Nothing like when your Yakuza screenshots show up in your photo searches!

I startled a spider this morning and she ran under my desk. She's just sitting there. I cannot tell if she has molted and gone on, or if she's just mesmerized by my rainbow computer fan.

Unless the thieves are a rival ballet company, I desperately want to see the facial expressions when they open that truck and discover they've stolen the set for the Nutcracker. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I'm generally a 'To each their own' kind of a person, but this. This is an abomination. It's listed at over 11 thousand dollars.

Light and loopy schedule this week! We'll start with the regular Monday Morning streams.  The Weekly Warble will be two hours later this week, and we'll sing about Dancing.  Yakuza Friday is Yakuza Saturday and a little later.  No writing stream, and only two TikToks scheduled this week. #music

It's time for the Cultural Exchange Raid Train! Lots of great music streamers from all over the world! I'll be on Saturday night. Visit wopi.tv/tce to check the schedule in your time zone, and to see who's currently streaming. #music

I'm just singing songs again. Here's Moon River à la Audrey Hepburn.

We're watching after the fact, so no spoilers please, but watching the World Weightlifting Championships so it's time for my annual reminder of how much I simply adore Maude Charron. ( And all the other weightlifters. What a sport!)

Extra stream on top of all the regulars this week. Jumping on the Cultural Exchange Raid Train on Saturday, songs of November on the Warble. Will work on finishing songs I started in 2025 on the writing stream. #music

Well that was a good game. I was going for the Alouettes of course, but as I have Saskatchewan roots, and I do love it when old athletes do well, I can't begrudge the Roughriders their victory.

The investment banking video with the talking snail seems waaay more realistic and far less offensive than the smug fuckers in all the Questrade commercials.

Watching the Grey Cup now. That advertisement about the Moose being excluded from Holiday festivities really tugs at the heart strings. Also, do people outside of Canada know who Our Lady Peace are? Also, apparently this is the day I find out who Machine Gun Kelly is.

In order, my top 5 movie genres 1. Reluctantly, I must resume my life of violence 2. I must become number 1 in the martial arts world 3. Everyone is dancing, I have no idea why 4. Competent asshole investigates and/or is sent to a backwater 5. Girl child trained as an assassin

We've been watching a lot of Portrait and Landscape Artist of the Year, and I'm so disturbed by the artists that wear like, a white shirt, or a nice dress, and don't get any paint on it. What monstrous freaks of nature are these?

Images and videos that I did not take have been mysteriously showing up in my camera roll for a few weeks. Today I worked out it's all coming from Whatsapp, which I had to download for a job. A job for which I also had to do extensive training on cyber security. (1/2)

I do love a good joyriding in a large stolen vehicle story. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... (pic of city accordion bus with caption about what a great job the joy rider did driving the stolen vehicle)

Some changes in the schedule as I'm taking some time for Remembrance Day and MusicNL Week.  No change in the Monday Morning Sing Song or Friday Yakuza.  TikTok is quite different this week so keep an eye!  #music

The New Tune Showcase is happening now!  5 songwriters in the round, we've each written somthing on the same prompt.

First snow last night!

JT's legacy is legalizing weed, it will be pretty funny if Carney's legacy is getting Canada into Eurovision.

Shopping for island lairs. This one has a conversation pit! And bunk beds! I love conversation pits and bunk beds! It's a cool 5 mil in Canadian funds, which seems fairly reasonable for an island lair. Not sure how I'm gonna get my groceries there though. sothebysrealty.ca/en/property/...

It's a blueberry again today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did the blueberry emoji change? I just noticed a fondue pot in my username. I copied and googled it and it says it's the blueberry emoji (which is all the rage among Newfoundland & Labrador users) What gives?

As it turns out it also doesn't take much to get me so emotionally invested in a team that I spend the rest of my life feeling bad about a trophy lost.

I'll be hosting Hambones Open Mic on Tuesday this week. Drop in and share a tune! We'll try again to do our Spooky Season episode of the warble. Still not really able to sing, so much guitaring! #music

I'm genuinely devastated about the outcome of that game.

Well. Go Jays Go!

That was a lot of fun! (My 8 hour Halloween Yakuza 5 stream) We made it to chapter 2, I started relearning a prelude I wrote for my metal band's next album, and we had a lot of fun.

Starting Yakuza 5 on Twitch! Going for 8 hours! #videogames #kiryukazuma

I may have to write a song about 'the cone of uncertainty,' which is apparently where the peninsula I live on sits in Melissa's projected path. vocm.com/2025/10/30/h...

Well, that's a heck of a way to start a ball game!

So, with the pitchers, do they play fewer games because that repeated motion is physically taxing? Or is it more that it's mentally (and emotionally) draining?

So because of my current inability to sing, it won't be Spooky Season on the Warble as planned, but I will go live at the usual time and play 10 songs that still sound pretty good even if it's just the guitar. #music

So, are the long drawn out anthems that the Simpsons make fun of specifically a baseball thing? I don't think they're so drawn out in the other sports I watch.

Reuben Warran passed away today at age 88. For years I lived near one of his former factories, and this sign amused me greatly. It read: Sorry, we are closed. If you require pickled weiners, they are available across the street at Jackman & Greenes. vocm.com/2025/10/28/2...

I watched two innings and went to bed. I was not on the mend btw, hopefully another early night will sort me out. My husband stayed up until the game was tied. We did the math, and that unplanned double header ended at 4:30 AM our time. Husband: I'm glad I didn't stay up to watch the game!

I love watching the expressions of the players and fans during the anthems. There were some real Shatner-esque pauses in that there Canadian anthem. Way to represent I s'pose.

I felt absolutely horrid this afternoon, but after a bath, a nap, some acetaminophen, and attending (virtually) a community meeting for my local folk organization, I think I'm on the mend. Will watch 5 minutes of the Blue Jays game before turning in early.

Unplanned, but due to a bit of a sore throat, I'm going to be an instrumental guitarist for this Halloween edition of the Monday Morning Sing Song. We may cut it at 2 hours instead of 3 depending on how well or not I feel. #music

We'll be celebrating Halloween all week on the Kyla Tilley show! Silly costumes, spooky songs, and by request, we'll culminate with an 8 hour Yakuza 5 stream! I'll do my best Kiryu impression while driving a taxi. #music

Fun to see Duane Andrews and James Gordon here as well!

MLB salaries sure do make NHL salaries look like chump change.

How many sports require it's players to play two separate positions? (Kyla's watching baseball)

It has come to my attention that a new He-Man movie is in the works starring Jared Leto as Skeletor. How can you even include Skeletor in a new He-Man movie when it can only ever be compared to Frank Langella's performance, which is untouchable.

Baseball isn't my usual fare, but it doesn't take much to get me excited about a sporting event. Canadian team in the World Series? Okay! Generational talents Guerrero Jr vs Shohei Ohtani? Well sign me up! #goJaysGo

Playing some numbers involving numbers over on the Warble this afternoon! #music

Briefly thought we'd tune into the Blue Jays game tonight since it's a game 7 with a spot in the finals on the line. But then we remembered that we live in Newfoundland, where the game starts when we're getting ready for bed. In any case. Go Jays Go!

Back to a full schedule this week starting with TikTok and the Monday Morning Sing Song. 3 mornings and 2 evenings for the TikToks. Songs with numbers in the titles on the Warble. Then we'll clue up the week by finishing Yakuza 4 on Friday! #music

The Anglican Schism happened!

To make up for making me sit through The Substance last night, we just watched 'Sundown: Vampires in Retreat' starring David Carradine and a very young Bruce Campbell. They were both particularly delightful. Good campy fun. I enjoyed tonight's film very much.
