A new vlogger combines a couple of my favourite things – books and booze – in her Literarily Drunk reviews.
Spending time with my family – I think Pace was starting to suspect daddy had gotten married to his computer since I was spending more time with it than him and mommy the past few months! 😉 Finishing getting ready for the addition to our family – apparently we’re having a baby in two months […]
As we head into the first day of the Sask NDP Leadership Convention, I thought I’d post a fun article (h/t to GG) on behalf of the members of Team Meili, most of whom who are of the Y chromosome persuasion, will be sporting beards of varying degrees of length and lushness this weekend. Very […]

During past Freedom to Read weeks, I’ve noticed that everything starts to look like a Freedom of Expression issue. (That’s probably a good thing that we should keep in mind year-round anyhow.) For example, we’re only halfway through the week and I’ve had three distinct experiences that weren’t official FTRW events but which brought forward […]
Every year during FTRW, I usually like to post one (potentially) offensive song (eg. a song with lots of swearing or controversial lyrics or whatever) because it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 😉 Sometimes these songs use swearing to make a point about censorship, sometimes they use swearing for humourous effect and sometimes the […]
