Holidays are our excuse to eat A LOT of cheese. We're currently on maple cheese kick. Can you tell?

My favourite way to avoid doing, well, everything. Look at the little people running around!

Mushrooms are so cute. Here's one that appeared in one of our flower planters. Cute yes. Also? It'll probably kill ya.

How I deal with Facebook, now. 

I scroll until I find a friend's post, ignoring all others. I like my friend's post. I scroll for another ten or so posts until I see another friend's post, and so on.

First time I have seen an Amtrak train in West Harbour station. Huh. Almost on my way you guys!

Watched Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and I expected it to be a buddy movie. Most of the movie follows an aging actor and his stunt double in a changing Hollywood, but I would say this is also a revenge fantasy movie. 4 stars.

This is the time of year when turtleneck-lovers start dreaming of turtleneck day. Autumn is coming.

We are trying to help the wee fat kitties lose weight. Their faces whenever you turn around on the kitchen. Starving, I tell ya.

So for about two years, I have lost my gumption. Exhausted and lacking in motivation, I fell out of my daily habits. So, it's back to daily walking. Starting with a pathetic little half kilometre around the block. Such a pretty neighbourhood.

I always wonder about the bros who record misogynist rants in their cars. Are they scared their mums will hear them if they record from their basement bedroom?

Sometimes Ripley just looks like a cute, little kitty. 

A cute, little kitty with plans. Devious plans.

The chance of your cat murdering while you enjoy your afternoon is also slim, but never zero. Ripley killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?

Yojimbo: Lone Ronin comes into a town divided by two warring factions. I did not expect this to be funny, darkly funny, but funny with bursts of intense violence and violent moments. Entertaining, thoughtful. A lot of big face acting. 4 stars.

Ripley and Newt are dedicated to overthrowing the authorities and taking the house for themselves. I caught them scheming.

Okay, I just want to know why Maple Syrup Cheddar is made in the UK. Hahahahah!

You know, losing weight over sixty is a little like chipping away at a slab of granite that's cranky cause it hasn't had its coffee. It just won't give.

Having said that, I am officially down about twenty pounds. All good except that I still look like this sheep.

How many writers does it take to change a lightbulb? One, but you have to change it 50 times before it's exactly right.

Noticed that I missed a few writing contest deadlines, but I figure that gives me more time to get it right.

Eddington. Extremely funny, willing to poke fun at everything, even our willingness to support. Very much with the film until it just kept going.

Strong cast, beautifully shot, moments of brilliance. So much film. Audience did not seem to get the humour. 3.5 stars. #filmsky

Imagine. Because we don't want to be bothered stringing a few sentences together or thinking for ourselves or making our own art, or hiring people who will do that for us, they're building computing sites so massive that they use more energy than most major cities. Cause, what could go wrong?
