Inane Ramblings

It’s Sunday night, and I’m quickly being reduced to a puddle of sweat on the floor. It’s ridiculously hot in my apartment (and, really, the entire city), so I suspect that I might be less than coherent for the next few days, as a result of the lack of sleep that is sure to result. [...]

Becoming a Home Owner?

I’ve been watching the condos that are being built near my apartment. I remember seeing a sign several months ago that seemed to indicate that they were surprisingly inexpensive considering the location, and the general market conditions in the city right now. One of these units may, in fact, be in my price range, as [...]

Regaining My Girlish Figure

I recently discovered that I weigh 30lbs more than I thought I do. This shocked me. I don’t really care about the weight. I’m not really fat, and, if I workout enough, I’ll probably retain this weight anyway (except that, you know, it will be muscle instead of fat). What I am is out of [...]

River City Writer is Launched

For a little while now, I’ve been making mention of a new blog that I’m working on. That blog is now ready to be seen by public eyes.
Before I give you the link, a little bit about the new blog. As regular readers will know, I have always tried to make Edmonton the focus of [...]

I’m On the Road

By the time you read this, I’ll already be on the road. The road trip plans didn’t quite end up going the way I’d expected, but I’m going nonetheless. It looks like it’s just me and my youngest brother, Chris. That’s cool, though. It’ll give us a chance to do some brotherly bonding. We don’t [...]

The Winter’s Tale - 1920s Style

On Tuesday of this week, I saw the Winter’s Tale at the River City Shakespeare Festival. This particular production is set in the early days of Mussolini’s Italy. This setting is actually incredibly fitting for the play, at least during the tragic first half. During the second half, when things get much comedic and pastoral, [...]

Request For WordPress Help

Okay, friends, I’m asking for some WordPress (WP) help, because my memory is failing me.
As you know, I’m launching a new blog soon. I’m currently in the process of getting everything setup, and will probably launch it next week (it will be sort of a “pre-launch,” though, since it probably won’t have the custom theme [...]

Globat: Overly Cautious or Due Diligence?

I’m going to be launching a new blog very soon. I’ll tell you all about it in a future post, after it’s gone live, but for now, I want to talk about my web host. For this blog, I am lucky enough to have be hosted for free. Because I’m a moderator and very active [...]

No More “What Colour is an Orange?”

Because at least one person has been having problems leaving comments, and because I’ve been receiving fewer comments since installing it, I’ve removed the WP-Gatekeeper plugin. No longer will you be forced to tell me that an orange is orange in order to leave a comment.
Hopefully, Akismet will be able to catch all the spam [...]

River City Shakespeare Festival - Pay What You Can Day 2

Just a quick reminder that today is the pay-what-you-can day for The Winter’s Tale at the River City Shakespeare Festival. If you’re planning on attending, I’d recommend getting to the Amphitheatre around 6pm so that you’ve got a good place in line, and will be sure to get a ticket.
Regular ticket prices are $20, so [...]
