As I always do before Hallowe’en, I’ve got a Hallowe’en playlist for you. But I also have a few fun Roundup items for you as well. When Harry Met Sally 2 with an amazing Helen Mirrin plot twist. And, our regularly scheduled programming:
OK, I know it isn’t the Foorteenth of Octobah, very early in the morning, but as close as it can be, The Box has to be the anchor for the Throwdown, right?
Next Monday is Canadian Thanksgiving and I’m taking the whole week off for the Autumn SwearyMissMary Shenaniganza Extravaganza! But before that can happen, I have to finish All The Things at work. And then I have to deal with the case of chicken carcasses on my kitchen floor (Mmmm. Future-Soup!) So there needs to be […]
Well, friends, I’m changing the format of Thursday Throwdown a bit – I used to give you 30ish minutes, now I’m going to give you a Top 10. I mean, 30 minutes is a nice, friendly way to tell time – I try to do a Outer Order, Inner Calm thing periodically over the week […]
Nananananana! You say it’s your birthday? Nananananana! It’s my birthday… erm… on Sunday. So you know the drill, the throwdown before my birthday is all about me!

There are leaves starting to collect on the windward side of the sidewalk, still bright as I crunch through them. This is my favourite time of year. Windows wide open […]
There was a bit of fluff that floated by on one of my social media feeds a while ago: You get a million dollars to sing a song, but you have to sing EVERY word correctly, by memory. And my tired mind was thinking about how many millions I could make by just scrolling through […]
Helllloooooo, September! September is my favourite month. The weather is friendly in that glorious place between too hot and too cold (whatever too cold even means. Sounds mythical to me.) September acts as a friendlier New Year than the shouty New Year in January. But really, more things start anew in September – school, arts […]
The tunes blasting out of the Music Express may have changed over the years, but some still show up on the soundtrack, no matter what year it is.
Ragweed is thick in the air right now, which means summer is nearly over. I don’t love the hot, hot, heat, so that doesn’t break my heart – I’m looking forward to the cold-cheeked days of fall and winter. But, there’s something undeniable about what the sun does for you. I’m kind of stuck inside […]
