The Olympics have been over for a little two weeks (already?!?!?) but there is one thing that shocked me so much that I just had to blog about. For most sports, I only tend to follow the results in the morning paper. However, not when it comes to track and field. It might have something… Read More Luck doesn’t have a lot to do with it
In response to Steve Maich’s article in the May 5th issue of Maclean’s magazine titled “It’s official: money buys happiness”. Many of my close friends would be shocked if I told them I do believe that money and happiness are linked. It seems that they, like many others, have a hard time admitting to this… Read More Money & happiness: the search for the confounding factor
I was recently faced with quite an interesting ethical dilemma. My friend is a RA (research assistant) at a local, world-renown university. The professor she works for is brilliant and very sweet. While this means that his research is published quite often, it also means that many walk all over him (let’s call him The… Read More Perpetuating injustice (or trying to be nice)
While ideas for blog entries have been filling up my notepad, I haven’t had much luck when it comes to actually putting down these ideas on paper. This doesn’t seem to be a problem for Scott Feschuk, since he has come up with many great columns lately. I found one from a couple of months… Read More Maybe this should be the I love Scott Feschuk blog…

The body’s overpowering need to sleep during the night hours could be countered with massive doses of caffeine and humor. I used both – extensively. My eyes… Read More RN Holmes
A fellow WordPress member posted an article about how an email saved the life of a Floria toddler. The story is quite amazing, and begs the question: should forwards be taken seriously or not?
What do you do when you have become what you loathe most, doing things you never would have imagined yourself doing? You spend years looking down at such behaviour, thinking that you would never stoop to such a level, that you’d never fail your high moral standards, that you’d never reach the depths of depravity… Read More The Other Woman
I couldn’t help myself; there is another Scott Feschuk gem that I had to share with you. Those of you whose memories of the last winter haven’t yet melted away in the gorgeous sun of the last couple of weeks will enjoy every moment of this column. The original can be found here. I took… Read More Another Scott Feschuk gem
I have to admit that one of the first things that I check when I get my weekly Maclean’s is Scott Feschuk’s column. He often hits the nail on the head with a humor that I just can’t get enough of. One of his latest gems is a column titles: “Welcome aboard! To continue, please… Read More From Scott Feschuk: “Welcome aboard! To continue, please deposit 1$”
Sometimes I wonder just how much the X-files have influenced me. As stated previously, I am quite the fan (to the point of going to the first showing on the first day the movie X-files: I want to believe was released). I sometimes search the internet for sites about UFOs and extra-terrestrials, and can’t help… Read More I want to believe
