Poland Blog

What is up with Poland? I mean, I love the country dearly. It is where my family is from, and is a frigging strong nation having been through the crap it’s dealt with over the past century. Poland is definitely more hardcore than Canada in a historical sense. But seriously, they are really rocking the [...]

Simple, Rustic, Honest Food

So Murray and I have been working a lot on our kitchen and it is nearly done. Sometimes it’s strange to reconcile real life inside our home, and real life outside our home. I love getting domestic, gardening and growing my own food, sewing and just tidying up. But for a second today I was [...]

Trouble Sleeping (Air Conditioner)

What am I supposed to write about when I have nothing to write about? When its a lazy day, and I’m just sitting on the couch watching my husband play Splinter Cell, while I randomly wander the Internet?
My mom came to stay with us this weekend. Really she didn’t come to see us but [...]

The Dears are Dead! Long Live The Dears!

I made the mistake of reading our own press yesterday. I get Google Alerts about The Dears, but don’t usually read anything. I just like to get a taste of who is saying what. Yesterday I got this one:
Google Blogs Alert for: “The Dears”
Music Weekly… featuring the Queens of the Stone Age

Crazy World

I was at the bank with Neptune yesterday. There’s an older Greek woman that works there who always marvels at Neptune. We talked about how babies grow up fast and how Neptune is going to be tall and that kind of thing. Then the lady said: “I hope she has a good life.” I replied: [...]

May Two-Four (Long Weekend Blog)

The weekend has been fun. Although I don’t have a 9-to-5 grind to escape from, there’s still a grind that I like to forget. I’ve been pretty lazy; gone to the park with Neptune a bunch of times, walked to the market, planted flowers, got frustrated with Garage Band, you know. Lazy stuff. When the [...]

Review: Krief “Take it or Leave”

Krief is a prolific writer. He’s always got something on the go, always working on some new riff at Dears soundchecks. Aside from being the best guitar player I know, he is remarkably talented, and wears his influences well. Take it or Leave is mellow, a sort of mix of George Harrison, Air, Coldplay and [...]

Mexico City (Part 3): Going Home via JFK

I went into a magazine store at the airport and almost bought a book. “Killing Yourself to Live” by Chuck Klosterman, who I’ve been wanting to read but can’t commit to. I held the book for a while, read a few pages and then put it back: “I could write this. I’ve seen all I [...]

Mexico City (Part 2): Best Show EVER!

When we arrived at the venue, the band were strangely nervous for the gig. I think knowing we had some hardcores here added some pressure. But we did not expect the explosive reaction when we hit the stage. The room was sold out and nearly everybody was singing along to almost every song. At one [...]
