Blame Canada: July 2005
http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 29, 2005. Getting things in perspective. I don't know about you, but having lived my entire life with family, food and a roof over my head, I find it hard to imagine how bad life could really be. Even when people are obviously hard up, like at the shelter, I find myself thinking: "Well, they're smiling and laughing, and they look okay. Things can't be. Answer: a lot of them freeze to death. I've been told "that's just the way it is." Why? So I found myself wondering what I could possibly hav...

Blame Canada: We Will Survive (Some Pre-Exam Encouragement by Suzie Chiodo)
http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2009/04/we-will-survive-some-pre-exam.html
Tuesday, April 07, 2009. We Will Survive (Some Pre-Exam Encouragement by Suzie Chiodo). At first I was afraid, I was so worried. Hadn't done all of the readings, had no summaries. But then I spent so many nights. Studying reams and reams of law. And now my head's spinning so bad. And I'm not worried any more. I'm gonna clerk, gonna get a place. If not, I'll swallow 15 beers and get completely off my face. Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with your sighs. With your annoying 'does not compute'.

Blame Canada: What global warming?
http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2007/04/what-global-warming.html
Friday, April 06, 2007. We're a week into April and it's snowing outside. Yes, really! Global warming obviously hasn't reached Canada yet. So much for spring. (This pic is of our front garden this morning). Posted by Suzie : 11:07 AM. Comments: Post a Comment. View my complete profile.

Blame Canada: September 2005
http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 18, 2005. Running's great for your quads, dude. My first official run! 10 kilometres, and I ran the whole thing (no walking whatsoever)! And, miraculously, I did it without gasping desperately for air (well, not too desperately), collapsing in the dust, or sinking to my knees and begging God to put me out of my misery. In fact, it all went surprisingly quickly. It was almost (but not quite) easy. Then just click on the following link:. Posted by Suzie : 4:46 PM 2 comments. All you have ...

Blame Canada: June 2005
http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 30, 2005. On the road again. Well, I'm back in England (again). And having a completely excellent time (again! How come places are so much more fun when you're just visiting them? I guess because you don't have time to get bored and you don't have any responsibility. Now if I could just find a job that involves flitting from one country to another.but then there is something to be said for home, and I guess I have to grow up at some stage (boo). We also did all the stuff we usually do at D...

Blame Canada: Getting there (slowly)
http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2007/04/getting-there-slowly.html
Friday, April 06, 2007. Our house renovation is finally getting somewhere! Just a few weeks ago, Joe and I were eating dinner like this:. And now our kitchen is finished! Take a look at our incredibly posh living room too! One more angle, because it looks so good:. We've still got the basement, the garage and the garden left to do, but that's most of the inside work done. I'm looking forward to working without the smell of varnish and the sound of nail guns : ). Posted by Suzie : 11:14 AM.

Blame Canada: April 2005
http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 26, 2005. I've finally decided that Canadians, contrary to what I first thought, do appreciate my sense of humour. They just laugh at different stuff. Like my tendency to put on different voices when I'm making fun of myself or other people. We made friends the other day with a couple who'd visited England, and we bonded over jokes about Chavs. My Chav impression goes something like this:. So I said to Trice, ahm not ‘avin it, y’know wha’ I mean? But this was actually a really good bash.

Blame Canada: Mashing your toes on sharp objects and other handy household hints
http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2007/03/mashing-your-toes-on-sharp-objects-and.html
Friday, March 16, 2007. Mashing your toes on sharp objects and other handy household hints. Sigh* So we've been having the house and garden renovated for a year now, and I feel like it's finally time to vent. I came home from England at the beginning of February to find our kitchen missing. It still is. I've been living on cereal and restaurant food for the past 6 weeks. I'm not sure how many more bowls of muesli I can take! A few more weeks of this and I'll be qualified to join Cirque du Soleil.

Blame Canada: October 2005
http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 20, 2005. I'd always heard that Canadian dentists were the best in the world, but today I had that rumour confirmed. Not only are they thorough (I sat in the chair for almost two hours, so they must have been doing. In my mouth that whole time), but they're friendly, they make conversation with you, and they don't treat you like the Antichrist because you can't remember the last time you flossed. And if you've grown up in Britain, the details are probably pretty gory. Okay, there is a s...

http://candocanada.blogspot.com/2008/05/you-know-youve-watched-too-much.html
Sunday, May 04, 2008. You know you've watched too much Battlestar Galactica when. 1 You stub your toe and yell 'Frack! 2 You don't automatically think of coffee when someone mentions Starbucks. 3 You develop a crisp English accent a la Gaius Baltar (uh-oh.). 4 You cut the corners off all your stationery. And your books. 5 You see your friend's identical twin and suspect her of being a Cylon. 6 You hear voices in your head and think it's Number Six. 7 You start up a cult dedicated to the Lords of Kobol.
