Well fuuuuck me. The Sephora app only updated my billing addy (when I updated both shipping & billing) and now a stranger is getting the order I placed for my birthday. 😭

My unplanned & ridiculously long hiatus - L.D. Blakeley It’s now officially been Too Long™ since I’ve published a single word. Three years if anyone’s counting. I certainly have. Truth be told it’s been nearly that long since I’ve written anything either. Oh, I’ve started many a project. But for various and sundry reasons, they’ve all fizzled out and been filed away in that […]

Oh, how I wish I could have been there in person! We paid for the live stream, had friends over and made a whole day of it.

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s farewell show was less Live Aid, more Loud Aid With merging and collaborating metal acts swapping over on a revolving stage, it’s a fast-spinning Lazy Susan of metal history. Yet there’s precious little ego and plenty of heartfelt humility

What a fucking show! A fantastic send-off. Thanks for the music, Ozzy! 🤘

Okay, here are some reality checks about Canadian book sales and what Canadian authors actually earn. The only way to keep them writing is to buy their books or urge your library to add them to their collection. 1

Well, shit. Now that I have space to unpack ALL my books, I see my original mm paperback copy of Interview with the Vampire (purchased in 1985) has gone walkabout.

Fuck whomever borrowed it and never gave it back 😒 If only libib had existed back then. Also smartphones. And the Internet.

I love this so much! 🇨🇦🍁
