Welcome to Earf, Talia
Talia Sianne Rivas. Apparently I could think of no better introduction for you than to quote a mediocre Will Smith movie, wherein he punched an alien in the face and then mispronounced the name of his own planet. You’re worthy of more, but this is the man that will father you, the one that you’re [...]
A Glimpse of a Robot Gangster
I can’t seem to make up my mind these days. I’ve got lots of life stuff going on and I’m zipping around between a million ideas. The most achievable of these is a short story concept that I’ve been sitting on for a little bit, so I decided I would knock that out this month [...]
Canadian Politics: A Primer
I’ll be the first to admit that I know nothing about world events or politics, simply because I’d rather spend my time reading about robots and wizards. I’m not saying this is the right way to live your life, but it probably is. Anyway, I wanted to brush up on my Canadian politics, so I [...]
The Rockstar Equivalent
This weekend, Jen and I went to the Alley Theatre to check out the much celebrated Toxic Avenger musical. While that might sound strange or awesome to you depending on whatever whacky lens you use to view the world, rest assured — it was one of the greatest live performances of anything I’ve seen, ever. [...]
Relevant to Harry Potter
This made me laugh way more than it should have. Share
Prior Incantato: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Part 6
Prior Incantato: In Harry Potter, a spell that can reveal the last spell performed by a particular wand. In other words — magic revisited. Several months after part 5, here we are at Part 6 (of 7) of my re-read of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. And here I thought I’d knock this thing [...]
Spinning Plates and the Snowflake Method
I suck at writing novels. I’m not being down on myself, it’s just a simple truth. Unfortunately, I would like to write novels for a living one day. So yeah, those two things kind of collide in the worst way possible. In many ways, being a writer is like being one of those dudes that [...]
Corporate Horrors
In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been fascinated by an idea that sort of tumbled into my head fully-formed. For those of you who are creative types, you understand that this is something about as rare as catching a unicorn with your bare hands and convincing it to make you a sandwich afterwards. Share
Running for God Knows Why
Two days ago, I ran for 13.1 miles, finishing my second half marathon in the last few years – and well, ever, I guess. To be able to say that I’ve done two of these things now is something I never would have believed back in 2009, when I was in the midst of some [...]
In Which I Confess to Cinema Ignorance
I’ve got a bit of a confession to make. As much as I know and love movies, there is a tremendous gap in my experience when it comes to classic films. I can’t really pinpoint why, but for some reason or another, I haven’t seen a few movies that many consider to be among the [...]
