Not sure if the anti-bullying Pink Shirt Day worked for Pace. He called me a “stupid noob” when I got home then gave me a double shot to the stomach! Time to cut back on the Minecraft I guess… 😉 Talking to people who don’t live in Libraryland often makes me realise that librarians are […]
Here are some random thoughts on the 30th anniversary of the biggest wrestling pay-per-view of all-time… – *loved* the opening HHH vs. Daniel Bryan match and its placement on the card too after some people speculated that it would be right before the main event Triple Threat match which would’ve been really dumb in my […]
I would’ve guessed the longest lasting torrent would’ve been The Anarchist Cookbook (uhm, probably a bad idea to link to that, eh?) 😉 but it’s not. Instead, it’s RECIPES!!! Exactly ten years ago a Pirate Bay user uploaded a torrent linking to “Top Secret Recipes” ebooks. Today, this torrent is the oldest surviving torrent file […]
Saskatchewan Naval Commander Helps Drug Bust Victoria Divita, only the fourth woman in history to command a Canadian Naval vessel, is from Indian Head. I grew up with Victoria (though I knew her as “Vickie”), she was in my sister’s grade, a couple years younger than me, and in fact, her older brother was best […]
I’ve recently rediscovered hummus. God, that stuff is addictive! The local hard rock radio station playing German quasi-death metal on my drive back to work after lunch recently = Jason has a very productive afternoon! 😉 I’ve mentioned this before but getting to come home for lunch every day is beyond awesome. That’s partly because, […]
One of my and Sasha’s go-to bedtime songs… “Golden Slumbers” – Paul McCartney
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 […]
As I may have mentioned on this blog before, I grew up watching professional wrestling. When I was around 7 or 8 years old, it was pretty amazing to see heavily-muscled, fantastically-named guys like the super-heroes I read about in comic books – whether good guys (The Dynamite Kid) or bad (The Mongolian Stomper, The […]
Hard to believe but yesterday marks one year since the most recent NDP Leadership convention where Ryan Meili lost to the eventual winner, Cam Broten, by just 44 votes (less than 1% of all votes cast). As a cathartic process after the loss, I’d compiled a list of “44 Reasons We Lost” in my personal […]
Wikipedia summary of cast members with timeline Another list of casts by year on a fan site Cast photos by year (via Reddit) Probably like a lot of people, I feel most strongly about the casts I watched when I was in my formative years circa 1989-1991 or so – Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, […]
