Last Friday I felt nauseous, with erratic sleep leaving me feeling blah, and my temperature hovering between 'maybe I have something' and 'maybe I am perimenopausal'. I called in sick, slept a bit more, then made oatmeal to eat while watching The Walking Dead. In fact, Oatmeal seemed my speed as my stomach didn't feel … Continue reading When the Beginning of the Week Looks Like the End of Your Last One
Oh baby: https://twitter.com/Marvel/status/570267577189937152 Hard to believe the sequel will release very soon. Nearly 3 years have passed since The Avengers. The successive movies, plus TV's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D show a different setting as the venerable agency couldn't stop a hydra threat. (Unless Coulson shows up disguised as a waiter, and says 'Short version...not dead' a la … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: The Avengers Are Com…I mean… Assembling!
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
Last week my friend R and I went to see American Hustle. It's my second time seeing the film. I know, a film without superheroes, aliens, or other fantastical beings getting seen yet again. Although many people have described the film in superhero-type terms. My favourite states: It's a film about Batman and Lois Lane … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Doing the (American) Hustle
What's a Winnipeg winter without a cold snap. The best I could do for the above image is link to the original source, but I really want to know who drew it. It's quite funny, but the comments under it are even funnier. Among my favourites: I was about to say - "come to Norway, and … Continue reading Baby, It’s Cold Outside
How am I doing? You would think having a medically mandated week off would be a good thing. Nope, I felt really bored. At first I thought Dr. L at Pan Am had a screw loose. The pain didn't go away. It actually got worse before it died down. Turns out the good doctor knew … Continue reading Slowly, But Surely, I Can Sit a Little Longer
Whenever I berate myself about not publishing very much, I remind myself anything I do publish usually has truth behind it. If I write about a movie, an actor, or anything else it's fact checked. If I make a mistake I own it, correct it, and move on. As a self-confessed geek, I have to … Continue reading Rumours, Innuendos, and Comic Book Sites
Long time no geeking. While I work out my blogging/writer's existentialist crisis, it's best to proceed as usual. While walking about on the net, I fell down the Tumblr hole. It makes me furrow my brow in confusion. People write about their 1,500th post and all I can see is pictures. The images bring me … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Hawkeye Goes Deep Cover and Other Avengers-Related Tidbits
I set up my 'Goals for 2013' page as a way to set some ideas down. The next step is make them happen. Over monthly brunch on Sunday, E remarked how she's tired of scarves, boots, and jackets. She articulated what I felt lately. My friend R smartly replied we just have to hang on … Continue reading Putting Goals into Play
My last day of work before Christmas break was December 21st. I returned January 2. In between family, friends, and holiday eating I felt like the 'break' was really a 'blink'. (As in 'a blink of an eye.) On Friday most people around the college remarked on feeling tired, while quite a few picked up … Continue reading A Holiday to Recover From My Holiday
