Cauliflower Growing Tip April 12, 2023
I’ve been growing cauliflower for years, but only recently did I learn this cauliflower growing tip from a farmer friend of mine.

Fargo recap: One of the show's best, most cryptic episodes to date November 29, 2023
Last week, I mentioned that Fargo has always been a story about the distinctly human ability to ignore. Dot’s singular focus on making her house an impenetrable fortress is coming at the cost of her family’s trust (even the ones she’s trying to protect, however clumsily). Indira’s husband Lars seems plenty content to…Read more...

Since they took the Bourne series away, Paul Greengrass is taking a plane to the bottom of the ocean November 29, 2023
Last week, we heard that Universal was developing a new Jason Bourne movie, with All Quiet On The Western Front director Edward Berger and literally no one else—not even Matt Damon, Jason Bourne himself—attached yet. Now, in a move that is probably not the masterclass in high-level pouting that it kind of looks like,…Read more...

Lifetime's Christmas movies have taken a surprising stance on the whole sex scene debate November 29, 2023
The necessity of sex scenes in fiction has been a weirdly consistent talking point on the internet this year, with some people arguing that they’re uncomfortably voyeuristic and that the people involved—as in, the characters—may not have consented to being watched.

It’s that Time of Year: Getting Ready for Christmas November 27, 2023
As a Canadian, I celebrate Thanksgiving the second Monday in October, not the fourth Thursday in November. What does that mean? Essentially, it gives me more time to get ready for Christmas since I don’t have another holiday feast to prepare in what’s basically a four-week period. Whew! Since turkey is our traditional Christmas meal […]

If You Care About Privacy... June 22, 2023
If you care about privacy, please stop referring to "privacy advocates."

Letting go March 20, 2019
So...this beautiful island is our home. See the barky? The boys just had their spring break. A week off from school and nothing to keep us from buggering off in Galactic. The weather was generally poor - nothing like the pics above for the most part - so we just snuck off to the west […]

"Home" vs. "Away" May 20, 2022

I’ve probably had my last roti, checked out my last book at my local branch library, gone to my last art workshop. Horror of horrors, I’ve even watched my last play. The thing […]

Malnourished launches today January 21, 2020
It’s here. The big day. My memoir, the one I spent 15 years struggling over, launches today from Raised Voice Press. I’m feeling very exposed, very vulnerable. This is not at all similar to when Dolls Behaving Badly launched from Hachette Book Group. That was a novel, and while some of it was based on… […]
