Music Monday – “And the girls would spend a couple of bucks/Just to meet the boys workin’ at the pumps/And we’d pull up and fall in love/And they’ve all moved away”

Lots of famous musicians have recorded Fred Eaglesmith songs but he just happens to have recorded my favourite which reminds me so much of my high school years working in a small town gas station:

“White Rose” – Toby Keith

Secular Sunday – “I do rape all I want. And the amount I want to rape is zero. [The fact these people need to believe someone is watching over them to stop them raping and murdering is the most self-damning thing I can imagine.]”

Saturday Snap – Boba Tea

Sasha bought me a Boba Tea with part of a gift card she got from Christmas at the end of a day of errands including visiting multiple art galleries like the highly cultured pair that we are! 😉

Fun fact: Boba Tea costs more at Mosaic Stadium than draft beer! (This is actually not a fun fact – it’s a sad fact!)

ChronoPhoto is a game Pace showed up where you get points for guessing what year a photo is from as quickly as possible based on the style of the photo and what is portrayed in the image…

Who Said Non-Stop Playing Video Games Was Bad For You?

Incredibly proud of Pace who, along with two of his classmates from Thom Collegiate, got voted by his peers as having the second most popular video game in the video game class he took at Campus Regina!

The class had students from high schools all across Regina and 13 different games being demoed at the end of the year!

Beyond getting regular updates about the game’s progress, a highlight will always be a car ride home from an appointment where Pace excitedly took me through all the various drum loops and music samples that he had created.

And as a parent, I can’t help but wonder if this is a hint about a possible future career?

(I don’t think it helped but it was also cool to be able to work with the teacher to arrange a tour of Regina Public Library’s Digital Media Studio as a field trip!)
