Last week I began the leading the Learn to Run clinic at The Running Room. Like any new endeavour, I pretty much bounced off the wall until the first session, then settled down. Today I took a small group out for the Sunday runs. One set of members, a married couple, even brought a jogging … Continue reading Getting The First Week Down
Midweek Geekiness: Seeing The Dark Knight Rises
This will sound like part movie review and part polemic. Yesterday, I saw The Dark Knight Rises at a movie theatre. I sat in the middle, with people on either side, and just looked over at the exits once. I sat back in a lovely movie seat to lose myself in Christopher Nolan's final chapter … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Seeing The Dark Knight Rises
More Musical Discoveries
I prowl the alternative music section of iTunes. I randomly click on song titles arousing interest. Other times a song heard on a show resonates with me and I must have it. I just pray it's 99 cents. Most of the times it's $1.29 then I hope to not go completely nuts. I … Continue reading More Musical Discoveries
Midweek Geekiness: The Post Holiday Edition
Sometimes I arrive at Wednesdays with nothing to write about. While on holidays between comic con and the promotion for The Bourne Legacy, I felt a little overwhelmed. Why not approach the first Midweek Geekiness the way I approach going back to work on holidays-a combination of slowly and break-neck speed. Loki and Ned Visit … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: The Post Holiday Edition
The Unlikely Clinic Leader
One of my happy places, and I have a mental library full of them, comes from this photo: The woman who took the picture was from BC and simply turned around, whipped out her camera, and captured this moment. The road to the life I live now started to fork in that moment. A couple of … Continue reading The Unlikely Clinic Leader
Good Bye Holidays, Hello Rejuvinated Work Life
This is it. My last day. I went on holidays two weeks ago, and now return a little more rested, ready to tackle the big to-do list waiting to form itself upon my return. It's a far cry from a couple of years ago juggling more than one job after graduating with my library … Continue reading Good Bye Holidays, Hello Rejuvinated Work Life
My New Favourite Song
While on holidays I found myself downloading a few songs from iTunes. Normally I can browse and may be get a song I like. I prowled the top tens and test out a few interesting choices. I hit this new single by the Canadian band Stars called 'Hold On When You Get Love and Let … Continue reading My New Favourite Song
Plinky Prompt Friday: What I Currently Read
Welcome to a new feature to keep me writing. When I felt a little blocked, I discovered a site called Plinky. It's a series of questions designed to get people writing. The answers can even appear in a blog, although I prefer just having a look at the questions and going from that point. Today's … Continue reading Plinky Prompt Friday: What I Currently Read
Hazy, Lazy Days of Summer
The literary output looks slower than usual thanks to round two of holidays. After working with a computer all day, it's good to turn it off, and head outside. Baby, it's warm outside alright. I took a walk to the bank, had a mocha at Starbucks, then walked back home. Each time I entered an … Continue reading Hazy, Lazy Days of Summer
Meanwhile, Back in Real Life
I have a busted bicuspid tooth needing to come out. While my Midweek Geekiness feature went live, I took my throbbing, aching tooth to a new dentist. To make a long story short: I fired my last dentist. The new dentist requires new patients fill out a two-page questionnaire to make their visit as comfortable as possible. Dentists … Continue reading Meanwhile, Back in Real Life
