I have finally made some kind of formatting decision regarding this, the very reason for my blog, the Canadian to English (British) Dictionary! This is a culmination of all the words I’ve learnt while living in England; some I’ve heard before and some that are completely new to me. Just when I think I’ve heard all the crazy slang England’s got to offer, something else … Continue reading Canadian to English Dictionary: The Post!
It was only a matter of time before I made a video pitting my accent against the boys’ accents. This is that video. The whole video has kind of a hyper quality to it. Sorry about that. I was still riding my “I got a new job” high. Oh, PS, I got a new job! Well, an additional job. Yay! Continue reading The Great Accent Debate
Video 25! Warning, this video is long. It’s almost 7 minutes. If you wish to watch this video, you may need to clear time in your schedule. I am sorry to inconvenience those of you who lead very busy lives. If you cannot manage these 7 minutes all at once, may I suggest two sections of 3 and a half minutes, or three sections of … Continue reading British TV for £500, please!
Day 21! Today is indeed day 21, but the subject of today’s video is mostly from Night 20, with the exception of a bit from this morning. My friend Selina and I took the train to Wakefield yesterday, a small town about 30 minutes away from York, because my Canadian friend Sean was performing there with his dance company, Rhythm of the Dance! I recorded … Continue reading What Up, Wakefield?
Warning: This video might make you hungry. Today is day 5 of the April video challenge. I started the video by thinking I had nothing to talk about but I ended up with the longest video so far. But, as you watch it, you will realise that I in fact had very little to talk about. Sorry but bless you for watching anyway 🙂 Continue reading Mmm, Meat Flavour
Day 3, video 3. Today’s video is basically just a shout out to my family who are all gathered at my Grandma’s house in Thornbury right now. Well, maybe not all right now. It’s still pretty early in the afternoon in Canada so Katie, Tony, and Is will probably be arriving in the next few hours. But, once they get there, everyone will be gathered … Continue reading Happy Easter
I am constantly being surprised by the new things I learn (about England, and just about life in general) every day. I see new things on the street, on TV, and from my friends. And trips to the grocery store are no exception. Recently, I completed an online shop with a few of my housemates. The concept is simple (and not one of the new … Continue reading My Massive Meal
I had another dream. This one was action packed. And it took place in Barrie, of all places. If you went to high school with me, hopefully you can perfectly visualize parts of this dream the way I did. If you didn’t go to Barrie Central Collegiate (Institute, if we’re being very official), let me try to describe it for you. From the back, the … Continue reading To Sleep; Perchance To Dream
Travel down the road and back again. Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant. Today I miss Canada, and I especially miss my friends. You are my best friend, and even though I can’t come over and eat ice cream and cheese, we can still share pictures, and laughs, and worries, and tears! BLOB! Continue reading Thank You for Being a Friend
Our fearful trip is done! January 22nd, 2010, was a sad day for television. It marked the first time in 16 years that Conan O’Brien would not be gracing the screens of late night television. Sadder still was that I was in England and unable to watch him on TV for his final weeks. By some miracle the NBC website actually allowed international access to … Continue reading O Conan, My Conan…
