You’ve heard it a million times, you’ve heard it from everyone, but allow me to wish you all, dear readers, a prosperous, healthy and productive new year! Have a good evening, drink in moderation (sort of), don’t drink and drive (most importantly), and enjoy the company of good friends and family. See you all in [...]

Thought I’d post a link to my sister Julie’s cool little media project from this past university semester. It’s a true image of her desktop (probably less messy than it really is) and an interesting little insight into her personality. I wonder if she’ll blog more if I link to it?

Ze hubby and old housemate Hodgson are watching Total Recall this evening. Arnold Shmarnold, it’s a rubbish film!

I’m sure I’ll come up [...]

Not that they’re ever serious, but if, like me, you couldn’t [...]

This is the nagging sound of any Canadian wife to her husband in early November when the first signs of winter frost start appearing. A car without snow tires is like well… a Canadian without a shovel, it ain’t going nowhere! While on the phone to my dad, he mentioned that more than 50 OC [...]

I just had a moment of melting childhood softspot when I saw this link to Le roi et l’oiseau on DVD Times on Spyhunter’s blog. It was apparently renamed The King and the Mockingbird in English, but was never subtitled (Good! I hate subtitles – but not half as much as I despise dubbing! Just [...]
