Unhealthy Interests (Part 1): Zombies

I have been accused by more than one alleged friend of having an ‘Unhealthy Interest’ in zombies. Well, honestly. These days, who doesn’t? I mean, really. (♥ I’m a zombie girl… in a zombie world ♥) Yes, but [1]… these so-called friends are quick to point out that, unlike yours truly, most other (i.e. normal) [...]

Dino Farts Contributed to Mesozoic Global Warming?

May the Fourth… Be With You!

Today is Star Wars Day, for obvious reasons. [1] Here are a couple of Star Wars related photos that have tickled me over the past year or so. For me, Imperial Stormtroopers are a constant source of fun! I love nerd humour! Yoda is also good for a few laughs. We’ve all seen Star Wars [...]

When Old People Beak Off (and why I love it)

Bonsai Graveyard

There was a point in my innocent yet not too distant past when I had dreams of tending bonsai trees in my home. I saw myself as a kind of Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid, carefully pruning and bending, shaping and creating the tiny tree over time into a work of art. I was [...]

Master Sedgwick (and why I love him)

I like reading the comics. And by comics, I mean the comic strips one finds in newspapers. [1] Dilbert, Garfield, Doonesbury, Rudy Park, Pooch Cafe, Non Sequitur, Heart of the City [2]… these are the little snippets of fun with which I start my day. But there is one character in one particular comic strip [...]
