25 Questions with Author Kate Inglis
Kate Inglis • The Dread Crew I joined the Kate Inglis fan club during its formative years, in the early 1990s. It seems a lifetime ago, just after the migraines became my daily routine, so my memories of that time are shrouded in a heavy Nova Scotia fog. But I remember Kate well. It was [...]

English Broken II
Kristina and I recently received a lovely bottle of Mexican vanilla that came with the following tag: Villa Vainilla is a warm and exuberant place that id (sic) felt or perceived. It is found deep in human intimacy. It can be defined or hidden amidst feelings or even in the labyrinth of senses such as [...]

English Broken Here
A collection of English signs and notices that have been discovered throughout the rest of the world. In a Bucharest hotel lobby: The lift is being fixed for the next day.

The Conservative government of Stephen Harper doesn’t support it. I’m hoping we can change his mind. If you haven’t heard about it, here’s a few [...]

Crow Porn
We noticed these mating crows just outside our window this morning. Their union was quite touching, very quiet and still, with much grooming and affection. Which, as everyone knows, is the exact opposite of how crows normally behave. Kristina informs me that they are now partners for life.

The Death of Literature
Imagine our world without literature. Whenever I can cobble moments together, I write. It’s my first, best thing. I have a middle reader under development that will be a pretty good book once I commit the final chapter to paper. It’s what I do with every stolen minute. I write because I love to read. [...]

About 18 months ago, the following meme made its way around the Internet’s food blogs, and I thought it would be fun to revive it. I believe that it originated at Very Good Taste. It’s just one person’s list of foods that every foodie should try. I spent 10 years in the restaurant industry, and [...]
