This year, for the Nickel Independent Film Festival's 48-hour horror challenge, we're reliving all the stress and terror of piano lessons....

In the midst of rehearsals and work and general life, we also like to make videos! So here's a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making videos at Cool Pond Productions.

The online shopping world is rife with drop-shipping and AI scams, so it's worthwhile to share things of quality when you find them. My Brahmaki robe is beautiful and well-made; the online sizing guide was accurate, and it shipped quickly. Yes, a bit expensive, but worth the splurge.

Enjoyed Gunn's Superman last night. It feels refreshing, maybe even necessary, to have an earnest, kind superhero in these crazy times we're living in.

This week's excitement: Having a short film I co-wrote and "starred" in be selected for presentation at the Nickel Independent Film Festival!

(Starred is lingo for "we were on a deadline and someone had to do it).

Logging back on and seeing my last posts were vague-booking about my mom's final illness and eventual passing.

There's been lots of good in 2025, but it has been a year, thus far.

I love how the prices of flights uniformly double as soon as it's less than a week out. As though the people looking at a last minute flights are all traveling on a whim and not emergency situations that make said expensive travel feel like extortion.

That's a wrap on Scrooge 2024! We'll always have the memories. And leftover cake.

It's tech week, so I'll be spending an inordinate amount of time in the theatre this week. But hey, where else will I have the opportunity to be carted around on a piano?

This makes them look for more friendly than they actually are. But they are both very pretty.

Thinking about how we combat the spread of misinformation, especially with a looming Canadian election. I recommend digging into the reports of the Canadian Digital Media Research Centre, which is a great resource for analysing the spread of online misinformation.

After just lurking on Twitter for months without actually posting, it was time to shut down that account and step away from its rage bait and lies. Here's to a kinder community over here on BlueSky.
