She/Her. Cradle to Grave Atheist. ADHD. Talking too much is my jam.

Cats are magic. Books are life.

When I was 5 years old I wanted to live at the library. Nothing has changed.

I was trying to remember a Canadian horror film from the 70s I saw on TV. I was absolutely convinced it was called The Pict but it's actually called The PYX. It was clearly the Christopher Plummer lets his hair down era.
Lobby Card for "The Pyx" from 1973 Text: The deals were made the price was paid. Today she has a date from which there is no return! Elizabeth Lucy. Don't say her name out loud... whisper it. Karen Black. Christopher Plummer. Donald Pilon. Produced by Julian Roffman. Directed by Harvey Hart. Based on the novel by John Buell. A Roadshow Release. Rated Mature.

Even though I'm Canadian I was not aware that such a thing as "Hockey Boyfriend Romances" existed. I was searching for book themed reads when I stumbled across this genre.

We got a DVD at the library for "Hamlet at Elsinore" a 1964 shot on location in Denmark starring Christopher Plummer, Robert Shaw, Michael Caine and a very young Donald Sutherland valiantly attempting a Scottish-sounding-Norwegian accent as Fortinbras.

"Electric Spark: The Enigma of Dame Muriel"
by Frances Wilson
“It is one of the secrets of Nature in its mood of mockery that fine weather lays heavier weight on the mind and hearts of the depressed and the inwardly tormented than does a really bad day with dark rain sniveling continuously and sympathetically from a dirty sky.” — Muriel Spark

Last week was a little tough with our cat recovering from a medical treatment so I needed a lift and I'm really enjoying "Love Walked In" by Sarah Chamberlain.

We had a great day visiting the Prince Edward County Studio Tour yesterday but we weren't able to see as many as we planned. It would take a whole weekend to see every artist but we were blown away by all the great work we saw and the great conversations we had with the artists.
