I Have Loose Lips, Doo Doo Doo Doo…

Ever since Dave left CJOY, we haven’t had the desire to listen to it in the mornings anymore. I’m sure the guy who replaced him is trying his level best, but he’s just not Dave and it shows. So, we started listening to CKWR, and it’s kind of fun because they have so much more …

I Will Go…Nowhere Near This Ever Again!

I was in a cab, and this atrocity assaulted my ears. Uuuuuuuuuug! I could end this post right here, because that is a horrible version of a beautiful song, but there is so much more I have to say. First, just in case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s the original. I’m not usually …

Please Do Not Spend $80 On An App Powered Coffee Mug

I have a cup or two of tea or hot chocolate pretty much every morning. And because I am an easily distracted person, sometimes I forget that it’s sitting there and by the time I want a sip, it’s freezing and I have to heat it up. So the thought of a mug that would …

Would You Rather…?

She sent in a bunch of odd scenarios under the subject “Which would you rather?”, so I’m going to try to decide. Let’s see how this goes.
