It’s a lowkey Saturday night in, and I’m thinking about getting an early night. I flipped my mattress and changed my sheets earlier (to the jersey-knit t-shirt sheets, mm), so it should be a wonderful sleep once I crawl under my covers. It’s barely 9 and I’m already looking forwards to bed.
I’m torn between sleeping [...]

I’m a Godfather addict. I love all three volumes of that brilliant cinematic series.
I was a mafia-mad kid from a young, young age, and I loved the romance of storied criminals from the early 20th century. I was so obsessed I even dressed up as John Dillinger and later Al Capone for Halloween in [...]

Oh, I’m a loud girl when I’m getting it on! My poor neighbours — I’ve been shouting for 20+ minutes as the clock wound down in my city’s play-off final. Game 7 in Stanley Cup hockey play-offs just doesn’t get better unless it’s to go to the Cup final itself! In a tight motherfucker of [...]

So, I’ve been saying for a while that I needed a change in luck. When I got my camera back after losing it on a bus, I figured I might just have turned that long-ass corner into the land of the Fortunate. Here’s more news.
When I found out about a month ago that my scooter [...]

This Don Imus debate is raging longer than I thought it would. It’s a catalyst for something bigger, or so I’m hoping. It’s interesting, because, being the whore that I am for Oprah’s more insightful shows (not the lame celebrity crap), she’s been tackling the drama from the perspective of just how denigrating (African-American) culture [...]

I haven’t been writing a lot lately. You may have noticed. Jotting down a few ideas is a far cry from “writing”. When I’ve “written”, you’ll know it.
I don’t know if my writing’s any good on the cosmic scale of literary ass-kicking, but I know it’s usually honest, and that’s something I can be proud [...]

Wow. So, there you have it: The public voice of dissent can actually affect big business.
Don Imus got a slap on the wrist, and after advertising dollars listened to the voices of outrage clamouring over the warhorse deejay’s comments about the “nappy-headed hos” on a college b-ball team, he’s been uncerimoniously canned, without even a [...]

My sexy beast of a camera has been turned in to the transit authority! I’m off for a scooter ride to pick that beast up!
Funny, I was walking around on Monday looking for it, hoping to NOT find it on the ground as it had rained, and I thought “You know, all I need is [...]

Boohoo. Someone stole my beloved camera! The thing’s a month old. Sigh. Fuck!
So, needless to say, I’m not particularly feeling the writing love… so bear with me as I take a day to get my senses back together. This has been sort of a no-brainer long weekend after all — taking time out to chill [...]

One more day. Then, gratitude to be Canadian & have a four-day weekend. Hurray for Easter! Long live the bunny.
My last weekend was a stupidly emotional one. My fault. Bad attitude and I let my fears get the best of me. My head’s screwed back on good and proper, and my coming weekend is going [...]

Hey, boys & girls. I haven’t been in a good mood these past two or three days, so I’ve been keeping to myself. I plan to write tonight, though, so I should have something new tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s something else to read.The best of this weeks blogs by the bloggers who blog them. [...]
