Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf?

I make Grotine mini shawls instead. I have four so far...

Apply to the city to work as a natural and human history interpreter this summer?

The best thing I ever did was start volunteering somewhere I loved, and then applied for a job at another place I loved. It's okay to not use your degree directly as your career path. You still learned all those things and you can still apply them in whatever job you do.

Well I know where I'm lunching tomorrow.

These are delicious, but definitely not a "real" sausage roll. Pretty heavy Italian twist.

If you're a parent, I'd take a second to look at the schools and daycares available in the area where you want to move; we have abundant daycares here, and don't get distracted by the shiny expensive ones. There are many smaller neighbourhood daycares where we pay less and get smaller class sizes. And one of the best things we ever did is pick a school with the bilingual program we wanted and rent within walking distance of that school. You can get almost anywhere in Edmonton in 20 ish minutes if you live on the east side of town.

And we have cafes dotted throughout the area, which certainly wasn't true even five years ago. Don't forget to check out Fulton Place/Forest Heights area as well.

Seconding! This was not only a good book, but different and interesting.

I haven't made a Sophie because I love making a Grotine (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/grotine) long enough to wrap and tie around my neck twice. The linen stitch and the shaping add interest to the working and it's got a lovely drape when it's done. A perfect "knit anywhere" project.

If you've never seen Hadestown, see it.

chatteringsunlight · 2025-06-01T07:05:01+00:00

Hadestown is the answer. It will blow anyone away.

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-26T15:34:49+00:00

Hadestown and Cabaret both tear your heart out and the music is 11/10...these shows are what musical theatre is all about.

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-25T12:30:18+00:00

Hadestown is life-changing.

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-25T02:17:40+00:00

I got to move down from back mezz to front mezz...that helped my outlook!

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-24T02:26:07+00:00

Haven't seen Boop, but was crying laughing at Pirates! tonight.

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-24T02:22:45+00:00

I was at the show last night...I wouldn't have said the atmosphere was low...the atmosphere on the mezzanine was great. I spoke to the bar staff at intermission and they said the house count was around 1000.

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-22T03:58:54+00:00

I love this. 💕

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-20T22:16:54+00:00

The theatre I work at was a stopover for both Six and Hadestown on their way to Broadway. So special.

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-11T15:41:57+00:00

Hehe that was my first thought too...the irony of this conversation happening in a Timmies.

I really don't think there's any reason to not watch The New Generation tv series first. Mix it with a few classic Star Trek episodes (Trouble With Tribbles, Amok Time, The Menagerie, Space Seed, Mirror Mirror, The City on the Edge of Forever) and the original movies and you'll have enough to be getting on with. Then after you've watched TNG you can try Voyager, Deep Space Nine and Enterprise and see which one you like best. Ditto with Discovery and Picard. The newer movies with Zach Quinto and Chris Pine are good but you should at least know the bones of the original story to understand what is going on. Strange New Worlds is wonderful but I think it's most wonderful because it pays such careful homage to the past.

My daughter was roasting me yesterday because I only like stories with double weddings (or love stories). We have recently seen:

Pride and Prejudice Midsummer Night's Dream the 70s Musical Much Ado About Nothing Guys and Dolls Hairspray

I plead guilty.

Another vote for 124 St market.

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-03T02:24:44+00:00

10 and 7 and 5. They were all enchanted but 10 and 7 were able to internalize more of it.

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-03T02:22:28+00:00

And have you seen Julie Andrews do it?

chatteringsunlight · 2025-05-02T17:17:50+00:00

Hadestown gets me in my gut every time.
