Seriously how old am I? Obviously old enough to post this: Like the subject line says I am stuck. I should rephrase that...I am stuck AGAIN! Why? I overthink things that's why. I also broke a primary commandment in blogging...thou shalt write for thyself and see if others like it. For now I content myself … Continue reading A Post In Which Our Heroine Gets Stuck And Resorts To Fangirlish Things To Get…Well Unstuck

The Desolation Fast Approaches
My countdown widget say two days until the movie, but this year I put my delay-of-gratification skills to the test by taking in an early show on Saturday the fourteenth. It's a bit like the one marshmallow/two marshmallow test given to preschoolers, but instead of 'preschooler' it's me, and instead of 'marshmallow' it's Richard Armitage. … Continue reading The Desolation Fast Approaches
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
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
Midweek Geekiness: Hang in There, Spring is Just Around the Corner
Once the weather warms up my body and psyche feel a little lighter. The blustery cold recedes, and I trade in my long winter coat for something shorter, yet just as warmer. I have an idea for the Milestone Widget, but this time will not involve a show or movie. In the mean time a … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Hang in There, Spring is Just Around the Corner
Putting Goals into Play
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
Midweek Geekiness: It’s Actually Wednesday Edition
Oy vey gevalt. No, I am not Jewish. The yiddish phrase pretty much summed up discovering two 'Midweek Geekiness' posts for the new year happened yesterday. Yesterday was not midweek. At least a few items cropped up for my nerdy pleasure. Let's start with a reminder of what Thorin Oakenshield looks like without the wig and … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: It’s Actually Wednesday Edition
A Blog-Inspired Gift
My friend V told me the story about the strange looks given to her as she outlined her gift to me. This came before I unwrapped the tissue paper, my first thought was alright. My friends know me well, some of them too well, and V was no exception to either rule. "I told them … Continue reading A Blog-Inspired Gift
Midweek Geekiness: Through the Looking-Back Glass
Like many blog writers, I looked over my posts over this almost-completed year. Technically, this blog has gone on for over a year. I had reflective posts, fumbling posts, and Book Talk posts. Midweek Geekiness came after getting stumped for ideas. Using the adage 'write what you know', I read all things sundry and nerdy. … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Through the Looking-Back Glass
Midweek Geekiness: Prepping for The Hobbit
Two days until The Hobbit premieres in theatres. Right now people watch their extended editions of The Lord Of The Rings, while critics lament this latest film as 'too long'. All the clips, interviews, and red carpet events basically resembles the time-honoured words, "People start your engines." Me? I take a different track to prepping … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Prepping for The Hobbit
Midweek Geekiness: Some Expected Hype for An Unexpected Journey
When I got home, I checked on my precious. No golden ring here, but two tickets to see The Hobbit in IMAX 3D at Silver City, on its opening day. Assured the tickets existed, I hunted for interviews over a glass of wine. The hype was expected for something like this, and no surprise some of … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Some Expected Hype for An Unexpected Journey
