One of my favourite things about film is the great associations films can have with words and ideas (spoiler alert for today’s wisdom). For instance, whenever I think of taking a road trip, I can’t help but remember 2000’s road sex comedy movie of the same name, Road Trip. That movie is chock full of…
You ever get that feeling? That you know which person, place or thing is going to win an award or accolade? It’s a rare gift to anticipate the results, and most of the time these kinds of decisions are made based on results or conditions, but sometimes it seems like they are totally arbitrary. Which…
It’s just a phase, it’ll pass, I promise. That’s what they tell you when you’re growing up, anyway. Then you learn that adults tell you those things to keep you quiet and to simplify a subject far more complex than their tired minds are willing to handle. Well no longer, dear readers. This week’s featured…
In what seems to be a backlog of entries… Special thanks to my car problems and computer problems for delaying the last post of this kind, this post, and one more future post.. I have ANOTHER delayed post to deliver up. One which is now 4 months in the making… That’s right, I’m releasing another featured…

That’s the way it is with great people; those visionaries and leaders who appeared at the right time and…
Great men and women are always to fascinating to the world. It’s almost as if people expect that by analyzing them, they’ll get insight into how to achieve their level of success and become them, without doing any real work. Almost cult-like behaviour. How fitting, given this week’s movie review topic. Steve Jobs (2015) Cast: Michael Fassbender,…
The Game of Thrones TV show and the book series which it is based off of, A Song of Fire and Ice, features a rather complex fantasy world with various belief systems and a cast of interesting and rich characters to fill these roles. One of these belief systems in the world is the religion of…
Hey there dear readers! I hope your weekend has been excellent and full of art and all kinds of awesome and amusing things! Oh thanks, but how are you doing Tim? Oh, very good, thanks for asking! Well, actually I’m feeling a little out of touch with reality, to be honest. My weekend started on the…
I’ve written about the band CSS once already in recent months, as an opener to a Melodic Monday entry on Grimes, in fact. But because this is a music reference, I’m okay to play like a broken record and write about this week’s Timely Thursday entry on timotheories with a repetitive start. Cansei de Ser Sexy (CSS) is a rock group from…
