Cameron Carpenter – 10CC – Hip Hip Hooray

Let’s celebrate. There is still hope. We get a chance to see them again and thank them for what they mean to the fabric of Canada. Recently we have had no warning and no chance to say thanks or goodbye, this time we do. My history with the band goes back a long way and I hope Johnny Fay, Gord Sinclair, Rob Baker, Paul Langlois and Gord Downie have a farewell tour that will go down in rock’n’roll history. Take your victory lap boys, you have earned it.  Tickets go on sale Friday June 3 and the dates are as follows:

Nadia Elkharadly: Trigger – A Movie Review

Despite my most wholehearted wish, I am not a writer by trade.  As some of you may or may not know, I have a day job.  I work in an office, a corporate drone, so Monday mornings, especially those Mondays after particularly good/fun/relaxing/not long enough weekends are possibly the most dreaded time ever.  So when it’s a Monday like today, where I’ve taken a day off, are the most wonderful days ever.  This morning I woke up late, and got out of bed at my leisure.  I made some coffee and turned on my TV.  Flipping the channels I landed on one of the millions of movie specific stations offered and paused at a specific title.  Trigger.  I tucked into my coffee, curled up in my arm chair, and watched.  And as a result, I am now sitting down to write my first ever movie review.
