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 […]
Music Monday – “A monster, a monster/I’ve turned into a monster/A monster, a monster/And it keeps getting stronger”
Continuing with the Wrestlemania XXX theme I started yesterday, here’s a really cool video package about the rise of the underdog, Daniel Bryan, from wrestling in high school gyms and armouries to winning the WWE World Title at the 30th Anniversary Wrestlemania card in front of 80,000 screaming fans… “Monster” – Imagine Dragons
Music Monday – “I want to be a happy boy/This means you must employ my lies”
“October Swimmer” – JJ72
Music Monday – “Begosh and begorra/Ev’ry Irish son and daughter/Ev’ry good old Irish name and his relation”
Thanks to community radio for bringing this song to my awareness a couple days ago. Useless trivia: the song doesn’t mention “Murphy” in the long list of Irish names it features even though “Murphy” is the most common surname in Ireland. Happy St. Paddy’s everyone! “It’s A Great Day For The Irish” – Judy Garland
Music Monday – “There’s a light/And I can see it in your eyes/There’s a memory of/The way you used to be”
Hard to believe but yesterday marks one year since the most recent NDP Leadership convention where Ryan Meili lost to the eventual winner, Cam Broten, by just 44 votes (less than 1% of all votes cast). As a cathartic process after the loss, I’d compiled a list of “44 Reasons We Lost” in my personal […]
Music Monday – “Music loud and women warm/I’ve been kicked around/Since I was born.”
Bruce Springsteen has been covering songs by local artists during various stops on his Australian tour – INXS, AC/DC and Lorde. Oh, and this one… “Staying Alive” – Bee Gees (Bruce Springsteen cover)
Saturday Snap – Rock and Roll!
I sometimes think the only reason we have kids is to teach them cute tricks. Sasha has a few – when you say “Are you cute?”, she’ll tilt her head at 90 degrees (usually), if you ask how big she is, she’ll throw both arms up over her head (usually), she can wave when prompted […]
Music Monday – “The UK has the monarchy/The US has the money/But I know that you wanna be Canadian”
I bookmarked this song a long time ago but don’t think I ever posted it. Seems appropriate in light of Canada’s recent success in the Winter Olympics. “Canadian Please”. (If memory serves, this was made by students at UWO where I did my MLIS.)
Music Monday – “Oh please/Say to me/You’ll let me be your man”
Yesterday was the 50th Anniversary of The Beatles’ first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show where they performed to a record-setting audience of 70 million people. Here’s a clip from one of their performances that night… “I Want To Hold Your Hand” – The Beatles
