Vacation

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

I’m in the middle of vacation. It’s not really vacation per say, as I am only asked for two days off work. (Well, really, four in a row, but big whoopdi do. I get two days off in a week anyway.) I’m at my parents place in Winnipeg, and had a crazy time this afternoon [...]

Guests

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

In the last post ‘In The Words Of…’ I tried my hand at something I’ve never really done before. I know a lot of people do podcasting. And those people have guests that they talk with and interview so that listeners can listen to. I thought that it was neat. And wanted to come up [...]

Music

Friday, February 5th, 2010

I find it extremely hard, almost to the point where it is impossible, to write without music. I grew up with music. My first memories with music is my Ma putting on Cher, Laura Brannigan, Kenny Rogers, or Dolly Porton. My Da would usually listen to The Police. I listen to NIN, Vitas, Loreena McKennit, [...]
