Other than writing about National Poetry Month and mourning a fictional character's death (R.I.P. Andrea), I did one major thing causing an anticipatory tingle. No Richard Armitage or Nathan Fillion did not show up at my door. (Although that would be so nice.) Staying in the realm of the fantastic, the major thing will happen on … Continue reading All Lit (Fest) Up
Why Poetry is No Joke
April 1st is not only April fools day, as witnessed by a hilarious 'leak' of the Comic Con program courtesy of Whedonsesque, it's the kick off to National Poetry month. Think of it one whole month to the most maligned, misunderstood, or misery-inducing literary forms. I have not clue why the word 'poetry' would cause … Continue reading Why Poetry is No Joke
A Little Note to Say…
Trek for Tourette’s Race Recap
Let's begin with the end in mind. I crossed the finish line, let out a big whoop, and hugged a former clinic participant who crossed the line before me. It was her first timed race, and her enthusiasm spread to me. It's more than just a time. I crossed that line and felt like I … Continue reading Trek for Tourette’s Race Recap
Weird and Wacky Adventures Around the Net and Random Things
Remember the news Google Reader will no longer exist after July 1st? It's to give people enough time to find a suitable substitute, and migrate their feeds after seeing if such a thing exists. I found something right away, but people need time. Well, Google forgot people needed time. Imagine my surprise, shared by many … Continue reading Weird and Wacky Adventures Around the Net and Random Things
The Knock-Me-Sideways Run
Egads. I have run 5 K before and ran it many times. Today marked the first time one run knocked me side ways. I peeled off my running clothes, still sweated despite the cold, and noticed my pink legs. Winnipeg returned to -29 weather, with the possibility of a blizzard approaching to blind the city … Continue reading The Knock-Me-Sideways Run
Google Reader Soon Goes Good Bye
I have a routine like any other human being on this planet. I get to work, fire up my computer, then have a look at Google Reader for tidbits. (Fatima speak for anything trivial related to work, life, and writing.) On Thursday Google Reader has a news-breaking pop up: Of course I read more to … Continue reading Google Reader Soon Goes Good Bye
Late Midweek Geekiness: Here Comes The Sun
We sprang forward this past weekend. While I feel a little off sorts, it means leaving work while the sun still shines. Glorious! I got home, poured a little wine, and sat down to supper. I watched the latest episode of Vikings, History Channel's latest scripted offering. I wrote about the show last week, but … Continue reading Late Midweek Geekiness: Here Comes The Sun
Post-Run Coffee Thoughts
I had a great run this morning with my clinic participants. Tomorrow will mark the last day of my Learn to Run/5K clinic, with most of those individuals from the former moving up to the latter. Regarding my archer entry from yesterday I forgot to add Robin Hood. How can I talk about archery with … Continue reading Post-Run Coffee Thoughts
Tapping the Inner Katniss/Merida/Hawkeye/Green Arrow
I reconnected with someone at a church dinner. The dinner itself, a fundraiser for a new sound system took place at my old parish. Meeting the new pastor, new to me, at my old parish warrants an entry. This story involves women, bows, and arrows all glowing in the dark. The person I saw again … Continue reading Tapping the Inner Katniss/Merida/Hawkeye/Green Arrow
