Tunnocks Teacakes Forever: May 2009
http://otterscoffer.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Spreading the gospel according to Tunnocks of Uddingston,Scotland; creators of the finest confection/biscuit known to mankind. Currently kebabless, rootless and temporarily boozeless. Saturday, May 30, 2009. Rave on John Donne. Well congratulations, you got here first and reconnoitred the upsides and the downsides before bagging a trawl of fish and considering further horizons. In the breasts of the unruly heathen natives. It's a tough piece of gristle to chew on, but what can I do? Recipe to which only ...

Life happens between books: Paranoia
http://lucyfishwife.blogspot.com/2010/06/paranoia.html
Life happens between books. Sometimes even books happen between books. One at a time? Tuesday, 15 June 2010. So after some months of quite hair-raising ineptitude on the part of Banco Santander De Abbey National (or whatever), I am in the process of switching to First Direct, mostly because I haven't heard anybody I know moan about them so far. This, however, involves sending them a current bank statement - IN THE POST? Flattered as I am by their touching faith in my honesty, I have had to decline so man...

This Crazy Industry: Witch Editing Skool
http://crazyindustry.blogspot.com/2010/04/witch-editing-skool.html
A weblog about the glamorous publishing industry: books, editing, writing, style, language, long hours, poor salaries (or no salaries), grant money, authors, and very few cocktail parties. Sunday, April 25, 2010. Because it's come up a few times in comments to Becoming an Editor. And in conversation, I'm putting this disclaimer in a separate post. The question in question is some variant on "Should I go to Ryerson or George Brown? The answer is "I don't know.". In Toronto, Centennial College and Humber C...

Tunnocks Teacakes Forever: August 2009
http://otterscoffer.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Spreading the gospel according to Tunnocks of Uddingston,Scotland; creators of the finest confection/biscuit known to mankind. Currently kebabless, rootless and temporarily boozeless. Saturday, August 29, 2009. Libraries are hotbeds of sexual tension. Urgencies are repressed next to the photocopier, there are muffled fumblings in the archives, the Shelf Stacker has dreams about shagging Tracy the Tesco checkout girl. She's gagging for it. Friday, August 28, 2009. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Hey Hey What ...

Slightly Read: 'The Redbreast' by Jo Nesbø
http://slightlyread.blogspot.com/2011/09/redbreast-by-jo-nesb.html
Monday, September 5, 2011. The Redbreast' by Jo Nesbø. A book about neo-Nazis and psychotic gunmen running around Oslo was a disconcerting thing to be reading on the 22nd of July, 2011, as Anders Breivik went on the rampage. Despite how this sounds, Nesbø has fashioned a surprisingly subtle and intelligent thriller, whose parallels with the Norway attacks are fuel for the fire of those who claim that crime novelists are often the writers with their fingers closest to the national pulse. Thats mighty good...

And if this keeps up, there won’t be any
http://disabledfeminists.com/2009/11/05/and-if-this-keeps-up-there-wont-be-any
FWD (feminists with disabilities) for a way forward. I want to develop a more accessible website. What do I do? Media and pop culture. And if this keeps up, there won’t be any. And if this keeps up, there won’t be any. 5 November, 2009. My pet hate: “Crip Drag”. Crip Drag is when a character has a disability, but the actor playing that character doesn’t have whatever disability they are portraying. Recent examples that come to mind are Kevin McHale, who plays Artie on. Walk They may walk with a cane, or ...

TREAD SOFTLY: I LOOK FORWARD TO THE EVENINGS
http://treadsoftly-marylou.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-look-forward-to-evenings.html
Monday, 2 November 2009. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE EVENINGS. Now, it is not that I am a “night person”. It isn’t that I come alive at night, or that I haunted bars or nightclubs as a young woman. I don’t find darkness a stimulus for creativity or reproductive activities. I actually prefer all such activities in daylight. It has an obverse illicit feel somehow. 4 November 2009 at 15:24. Lovely post, Marylou. 9 November 2009 at 11:31. When I am lucky I find a book, and then I lose myself. Keep up the good work!

TREAD SOFTLY: January 2009
http://treadsoftly-marylou.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 24 January 2009. It’s been awhile now since I have had a dream that stayed with me in such a visceral way. Apparently, we all dream in some form or another during that phase called REM sleep, the deep, consolidating, replenishing phase that occurs in the later hours of sleep. Or as WS put it,"sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care." (Or not! While I was chatting with my son last night to wish him Happy Birthday, he asked the usual, “What’s new? His mortgaged mind immediately responded,...
