Yeah so, this carpal tunnel syndrome deal really hurts. It hurts to a surprising degree. I’ve sprained my wrist before and this is more painful. Actually, I’m not convinced it actually is carpal tunnel. I’ve looked it up on wiki and my symptoms don’t exactly match up but I’m pretty sure it is a repetitive […]

When we were kids, my brother Kebes, my BFF Caro and I would make books. They were pretty rocking. Usually they had a holiday theme and featured stories about either us or our cabbage patch kids. If I’m being honest, the words “books” and “stories” are generous in this context. They were just drawings with […]

Pink sheets Black type Red pen, blue highlight Too tired to care Bored but unwilling to share Can’t trust anyone else to do it right Caught between the instinct for fight or flight Perfectionist but cutting corners all the while Wish there was a wall so I wouldn’t have to smile Everyone Thinks it’s done […]

Although I acknowledge that announcing I am taking a break from blogging is like announcing the continuation of the status quo, because lately my posts have been infrequent to rare, I must nevertheless officially give notice of a month long hiatus from updates to this site. This is of course due to the fact that […]

I don’t give the slighest shit about sports.  So why do I always faithfully watch the Olympics whenever they roll around?  Well, perhaps faithfully is too strong a word.  I leave the TV on in the background while I intertronisize and I periodically check the CBC website to see how Canada is doing in the medal standings.  […]

I have a new crush: Adam van Koeverden. He was the flag bearer for the Canadian team at the opening ceremonies for the Beijing games and has recently won a silver medal in flat water kayaking in these Olympics, which he can add to his gold and bronze from Athens. He is super talented and […]

When the movie Stargate came out I loved it. I was about 17, so perhaps I was easily impressed at the time but having recently rewatched it, I still think it stands up. When the TV show spin-off first aired I was very disappointed and abandoned it after only a few episodes. This turned out […]

I have often compared myself to Geordie of TNG because of chronic headaches brought on by my VISOR, but it seems of late that I have actually become Scotty from TOS. Remember the TNG episode Relics where Scotty is frozen inside the transporter and the Enterprise D crew revive him and he and Geordie hang […]

You guessed it, I’m taking a break. I won’t be updating Waste Island for a while because I’m currently working on another project that is also related to WI but will not be shown on niqueworks. That’s right, it’s a secret project. A super secret project. Oooh cryptic. But in the meantime I’ll review Coraline, […]

Everybody knows I’m a huge Star Trek fan.  Maybe to a point that is even… unreasonable.  But there it is:  I take this shit seriously.  In my defense I was 11-years-old when I first became a fan so my tastes were less refined than they are now (slighty at least) and hell, it was the […]
