  • Monday? RUNday.

    I’m back at it. Although I hate to admit it, I haven’t done much exercise since my last running post. Today was a different story. It was gorgeous out. I’ve taken myself back to Week 7 of the C25K program. I figure it’ll be good for me to get my bearings again before I go…

  • Freestyle Food: Chocolate Greek Yogurt…Something.

    Confession: One of the reasons that I’m suddenly on an exercise kick is that I’ve decided once and for all to eliminate my muffin top. Every now and then for inspiration I look up different images on Pinterest. This morning I found a photo featuring a comment that mentioned Muffin-Topless. I don’t know if it…

  • Sloppy sourcing?

    You know what? I warn kids about using Wikipedia as a reference when they’re working on projects. But I do it all the time when I blog. It’s official. I’m one of those “Do as I say, not as I do” adults.

  • Meet Downton Abbey’s Daddy

    In my hunt for content, I realize I’ve got perfectly good drafts floating around. Here’s a musing of mine from a few weeks back. This weekend, I watched Gosford Park. I looked at it three times: Twice on Saturday, and a bit more on Sunday while I did my hair. Like Downton Abbey, it focuses…

  • “Pew, pew, pew!!”

    I still haven’t seen The Avengers. But this video makes me wish I had.

  • For the fellas:

    Poking around the web this morning, I came upon Gentlemint. I haven’t checked it out much. But I figure it’ll come in handy if you want your man to use Pinterest, but he won’t ’cause he thinks it’s too girly.

  • Go the “F” Outside.

    Remember Go the F*ck to Sleep? My Damn Channel says this video is like that, except it’s about nature. I’m inclined to agree. 😉

  • “A little sweat ain’t never hurt nobody.”

    Thus sayeth Beyoncé. And man, I rocked it today. I didn’t run at all last week. I’m still working my way through C25K. And even though I didn’t go on Monday, Wednesday and today I hit the road. I went early. It was just after 7. I keep fantasizing about going around 5 o’clock. But…

  • Need a theatre break?

    Me too. This season at Soulpepper, Krystin Pellerin was in You Can’t Take It With You. The show’s all packed up now. But…A while ago, I watched the following video. Krystin and her co-star (Eric Peterson) mentioned a line that rings true to me. Life is kind of beautiful if you just let it come…

  • Tech Talk: Welcome to the iSide

    I don’t understand the Apple hate. I really, really don’t. Several weeks ago, my phone’s contract was about to expire. I decided to step into the smartphone world. I did my best to research the three main players–Android, Blackberry, and iPhone. You see, I’d fantasized forever about getting an iPhone. I’ve owned a Macbook for…
