It’s Halloween time, so as one would expect, many ghostly happenings have been … happening.
A few nights ago I had a lovely date night with myself. I got some snacks and some wine, turned off all the lights except for a single candle, and sat down to watch a scary movie. I’d never seen The [...]

I Hope You and This Blog Post “CLICK”

There’s a sign in the bathroom at school that shows a woman holding her hands up, with the areas where bacteria and poop accumulate highlighted on them. Below this, it reads:
Infection prevention is “IN YOUR HANDS.”
I find it hilarious, because like, imagine someone saying this in real life. “Hey, wanna practice safe hand-washing techniques? [...]
Algonquin Trip 2009

“I hope something terrible happens that changes our perspective on life forever.”
That’s the tongue in cheek text message I sent to Geoff, the organizer of the canoe trip, the day before we set off. It quickly became apparent that the universe failed to pick up on the sarcasm.
We set out in pouring rain and it [...]
Joel Plaskett at Aeolian Hall, July 16th

Joel Plaskett played last week at Aeolian Hall. It was a fantastic show; the dude is ridiculously talented. For the majority of the concert, he played completely solo, just him singing and one of three different guitars.
Aeolian Hall is tiny, so everyone at the sold-out show got good seats. It felt very intimate, with Plaskett [...]

I am of the firm opinion that the zombie walk phenomenon is the best thing to ever happen to the world. I’m so glad that London has one every year now. I managed to make it out yesterday, albeit as a puny human and not a zombie. Here are some pictures.
I love how [...]

One of London’s oldest bars, The Wick, was secretly smashed with a wrecking ball on Sunday. The whole situation is extremely sketchy. The demolition started just before a meeting planned to discuss the building’s future as a protected heritage site. It was so rushed that utilities weren’t even shut off, and there was still beer [...]
Mikey Likes It?

Growing up with the name Mike, and not being very picky about food, I often hear the phrases “give it to Mikey! He’ll eat anything!” and “Mikey likes it!”
The thing is, has anybody actually seen the Life Cereal commercial these phrases come from? Look:
Neither phrase is actually spoken in the [...]
