It's been a really rough week at the office, pretty much non-stop since I got back from my trip. Seems like there's no way to get on top of the work. Made a silly mistake due to doing a million things at once. Got chewed out by someone who really has no right to do … Continue reading Richard Armitage Fan A to Z: V to Z
Richard Armitage Fan A to Z: R to U
Back from my trip to Ontario -- and of course it's raining here, as it tends to do in Vancouver. I was missing the mountains, but I still can't see them through the overcast sky! On the plane to Toronto, I took advantage of the free movies and re-watched Ocean's 8, enjoying it once again even … Continue reading Richard Armitage Fan A to Z: R to U
Hoping a Picture’s Worth 1,000 Words
With little time to write (I should be reading more of my course material), I thought I'd share a few pictures from my train journey and my home away from home for the week. The start of the journey: The train ride through the winter landscape: My study area: Let's not forget the food: I've … Continue reading Hoping a Picture’s Worth 1,000 Words
Getting Ready for Take-off
My bags are checked, including my cute little RAdically designed make-up bag, handmade by Guylty. (Which reminds me... I need to replace my phone case in the black design, which finally cracked after many phone-saves from dropping it.) I'm off to Ontario for a combined trip of family visits and a full-week in-residence course for … Continue reading Getting Ready for Take-off
Castlevania 2 – Painter of Light?
What a treat to see Richard Armitage in a story on TV (and so animated too! Lol), rather than just hear him in an audiobook! The second season of Castlevania recently appeared on Netflix and I was really excited to watch it. It instantly engaged me, starting from the exciting theme song (by Canadian composer … Continue reading Castlevania 2 – Painter of Light?
Questions about Reading
I've got a few posts I'd like to write, but somehow no energy for anything too in-depth. I just got home after being at work for 13 hours, which is kind of par for the course right now. Sigh. Anyway... A bunch of bloggers are answering these questions about reading, so I thought I'd chime … Continue reading Questions about Reading
Sights Seen and Voices Heard
The Fall weather can be perfect for enjoying the scenery outdoors. At the same time, there have been some interesting interactions with people (and creatures) around me. A recent conversation I had at a rugby park: Older man: "Is this boy's rugby?" Me: "Yes, it is." Older man: "Oh, well I just thought, because that … Continue reading Sights Seen and Voices Heard
Richard Armitage Fan A to Z: O to Q
Time to pick this challenge up again... apparently, it's been a month since the last one. (I'm a bad fan.) Continued from here. O -- Casual RA or dressed-to-the-nines RA? Which one to choose... which one to choose... For today, I think I'll go for dressed-to-the-nines. (On any given day, however, I reserve the right … Continue reading Richard Armitage Fan A to Z: O to Q
Stress Relief – A Concert – I’m with Her
I stumbled across a newish musical group that I really like. I'm with Her has been called a folk supergroup, with three female singer-songwriter-instrumentalists getting together in gorgeous harmony with bluegrass and roots stylings. (They remind me a bit of the more bluegrassy Dixie Chicks songs.) Before you ask, I'm with Her had their name … Continue reading Stress Relief – A Concert – I’m with Her
Milestones: Life & Blogging
This past week, I reached two milestones, one in life and one in blogging. Life: My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary this week. A lot has happened in that time --- job changes, moving across the country, three house purchases, two kids, family deaths and marriages. It hasn't always been what we've … Continue reading Milestones: Life & Blogging
