Anyone who knows me (this is Nicole writing) is likely rolling their eyes as they read who I’ve chosen to profile as this week’s muse, and that is because anyone who knows me is well aware that I have developed a slight obsession over the last few months. If you’re wondering how those who know […]

If you have not watched all of Parks and Recreation you should really just go and do that right now. Most people who have never seen this series refer to it as “the show that tried to be The Office that no one really watched.” But those of us who have loved Pawnee for seven […]
Last week, Jess, Cleo and I spent a day in Niagara-On-The-Lake. A nice perk and useful benefit of The Shaw Festival recommending your show through a TCR grant is complimentary tickets to their season. This is particularly wonderful because NOTL is expensive (like, $34 for a 5oz glass of wine and a caesar salad kind […]

Congratulations to them, and a big thank you to everyone who […]
An Open Letter To Dr. Mae Jemison Dear Dr. Mae Jemison, I am going to talk to you as if you were my friend because I choose to believe that maybe if we met one another, we would be friends. I can see it now…we’re watching that episode of Star Trek you were in (TNG: […]

Right? Either way, this fast-talkin’ […]
Even though submissions for The Muddy Mary Project’s 2015 festival are now closed, if you’re reading this, you’re likely a creative person. And let’s be honest… sometimes the creative gates fly right open when you’re a little bit tipsy. It’s true, even Hemingway said so. So, because it’s Friday and you hopefully don’t have to […]
My favourite app on my phone is the dictionary. I know what you’re thinking “This girl sounds super cool and really fun,” to which I say, “thank you, I am.” I love so many things about this app. I love that it doesn’t yell at me to check notifications. I love that it tells me […]
