Change is Good…Just Not Small Change…As in the Smallest Change…

Well, it happened Canada; the day we finally pulled the plug on the penny. After years and years (and years) of storing pennies in water jugs, piggy banks, coffee mugs, repurposed ash trays, bottom of desk drawers, it’s done. The war on pennies is finally over, and we’ve won. Or lost, depending on how you feel about pennies. I’m indifferent, really, though I will admit … Continue reading Change is Good…Just Not Small Change…As in the Smallest Change…

Watching The Superbowl

I am neither old nor a chap! In the end, Beyoncé was definitely the best … Continue reading Watching The Superbowl

English Lit with a Twist

Viewing the world through beer-tinted glasses. . At the risk of coming across like a bit of a boozer, I’m going to write another alcoholic post. Because nothing spruces up a situation like a little bit of the drink, I thought it would be fun to re-imagine some of the English language’s greatest literary works as if they were written from a boozy point of … Continue reading English Lit with a Twist

Humour, People

Scarethetic = Scary + Pathetic

As someone who needs to wear glasses at all times to have even a chance of seeing anything, I can tell you that one of the scariest and simultaneously most pathetic things that can happen to you is falling asleep with your glasses on and waking up without them. There is an initial moment where you feel around on your night stand in the general … Continue reading Scarethetic = Scary + Pathetic

Chevrons

I’ve never been fashionable, or stylish, or even trendy but I know what I like (most of the time) and I’m saying it right here and now, I love chevrons. First of all, the word chevron is amazing. Shhhhevron. Second, chevrons can turn garbage into gold! Clothes, walls, furniture, EVERYTHING looks good in chevron! Here are just a few (too many) things to illustrate my … Continue reading Chevrons
