Music Monday – “Girl I saw on Facebook that Mike proposed/That’s bullshit baby, I know you know/I know my chances are getting right slim/You ain’t gotta marry me, just don’t marry him”

“I Saw On Facebook (That Mike Proposed)” – Donovan Woods

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 15th Birthday Pace!

Hard to believe this video montage I made of pics from when Pace was born is from fifteen years ago! (Also hard to believe it’s my most viewed video of all-time with nearly 50,000 views but I attribute that more to using a Loretta Lynn song than people being interested in pics of Baby Pace!) […]

Music Monday – “Facing off with gophers/Man it ain’t the same/As being home at the Saddledome/For the Oilers and the Flames”

This song which mentions the Flames vs. Oilers feels appropriate after the Flames heart-stopping OT win in Game 7 versus Dallas which triggers the first playoff Battle of Alberta since 1991… A couple other Oilers/Flames themed songs…

The New Corporation – Documentary

It was pretty cool to go to the world premier of an anti-corporate documentary called “The Corporation” at the Calgary International Film Festival twenty years ago which featured a Q&A with the filmmakers after the screening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpQYsk-8dWg It’s less cool that this film has an “unfortunately necessarily” sequel released a couple years ago…

Music Monday – “What do you want to do?/I’m scared to even say the truth/This has been the hardest year/Is it even legal here?”

Music Monday – “The last goal he ever scored/Won the Leafs the Cup/They didn’t win another till 1962/The year he was discovered”

Music Monday – “She got a six-six-six/I’ve got my crucifix/She’s got a spinning head/Like seeing grateful dead”

“Greedy Soul” – Liam Gallagher

Friday Fun Link – 2022 Sask Book Awards Shortlist Announcement

I wasn’t able to pop over for the live announcement like I usually do (and with current Covid stats in Sakatchewan, maybe that’s okay too?) But nice to have an archived livestream of this year’s SBA shortlist announcement… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilAhyjfkLao

Friday Sad Link – RIP Mike Bossy (1957-2022)

Sad to hear that my absolute favourite NHL player of all-time, Mike Bossy, passed away today after a lengthy battle with lung cancer (almost unbelievably, one of the greatest goal scorers of all-time was also a heavy smoker, especially early in his career.) How much did I admire Bossy?  To this day, I used “22” […]
