I really adore board games, and it feels great to be playing more frequently again these days. I've definitely hosted a bunch of games nights this year (2012), and will likely to continue to do so as time goes on (not sure when I'll plan the next one, but eventually, of course!). Huge thanks to… Continue reading Feels great to be playin' again!

As you might well know, I rather enjoy playing games on my iPod Touch. I have an Android phone and only ever play one game on it (it's Flags with Friends, a game that a friend recommended to me). Last night we kids taught my mom how to play Draw Something on the iPad, and… Continue reading On Social Mobile Gaming…

On Friday, I visited the Muttart Conservatory for the first time in my memory. And while there are many things that I could type about right now about that visit, I wanted to type about the awesomeness of the facility, and I guess my visit to a certain extent. The Muttart Conservatory is made up… Continue reading A trip to the Muttart

If you ever watch a movie with me, you'll quickly notice that I get very engrossed with the plot and emotionally affected/involved with the story/characters etc. Recently I watched two films in the theatres: Project X (which I didn't really like) and The Hunger Games (which I enjoyed). While one movie is set hypothetically in… Continue reading Plausibility in films

But what was surprising to me was the power outages. One woke me up yesterday morning — or rather the… Continue reading Yesterday it snowed…

Given that I guess I've been on OKCupid for over a month now… I figured I'd type out some of the initial comments I have about online dating itself (no specifics, of course — I'm not dumb enough to a) post publicly about people I'm still potentially going to see again or have crushes on… Continue reading So, general comments regarding online dating…

There are a ton of different topics I'd like to type about right now, but I guess I'll just choose one for this particular posting. And that topic is ballroom dance, specifically the dance I attended on Saturday night. You see it had been well over a year since I had last attended any ballroom… Continue reading Dancing again

So it's Day of DH today. So rather than reading my usual musings here… check out my blog for the day at: http://dayofdh2012.artsrn.ualberta.ca/alikira/ Now back to your regularly scheduled programming, I guess.

This thought has come to mind several times in the past several days, that while I don't really want to do a 'bucket list' so to speak that it would be useful to have a list on my blog of some of the awesome things THAT I HAVEN'T DONE YET that I would like to… Continue reading Fun things… (I would like to do at some point)
