my personal favourites: Catwoman. And the Joker. And even more significantly for me, DC penned the first graphic novel I have ever read: Watchmen. Was it the graphics? 24 hour...

Thalia Land: June 2006
http://thalia-land.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 12, 2006. I have had time to write in my blog, but haven't in ages, and now, that I am very busy, I am writing in it. Sometimes I wonder. We are in the middle of packing - or rather purging, since we are moving very soon. I have a tendency to never throw things away, and so over the years I have collected a lot of things I never even used. The Salvation Army will be getting a lot of stuff from me this week. I saw Siobhan's kittens on Friday and they were so cute! Or a dog first? Especially w...

Thalia Land: October 2005
http://thalia-land.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 24, 2005. Friday I went into Vancouver to have lunch with my dad, and then had to pick up my mom’s laptop so I got to see my cats for 1 minute (I miss them! We are not allowed to have pets here, which is very disappointing. That is the only disadvantage of living here. I cannot wait until we can get a dog or cat I even have names picked out! We had Sushi and then picked up a movie on the way back. We rented Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, which was cute. Posted by Thalia at 6:52 PM.

Thalia Land: September 2005
http://thalia-land.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 30, 2005. Well I opened up this space a little while ago, but couldn’t think of what to write! I have never kept a diary, so doing this seems foreign to me. The reason I decided to do this is that Siobhan and Tina sent me links to their blogs, and I checked them out they are fun to read! So, it just seemed like a fun thing to do. So what made me decide to finally write? I found an awesome Sushi place in North Van! Anyways here it is in case anyone wants to try it:. 1 onion, diced. 1 (28...
