@ryanmeili Music Monday – “We had a lot of fun/We had a lot of money”

As I continue the transition from a blog that was “all politics, all the time” for much of the last six months to one that’s back to being a bit more balanced between the posts about libraries, technology, family and yes, still the occasional political post, I thought I’d start by resurrecting one of my […]

Dr. @ryanMeili is Putting the “Hospital” in “Hospitality” at the #skndpldr Convention ;-)

For some reason, the campaign didn’t want to use that “putting the hospital in “hospitality” line” for their invitations and instead went with something classy and dignified as befitting the next leader of the Saskatchewan NDP.  Can you imagine? Anyhow, if you’re in Saskatoon for convention, why not stop by Ryan’s hospitality suite (and those […]

Friday Fun Link – Which Fan Theories Blew Your Mind With Their Logic?

Fan theories are alternate ideas/interpretations for movies, music, books, etc. One of the top-rated AskReddit threads of all time asked for people’s favourites.  That got responses including this one which blew my mind.  (Warning: these fan theories often will change your perspective on beloved pop culture items in a way that you’ll never be able […]

The Cowboy Junkies Have The Right Idea…

My Facebook feed was filled with people talking about the weather, posting screen grabs of The Weather Network (did we really hit-50 with wind chill?  Was Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan really the coldest place on the planet today?  Was the average temperature in Saskatchewan closer to the surface temperature on Mars than in Toronto?  Yes to […]

Friday Fun Link – 2012 in Four Minutes

I’m not sure whether to be proud or sad that I caught the vast majority of the references in this video…  (If you prefer text links, this one has many of the same memes in the video.  And here’s a summary of the year from a Canadian perspective.)

2012 “End-of-Year Questions” Meme: Hawaiian Paradise, Kindergarten Kid, and “It’s (Going To Be) A Girl”

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Saw a photo of the brain of someone I know! Shea’s nephew has had a variety of health issues for the past five years including numerous seizures. This year, he was taken to Vancouver for some operations to address these, as yet, undiagnosed […]

Friday Fun Link – 40 Song Xmas Song Medley

If, like me, you’re not quite ready to let Christmas go for another year, here’s a video medley of a bunch of different Christmas songs (bonus for the number of UK-centric Christmas songs that are a bit less well known on this side of the pond): (via /r/christmasmusic.  You may also want to check out […]

Saturday Snap – Holiday Concert

Pace saw a YouTube video of the song he’s doing for his school Christmas holiday concert and decided he needed to jazz up his look too!

Sappy Sunday – The Saddest Christmas Song Ever?

A lot of comments about his one in a recent MetaFilter thread about sad Christmas movies, TV & music.

Music Thursday?

So MeiliMondays have replaced Music Monday for the last couple months which is cool and fine but makes me want to just post a really awesome song now and again. This little clip, a song I’m sure I’ve posted before but can’t find because I cleverly post song lyrics instead of song titles for those […]
