We're back from our trip (actually, have been back since last Thursday night but I was enjoying my blog holiday too much to start posting right away.) But today was back to work and so I'll get back to working on my blog as well. I'm not sure if the blog holiday will influence how […]

Music Monday – "The Golden Rim Motor Inn/Soft water and a colour TV/Can’t afford the luxury"
You probably shouldn’t base your motel selections on twenty year old Tragically Hip songs but when they end up having views like this… …you should just send Gord Downie a thank-you note and be done with it! Might be time to update the lyrics though – “Outdoor patio and (now) free WiFi/(Still) can’t afford the […]
Music Monday – "When nobody else would stay/I would/When nobody else would pray/I would"
[Edit: Seeing some reports that the taping is on June 14 and the show will be broadcast on June 18. I always thought Letterman taped around suppertime for broadcast the same day so jokes, etc. were timely but just to be safe, you may watch to watch both nights.] Fred Eaglesmith is about to be […]
Saccarine Sunday – Eight Month Old Has Cochlear Implants Turned On For the First time
This is pretty amazing and heart-melting.(via MetaFilter which has a good discussion of the implications for the deaf community, many of whom are opposed to this type of operation. Man, I never would've thought there was any question about doing something like this!)
Music Monday – "There she goes again/Mixing melody with a memory/She's got a song for everything/Everywhere she's been, everyone she's pleased"
iTunes Canada has a free single of the week and this week happens to be local Regina indy buzz band, Library Voices, who are sort of a western Canadian version of Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene or dare I say it, Polyphonic Spree – any of those recent bands (“collectives” would probably be a better […]
Music Monday – "When the good times never stay/And the cheap thrills/Always seem to fade away"
A great part of 90's college rock (and gotta love the Dennis Miller intro too!)…
Happy Third Birthday, Pace!
Stupid YouTube blocked the audio on this stupid video because I used a stupid Oasis song as the backing track. So there was a bit of a delay (which you might not even notice since I'm backdating this post to May 19 when the video was supposed to go up, dagnabit!) so I could get […]
Tuesday Tunes – "From the happy/Day I met you/Made a bet/I was gonna get you"
This is my favourite song from my favourite 8-track in my parent's collection when I was growing up. (Ah, K-Tel, is there anything you couldn't do?)
