Been spending a bit of time each day with the new book project at http://requiredreadings.ca As I’ve posted here before, it’s a page on which Meg and I are putting together a list culturally-significant writings across genres – fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays. It’s a hell of a lot of work – the list sits [...]

The Book Blog

Just a quick note today. The new book blog is up at http://requiredreadings.ca Still in progress, of course, and I am welcoming suggestions. For now it’s primarily just a list, but we’ll be trying to do short posts on a different entry every day. Read. Debate. Read more.
Nothing Important

A rainy Saturday in Vancouver. Up this morning, we managed to get out into the garden before we got too wet, a chance to move some plants around, re-mulch the back area and generally clean up the part of the yard that is to be home to the bee-hive once it is finished and the [...]
Getting Back

Been thinking for some time that I should get back to writing here – mostly because I find that it is good for my own reflection, and a practice that does indeed contribute something to my life when I do it regularly. Hard, though, to get back into it, largely because I always feel like [...]
Well, That Was Unexpected…

Well, first off – holy shit. This little blog has only ever been a place for me to knock of whatever is on my mind and to keep a few far-flung friends apprised of the goings-on in my life. And that means I generally expect that somewhere between ten and thirty people check in, very [...]
Nope. Not Writing.

Well, after a couple of months of this, I think we can say it’s official. While Meg and I are hugely encouraging of each others’ writing, and while we can develop ideas and projects and write together, we are certainly bad for one another’s discipline. Both of us have seen our posts drop way off [...]
This’n'That: blogging and songs, Lemmy and awkward moments
Posted in Misc., tagged Blogging, Music, Personal on June 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I normally sit down to do these posts when I have something in mind - a story in the news, a particular thing happening in my life, a recurring thought to sort through. Today, though, I’m just here. So you’ll have to forgive the “general-update” tone. Meg and I did the second dining-out thing for our newish [...]

Meg is working on a book project – taking bits and pieces of writing out of a specific political history of hers and trying to piece them together into a single narratve. It’s a pretty incredible and pretty important story, and she’s my girl, so I am excited about this myself. And I find it’s [...]
Viaduct

An old photo. A new project. A bit over a week ago Meg and I decided to embark on our own little chronicle of East Van – its institutions, its food, its history, its people, its struggles and celebrations and possibilities. Viaduct, we’re calling it, though viaducteast is its web-name. Why viaduct? Well, the Georgia Viaduct is [...]

Was thinking about my brother, Dennis, today. When I was a kid Den was the coolest thing going – he knew everything (still does, though he does his damndest to hide it), he had girls lining up, and he was convinced – as I was convinced – that he was gonna be a rock and [...]
