The first day of summer came in typical Winnipeg fashion. In other words, the weather was crappy and not matching up with the first day of anything. It felt more like the first day of fall than summer with the overcast sky squeezing every last raindrop throughout the day. The English would call it Wednesday. … Continue reading Music Monday: In the Summer Time by Mungo Jerry

Music Monday: Issues by Julia Michaels
I heard a lot of love songs in my time. Most of them have this air of insincerity, or I have attended way too many divorces weddings it's clouded my judgment. I love the honesty in this track. Everyone has issues heading into a relationship, something I wished someone told me in my twenties. I … Continue reading Music Monday: Issues by Julia Michaels
Music Monday: To Be Human by Sia Feat. Labyrinth
Ever since Gal Gadot showed up as Wonder Woman, and helped save the mess that was Batman vs. Superman, women have waited to see the solo film. It's no secret this movie had high expectations from women like: Please don't sexualize her. Let director Party Jenkins do her damn job studio yobs! For pity sakes, … Continue reading Music Monday: To Be Human by Sia Feat. Labyrinth
Music Monday: Cut To The Feeling by Carly Rae Jepsen
Every so often a song comes along and makes you feel what this Tweeter summed up perfectly in 140 words: https://twitter.com/jmdornbush/status/867969451525722112 Since listening to the song last Friday, I have not taken it off repeat. Will I get sick of it? No. I make myself take breaks to come back refreshed and ready to tackle … Continue reading Music Monday: Cut To The Feeling by Carly Rae Jepsen
Music Monday: Body Love Part 1 & 2 By Mary Lambert
I read a lot of body positive/fat positive blogs, and Twitter feeds. It's part of reclaiming my body from all the shit and labels layered over it, each word like an explosive device detonating the negative attached to the thinking connected with my body. Once, I looked at a classmate askance as she said, "I'm … Continue reading Music Monday: Body Love Part 1 & 2 By Mary Lambert
Music Monday: Bad Things by Jace Everett
It happened. I watch Crave more than Netflix. Crave TV launched in 2016 to compete against Netflix. While their user face could use work, it doesn't have the countdown to the next episode of a series like its opponent, it does have something Netflix, at least in Canada does not have in their library. They … Continue reading Music Monday: Bad Things by Jace Everett
Music Monday: I’m Every Woman by Chaka Khan
I changed up my routine by going to the St. James Y, an easy 15-minute drive from my area, plus free parking. After hearing chapters 9 and part of 10 from the Audible Audio version of David Copperfield, reaching the place where, spoiler alert, Davy's mother died, I needed something slightly happier on the balance … Continue reading Music Monday: I’m Every Woman by Chaka Khan
Music Monday: Lovely Day By Bill Withers
Welcome to spring. After the freezing rain and the ice-rink-level sidewalks on Friday, I walked out to the bus stop today, remembering the flock of Canada Geese yesterday. One sure sign of spring. The morning breeze brought another, a smell in the air like the universe, or something, wants to resuscitate people from their stupor. … Continue reading Music Monday: Lovely Day By Bill Withers
Music Monday: Fatima’s YMCA Work Out Playlist
I started going back to the YMCA with the following wellness goals in mind: Prevent weight gain. Clear the mind. Important in creativity. Manage stress. Get my conditioning back and start running again. Adding movement to go with modifying food after hibernating all winter. Why the Y? I have one downtown and use it after … Continue reading Music Monday: Fatima’s YMCA Work Out Playlist
Music Monday: I’m Afraid of Americans By David Bowie
Over the weekend between errands and general lollygagging, I confirmed Berlin Station had made it's way to Canada, a piece of good news. Bad news, it's on iTunes, and I use a Chromecast. It's another headscratcher for Canadian viewers as one show from a network, like Graves, can end up on Google Play while another … Continue reading Music Monday: I’m Afraid of Americans By David Bowie
