Music Monday – “And the girls would spend a couple of bucks/Just to meet the boys working at the pumps/And they’d grow up and fall in love/And they’d all move away.”

Here’s one of the songs I taped at the Fred Eaglesmith show on Saturday night (which just happens to be one of my favourite Fred Eaglesmith songs of all-time.) “White Rose” – Fred Eaglesmith Actually, speaking of my favourite Fred songs, why not turn this post into a list? Jason’s Top 10 Fred Eaglesmith Songs 1. […]

(Belated) Saturday Snap – Random Thoughts on the New #riders #MosaicStadium #yqr

(My “Saturday Snap” name has never seemed more appropriate as I post some thoughts and photos of our visit to the new Mosaic Stadium.  I meant to have these up Saturday night but supper with friends after the game then an awesome Fred Eaglesmith concert meant I didn’t finish this post until Sunday.) — Shea […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Crunching Leaves (September 2010)

The Breakfast Club Cast as Social Media Sites

I always did identify with Brian right down to having a very shitty experience in shop class (er, if anybody hasn’t seen the movie, Brian’s the character on the far left, not the far right!) 😉

Music Monday – “Polly wants a cracker/I think I should get off her first/I think she wants some water/To put out the blow torch”

Nirvana’s “Nevermind”, released on September 24, 1991, is 25 years old.  (I feel old.) “Polly” (isolated vocals) – Kurt Cobain

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland (August 2006)

Since I’ve got a bit of a rock & roll theme going this week with the various posts about RPL’s 50th “Retro” Anniversary Party featuring Rory Allen this Saturday from 1-4pm, I thought I’d post a picture of me outside the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland…

Saturday Snap – Me on CBC

Got fairly short notice (just over an hour) invitation from RPL’s Marketing Unit who needed someone to go on CBC Radio’s “Blue Sky” noon hour program to talk about books we’re recommending these days and other topics yesterday. Since I’m a good guy, always eager to help a colleague who’s in a bind plus not uncomfortable […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My First Day of Work at Regina Public Library (Sept 8, 2008)

Hard to believe that today is my eight year anniversary of working at Regina Public Library. Our Director even brought me cake.  Well, technically donuts.  And technically not for me but leftovers from an all-day meeting he was in at our branch.  But a guy can pretend, right? 😉 Anyhow, here’s a horrible posed photo […]

Saturday Snap – Katepwa Pier Crew

Always a bittersweet day when we do the many end-of-season chores at our family cottage at Katepwa Lake.  We were out yesterday to bring in the piers, boat track and sea doo stand, clear out the water lines, cut the grass, load the boat, etc. etc. It was great to have one of my funniest, favouritist cousins […]

Friday Fun Link – Better Motherfucking Website

Back in the day, I was quite obsessed with web design and user-interfaces and even made some extra spending money for a while as a web designer (this is back around 1997 when, if you could get a picture to show up on a web page, people thought you were amazing!) 😉 My knowledge and […]
