Vancouverite; music-lover; small-time foodie; some kind of news/politics junkie; new wife!! You will often find me at a computer or peering into my iPhone.
The name of the blog comes from the song "Reckoner" by Radiohead. I've seen them in concert nine times in five countries, which is really negligible by the standards of some of my friends.

“Gas tax holiday”
This is the biggest bullshit line ever. I spent more than $8 to fill Enzo just yesterday (a first), so I’m fully aware of the rising cost of gas (in Canada as it is in the US, forever and ever, … Continue reading
Friday!
I like Fridays. Opportunity to sleep in on the weekend, spend more time cuddling the dog and the cats, etc. This weekend, Lise and Carey are popping in from Saskatoon, last trip back before the baby ! w00t. Looking forward … Continue reading
Ugh.
I’m not staying up all night to chew my nails over the caucuses. She still hasn’t kicked his ass with anything like the vigour with which he has kicked hers in most of the states he’s won. I mean right … Continue reading

Humanization. And a Panic Play.
OK, like, WTF? The NY Times comments that the whole “pimped out” episode has served to “humanize” Hillary Clinton, to her benefit. This is the biggest, most influential newspaper to have endorsed her. What are the newspapers who don’t like … Continue reading
Mrs Terminator FTW?
Maria Shriver has joined the Kennedy-Obama lovefest. I’m very very curious to know what tomorrow’s headlines will read. I can’t help it; my admiration of Bill as president has eroded over time. Hillary’s (calculated?) emo moments leave me as cold … Continue reading
Kennedys, Butler and Newsom on same wavelength.
I don’t know really why a Kennedy aristocracy should seem so much more palatable, or why the Kennedy Opinion should matter so much, but the fact is, when someone with the surname Kennedy who hails from New England speaks, people … Continue reading
Skinny indie kids to vote for Obama
Pitchfork reads Win Butler’s blog, evidently, and Win is encouraging the kids to vote for Obama, partlly from a desire to avoid the near-monarchic, quasi Tudor-Stuart situation another Clinton presidency would provide. Let’s see, if we had Hillary for eiight … Continue reading
