Today is the last day of July and I feel compelled to write a blog post just so I can say I posted something in July; I hate to let a whole month go by without writing something, I just haven’t found the time. There’s a culture of busyness right now, where people feel like being busy makes you a better person, or an important person—being … Continue reading Busy Isn’t Better
Because, apparently I only blog about Choir!, here’s another one! We’ve taken over the CBC this Christmas season with appearances on The National, Sunday Edition, and Q with Jian Ghomeshi. All in the name of promoting our charity single (available now on iTunes (< click to buy it for yourself or as a gift). Check out all of our appearances (bless you, YouTube): The National’s “Only … Continue reading C!C!CBC!
I want to blog! I want to write more! I want to share stories and pictures! Something always stops me. I have this self-imposed “rule” that I don’t like to post things non-chronologically. (I have only really broken this rule to post my Paris journals, because it took me a while to get around to typing them out.) So, if I did something really awesome … Continue reading Time Is My Enemy
I was just thinking I haven’t written a blog in a while. I could write about anything. It could be grand. It should be grand! I could spin a yarn about friends, intergalactic space travel, otherworldly adventures, be the next great comic genius, write about kittens! I could do any of these things! I could start now! I should start now! I WILL START NOW! … Continue reading I was just thinking…
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
For all the things that are great about Halloween—the candy, the costumes, the decorations—there a few things that I hate. Besides the pressure to come up with a really great costume, I absolutely hate Halloween puns. Normally I am a fan of punny word play, but there is one Halloween word that is so overused I can’t stand the sight or sound of it any … Continue reading Hallowhiney
The air is crisp with an autumn chill and summer is but a fading memory. Like many sun-revellers, I am not quite ready to give up the summer season. Unfortunately, save for championing global warming, there’s not much I can do to stop the weather from changing. One thing I can do, however, is to feign seasonal ignorance, break all the fashion rules, and paint … Continue reading So Long Summer Style
This might sound wild, possibly unbelievable, but it was only recently, maybe three years ago, that I actually understood, or believed I understood, the joke “Why did the chicken cross the road?” When you hear something so often growing up, it just becomes ingrained in your mind, it becomes something that just is, no need to explain it, no need to even think that it … Continue reading Answering the Age Old Question
If you think I’m not blogging enough, you’re wrong! You’re dead wrong! Ok, well maybe I could blog more but I AM blogging for other websites, so let’s not discount that!
