A few quick site updates and one great big announcement
First and foremost, re: that poll I had up for y’all the other day, I have reached a formal decision. For reasons I still can’t tell you about yet (but which I will be doing ASAP), y’all should look for the name of Angela Highland to be coming into play on this site in the…

Everybody in Avatar: Legend of Korra is AMAZING
So because Legend of Korra keeps getting better every week and because I admire the hell out of this show, here, have a poll! (As always, if you’re reading this somewhere that isn’t my WordPress blog, please click on over to the original post and make a choice! The poll won’t work on any of…

And now, a fangirly PSA: Le Vent du Nord in Oregon in November!
It appears that the boys of Le Vent du Nord are beefing up their application for the position of My New Favorite Band, because this morning, this happened on Facebook! How thoughtful is that? And I mean, it ain’t like I wasn’t going to go already anyway, but if I hadn’t already known about the…

A pen name poll!
And now, O Internets, in the category of Things I Can’t Tell You About Yet, the issue has arisen that I need to take on a pen name. Not for issues of needing to conceal what names I’m writing under–because I won’t be–but more in the interests of using a name that’s easier to spell…

Dental surgery–and today’s Murkworks Movie Suckoff!
Went in to see my new dentist for gum graft surgery today, which is because I’ve got a few spots in my mouth where the gums have pulled back enough to expose the roots of my teeth. This has caused me all sorts of sensitivity issues, and my new dentist’s recommendation was that we do…

I still prefer him in the company of Great Big Sea, just…

Further arrangements for the Canadian Adventure!
Just snagged weekend passes for Dara and me to the Newfoundland & Labrador Folk Festival, the big festival that was our main reason for going to St. John’s to begin with–even if we’ll be skipping out on it on August 4th to scamper up to Torbay for Great Big Sea instead. 😀 We figured screw…

Further musical planning for the Great Atlantic Canadian Adventure!
*squeal* Keeping a hawk’s eye on the tour Calendar on leventdunord.com just paid off. Looks like they ARE booked to play on the 28th at Memoire et Racines, the weekend that Dara and I will be in Quebec! Which means that the priority of getting to that festival for a day trip on the 28th…

Note to my brain: no, you may not write this yet
Memo to my brain: No, you may NOT write a short story based on the Le Vent du Nord song “Le dragon de Chimay”. No matter how awesome a mental image you have in your head of a dragon breaking out of chains that hold him underground and surging up into the open air in…

Montreal chimes in on the Great Canadian Adventure!
HEL-LO, the Montreal portion of the Great Canadian Summer Adventure just got way, WAY more interesting! I have had THIS brought to my attention–most recently by Monsieur de Grosbois-Garand, that fine gentleman who gave me the nifty flute lesson. I’d already discovered it poking around various band schedules to see if anything fascinating might crop…
