BicuriousShoes commented on the post, This OT is on Vacation! 11 months ago

Hi everyone! If you’re up to it, I’d like to know your opinions on a money issue. Just this once, it’s not about making money or saving money, but about spending (an admittedly small amout of money) in the […]

Ha, I wanted to be a smartass and reply with a link to the “Packing” tag on UFYH, but it turns out THERE ISN’T ONE! Well played, PoM, well played…

In reply to: BicuriousShoes posted an update in the group Canadian Persephoneers Hi everyone! I’m sorry to hijack the conversation, I’m not a Canadian Persephoneer but I will be spending a month in Canada this summer for work […] View

Thanks for the advice! I looked a bit into that but they seem to be for people taking summer courses only… I’ll look deeper into it, since several people have suggested this option.

I LOVE Canada and I can’t wait to go back!

Thank you! Yes, “dodgy” is the word, that’s why it’s so frustrating! I’ll have a look at kijiji and see what I can find.

It’s funny because it’s TRUE! Fear of being murdered in sleep is the no.1 cause of stress among traveling researchers.

Thank you so much! I wasn’t even considering kijiji because where I come from it’s the last place you would ever look, good to know it’s big in Canada, I’ll have a look! I have been looking into university […]

Hi everyone! I have posted this in the Canadian Persephoneers group but OTs get more traffic so here it is again:

I will be spending a month in Canada this summer for work (research) and I thought maybe someone […]
BicuriousShoes posted an update in the group Canadian Persephoneers 1 year ago

Hi everyone! I’m sorry to hijack the conversation, I’m not a Canadian Persephoneer but I will be spending a month in Canada this summer for work (research) and I thought maybe someone in this group knows somebody who knows somebody who would be willing to rent me a room in their home without, you know, murdering me in my sleep? I will be…[Read more]

  Have you looked at residence halls at the unis in either city? Those are usually really cheap to rent out in the summer. My westerly friends are all in Edmonton, so I’m sorry I can’t help there!
  
  I hope you enjoy Canada!

BicuriousShoes commented on the post, This OT Has a Badass Choreographed Dance Sequence 1 year, 2 months ago

Hello, Open Thread! I miss you guys so much since I stopped being a chronic procrastinator whose whole semester is basically one huge all-nighter filled with dread and anxiety night owl! Today I stayed up […]

I just ate a 3-am spicy chorizo sandwich, so I approve of night pizza. I may also not be the best person to poll on this issue.

I agree with PoM, you can totally do this! And remember that rest and sleep are a very important part of the revision process. Right now it may seem like you don’t know anything, but if you get some sleep, in the […]

Hahaha… “God gave a Bill of Rights!?”

Sad part is, the song is pretty good, and they seem to be really talented. I wonder how old they are and to what extent they understand the hatred they are promoting […]
BicuriousShoes posted an update in the group FoodPorn 1 year, 2 months ago

I just joined the group (don’t know what took me so long!) to share this super-easy, super-addictive cheese spread recipe with you all. My mom calls it “cheese pâté” and serves it as a starter on special occasions, but “pâté” sounds way too fancy for something I spread on toast for breakfast or spoon straight out of the jar for a…[Read more]

  This sounds fantastic. Thanks! I wonder if my immersion blender will be up to the task…

BicuriousShoes commented on the post, That’s What This Open Thread Is For 1 year, 2 months ago

Hi! Well, like you, I’ve been sitting in front of my computer for a while now, finishing an overdue project (at the moment it’s eight hours late, I’m hoping they won’t be too strict!) I’m quite happy about things […]
BicuriousShoes commented on the post, That’s What This Open Thread Is For 1 year, 2 months ago

On the one hand, I’m not proud of relapsing to my allnighter-pulling ways. On the other hand… YAY getting to say hi in the open thread before the conversation dies! HI, OPEN THREAD! I’ve been away for a while, […]
BicuriousShoes commented on the post, Persephone Lounge is Open for Business: OT for 2/16 1 year, 3 months ago

Chatty guy hanging out in hotel lobby just asked me where I’m from, then came back with “ohhh, yes, you DO sound Spanish”. For the last time: it is not a compliment to tell Spanish people that they sound Spanish! […]
