    Da na na naaaaaaaa na na na. Na nuh na na naaaaaaa. Go see this movie. If you have the opportunity, go see it with Kennedy Cullen. Both are highly entertaining, if not a little ridiculous, and I mean that in the best way possible. And it’s always a pleasure to watch Daniel Craig… and…

  • The End of the Alphabet by CS Richardson

    I don’t know that I could ever say it better than The Calgary Herald did: “Nothing less than gorgeous … Evocative and unforgettable, it manages to arouse both a longing for travel and a longing for home … It is beautiful. Both inside and out.” No. 16 on my challenge, in the sense that I went…

  • Father John Misty

    I recently found my iPod that I haven’t updated since 2012. Listening to it reminded me that I love Father John Misty. And that I love this song. So happy Monday, folks!

  • Going on a ghost hunt?

    You may be interested in this map I made: And maybe in the books that go with it (that I did not write. Robert C. Belyk wrote them): There! Now all you have to do is click on the pictures, buy the books, print out the map, and go creepin! THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION…

  • Beasts of the Southern Wild

    This entire film rests on the shoulders of a very young girl and, let me tell you, she carries the weight of it like The Mountain carried the 1,400 pound log that broke a 1,000 year old Viking Strongman record. Quvenzhané Wallis has monstrous talent, and I think the uniqueness of this movie did everything to showcase…

  • What to do in the event you wake up Tuesday morning and Stephen Harper is still Prime Minister

    Originally posted on Drinking Tips for Teens: [sigh…] 1. Remain calm. 2. Check for structural damage. 3. Be prepared for aftershocks and gloating. 4. Deal with any minor injuries, including cuts, sprains and ideological collapse. 5. Take two minutes to weep in silence behind closed doors so as not to alarm the children. 6. Eat…

  • Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess)

    I loved so many things about this book. First: LOOK at the cover and endpapers. It’s hard not to instantly love a book that puts a smile on your face just by looking at the cover, and then makes you laugh out loud before you read even a single word. Second: The Bloggess is hilarious even…
