Recently, my hometown of Halifax had its version of comic-con called Hal-Con. Lots of awesome things went down, but I think a lot of the people there would agree that the most awesome thing that went down was this flash mob seen below thanks to Missie Brown and others!
Enjoy and do share if you know others who would enjoy it!
Just watched Our Nixon on CNN, and my favourite part was this little rag at the end! A cute little ditty by sung by Barbara Foster and written by Myron Ace, its theme denounces the Washington/political tourist crowd that bombarded San Clemente after Richard Nixon moved to San Clemente’s coastal hamlet and bought the Cotton’s estate. To this day the home is still known as the Western White House.
I don’t think this song has ever gotten the attention it just got now on CNN! I get the feeling it’s gonna be sung a lot more often now with its catchy chorus of “Mr Nixon, you’re to blame” and Nixon’s image associated with the Watergate Scandal that seemed like everybody around Nixon went to jail for except Nixon.
Mr Nixon, you’re to blame… Mr Nixon you’re to blame…
Have you seen?
Coolest astronaut e-vah!!! And he’s CANADIAN!!!
One of the first patterns I ever tried sewing was Simplicity 5386, which was the duster coat copy from one of my favourite movies, The Matrix. Nice pattern. Horrible sizing. There was so much ease in the pattern I could have fitted a woman inside it along with myself, which would have been great for another type of garment but I digress…
And a hockey game just broke out of a kitchen party that just broke out in Heaven…
The Wayne Gretzky of Canadian music, legend Stompin’ Connors just passed away at the age of 77 of natural causes. The press release on his website is below. I sure hope he was watching or dreaming of a hockey game, or singing or doing something he loved. He will surely be greatly missed!
