Where was I? Oh, yes, I dreamed about being back in high school. I had an assignment due on the play, and I couldn't finish it. I saw Richard, but I didn't have my assignment finished, so I couldn't talk to him. The things my mind digs up even leaves me confused. This whole mobile … Continue reading Early Morning Commute Part The Second
Early Morning Commute
Welcome to the first live blog post from a bouncing bus. It's 6:34, Winnipeg slowly wakes up, hunting for its first coffee of the day. Let's get something out of the way first: I have not finished watching The Crucible from Digital Theatre. I ate a conservative amount of perogies, and watched up to John … Continue reading Early Morning Commute
Supplemental Midweek Geekiness: Downloading The Crucible Part 2
I troubleshoot for a living. In addition to finding books, students and staff bring me their concerns about laptops, data projectors, wireless among other things. Most problems, as some may attest, fall under 'Operator Error'. I checked Digital Theatre's FAQs, downloaded the player, and tried again. I filled in the information, input my card number, … Continue reading Supplemental Midweek Geekiness: Downloading The Crucible Part 2
Midweek Geekiness: Richard Armitage and the Testing of my Patience
I had an interesting day yesterday. I took my mom to her follow-up appointment at her doctor's office. My car bit the biscuit, so to speak, in 2009. I occasionally borrow the car, and Monday I took the car home as I will drive my mom to her appointment the next day. I noticed this … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Richard Armitage and the Testing of my Patience

As someone of a Catholic background, I never heard of the guy until … Continue reading Music Monday: Paint The Town Green by The Script

#weekendcoffeeshare: Drinking in Semi-Darkness to Gear Up for Things Ahead
It's Daylight Savings this weekend, bad news as my brain already feels like it's made of teflon, things sliding off as soon as I try to remember them. Now we add a time shift to really screw things up. The blinds to my living room and bed room remain closed as I write this post … Continue reading #weekendcoffeeshare: Drinking in Semi-Darkness to Gear Up for Things Ahead
Music Monday: Running Up That Hill with Kate Bush
While people listened to Top 40 pop or hair metal, Samantha Taylor's Video hits introduced me to a female solo artist out of Britain with this video: http://youtu.be/wp43OdtAAkM This video caused me to head to a shop on Portage Avenue downtown, with records on the main floor, then a downstairs section with loads of cassette … Continue reading Music Monday: Running Up That Hill with Kate Bush
A Little Note to Say…
Music Monday: Two by Bruce Cockburn
On one hand music has a good beat and you can dance to it. (I just betrayed my age right there.) I look for lyrics. Songs can only have so much 'hey baby hey' until they turn my brain to mush. Today's selections comes from one of my favourite artists. Bruce Cockburn had his music … Continue reading Music Monday: Two by Bruce Cockburn
