I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible. I keep these entries from the years of my life - no matter how i feel about them today - available because i find it useful to revisit events i now interpret differently. My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984.

Restaurant Reviewing Mania

The recent discovery of Yelp has fueled my already over-enthusiastic devotion to foodie chronicles. There is a reason that my religious belief on facebook is “Bacchanalianism.”
This week-end was a good one even IF i developed a shin splint and was unable to get in any quality time with the treadmill. After moping around all Saturday [...]

Old News

Yesterday on the drive in i thought there was something interesting news on the radio, but i never got around to blogging about it - so here i am rehashing old news…
But first - I PASSED THE LATIN EXAM! I also pulled my mother’s back jumping on her for joy, knocked over a garbage can [...]

Over Food? NYC to the rescue (i hope)

Last night i got home from the gym at 7:45pm. I still had to clean out the car, pack my bag, change the cedar in the guinea pig’s cage and take a shower/shave - i had to FORCE myself to eat. I sat there, playing with my Campbell’s Chunky Soup and realized that i honestly [...]
