FAT HER’S DAY SALE

June 10, 2014

Beyoncé’s drunk in love with a real person, whatever works. I’m married to dark chocolate covered almonds and I’ve been snacking, I’ve been snacking. Can’t keep my fingers off them, I want it annulled. Woke up on the bathroom scale crying, How the hell did this shit happen, oh food baby!? So, it’s on the […]

Word on the Street Last Sunday on my Phone #TorontoBookFairs

September 25, 2012

I took the streetcar and right at Queen’s Park, there’s a Tim’s. Perfect. It would still be hot by the time I got to my buddy’s booth. I sold one of his ceramic trillium paperweights, handed out bookmarks and tried Malaysian food for the first time. The beef roti-like wrap I had was totally worth […]

http://awesomepeoplereading.tumblr.com/ I had a beef shawarma plate in my bag. Was able to snap this pic riding the bus home for lunch of the pregnant dog who totally noticed. What I’m reading now. Out today! Thanks for the tweet Harlequin. Light, not-a-morning-person reading for commute to work or whatever. I watched this for breakfast.

“Can you even imagine?”: Freedom to Read Week February 26-March 3, 2012

February 4, 2012

Censorship, it’s worrying. Freedom to read can never be taken for granted. Even in Canada, a free country by world standards, books and magazines are banned at the border. Books are removed from the shelves in Canadian libraries, schools and bookstores every day. Free speech on the Internet is under attack [like that Wikipedia blackout!]. […]

‘J’ is for Julio and Jumpy Cows: An Exercise in Reading Comprehension and a 26-Part Series

November 30, 2011

Julio is special. He’s my nephew.  Of course that’s why he’s special but that’s not all.  He’s really cute, not even three and my very first nephew ever! Plus, he’s actually cool, smart and super enthusiastic.  Especially about reading. “Julio? “Mmm…” “Excuse me, but, did that cow just jump over the MOON?” “That’s right!  I’m not […]

Academics and Paranoid Schizophrenics, Can You Even Believe This Jonathan Kay Guy?

October 3, 2011

If given the opportunity, some might say, “Dude, you’re not paranoid enough” when meeting Jonathan Kay. But that’s because HarperCollins published the book he wrote that we sell called Among the Truthers, A Journey into the Growing Conspiracist Underground of 9/11 Truthers, Birthers, Armagedonnites, Vaccine Hysterics, Hollywood Know-Nothings and Internet Addicts. I said, “Thanks for partnering with us […]

Enchanté Gravatar, Have We Met?

August 24, 2011

2

I bump into gravatars all the time. It’s the same with people in the way that I remember their face and not the name of their blog.  It’s not the same with gravatars in the way that I don’t feel pressured to introduce them to the person I’m with because I’m usually alone when reading through […]

Good morning, WordPress Atheists, is it Really True You’re Better in Bed than Believers?

August 19, 2011

Mail Online, a popular UK online paper says you are. I wouldn’t know. I’ve only been with people who don’t believe in compatibility.  The only hang ups were unemployment, an unhealthy relationship with their mothers and chain-smoking. At 9:02 AM, this article and blogging about others like it nearly sucked me in but job hunting wins first place for my undivided attention […]

What is this ‘Creative Commons Liscense’ I’m Seeing All Over WordPress Blogs and do I Really Need One?

August 16, 2011

I admire bloggers confident enough to take themselves that seriously. Forgive my ignorance but I figured publishing your original ideas online was copyright enough.  I mean, that Julie & Julia girl didn’t have a copyright license on her blog, Hollywood made a movie about it and she seemed to get all the credit she rightfully deserved.  I’m pretty sure […]
