I love my netbook!

Having a netbook has made me a lot more productive. Not having to lug about a 5 lb. laptop everywhere, with it’s limited battery life, has been a huge improvement. Considering my bag looks like I’m preparing for the Apocalypse, having a 5 lb. brick in it...

Romantic Deal Breakers

I watched The Birds recently.  I’ve never seen it before (I’m not much into old movies) but I thought it was maybe time I saw it, for my own edification.  I mean, it can’t hurt to watch what’s considered a classic, right? Well, one part in particular caught my...

Plants vs. Zombies… my current obsession

I adore this game. It doesn’t move too fast (which is excellent, since I’m incredibly uncoordinated – meaning I generally suck at most video games) and it is ridiculously quirky.  I love having catapults taking out zombies via watermelon or corn.  I’m highly amused by...

Twin Peaks

Board Games, Anyone?

While there are a lot of great things about living in Florida, there are plenty of things I miss about Toronto. Besides the obvious friends and families, I mean. One of which is gaming. Not the total geeked-out gaming (although I’ve played a few of those on...

Tools of the Trade

Pens and pencils – are they completely defunct tools for a writer? I use a computer and netbook (although I’ve yet to get a multimedia phone) but I have to say, I’m still a little old school. Editing on the computer is almost impossible or me. I try to make the font...
