Mask On, Mask Off, or Public Health Orders in Manitoba

I can hear the LibChat notification go off in my sleep. My college began its two-week student event, and no rehearsal can anticipate one technical bug messing things up. The school year has already started, and my to-list takes on the routine of students back in classes, though it's online. For the past few weeks, … Continue reading Mask On, Mask Off, or Public Health Orders in Manitoba

Right, This Time We Twitter Right

A while ago, I disconnected this blog from my Stacks and Ranges Twitter account and took a social media break. I reconnected a while ago and noticed I am no on as much as I used and not sharing as much personal stuff. I have people from the college following me at Stacks and Ranges … Continue reading Right, This Time We Twitter Right

Second Dose, Second Chance

Today I get my second dose I followed vaccine developments through the news and, ironically, on Twitter. There's a number of scientists on Twitter, real ones, citing actual research. While Pfizer shipments will slow down in early July, Moderna shipments will increase to Canada. I booked my appointment for Pfizer before the slowdown was announced … Continue reading Second Dose, Second Chance

So, The Universe Listened…

He's been quiet. Richard Armitage is normally quiet and especially quiet when working. One day, probably while washing the dishes, my mind picked up bits of information and concluded he must be done with his latest project. (In this case, Harlen Coben's Stay Close for Netflix.) What are you up to? I asked the universe, … Continue reading So, The Universe Listened…

Music Monday: Current Favourites

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EpvcuwnMylxTs?si=55a0688562ad4ba7 I will listen to a song a repeat during a task. The lyrics may inspire me during a task, the music turns off a the monkey-chatter part of my brain to help me focus, or I want to dance out an emotion. Having a monthly subscription to Spotify proved a smart investment since I … Continue reading Music Monday: Current Favourites

Some Lighthearted Fun

Michele over at the M Files had this fun Armitage-related questionnaire, and I had a break from work. Sometimes a break from the chaos and personal nuttiness can do the soul some good and I have the soul of a 16-year-old high schooler with a crush on the artsy introvert. Let's do this. You Favourite … Continue reading Some Lighthearted Fun

Byronic Hair and the New Period-Drama Heroes

A meandering discussion on Brigerton, Byronic Heroes, and Armitage.

Fluffy Novels and Vicars With Glass-Cutting Cheekbones

I wrote this post in December but the little dialogue bits proved funny, at least to me.

Onward to 2021

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing I started this blog under 'Stacks and Ranges' to have a sense of agency. I started a new job but discovered a staff locked in time, unlock my first position. It drove me crazy, especially after working for … Continue reading Onward to 2021

To Richard On His 49th Birthday

Dear Richard, You always seem to write the birthday messages so how about writing one to you. Let's start with the obvious, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. You are one step closer to fifty, true middle age, and it's not bad over here. (I am a year older than you.) It's also fun to reach an age where … Continue reading To Richard On His 49th Birthday
