Secret televisual pleasure
I am really enjoying Big Love on Movie Central - not saccharine sweet... stuff actually goes wrong and isn't solved by the end of the episode, bad decisions reap bad consequences - and no adverts!!!!!!!!!!
Blogging Challenge
So cheezy cheeky laid the challenge:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open it at page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence/ phrase.
4. Blog the next four sentences/ phrases together with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig your shelves for that very special or intellectual book.
6. Pass it forward to six friends.
So here goes:
She clucked to her team and started for the barn. I walked beside her, feeling vexed. Was she going to grow up boastful like her mother, I wondered? Before we reached the stable, I feel something tense in her silence, and glancing up I saw that she was crying. She turned her face from me and looked off at the red streak of dying light, over the dark prarie.
This reminded me of a great book on my bookshelf that I'd not picked up in a while - My Antonia by Willa Cather - a tale of immigration to the American west.

A Party Political Broadcast - but not as you know it...
They don't make them like this where I'm from...
If you subscribe to one podcast this year...
I really enjoyed Justin Webb on last week's From Our Own Correpondent,
Alberta Elections #1
Now it should be stated up front that I'm not eligible to vote in the forthcoming Alberta Provincial Elections - but given that everyone wherever they live seems qualified to give an opinion on the US presidential campaign I thought I'd join the fun.
Background:
The Tories have been in power since the dawn of time, Alberta has a lot of oil - got that?... now we begin.
I found this quite funny: Edspedia
And just to show you don't need a budget:
