During a vigil to remember the Machester Bombing victims, someone broke out into this twenty-year-old song. The Gallagher brothers probably had another meaning, if they weren't busy hating each other publically, but people connected with the melody and the lyrics. We had how many bombings now? That's only the ones we heard about on the … Continue reading Music Monday: Don’t Look Back In Anger by Oasis

Scibbling Away
NOTE: Woke already happened. I forgot to post this earlier. While things look quiet on the blog front, behind the scenes, I furiously scribble away in my journal from my daily grind to ideas for stories, to premises for jokes. Right now it's jokes for tonight's Woke Comedy Hour at X-Cues. It means I have … Continue reading Scibbling Away
Music Monday: Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler
Like I need to tell anyone why this song got picked. https://youtu.be/lcOxhH8N3Bo
A Prairie Kitchen Party
Newfoundland. No province has captured my imagination more than this one, even with a name more befitting like Newfoundland and Labrador, to reflect the island and the mainland. In elementary school, we all partnered up to research a province. My friend P and I examined Newfoundland from its geography to industry. (In 2001 the name … Continue reading A Prairie Kitchen Party
Manitoba Night On Terry Fox Day
The first weekend of August gets called many things, depending on where you live. In Toronto, they call it Simcoe Day after John Graves Simcoe, the first Governor of what was then known as Upper Canada. Thanks to AMC's Turn, people might wonder why a city would celebrate a sociopath. (People read a history book! … Continue reading Manitoba Night On Terry Fox Day
Music Monday: Something Just Like This by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay
I tried to figure out a combination of an audio introduction and something written for the last song in this loose trilogy. Sometimes things work as a nebulous concept and stubbornly refuse to apply to reality, much like love. It began with Dreams Come True two weeks ago, but the whole thing rested on today's … Continue reading Music Monday: Something Just Like This by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay
Waiting for Richard and Asking Superchannel A Question
Warning: Fangirling ahead. Wise person once said, "Good things come to those who wait." I amend that to also read 'and those who ask nicely.' I have waited for two Richard Armitage projects, the film Pilgrimage and season 2 of Berlin Station. No word on the former but I hit pay dirt on the latter. … Continue reading Waiting for Richard and Asking Superchannel A Question
MUSIC MONDAY: TOO LITTLE TOO LATE BY JoJo
Ran into some technical difficulty. The irony is not lost on me at the moment. https://youtu.be/v-jgiwvWLzg
A Break From Everything
Yesterday, I returned to work with surprising results. I slapped the snooze button once, a good sign, and found myself easing fluidly into the daily routine. It's a good sign of a restful vacation, one with no reading and no writing. Yes, other than reading tweets or scribbling in my journal, I did not blog … Continue reading A Break From Everything
Music Monday: Dream Come True by Frozen Ghost
I've been waiting my whole life for you, Now my waiting is through. All those nights I spent dreaming I knew, That my dream would come true. Dream come true Dream come true https://youtu.be/ScSrPFyEWgQ
