I came of age in the 80's, but I think much of my musical tastes come from the 70's. It's the side effect of having a nine-and-a-half year age difference with my brother. He had all the greatest hits stuff from K-tel, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, lots of ABBA on LP and 45's, and Queen's News … Continue reading Sunny Days…oh..Sunny, Sunny, Sunny Days

Manitoba Libraries Conference Recap
The Manitoba Libraries Conference happened last week. While it ran from May 12-14, I could logistically go for one day. If you read this blog, and attended other sessions, leave a comment. If you wrote about a session in your own blog, leave a link and earn yourself a ping, or its equivalent. About That … Continue reading Manitoba Libraries Conference Recap
Spring Blooms and So Do My Allergies (With a Bonus Observations)
"What are you doing here?" asked my co-worker, genuinely concerned with my watery eyes and persistent sniffling. "It's allergies not a cold," I answered. On Friday I noticed the trees begin to bud around Winnipeg. Unfortunately my allergies decided to bud as well, leaving me with a nose feeling like a wad of cotton balls … Continue reading Spring Blooms and So Do My Allergies (With a Bonus Observations)
Spring Has….Sprung? (It’s Up for Debate)
No Midweek Geekiness Today. I feel plumb tapped out for the time being... This blog may have been quiet, but on other fronts it's not the case. The college begins to wind its school year down. Last week it's helping students with the deeper parts of Microsoft Word, the stuff that rusts if disused, … Continue reading Spring Has….Sprung? (It’s Up for Debate)
Just a Pile-of-Chocolate Kind of Day
Last winter I knew my mood takes a bit of a dip. While I look functional, behind the scenes everything felt ten time harder to either start, do, or complete. My goal is to move this blog to a slightly bigger league. When I am not posting, I am writing, but if I am not … Continue reading Just a Pile-of-Chocolate Kind of Day
This Is My Winter Song To You
It's 10 am here in Winnipeg. I had my third cup of coffee, my mom finished watching Midnight Mass from the Vatican about an hour ago on EWTN. My parent's place is quiet, my mom wonders if I want the TV on, but I say 'no thanks'. I like the quiet, and I like being … Continue reading This Is My Winter Song To You
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
The Real First Day of Spring
According to Environment Canada, the temperature is 13 degrees Celsius, with winds from the North at 13 km/h. It sounds cold to those not used to it, but it's heavenly under clear and sunny skies. I had my supper and hauled out my stuff: The lap desk didn't work. Right now one of my TV … Continue reading The Real First Day of Spring
Midweek Geekiness: Hawkeye Goes Deep Cover and Other Avengers-Related Tidbits
Long time no geeking. While I work out my blogging/writer's existentialist crisis, it's best to proceed as usual. While walking about on the net, I fell down the Tumblr hole. It makes me furrow my brow in confusion. People write about their 1,500th post and all I can see is pictures. The images bring me … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Hawkeye Goes Deep Cover and Other Avengers-Related Tidbits
Hello, Spring, Glad to Finally See You
I don't call this past weekend 'spring cleaning'. I call it more like a process of reclamation. After my Saturday hair cut, I came home to begin cleaning off my dining room table. Sunday I tackled the dining room, living room, and laundry. I did some spot cleaning in between, as in I see a … Continue reading Hello, Spring, Glad to Finally See You
