The Muppets – Man or Muppet
I am a one post a day type of guy. That’s just how I am. I also change my undies daily. It’s these little quirks that make me special. I’ve just read that The Muppets’ “Man or Muppet” won the Oscar for Best Song. And in my little book of important stuff, I’ve written down: … Continue reading
Thank you, Saradraws! *squishy hugs*
Reblogged from veggiewitch: Thank you, Laments and Lullabies. I am honored that you would reblog a post of mine, Kapowder FTW! You are an inspiration. The voice you give to your pain speaks to me, and I empathize. Thank you, for pushing against the oppressive and choking emotions, and for reminding me that it’s imperative … Continue reading
That’s not my name!
This weekend, we watched Detachment, a very heavy Tribeca Film Festival drama with Adrian Brody, Marcia Gay Harden, James Caan, Lucy Liu and Joan Holloway… You might not be familiar with Joan Holloway. Joan is a [very] strong female character from the outstanding T.V. series Mad Men. You might know her as Joan Harris, her … Continue reading
Bon Iver are talented hipsteri
They are! I mean, how else could Justin Vernon and co. win a Grammy Award for Best New Artist when they’ve been around for years already… On this lazy, lazy, L-A-Z-Y Sunday (repeating lazy 3 times took everything out of me), here’s a live performance by Justin Vernon and Sean Carey [take the time to … Continue reading
Even (really popular) Cowgirls get the Blues
Reblogged from Laments and Lullabies: Just West of Crunchy is a blog I follow. Grounded, insightful, human, and loved by 6563 (that’s only Facebook & Twitter). A husband and wife team with what seems to be a tight knit community of mamas, papas, and inbetweeners. They talk about breastfeeding, attachment parenting, good eats, the occasional glass of … Continue reading
Hello Kettle? This is Pot calling
By Clown On Fire / Sara Lomas Throughout this life, I have vacillated between different levels of pretentiousness: mildly pretentious, moderately pretentious and Sting/Bono Vox/Gwyneth Paltrow pretentious. There are past versions of me which I would gladly lure into a back alley and kick the shit out of. And some others I would make out … Continue reading
Don't Call Me a B*tch
Reblogged from Laments and Lullabies: I hate the b-word. I think it’s overused and despite the recent reincarnation as a term of endearment, I will curtly remind anyone not to use it on me. Unless I really am being one. My definition of bitch is as follows: a very mean, cruel, selfish woman. If I am … Continue reading

It’s almost Spring, and for us Montrealers, it’s a rebirth: no more snow, less darkness, and the smell of thawing dog poop. People are happy[ier] in general and, in general, it’s a good time to explore other professional opportunities. It’s much easier to get hired during the rutting season [scientific fact, Google it, I dare … Continue reading
The Grady Daughters
1980. Montreal, in some random theater. Movie night. It’s Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining for my parents and their friends. For us kids, Disney’s The Black Hole. We’re 3/4 into the movie. I recall drinking a very large coca-cola all to myself and gorging on Twizzlers and chocolate bars. I’m on a cocaine-like suger high and … Continue reading
A hymn of praise for my daughter
When you haven’t slept for 78 hours, haven’t had a proper meal in days, haven’t washed nor had a decent conversation with an adult in recent memory; when you’ve curled up in a foetal position and felt sorry for yourself because your daughter has been really sick, needs antibiotics to treat an ear infection, has … Continue reading
