THIS IS WHERE YOU SAY SOMETHING WITTY

They say “write what you know.” All I know is that for the past week, I’ve been dealing with a severe case of writer’s block. Being that that’s what I know, that’s what I’ll write about.

My perfectly Frenched fingertips have been rhythmically tapping the keyboard of my MBP these days. Whether this has been spurred on by a lack of creativity or a lack of inspiration (or both), I can’t quite say. My camera’s been collecting dust, even though I’ve done lots as of late that could have easily been photographed.

Amy and I explored a Christmas craft fair on Thursday, my best friend adopted a kitten who has a penchant for kissing my eyelashes, and I managed to whip up an entirely wicked meal of rack of lamb over the weekend. Did I write blog posts about any of those events? Nope, sure didn’t. Did I take photos of any of those happenings? Nope, sure didn’t.

It’s always good to shake things up, make them new again and keep it fresh. Clearly I’ve been grasping at straws - I even went so far as to post a clip from Sesame Street! I’ve been toying with the idea of resuscitating my Wanton Wednesdays column (which faded into obscurity back in January). But I have also realized that you, my readers, must come here for one reason or another.

So tell me: what are the types of entries you most enjoy reading at www.Keira-anne.com? Or, in the alternative, what kind of blog posts would you like to see that haven’t been covered yet?

POKEY POKEY POKEY

It’s probably been at least a 67 years since I last posted a link fest, so here you go, Tuesday. Here’s a link feast…

  • First off, I want to take another quick opportunity to thank everyone who has been supporting the Paws For A Cause campaign. So far Matt and I have raised a staggering $4,709.50, as well as a ton of encouraging support that’s just as rich. There’s just over a month to go, so if you’d like to help out BC’s animals, click over to our donation page.

    The Goof Troop

  • Last night I had what I would call the absolute privilege of completing HBO’s “Band of Brothers” on DVD. Witnessing a glimpse of the struggle, horror and, at the same time, unbreakable bond has given me a vast and renewed appreciation for veterans who fought not for victory, but for freedom. To find out more about this fantastic 10-part mini series, click over to HBO’s official site.

  • Holy crap I’ve been watching a lot of rad-alicious movies lately, and not just “Band of Brothers” or “Pineapple Express.” This weekend, my eyes also caught sight of “Apocalyse Now: Redux” (the 2001 director’s cut, which clocks in at 202 minutes - yikes), “Blade Runner” and “In the Name of the Father.” All of these have been spectacular viewing, but I particularly recommend the latter starring Daniel Day-Lewis. When only one injustice is so grand, it truly makes you ponder how many countless prejudices occur around the world on a daily basis. And further, it causes one to question the so-called “War on Terror” as a whole. The trailer is here.

  • Did you miss the wine festival at Mt. Washington? Never fear, for September 5-7 are the dates to save for their Alpine Food Festival, sponsored by Beyond the Kitchen Door.

  • There’s still time to catch a Vancouver Canadians baseball game at the legendary Nat Bailey Stadium. The summer season ends on August 31, 2008, so here’s hoping my favourite girl will join me for hot dogs and some “hey batta batta swing!” before the season is done.

  • You know how your mother always told you not to poke your nose where it doesn’t belong? It seems as though the same can be said in other regards as well. Click here to find out why.

    • P.S. I love my MacBook Pro

    CANDY COATED BON-BONS

    Before I typed these words, I sat here staring at a blank screen. I haven’t written anything new in close to two days and, truth be told, I still don’t have much to say.

    [more staring...]

    I guess the only difference between this post and any other post I’ve written before is that I’m writing this one on, for the first time, my very own MacBook Pro.

    It’s sweet.

    This is me and Becky as M&Ms. She made it. We also sing and dance for a nominal fee.

    Okay, I m&m
