Let's get something out of the way. Just because Mr. Armitage signs on, doesn't mean I will necessarily take it on. Wanderlust proved a prime example. While I happily indulge in smutty material, I have limits like trying 50 Shades for 60 pages until I thought oh, lord, I can't read this dreck! I took a … Continue reading Music To My Ears or Richard Armitage On Audio In Wolverine: The Long Night
Last year I purchased this item, a Phillips brand alarm clock that uses light and bird sound to wake me up: The light simulates a sunrise, an important thing at 5:30 am in a dark room, in mid-November. Compared to last year, the need to hit snooze has declined, and having my coffeemaker perk at … Continue reading To Light My Way Through The Darkness
Warning: Fangirling ahead. Wise person once said, "Good things come to those who wait." I amend that to also read 'and those who ask nicely.' I have waited for two Richard Armitage projects, the film Pilgrimage and season 2 of Berlin Station. No word on the former but I hit pay dirt on the latter. … Continue reading Waiting for Richard and Asking Superchannel A Question
While taking a break from bopping to 'Cut to the Feeling,' I decided to take a listen to the Castlevania teaser trailer from Netflix. I already knew about it from Slate, and anything animated gets a good look. I like a well-made motion picture, but I admit to indulging my inner teen/tween/kid with a given … Continue reading The Cord Cutter’s Update: Reattaching The Cord
I began Chapter 13 of David Copperfield, setting the timer to 15 minutes on the Audible app, and started walking around the track overlooking the gym at the Downtown YMCA. The walk always starts my work out allowing the book to play and no worries about cars nearly mowing me down, just people walking or … Continue reading A Sweaty Story Time or Hearing David Copperfield While Working Out
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
I couldn't resist. Plus the answer is yes, always, and let me read the map you get lost too easily.
After my post about scaling the Geoblock to catch the first two episodes of Richard Armitage's new project, Berlin Station, I tried to find the rest through other channels. By 'other channels' I mean the back channels used to make Game of Thrones the most pirated show in the world. Serv over at Me + … Continue reading Breakfast With Porter

Like blowing snow around Winnipeg, the internet has articles about New Year's resolutions flying around. I remember typing out mine, back in the days of my beloved Brother AX-15 typewriter. They did not seem impossible, more like a set of goals but I did have 'lose weight' quite often, and I did try to exercise. That … Continue reading I Resolve To Not Make New Year’s Resolutions
