We had weeks of record heat this summer. It was awful. I’m not a summer person. Not. At. All. So how did I get through it? Adult beverages. One of my favourites for summer is Wondra’s Hard Lemonade. An amazing drink that is so easy to make. I used the juice from four lemons, two […]

Autumn 2013 Bucket List
I can’t believe Autumn has rolled around again already. It seems like the rest of the year has simply flown by and I’ve missed so many opportunities to do something out of the ordinary and special. I won’t let that happen this Autumn! I’ve made a list of all the things I want to do, […]

Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices Book 3), Cassandra Clare
CATEGORY: bibliophile, book whore, books, Cassandra Clare, Infernal Devices, quotes, reading, reviewsOkay… So maybe it was dumb to go to a talk on The Mortal Instruments movie before I finished reading this story. Derp. One girl got up and said that she’d cried through the whole second half of the book. Actually, what she said was that it “kicked her in the feels” – which is […]

Monday’s Meme of the Week
I can’t believe Monday has rolled around again. Maybe that’s because I spent my whole weekend on the couch, begging for ice cream and death. (In that order.) Some of you already know that I’ve been fighting Menorrhagia – which is really just a complicated way of saying that my periods are all out of […]

A Song for Sunday: Wretch 32 – Doing Okay
Now that we’re back from our little Summer vacation (ie: being too busy, sick, or miserable to post), it’s time to pick this week’s Song for Sunday. This one took me completely by surprise. I was just clicking through the trending videos (as usual) and, when this one came up, I was speechless. […]

Farewell to Summer
I cannot express how happy I am that today is August 1st, known to witches as Lughnasadh (or Lammas). It marks the first harvest of the year and heralds the end of Summer. Can I get an “oorah?” I’m not a big fan. When you suffer from migraines that are triggered by light and heat, […]

Things That Make Ya Go…
CATEGORY: Eurovision, Eurovision Song Contest, funny, LOL, Sweden, swedish smorgasbord, video, You TubeWTF? A lot of weird things happen during Eurovision. That’s part of the draw for (weird) people like me. I’ve been watching Eurovision religiously for about six years now and this is by far the weirdest thing I have seen to date (even weirder than the singing grannys with their moving ovens): I don’t know […]

The Carnegie Medal
As you probably know, I’ve been taking a class called Children’s Literature – not, as you may think, because it was “and easy one” but because children’s literature genuinely fascinates me. I’m one of those cross over readers who enjoys a good children’s book every bit as much as a smutty romance novel. Recently for […]

*sigh*
Here’s an actual conversation I had with a waiter recently… Waiter: What would you like? Me: What have you got in the way of bourbon? Waiter: (pause) Uh… (pause) We have Jack Daniels? That’s (pause) like bourbon, right? Me: (stare) Oh, honey… go away and send back someone who’s old enough to drink.
