The final of the Rugby World Cup featuring Canada vs. England is this coming Saturday, September 27 at 8am PT/11am ET. Canada triumphed over the New Zealand Black Ferns, who had won the last two Rugby World Cup, in spectacular fashion in the semi-finals. What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is that Canada is …
Andor is one of the most exceptional shows I have ever seen. Maybe it is the fact that it is a prequel, with a clear end point to reach, that helped keep a high quality bar throughout. Well, that and the ageless genetics of Diego Luna who plays a younger version of the titular Cassian …
The Wheel of Time quietly put out one of the strongest seasons of a fantasy show that I’ve seen in many turns of the wheel. While I found Seasons 1 and 2 somewhat inconsistent – Season 3 finally finds its strong footing. The main protagonists have come into their own, supported by intriguing, new supporting …
I had the best intentions of doing a wrap-up post of 2024 highlights before the end of the year, but the holiday lethargy/turkey coma set in and I didn’t feel particularly inspired to spend more time on the computer. Instead, I squirrelled into books, went on outdoor adventures, played guitar, and spent time with the …
Amongst the places most beloved by friends on their Spanish adventures was San Sebastián, or Donostia as it is known in Basque.

Aubrey Plaza is THE MOMENT right now, starring …
A lot of people have been finding this blog by way of a post I made a couple of years ago on My Favourite Novels With a WLW Focus , so I thought I’d do a refresh with new books I’ve subsequently enjoyed. Here are my additions from over the last two years! 6 Times …
It’s been a remarkable 19 days in Paris full of remarkable feats of mental and physical strength. These Olympics have been such a joy to watch, full of beautiful Parisian scenery and crowds of fans that were deeply missed during Tokyo 2021. While it’s hard to pick favourites, and recognizing that I wasn’t able to …
I finally checked off another major Canadian city off my list! I decided to extend my most recent trip back East and fly from Toronto to Montréal for three nights. Wanting to avoid the chaos of Pearson Airport, I instead opted to take a small propeller plane out Billy Bishop airport, which saw me flying …
