In Which I Use Pierre Poilievre To Teach An Important Lesson

I don’t have a clue what Pierre Poilievre looks like, but jesus christ, that voice! Gaaaaah! Every time I hear him talk, there are two thoughts I can’t shake: Even if we agreed on every issue in the world, I’d still want to slap the crap out of him. If you told me a guy …

Some Things I Wrote Down

I thought I was finally starting to get a bit better at the posting thing again, but I’ve hit another wall, it seems. So maybe I’ll try jotting some stuff down and posting it when it feels right. Making myself do this in the usual ways hasn’t worked in years, so maybe this will. It’ll …

Wow! Is That A Mockingbird?

There was this funny video that we couldn’t stop watching when we had Christmas with Steve’s family. It was only a short, but we couldn’t stop laughing.

A Few Uplifting Words To Play Over Someone else’s Car Speakers

I didn’t wake up thinking that I was in a particularly down mood today, but I must be. I say that because I remember a time when I would read a story like this one here about a carjacker who was identified because he connected his phone to the car’s Bluetooth, say to myself something …

Sleep Talkin’ 5. The Bit, I Believe, Is Still Alive!

In our last installment of let’s make fun of what Carin says in her sleep, I thought this little bit would be a thing of the past now that Santa had arrived. But apparently, it still has some life in it, although a little less. There’s one interesting pattern we have noticed: if there is …
