In a memorable and creative video, YouTube user MonsieurCaron has created a short video featuring the Simpsons with its classic couch gag, all entirely animated with Lego pieces. To make it even more interesting, characters from the LEGO movie also make an appearance. Quirky and humorous, this video is sure to make anyone smile.
A few weeks ago, my blog was “all about winning,” with debate being my inspiration (I came 1st). This week, I failed to make it to nationals, so I decided that I would make a “second chapter,” and talk about losing. I’ll be analyzing this idea of losing in depth, and give some personal insight…
We’ve all experienced that horrible feeling after finishing a great novel. You never really accept that the last few pages will eventually run out, but once they have, you’re consumed by an overwhelming cloud of despair and sadness. Thankfully, I’ve suffered through enough of these dreaded “book hangovers” to come up with a few ways…

So in my last post I taught you how to keep your face protected from the harsh winter, but now we’re going to focus on keeping your kisser kissable. Why? Because I suck at eye and face makeup, but my lips are on point. Plus, when you’re sick, chapped, lifeless lips are the first giveaway. Enter…
Only four days await until the ultimate accomplishment of fans arrives on the big screen. Unless you have been under the hood of a car or baking under the blazing sun in Neptune, California, you are probably aware of the Veronica Mars movie that premieres this Friday. What makes this movie such an accomplishment of…
Curling was the only sport I ended up watching during the Olympics, as it conveniently came on live around 10 p.m. MST. Surprisingly, in contrast to my initial impressions of the sport, I ended up more interested than I expected. Now that the Canadian Brier has just finished, I thought this the perfect time to…

Tim Horton’s has nothing on this place! In a tiny nook in southeast Calgary there sits an amazing cafe called the Cornerstone Music Cafe. I was unaware of this great place until I came over to it during YYC’s Hot Chocolate Fest, where I managed to drink in the indulgence that was my Hot Mayan…
As we approach the end of the first week of March, it may seem like the month is just beginning. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the month of March has decided to be a 31 day month.
