Thank you once again to Shadz from Tone Down and Vintage for the Liebester Award. The award is a five-part process with a little link love for the person nominating you (check).

Wheel, Deal, and Write
Sorry, folks, no 'Midweek Geekiness' today. In the words of John Cleese, "And now for something completely different"... While the blog remained a little quiet, things outside the computer hop and bop around. I just bought myself a new bike. It's light enough to carry upstairs to my condo, plus the bike shop offers %15 … Continue reading Wheel, Deal, and Write
Topsy-Turvy Schedule Juggling
I postponed a few entries namely a Blog Spotlight and a Midweek Geekiness. (Does that make it a Post-Post Midweek Geekiness?) I know it's not a paying gig and this blog is something I enjoy. I have a raft-load of work washing ashore on my desk, plus the clock ticks until my big trip to Alberta. … Continue reading Topsy-Turvy Schedule Juggling
Post Midweek Geekiness
The Fabulous Eton Boys Who knew one of the oldest private schools in Britain, one counting Prince William and current Prime Minister David Cameron as graduates, produces so many actors? Among their alumni are: Dominic West (The Wire, The Hour, 300) Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers, Life, The Forsythe Saga,Homeland) Harry Lloyd (Robin Hood, Doctor Who, Game … Continue reading Post Midweek Geekiness
Why I Just Don’t Get the Show ‘Girls’ (Note: It’s Not About the Show Not Having Zombies, Vampires, or Dragons)
Bohemian Geeky Girl posted her review of HBO's new comedy Girls. Her review, coupled with the promos leaving me a little cold, relegated the show to later viewing on Movie Central on Demand. (Canadian Equivalent, somewhat, of HBO on Demand. Long story.) I felt a little curious about the show and some its reviews. In … Continue reading Why I Just Don’t Get the Show ‘Girls’ (Note: It’s Not About the Show Not Having Zombies, Vampires, or Dragons)
Sweating Out the Stories
I came, I did, and I want to come back. I went to my first hot yoga class after nearly talking myself out it on the way. My bus passes my neighbourhood before taking me to my class. I nearly wanted to pull the cord, literally, on the evening. In fact, I wanted to get … Continue reading Sweating Out the Stories
Midweek Geekiness: Bits & Bobs
Play Off Hilarity Spring makes everyone turn to warm weather and NHL play offs. I spend my time between CBC's Hockey Night In Canada and NBC's hockey coverage. Call me a traditionalist, but I prefer HNIC while merely tolerating Don Cherry's rants. NBC's coverage is best likened to sitcom with the buffoonish neighbour (Mike Milbury), … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Bits & Bobs
Sweating to the Tune of Om
Hot yoga. To some it's a trend practised by puffed-up hipsters. To others, like me, it's a return to yoga with a twist. Way back in the day, alright the early 2000's, I made a beeline to a yoga studio close to my work place. It did mostly Hatha yoga, the perfect kind of yoga … Continue reading Sweating to the Tune of Om
Book Talk: Meeting Raylan Givens
I confess to seeing Elmore Leonard's work on the movie screen than actually reading his novels. The two standing out in my mind involve US Marshall Karen Sisco played by both Carla Guigino (Television, Karen Sisco on ABC) and Jennifer Lopez (Movie, Out of Sight). I confess to liking Carla Guigino, an underrated actress and … Continue reading Book Talk: Meeting Raylan Givens
Post-Long Weekend Surprise
Aside from posting a 'Happy Easter' message, sorry for the mistyped subject line, I took some time off from blogging. (Sadly not from Angry Birds.) I feel up to my eye balls with half completed entries in draft mode, plus whatever scribbles in my blue notebook. I basically write with the hope people will discover me, be … Continue reading Post-Long Weekend Surprise
