Unwanted Sexual Advances

By Adam Snider | Published: January 23, 2012

I take the bus to work everyday during the fall and winter months. Depending on my work schedule, I take the bus at different times. Usually, I’m on the bus by around 8:10am. Occasionally, however, I am on the bus a bit later than that. On the later bus, there is a young man of [...]

Meatless Sandwiches

By Adam Snider | Published: January 20, 2012

As a part of my on-going quest to eat less meat, I have been trying to find some options for meatless sandwiches beyond PB&J. I’ve made a few vegetable sandwiches, but they rarely turn out well. I did make a good one last week: heavy on the sprouts, which added nice flavour and are dry [...]

To Live and Die in Edmonton

By Adam Snider | Published: January 18, 2012

I’m getting antsy. I’m getting an urge to move. I often get the urge to move away from Edmonton. I’ve never acted upon it, obviously, but it hits me from time to time. Maybe it’s the recent cold snap. Maybe I just want to be somewhere that isn’t here, right now. But, then, I find [...]

Sick day

By Adam Snider | Published: January 13, 2012

I’m only in the second week of my new, three-times-weekly publishing plan and I’ve already missed a day. To be fair, I was out sick on Wednesday. I didn’t go to work. I didn’t really do anything. I slept most of the day. I’m back in business, though. I’m hoping to put together my review [...]

Pimp My Uno

By Adam Snider | Published: January 9, 2012

Since Christmas, Sara and I have developed an unofficial habit of playing board games and/or card games on Sunday evenings. Cribbage is becoming our go-to game, but we’re also fond of Catan for Two. Recently, we played Uno. I’m sure you’ve played Uno. Most people have played it as kids and will remember it as [...]

Resolutions

By Adam Snider | Published: January 4, 2012

I’ve been thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Like many people, I make them every year. Like most people, I abandon them sometime in early to mid-February. Should we abandon the idea of New Year’s resolutions? Is the idea of trying to start new habits around a relatively arbitrary date worthwhile or does it feel forced [...]

Onward!

By Adam Snider | Published: January 2, 2012

Another year is upon us. Corks were popped. Noisemakers were blown. Kisses were exchanged. 2012 arrived. With the dawning of a new year, I am going to attempt to blog more frequently. I’m aiming for three posts a week. I’m planning a M-W-F publishing schedule, but I likely won’t hold myself to those specific days [...]

What I Got For Christmas

By Adam Snider | Published: December 28, 2011

I feel like it might be a bit crass to talk about what I got for Christmas in a public forum like this, but I got some cool stuff so I figured I’d share. While I am very happy with everything that I got for Christmas, two of my favourite items are the Kobo Touch [...]

Best Life Events of 2011

By Adam Snider | Published: December 22, 2011

The past year was not a great one for me. It was a tough slog. Lots of personal and family issues popped up over the course of the year that ultimately had me stressing out or downright depressed for much of the year. I won’t dwell on many of those things here, mostly because I [...]

Soft Launch

By Adam Snider | Published: December 16, 2011

Life has been hectic for the past few months. I was working, I was in school, and I even managed to sneak in a two-week trip to Newfoundland. I haven’t blogged much in that time. Partly, I have been enamoured with other webby things: Google+ and MetaFilter, mostly. And partly, I just haven’t felt the [...]
