Music Monday: RIP George Michael 

​My nephew announced the news, eyes still glued to his phone, while I had a partially dried dish in my hands. "Check two more sources, The Telegraph or The Guardian," I instructed. Those two newspapers had authority, at least I stayed in denial for a little while longer.  I pulled out my own phone, opening … Continue reading Music Monday: RIP George Michael  →

Music Monday: All The Right Moves by Jennifer Warnes & Chris Thompson

While out with the stomach flu, I binged on Stranger Things on Netflix. I already heard raves about the 80's set series with its attention to detail and homage to the films contributing to the plot and characters of the series. To my nephew's generation, it's a historical series. To me, it's a trip down … Continue reading Music Monday: All The Right Moves by Jennifer Warnes & Chris Thompson →

Music Monday: It’s The End Of The World by R.E.M.

It's day 2 of National Novel Writing Month, and hopefully my draft goes on schedule.  Last year I wrote a contemporary teen novel, at first, and then the last 15 chapters I aged the character.  I had a comtempoary novel idea again, but it missed something. I took a look at an idea set within … Continue reading Music Monday: It’s The End Of The World by R.E.M. →

Music Monday: Two ‘Pressure’-Themed Songs

At ten past the hour, I would get up from the front desk at school, and do a head count. Sometimes someone else does the headcount, leaving me to get up to move around to push in chairs. It's a way not to stiffen my back, and keep things moving. I leave the students alone, … Continue reading Music Monday: Two ‘Pressure’-Themed Songs →

Music Monday: Vacation by The Go-Gos

It arrived. For the next two weeks I will sleep in, pamper myself, and take my mom to a morning appointment without worrying about arranging my work schedule. My mind already left on the Tuesday after the Civic Holiday/Terry Fox long weekend. I wish to call it planning, but picking the dates meant waiting four … Continue reading Music Monday: Vacation by The Go-Gos →

Music Monday: Holiday by Madonna

I felt nostalgic, and I had one post for Music Monday needing some work. It's the Civic Holiday long weekend, or Terry Fox day depending on who's mentioning the news story. I had three lovely days off, and it's four more days until I go on my holidays. Let's celebrate! https://youtu.be/VMkwWamTRD8

Music Monday: Weird Science By Oingo Boingo

The 80's had big hair, and bands with weird names. Last week we had a song by a band with a repetitive name: Duran Duran. Let's go from the repetitive to the rhythmic. Oingo Boingo got its selection for a lot of reasons. Let's start with reason number one-Danny Elfman. He's the name behind some … Continue reading Music Monday: Weird Science By Oingo Boingo →

Music Monday: New Moon On Monday by Duran Duran

Why not have a Music Monday selection with 'Monday' in it? Long before One Direction, in my case it feels much longer, teenage girls went ga-ga over Duran Duran. Everyone had their favourite, and mine was Simon Le Bon. Listening to their albums now, I wonder what Simon smoked to write some of his lyrics. … Continue reading Music Monday: New Moon On Monday by Duran Duran →
