Michelle W over at the Daily Post posed a simple prompt today: Where were you last night when 2012 turned into 2013? Is that where you’d wanted to be? It's a good question to ask prompt or no prompt. New Year's Eve gets loaded with expectation and regret. The stoke of midnight puts a period … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness Part One: Turning the Page on a New Year

Midweek Geekiness: Odds and Ends on a Sore Back
I will never, ever take sitting for granted. I only hope to hang onto this memory, not forget it until the next time my back goes out. It's not a great feeling to wish on anyone. For now allow me to share a few things gleaned from the interweb, and other sundry sources. Who Knew … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Odds and Ends on a Sore Back
Midweek Geekiness: Bringing Home The Avengers and Writing Outside the Blog
Unless someone lives under a rock, The Avengers came out on DVD yesterday. I decided to purchase the DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack with plans to purchase a Blu-Ray player next month. The gag reels and other extra goodies remain in the Blu-Ray disc, but I have a Joss Whedon commentary on the DVD side.

Midweek Geekiness: A Hollow Crown, A Secret Agent, and Even More Avengers Geekiness
People may scoff at me about seeing The Avengers more than once. Life feels too short to arouse concern on my part, and most of the time I see it again with someone else seeing for the first time. On Sunday, after a delightful brunch at The Falafel Place, myself and two other friends walked to Grant Park. … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: A Hollow Crown, A Secret Agent, and Even More Avengers Geekiness
Midweek Geekiness
After geeking live from the curvy landscape of Alberta, it's now back to work in the flat lands of Manitoba. I have another chunk of holidays in July to do mostly at-home things. (My zone regulator needs replacing to make my place less like a sauna in the middle of winter. Yes, some places are … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness
More Avengers Geekiness
Today's adventure involved a visit to a museum and art gallery in Red Deer. We met up with a family of seven, good friends of V, for a tour around the exhibits. The main exhibit talked about food and food safety. Displays included trying to find ingredients from various time periods. (Oranges in the 19th … Continue reading More Avengers Geekiness
