Snow whine

What the hell is wrong with Vancouverites? It snowed a whopping 2.5 centimeters overnight and you are whining and complaining that you simply cannot make it into the office; what gives? If you just want to stay home and watch the Food Channel all day, then call in sick, don't use this dusting of snow as an excuse to sit around all day in your pj's and try to justify it to those of who actually made it in. The city buses are still running and I passed several Asian girls tottering around just fine in their 4 inch heels holding onto umbrellas. You people give Canadians a bad name!

The season of pain

Ouuuch! I am forever grateful for the veterans that have given their lives and their time in order for us to live as free and peacefully as we do here in Canada but I can't help but think of pain each and every time I see a veteran because of those damn poppy pins that the Legion hands out for Remembrance Day every year. Seriously people, I know that Veteran Affairs claims they're broke and all, but could you not think of a way to make these pins not stab me on a daily basis thus making me cry out and break into a Tourette's fit every single time I try to put on or take of my jacket? Ow!
