Let me tell a little secret: It's my birthday this week. It sounds like an attempt for adulation, but it's the truth. I will wake up one year older and after my last Music Monday post, I wanted an antidote to the sentiments from the previous week. The post originally had a lyric video for Avicii's … Continue reading Music Monday: Wake Me Up (Acoustic Version) by Aloe Blacc

Lazy Sunday At Cafe Fatima
The weather last week look miserable. Last week the flu made me feel miserable. Today I finally emerged on my balcony, dubbed Cafe Fatima, to read for a bit and write. People had colds and flu and dragged their germs into the library. Add the weather and no wonder people went down like flies, present … Continue reading Lazy Sunday At Cafe Fatima
Music Monday: Don’t Give Up by Peter Gabriel Featuring Kate Bush
Whenever I feel sad or discouraged, I put his song on my headphones. It helped me through some difficult times like bad days in the classroom as a substitute teacher, a bunch of guys in my high school calling me 'fat' and 'ugly', and now the feeling of chucking the idea of writing … Continue reading Music Monday: Don’t Give Up by Peter Gabriel Featuring Kate Bush
Music Monday: It’s Raining Men by The Weather Girls
I have a mid-life crisis every Sunday around the time I watch Game of Thrones. Kit Harrington has an adorable mop of dark curls, the body of an Adonis, and a sixteen-year age difference.

The library will go from bustling hive to an almost monastic calm. Summer also means holidays and housekeeping projects.

To The Ballot Box One More Time
Let's see: 2014: Civic election 2015: Federal election In a case of once-more-with-feeling April 19th, I will select an MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) to the provincial legislature. Much like the federal election, whatever party wins the most seats leads the province, but I would not mind a minority government. Out of the three … Continue reading To The Ballot Box One More Time
