Certified bangers start to end
I’ve been listening to a lot more music lately, deliberately albums rather than miscellany and playlists. My music tastes run fairly out of date (I think the last artist I bought a new record from is Lizzo, who’s sadly absent from this list because of her shite behaviour), which I think is pretty obvious from… Continue reading

EMP Museum Seattle (review = image heavy!)
The EMP Museum in Seattle is like someone asked “what is Nicole a nerd about?” and made a museum (minus the board games, get on it EMP!). The EMP Museum used to be the “Experience Music Project” but has grown to be generally a pop culture – film, movies, music etc – museum in a… Continue reading

Things I Love Thursday
As a lovely coincidence, today is my 13th vegan anniversary! Being vegan is one of the things I love most, and I never look back or question it. By now it’d be kinda weird to be any other way, it feels. For me, for the planet, for the animals, for the delicious food. And yes,… Continue reading

Music Monday? Sure!
Next week I’m going to see Sleater-Kinney! They’re one of my all-time favourite bands, and I couldn’t believe my luck that, on top of a new album, there was going to be a tour, and Toronto was included in it (after the first wave of announcements). And PS, there are still tickets! So I’m going… Continue reading

Things I Love Thursday! Get your love on.
I know it wasn’t that long ago I TILTed, but it feels like forever. Despite the damp weather out there in Toronto, I shan’t be dissuaded from finding things to be positive about! Like how, despite the rain, it’s been pretty lovely to stroll around as it tries its hardest to Spring here. My last… Continue reading

The digital dozen – your next dose of intermittent curious things for the ingenious time-waster.
Welcome to today’s wonderful procrasti-links fest! Yay! These aerial photos are so wild. The planet looks so cool, and slightly dizzy-making, from above. Okay, this is legitimately the best procrastination of today’s links. Patatap, a nifty tool that lets you use your computer’s keyboard to make cool noises and stuff! YESSS! Click to go through,… Continue reading

End of the week digital dozen pick me up!
Looking for something to alt-tab to between Word documents and emails today? Look no further.. If you’ve ever wondered what some pretty famous bands look like as LEGO minifigs, you needn’t leave it to your imagination any more – see the rest here. These are pretty spot on! I think the Thom Yorke below is especially good.… Continue reading

A memory triggered – MTV Unplugged sessions
The other night I had to do some mind-numbing visa application stuff to renew my visitor’s permit (to be in effect while I’m still waiting for permanent residency). After a chain of watching Soundgarden videos earlier in the night (after chatting with Adam about them post-Rock Banding Spoonman), I decided to fall back to my… Continue reading
