Corner Gas tonight is an episode with blogs as a theme. Great show at the best of times but I find this one particularly funny. Hank starts a blog and thinks everybody's reading it but of course no one is. (Sound familiar? ) Oscar: “Yeah, I love your blob.”

The Beautiful South, Calgary at Detroit, and Death of A President
Tonight, one of my favourite Britpop bands, The Beautiful South is playing in Toronto. They're a piano-based group who write melodies like Burt Bacharach but lyrics like Elvis Costello (or somebody even more sarcastic and bitter.) I'd thought about going but between all the work I'm trying to get done (even though it's research week) […]
Daylight Saving My Streak Time
Shea and I whipped into Toronto today to attend the Baby and Toddler Show this afternoon. A bit disappointing in terms of the number of exhibitors but this is probably a case of us being really early in the pregnancy mixed with the fact that they weren't giving out free books like the last time […]

Back at the Ranch…
Vote Jim Holmes, executive member of the Friends of the RPL, for mayor of Regina. A friend of mine in Regina has been doing a great job of tracking some of the improprieties of current mayor, Pat Fiasco Fiacco on the “Politics 'n' Poetry” blog (and yes, those two things do go together and should […]
Family History
Does this handsome devil look familiar? Spent a few hours working on the family history project I have to do for my genealogy class last night. Luckily, not one but two of my family members have done some research so that's a big help. I'm still waiting for one to send me her stuff but […]
GG Award Winner, Art Slade, Coming To FIMS – All Details Finalized!
Below is an e-mail I just sent out to the department’s mailing list. I really *really* want a good crowd out for this event so I have a mission for you, faithful readers. I want you to subtly (and not so subtly) do everything you can to make sure we have a standing room […]
Saskatchewan Songs
I compiled a list of Saskatchewan songs for a fellow student so thought I would post it here as a counterpoint to my SW Ontario playlist entry. (This is not an exhaustive list by any means – feel free to add others in the comments section.)“Last Sask Pirate” – Captain Tractor/Arrogant Worms “Roll On, Saskatchewan” […]
9/11 Five Years Later
Woke up at 8am today to watch the real-time video stream of CNN's coverage from five years ago that they're showing all day today.
Here's my own real-time coverage, a chat I had that morning with the person who took over from me at the Sask Publishers Group
