I really enjoyed Megan Park’s first feature film – The Fallout – so I was eager to see My Old Ass, which stars Maisy Stella (who went viral at 8 years old for singing a cups-infused “Call Your Girlfriend” cover with her sister Lennon) and Aubrey Plaza. 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 …
Women’s college basketball has been popping off like never before, and with good reason. Basketball prodigies, like Caitlin Clark dropping infamous “logo threes” (shots launched from so far away that the shooter is still standing on the center court logo), are making highlight reels and drawing huge viewership — now that women’s games are actually being …

Wow – I just realized it’s been four years to the day since I started this blog. I suppose it’s not so “little” now that it has over 132 posts. I started this blog after returning from a one-month trip to New Zealand, where I found so much joy sharing my adventures and having so …
Another successful orbit of the Sun has been completed! Each year brings unforeseen challenges, and likely some foreseen ones, too. But, each year a lot of good does happen too, even if it is does sometimes grow from uncomfortable change or even sadness. In the spirit of that, here are some of my favourite memories …
I’ve been wanting to see How to Blow Up a Pipeline for a while. I really enjoyed Ariela Barer’s work in Marvel Runaways and was keen to see this movie that she not only acts in, but also co-wrote and co-produced. And, it did not disappoint. Fittingly for a 1 hr 43 min run time, …
Even with a writer’s strike, it turns out there was still a lot watch. Here are a few of my favourite TV shows from this year including a couple of dystopian thrillers, a stunning nature show, a modern murder mystery, and a hilarious twist on a superhero show. I’ve separated them into two categories: shows …
