Music Monday – “C’mon, C’mon”

Here’s a clip of the band we went to see last Friday night. The name of the song isn’t given and I feel like my 17 year old self listening to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” trying to make out the lyrics so you only get the most basic of lyric excerpts as the title of […]

Happy First Birthday Sasha Basha!

Hard to believe it’s been a year since a very important milestone in my life. Yes, it’s exactly one year ago today that I got my Most Liked post ever on Facebook!  (I posted a picture of Sasha immediately after she was born in the delivery room.  Okay, not *immediately* after she was born!) When […]

Ten Random Thoughts

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 […]

Random Thoughts on #WrestlemaniaXXX Tonight #spoilers

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 […]

Pirate Bay’s Longest Surviving Torrent Turns 10 Years Old

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 […]

“Friends and Family in the News” Edition

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 […]

Ten Things That Make Me Happy These Days

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, […]

Music Monday – “Sleep pretty darling/Do not cry/And I will sing/A lullabye”

One of my and Sasha’s go-to bedtime songs… “Golden Slumbers” – Paul McCartney

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 […]

How Pro Wrestling Prepared Me For The 21st Century

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 […]
