If I took the bus like I usually do, I would not have the energy to even pick up a bucket. Fate, timing, or whatever a person calls it, intervened in the form of a friend getting me home at 4:30. I ate some supper, opened the windows, and decided enough was enough. I left … Continue reading Finally Scrubbing Winter Off, or My Personal Bistro/Cafe Opens for “Business”
Reading in Progress: The Sense of Style: A Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st Century
Book talks usually happen after I read the book. I decided to flip the script and talk about a book in progress, especially a book helping me take a look at my writing. Steven Pinker's The Sense of Style: the Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century already generated heated debate among those … Continue reading Reading in Progress: The Sense of Style: A Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st Century
Did You Get Lost?
On my way to work the other day, I saw two Canada Geese hopping around downtown Winnipeg. I took a picture of this one looking out, wondering if he went left instead of right at main.
Music Monday: Shut Up And Dance by Walk the Moon
It's spring! No, really it's spring! It's not spring in Winnipeg unless more people dust off their shorts, skirts, and dresses, even if the high is 17, or 62 degrees for those outside of Canada. On Saturday I attended an event with a new dress from Old Navy, navy with white polka dots, and topping … Continue reading Music Monday: Shut Up And Dance by Walk the Moon
Outlander Does Something Pretty Remarkable (With Bonus Ron Moore)
Sunday nights my PVR almost overheat from the shows I record. The Walking Dead has finished, but Mad Men shows its final episodes on AMC, Game of Thrones continues its intrigue on Movie Central, while Outlander captivates on Showcase after breaking for nearly six months. Watching The Walking Dead as people try to outwit humans, … Continue reading Outlander Does Something Pretty Remarkable (With Bonus Ron Moore)
Midweek Geekiness: The Avengers Are Com…I mean… Assembling!
Oh baby: https://twitter.com/Marvel/status/570267577189937152 Hard to believe the sequel will release very soon. Nearly 3 years have passed since The Avengers. The successive movies, plus TV's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D show a different setting as the venerable agency couldn't stop a hydra threat.

Music Monday: Cooking Up A Soundtrack El Caliente From the Movie ‘Chef’

Most people know him helping launch the Marvel cinematic universe with Iron Man; Chef throws back to the films making Favreau a household name with character banter and delicious detail found in his first film … Continue reading Music Monday: Cooking Up A Soundtrack El Caliente From the Movie ‘Chef’
Tap-Dancing Gremlins On My Chest, and A Week 2 Hiccup
I have some mugs that go with my dish set, and these can hold 355 ml, or 12 fl oz for Americans. The green mug over here holds a touch more, but I notice it comes out if heavy duty work needs caffeine. My plans yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before … Continue reading Tap-Dancing Gremlins On My Chest, and A Week 2 Hiccup
Here We Go A-Coding
The instructor for my class doesn't mind tweeting if nobody gets disturbed. As a social media nut even I have limits as to when, and where, to do it. I quickly captured a photo using my WordPress app on my phone. People may tweet, but how about a somewhat-live blog of a ten week course. … Continue reading Here We Go A-Coding
