Let’s go Rome! For those of you who don’t know, I am off to England and Italy tomorrow for three weeks of social and quasi-religious fulfilment. (Read: seeing friends, drinking cider, and buying Pope paraphernalia which I hope will include pictures of him – JP, not B – smoking a fatty).

In other, more professional news, my piece about “Geek Love” appears on the cover of The Tyee today, in honour of St. Valentine and all the evil he hath wrought.

Other than that, nothing is new. I am hosting a Gilmore Girls soiree tonight, and Darrell is going to the bar with his buddies. Now, THAT, my friends, is love.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

It always leaves me laughing,
Jen

P.S. 2018-05-25: I was referencing the classic Canadian bank Spirit Of The West in this post. If you are a Canadian person of a certain age, you probably listened to this band a lot in your youth. You probably danced like a wild thing to Home For a Rest at a dingy bar, countless times. You might be getting old. Here is a little concert doc about the band’s one, only, and final show at Toronto’s Massey Hall. It’s kind of sad.
