I know, I know…lots of videos lately. I’m working on getting some actual content, really – I am! At any rate, Game of Thrones has started its new season (no, I haven’t seen it yet), so I figured I’d share this little gem that I found on (you guessed it) YouTube 🙂
Do you like Comic and Entertainment conventions? Are you in Calgary? Do you knit? The Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo will be taking place at our Stampede grounds from April 24th through April 27th. The Husbeast and I have weekend tickets purchased and will be going to say hi to friends and get a good […]
Games you can play while you watch this: 1. Name the era / realize when the era changes 2. Name that tuning (also: count the groping for the slide, shifting of feet for pedals) 3. How many of those songs did you you (or someone you know) spend hours learning on a fake, plastic guitar […]
I found this little gem on Reddit. The artist’s name is Kawehi and while she doesn’t exactly have Cobain’s growls and distortion, she has her own flair. I’ll totally overlook the use of the auto-tune-like filter she’s using on her voice as it lends extra atmosphere. TCS – Robot Heart: Heart-Shaped Box – Nirvana (covered […]
Ye Olde Internal Wurlitzer has started playing Danse Macabre, composed by Camille Saint-Saens, arranged by Liszt/Horowitz. This one gets in your head and whirls around at a breakneck pace until you’re just on the edge of dizzy. And then good luck getting it out of your head for the rest of the day. You’re welcome.
Not sure how many readers will know this (as I have no idea your demographic), but I used to be a musician. In fact, music was my first career choice prior to going to Art College (I gave up the dream after a series of University auditions that spanked my immature little pride on her […]
I meant to post before now, but things have been scattered and hectic over the holiday (I consider it ‘the holiday that wasn’t’ because I worked for most of it, but what can you do, right? It’s the nature of the beast when you knowingly continue a career path that includes features shift work). So, […]
I’ve been wanting “TARDIS mittens” for awhile now. I looked online and found mittens decorated as Tardises (Tardi?), and mittens decorated with Tardises (what is the plural on that, anyhow?). I just didn’t find what I was looking for. There was one front-runner, but I quickly found myself ripping it back and starting all over […]
About a year or two ago, I made the Husbeast a hat. I used the Ripley pattern by Ysolda Teague, and made it out of a dark grey alpaca blend from Michael’s. It itches. And an itchy hat doesn’t make for happy husbeasts. (This is not the first occasion when an alpaca blend has caused […]
It started innocently enough. I saw a pattern and thought it looked intriguing. I had a couple of balls of Noro sock yarn that were languishing due to the fact that I have some known issues with Kureyon, and got curious as to whether they would look good together. The answer to this, by the […]
