Second Honeymoon

nobody@vox.com(Glacia) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:12:45 -0400

“I really dig Joanne Trollope, but I think this is my least favourite of hers I've read so far. Her writing style is still lovely and engaging, but the plot itself I found empty and a bit boring. Dealing with adult children returning home to an a...

Great Quote

Andre Gide - "Be faithful to that which exists within yourself." Also...I have to admit my dirty secret. I freaking, freaking, freaking LOVE Harlequins. Crammed between my David Sedaris, Jonathon Franzen, and the History of Canadian Economics ...

Things To Be Happy About

nobody@vox.com(Glacia) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 14:47:28 -0400

Well, for one, it's pirate day at my grandniece's school. And second, I don't hate PETA today. (We have a very, VERY tumultuous relationship.) I don't hate them because they got KFC Canada to change the way in which they raise and slaughters th...

So I read over at Shatnerian's about this senior's choir called Young @ Heart that sings contemporary(ish) songs such as 'I Want to Be Sedated', 'Stayin' Alive', etc. As John says the result is quirky and wonderful. I went to youtube myself to ...

Tis

nobody@vox.com(Glacia) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:35:07 -0500

Angela's Ashes

nobody@vox.com(Glacia) — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 18:35:12 -0500

I borrowed ‘Angela’s Ashes’ from my mother in law back in November (does it REALLY take me 2 months to read a freakin’ book?). Her and her sister warned me that it’d be super depressing and did I really want to read it. Okay, it’s not a 100%...

Book #16 "Out - A Novel"

My friend Lisa in Japan sent me a book that I normally wouldn't have picked up as it's a suspense/mystery novel Out- A Nove' by Natsuo Kirino. Well, thank God she did because it was one of the best reads I've had in a long time. I just finished i...

So the niece and I decided to check out a couple of the installations from Nuit Blanche on Saturday night. Those of you unfamiliar, Nuit Blanche started in Paris and this is the second year that Toronto has done it. It's billed here as 'an a...

Run For the Cure

nobody@vox.com(Glacia) — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 10:22:19 -0400

Each year I particpate in the CIBC Run for the Cure. This is a 5K run that I do in order to help raise funds for breast cancer research and education. I've been very fortunate to have very generous people support me each year to raise thousands...
