My review of Indulge in St. Andrew’s: So fun! The Wine, Beer and Spirits Trail made me feel like I was in Frosh week (in the olden days before campuses started being socially responsible) being peer-pressured in to playing drinking games. 10/10, 5 stars, would recommend.

Checking this out.

Giving huge bonus points to any news organization that announces the Nobel Prize winner without mentioning any other names.

I have only the vaguest idea as to what Grey’s Anatomy is all about. (Bunch of good-looking doctors sleeping together and every once in a while one of them dies?)

I vote we put him up in a Super 8 next time. Jimmy from down the way can get some boys together to do security.

That feeling when you have a seven-letter word in Scrabble and no place to put it

That Lilith Fair documentary on CBC Gem is fantastic.

Our king spent all day kissing this guy’s ass.

“who died of the prevailing fever” Gravestone, St. Peter’s Church, St. George’s, Bermuda

We’re in to the Sophie’s Choice rounds of Canada’s Favourite Album.

Supporting local in Bermuda 🙂

I’m so old that when I started university the Frosh concert was The Box.

Another unpopular opinion: One thing that didn’t age well in ‘80s music is the omnipresent sax solo. (All due respect to Clarence Clemons and whoever that guy in INXS was.)

Unpopular opinion: Can we not just call them tweets? Can’t “tweet” just be one of those brand-name words that’s become an everyday word like Kleenex or band-aid? “Tweet” is not an Elon term, if that’s what you all are worried about.

look personally i agree the earth is likely round, but we gotta meet these flat earthers where they're at ok? so our official position is now that the earth is a cube and we're working on taking a buncha rights away from people who still insist it's round. see, it's called coalition building,

Showcasing the lunch as being “in honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin” is somehow the most offensive part of this whole thing to me 😒

Bunny 2 didn’t believe me that I listened to Mazzy Star in university so I went looking for the cassette. Didn’t find it but LOOK AT ALL THIS GREAT STUFF!!!!! (Never did find the Mazzy Star so he still doesn’t understand how extremely cool I am.)

He’s pitiful.

I saw this guy speak at a conference in 2002 in Hawaii. Just thought I’d share that 🤷‍♀️

jfc am I gonna have to get a Samsung?

Trying something new for lunch. Golgappa from Daddy Ji. You fill the little deep-fried dough with potatoes and then pour in a cold broth and pop the whole thing in your mouth. Very yummy but more work than I typically want to do on a lunch break 😆. Back to samosa chat for me next time.

The winner.

Don’t like the COVID numbers? Stop testing. Don’t like the jobs numbers? Fire the labour commissioner. Don’t like climate change realties? Stop measuring carbon.

I’m so effing sick of all these giant vehicles. Currently trapped parked on King St. bw two giant trucks. Can’t see a bloody thing in either direction. I do not believe y’all are transporting lumber or helping friends move frequently enough to justify the number of these monstrosities on the road.

12, with absolutely no plans to ever increase that number.

If you see this, post a redhead.

I Need You To Turn To

What perfect albums came out when you were 16?

Omg the sideways curse has started again 😤

Requisite annual moon selfie. Apologies for it not being dark out but we’re old.

We caught the moon-rising!

Sitting outside having my lunchtime coffee kind of wishing I’d brought a cardigan #saintjohnheatwave

Watching the Pet Shop Boys new concert film (well, new to me - it came out last year) and it is bringing me pure joy.

My parents got a kitten so I can do a #caturday post!

Sociables are the only cracker that ranks.

America is sick.

I don’t care what anybody says. It’s a pretty little city.

First day, last day 😊 (Thinly veiled brag-post: Bunny 1 received her BSc in Medical Sciences with First Class Honours from Dalhousie University today.)

ATTENTION SHOPPERS: MILLIDGEVILLE SUPERSTORE HAS BROUGHT IN MORE STUBBY CARTS! I REPEAT: MILLIDGEVILLE SUPERSTORE HAS BROUGHT IN MORE STUBBY CARTS!

In 1994 in NYC friends and I came across Conan O’Brien playing guitar and being interviewed. We stopped and listened for a bit. A few weeks later, the article showed up and it mentioned passers-by stopping to listen to him play. That was us! In People magazine! We were the passers-by!

Sharing my latest “if you can’t buy Canadian at least don’t buy American” research: All the major deodorant brands are American except Nivea, which is German.

And finally, heading home. Here is the last pic of our vacation: the Air Canada guy fixing our emergency door exit after we sat on the tarmac for two hours bc the flight attendants found an issue during final check before take-off. I have full confidence that this pic will be right-side-up.

Last day in Vienna. Which I presume will show up as upside pictures of the Museum of Natural History and sideways pictures of Schönbrunn Palace.

Transit day: Split back to Vienna. Going put a screen shot of my view when I hit post in the replies to prove the pictures are right-side up when I start!

Don’t know if I can rise above the noise of all the Elon-Trump posts to reach my usual viral status (3 likes), but here’s my next edition of “Will My Pics Be Right-Side Up?” Croatia Day 4. Island-hopping!

Reposting these following @raydoesdata.bsky.social ‘s advice. 🤞

Croatia Day 3. Time for my daily crap shoot of “will my pics be right-side up”?

Croatia Day 2. Fingers crossed no sideways pictures bc, as you can see, I am not deleting and reposting when that happens 🙃
