Silent fireworks
Halifax is seriously considering using a new type of firework. One that won’t make any loud noises. Are you fucking kidding me? That’s the best goddamn part of the fireworks. BOOM. Its sound waves echo off buildings and can be heard for miles. Those are the ones that bring a smile to my face. I […]

Pete’s Frootique juice-bar guy
On March 6 I was at Pete’s on Dresden Row, and a prettttyyy cute/put-together guy stood behind me.

Bridge-crossing blues
OK: the traffic-funnelling system used on the Dartmouth side of the Macdonald Bridge resembles a demolition derby. And selfish, risk-taking drivers who race from the left side to the one green-lighted lane on the right just make a shitty situation worse.

Socks versus my family
A few weeks ago, I submitted a bitch about pipeline protestors causing my propane to be rationed. The bitch was never posted. I figured that maybe you had more important things to do or more important bitches to publish. Oh boy was I wrong! You just posted a bitch about socks over pants. WTF? Are you really […]
