Yeah, I was about to say, isn't "murder hornet" just the long-form verson of "hornets"?

Well, latest blood tests are in for my darling wife (and by latest, I mean this morning): All the cancer markers are now in the normal range. The big one, that was at 750 (normal range is 0-31.4) a year ago and at 50 back in May is down to 31 now. Shit's working, yo.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this, Nick. Cancer is... yeah. Fuck cancer. :(

Bone scintigraphy results get! All is stable, no activity. They can't tell if some metastases have shrunk or gone away because that'll always leave a scar on the bone and that particular scan can't tell the difference between the two. But whatever's there, it ain't doing shit. :):)

Well, can I just say that my birthday this year has been WAY better than last year's? Maryse got me/us tickets to see the Adams Family musical in Montreal in November and the Newleaf expansion for Everdell, and my in-laws got me a $100 gift card for L'As des jeux, our friendly local board gam...

You can do this, Zappit. Kick that disease right in its stupid face.

Just came back from the new Little Mermaid with a pair of our nieces. It was all right. Both Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast were much better (Lion King was on par with Mermaid, all right and that's it). My main issue with it is that it's just too long, at 135 minutes. There's not enough story...

Over here in my neck of the woods (the Outaouais region in Quebec, mercifully spared by the fires), the day before yesterday looked like New York in the last page. Yesterday was visually MUCH better, just really cloudy, but paradoxically, the air quality was INSANELY worse, with an air quality...

My heart bleeds for you. I'm so sorry. But don't worry, she's got lots of friends she can run around with forever now. I know Lucky will show her around and introduce her to everybody.

Been there, yeah. We had to put our beloved Lucky to sleep at the end of 2020. It's the hardest, most heart-wrenching thing I've ever had to do,but there's no doubt in my mind we made the right choice. It was time, and if our roles had been reversed, I would've wanted him to do the same. Sorry...

Taking the plunge in martial arts way back in 1997 is the hardest thing I've done for myself (and if that doesn't scream "privileged life", I don't know what does), but also the most rewarding. If you're coming at it as a complete blank slate (especially one in their 40s, when the body starts...

After three years on the couch with only the occasional walk for exercise, I have taken up Brazilian jiu jitsu again. Had my introductory class tonight, a fundamentals class that actually went really well. The warm-ups have taught me that I can still do cartwheels, front rolls, back rolls, and...

So lovely to hear!

We went and saw the Super Mario Bros. movie with our niece and nephew (and my wife's mom) yesterday. It was an absolute blast and everything we wanted out of a Mario adaptation. Will likely go see it again with my wife's brother's family and will do so gladly. It was a lot of fun.

The Scotty Manoeuver is an essential part of every translator's repertoire.

Love making them!

In March, my wife, Maryse, got her second PET scan in her ongoing battle with stage 4 breast cancer. Things were going well, and she'd been feeling really good, so we were expecting good news, but to say there were no trepidations would be a lie. So… Got the results today. And oh boy, they were...

Persona 5 Royal is brilliant. I have yet to finish it, but through no fault of its own. I just haven't had the time the last couple of years.

Welcome to our cavalcade of whimsy!

Powerwolf show last night in Montreal, it was absolutely insane, everything I was hoping for, except no pyro (which I expected) and a couple of songs I wish they'd played.100% recommend, would see again. Venue was PACKED. Not a good place if you're claustrophobic. Falk Maria Schlegel...
