Busy Today

Not much of a post today as things are busy.
I have made some progress on the story contest entry for local newspaper I mentioned on Monday.  That’s good because it is due on Monday.  The good news is you will be able to read it here soon.  I promise!
My daughter visited me  at work yesterday [...]

The Hobbit Cartoon from the 1970s

I stumbled across The Hobbit cartoon adaption from the 70’s the other day on YouTube and just had to watch it. I remember seeing this on television when I was a kid and being absolutely creeped out by it. I’m not sure what really got to me, but I think it was the [...]

Where Are My Ice Skates?

Well, I nearly fell on my butt several times this morning, just attempting to walk to my car to go to work. It’s hard enough to have to go to the office every morning without having to risk my life for it. Apparently we got quite a bit of freezing rain last night [...]

An Eventful Weekend

Yeah, I was plenty busy this weekend. It all started off Saturday morning, with a nice game of ice hockey. This one was at 9:00 AM, which compared with the normal 6:30 AM start times was great. If you remember, my team lost 9-1 last week. This week we won 3-2, [...]

A Touching Story

I came across this video the other day and I just had to share it. I watched it at work and had to stop it a few times due to “tear duct malfunction”. It’s the story of a young boy who has cancer and his chance to meet his heroes, the Toronto Maple [...]

Remember the episode in which The Doctor becomes human? He makes a video for Martha, bits of which are revealed in the episode. Well, someone posted the entire video on YouTube and it’s pretty funny. Take a look:

Just the Three of Us

My home life has been going through a subtle change the past few months, a change that has been hard to notice when it was happening, but one that is quite obvious now that I look back on things. Let me explain.
For the longest time, it has felt that there were two people living [...]

A Writing Rut or a Brick Wall

This post is going to be a bit of me whining, and I’m sorry for that. I just need to get it off my chest.
I’m currently working on a story, or trying to work on a story, that should only wind up being 1,000 to 1,500 words long. Compared to NaNoWriMo, that is [...]

What I’m Reading – The Mysterious Benedict Society

I thought I’d take some time to tell you about a book I’m currently reading, and really enjoying. I picked this one up the same day as my trip to the library. Actually, on the way home from the library my daughter fell asleep in the car and when we got home I asked [...]

Free Doctor Who Novel and Acknowledgements

So, ever since I got my Sony Reader (eBook reader) I have been lurking on the MobileRead Forums. For anyone who has an interest in electronic books, that’s a good place to hang out. Anyhow, the other day someone posted a link for a free Doctor Who novel titled Who Killed Kennedy, which [...]
