Get Your Goat On

So maybe you don’t live in Vancouver. And these blogs about Vancouver restaurants are stupid-boring and useless to you. Or maybe I just like to fish for compliments.

I Call Fowl

I Call Fowl

Look, I’m the first person to shake my lady-like fist at anybody who uses the internet to put people down, be it in the name of I Hate So-and-So Clubs, “complaint threads” for actors you can’t stand simply for playing a character they had nothing to do with writing, mean and nasty blogs and reviews [...]
