• Jason P. Howe

  I’m currently reading A House in the Sky, Amanda Lindhout’s memoir of the 460 days she spent as a hostage of Islamist insurgents in war-torn Somalia. So far it’s been utterly captivating, but I’ll save that for my review. Before she was kidnapped, Amanda went on assignment in Kandahar as a freelance photographer and war correspondent. There,…

• My friend the photographer

  I have an insanely talented photographer friend. His name is Alexander Torres. He was born in Venezuela, attended high school in England, studied in Montreal, and now lives in Vancouver working in the film industry. I think that his experience as a traveler shows in his work. He is incredibly talented. See for yourself. If you’re…

• I’m on a list!

  Remember back in July when I was doing my Games with All Lit Up posts? Well today is All Lit Up‘s first birthday and to celebrate they made a list of their top ten moments. My posts are number eight. I made the list! I’m not going to lie, this is pretty cool.

• What do you guys think?

  Should I purchase this book? It could be a fresh start for me. And it’s so affordable. My friend Adam doesn’t think it would really be a fresh start. He thinks it comes with a lot of baggage.

• Games with All Lit Up – Cycling

  After four weeks of competition—and some pretty amazing/head-shakingly bad sports puns—our PanLit Games are coming to a close with one final category: we’re taking it to the streets! No, we’re not talking dance (although that would have been amazing), we’re talking about cycling. Road cycling, popular since the late 1800s, is a test of stamina…

• Games with All Lit Up – Synchronized Swimming / Baseball / Gymnastics

  I finish what I start (unless, of course, I lose interest in season 7 of the Netflix show I’m binge watching, or the book I’m reading falls behind my dresser and my arms are too short to reach it—rest in peace, The Piano Shop on the Left Bank—or I’m bored with the pencil crayon colours I chose for my…

• I’d wear this.

  I know, I know. I’m two PanLit Games posts behind. I have no excuse, and I know you’re just bursting with anticipation. I need you to calm down and tame the calamity that is your mammaries. They’re coming. In the meantime, I present to you the hilarity that is this t-shirt design.

• My friends are awesome

  I’m super glad that of the millions of blogs out there, y’all are following my blog—you’re blowing up my ego to an almost insufferable size. So to counteract, I want to share with you some pretty ding dang darn radical (as in awesome, not crazy) blogs belonging to my friends: I am a writer who…
