What I've Found: Washington State 2014
http://michellelindah.blogspot.com/2014/08/washington-state-2014.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2014. For our holiday in 2012, we went to Seattle. Birch Bay at low tide. Birch Bay with the tide in. Birch Bay State Park. On the Kingston-Edmonds ferry from just north of Seattle over to the Olympic Peninsula. Taking the Kingston-Edmonds ferry cuts out having to drive all the way south of Seattle to connect to the Olympic Peninsula. It was only a 20-minute crossing, and unlike BC Ferries, it wasn't expensive at all, and saved on a lot of gas. Dungeness Spit, near Sequim, Washington.

What I've Found: Post-Colonial Cookies
http://michellelindah.blogspot.com/2014/11/post-colonial-cookies.html
Thursday, November 13, 2014. Today I had the privilege of being a part of the best group presentation I've ever been associated with, and I don't say that lightly. I'm taking a post-colonial lit class that has a focus on India, and the text our group is working on throughout the semester is called. Early Christians of 21st Century. Of photos of Kandhamal as a background visual while we introduced our project to the class, and the images are stunning, although I do suggest muting the music that plays in t...

What I've Found: February 2014

Sunday, February 02, 2014. A review of 'Dateable: Are you? By Justin Lookadoo and Hayley DiMarco. This is a bit of a departure from my usual blog stuff - I mostly just needed somewhere to put this so that I could link to it from Goodreads! If a Christian perspective on teen dating isn't your thing, feel free to scroll on to the Monty Python post. :). If I were writing a book about teen dating (and given that this book review. Is clocking in at just over 2,000 words, maybe I should! Do you want to date?

Monday, January 05, 2015. Top Movies of 2014. 2014 wasn't really a great year for movies, until December came along with more movies than I had time to see! When I did my 2013 movie post. There were a few I was still hoping to watch; Saving Mr. Banks, August: Osage County. The new Jack Ryan one, Philomena. Austenland, Lone Ranger,. Saving Mr. Banks. Which was very good), Jack Ryan (which was good, but had a lot of unfulfilled potential), and. Another special mention goes to. So, for the 9 movies I did se...

Tuesday, May 27, 2014. The Fourth Season of Hell on Wheels. The Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo was a MONTH ago already! How did that happen? I still want to recap with whole weekend, because it was an epic one, but I'm going to start with a Hell on Wheels roundup. Hell on Wheels was not only renewed for a fourth season, they're doing 12 episodes instead of just 10. The cast and some assorted behind-the-scenes people did a panel at Comic Expo, and it was about time! Links to this post. Last week, an...

What I've Found: October 2013
http://michellelindah.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 27, 2013. I'm not dead yet! I've been sadly neglecting my blog - this semester totally got away from me! Between four classes, life in general, and planning a youth retreat, October slipped through my fingers. It's snowing like CRAZY today in Calgary (it's probably ankle-deep already! Which, of course, makes me think of summer. The most glorious weather of our whole summer holiday was the Saturday we were in Quesnel, BC, and our friend Sarah took us blueberry picking.

What I've Found: When Words Collide 2014
http://michellelindah.blogspot.com/2014/09/when-words-collide-2014.html
Thursday, September 04, 2014. When Words Collide 2014. I first went to When Words Collide in 2011, which was its first year, and I've gone every year since then. In 2012 I was inspired enough to blog each day: Friday. Last year I covered the whole weekend in just one post. And I think that's what I'll do again this year. Every year I come home with notes and handouts and a dog-eared program, and add a whole bunch of books to my to-read list. It's so much fun! Friday, 1 pm: Early Bird Live Action Slush.

Wednesday, August 14, 2013. When Words Collide 2013. This past weekend was the third annual When Words Collide here in Calgary. It's sort of a reader con, or a literary festival of genre fiction, and it's a great opportunity for learning and networking for writers, readers, editors, and publishers. My schedule is full of notes and stars next to names - I have a lot of new-to-me authors to add to my to read list now. Next I sat through three mystery-oriented panels in a row - Have Gun Will Murder, Violenc...

Saturday, August 30, 2014. Hell on Wheels Twitter Roundup. It's been a busy summer for the Hell on Wheels cast and crew! Links to this post. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. For our holiday in 2012, we went to Seattle. Birch Bay at low tide. Birch Bay with the tide in. Birch Bay State Park. On the Kingston-Edmonds ferry from just north of Seattle over to the Olympic Peninsula. That turned out to not be the case, and we spent three days pursing my dream of sitting quietly on a beach, reading. Built in the 1930...

Wednesday, September 25, 2013. I am buried under all the German homework, but today was exciting because I got to watch a live feed of the Soyuz launch and docking, in the background while I tried to write an essay in German about a my mythical trip to Berlin. Woot! It's unbelievably cool to sit at my computer and watch people get SHOT INTO SPACE. I feel like I'm in some kind of spec fic story! Here's a quick Twitter roundup of today's space-related events. Links to this post. Links to this post. Which i...
