My Boyfriend’s Girlfriend at the Fringe
I saw My Boyfriend’s Girlfriend this weekend at the Fringe Festival in Edmonton. I wasn’t really sure what to expect going in, but I’m so glad I attended. I feel like this show is groundbreaking in it’s content and the cast delivered a really beautiful and genuine performance. At the time of this posting there […]
Favourite YouTuber Spotlight – Malukah
Malukah has this amazing ethereal quality to her work and I know her best for her video game music and collaboration with Peter Hollens and Taylor Davis. Many of her videos are simple with her playing guitar and singing, but it’s just beautiful and I love listening to her. Check out some of her videos […]
Throwback Thursday – ABBA and Aryans
Some pretty freaky and deplorable things happened during the Nazi regime, but there’s one that I’d never heard of before. The Lebensborn program. This was part of the Aryan idea where they would breed German soldiers with the blonde haired, blue eyed Norwegian women to expand the “master race”. Of course the Nazi’s lost the […]
What I’m Reading – The Garden
I just finished reading The Garden by Elsie V Aidinoff. It is a big bucket of controversy, not only rewriting Genesis, but also bringing sexual assault into the mix. This is actually the second time I’ve read it, but I don’t remember how I felt about it the first read through years ago. This time […]

Tis the season for festivals! Edmonton is playing host to yet another batch of wonderful festivals this week including the Edmonton Rock Festival, The Fringe Festival and the Latin Festival. Each is unique and amazing and offer a wide variety of live entertainment. I have yet to attend the Rock and Latin Festivals, but I […]
Favourite Author Spotlight – Stephanie Thornton
Stephanie Thornton is one of my absolute favourite authors in the wonderful realm of historical fiction (and most other realms too). She has made it her mission to pluck obscure women from history and breathe new and vibrant life into them. I pretty much just wait impatiently for all of her new works, but […]
Throwback Thursday – Baseball and Empires
What do the Chicago Cubs and the Ottoman Empire have in common? The last time the Cubs won the world series the Ottoman Empire was still in existence and controlled much of the Middle East. The Ottomans ruled the roost for over 600 years, spread Islam through the Mediterranean region and claimed the Islamic holy lands. […]
The Purrfect Companion
Cats are awesome. I’ve shared many pictures and even videos about my fuzz bundles, but I don’t think I’ve done a blog about them before. Cats kind of get a bad rep about being aloof and not caring about their people, but that’s never been true for any cats I’ve had. They have distinct personalities […]
