Sasha Smiling For A Good Cause

Shea’s entered a contest to raise funds and awareness for a breast milk drop-off location in Regina, a service our city lacks but desperately needs. To help her along, I volunteered to post a cute Sasha picture to Facebook for every 25 Likes Shea’s contest entry received. Here’s my first “Cute Incentive” picture…

How “Fifty Shades of Grey” Became a Bestseller and Hollywood Movie

In a thread where a poster is trying to show that “Fifty Shades of Grey” is not representative of the BSDM community like so many people think it is, a person who was part of the Twilight fan fiction community when the original version was written chimes in with a great explanation of how badly […]

It’s Not Just the Numbers; It’s The Story Behind The Numbers

I find increasingly that I have a few standard lines that I repeat to myself as little koans of wisdom.  One of these is “Don’t just look at the numbers; look to find the story behind the numbers.” This graphic, which is making the rounds on social media today, sums this idea up perfectly. A […]

…which is why I find this Tumblr so funny!

My Book Themed Interview

I saw an interview with author, Joshua Ferris, in a recent Entertainment Weekly and thought the series of book-themed questions they asked would be fun to answer for myself… Your Favourite Book As a Child “Child” usually means someone quite young  but honestly, the first book to come to mind when I read this question […]

When […]

28 Books You Should Read (If You Want To)

I’m probably one of the worst people for loving all of those “50 Books To Read Before You Die”, “10 Books Every Child Should Read”, “17 Books for a Summer Holiday” lists. I mean, they *do* comprise two of my most favouritist things in the world – books and lists. However, I think this list […]

Friday Fun Link – “Linda! Linda! You’re Not Listening to Me!”

God, I find this funny…

Friday Fun Link – Who Owns The Copyright to the World’s Most Retweeted Photo?

Ellen Degeneres arranged a “spontaneous” selfie with some heavy hitters at the recent Oscar telecast.  After tweeting it, it quickly crashed Twitter, became the most re-tweeted photo of all-time eclipsing Obama’s “Four More Years” tweet many times over, and becoming ripe for parody. But it also quickly led to a question about who owned the copyright to […]
