2025 Reading Review

I read more in 2025 than I have in a long time. Part of it is the job [English teachers need to read], part of it is dedicating time to it, part of it is the kids getting older so I both have more time to read [toddlers are constant input/output machines, and I was never good at disconnecting from that] and I think modelling good reading is important to growing kids [the more they see you read,…

2025 Film Round Up

I watched 310 films in 2025 – that’s more films than I have watched in a calendar year for as long as I can remember [I never really counted before, though Teen Ryan probably landed somewhere close, room-dwelling screen goblin that he was].I track my films on Letterboxd because it’s the only social media that matters. TRAIN DREAMS was far and away my favourite film of 2025 – beautiful and with a…

Book Fair Haul Feb 2024

I love going to the Lifeline Book Fair. It’s making money for a great charity. It’s a warehouse full of books. I never quite know what I’ll find. This past week was no different, so here’s what I brought home. The big win here for me was finally finding a copy of Michael Chabon’s MAPS & LEGENDS, which I’d never been able to find in the wild before. Scoring the very slim early stories of J.D.…

What Is Best In Life? - 2023 Edition

Happy new year – 2024 is nearly here. I don’t know why, but typing 2024 seems really strange and futuristic to me, in a way no other year has for a very long time. I expect 2025 to be even stranger as we hit a quarter century down. As usual, this round up is a series of things of things I imbibed and dug this year. I offer them up as something I advocate for you to try, also. Also as always, I…

Papercuts Comic Festival - This Weekend

I love a good comics event. Love it. There’s something creatively energising about them, but they’re also great group therapy – the same people with the same problem get together all weekend to share tips and commiserations about this thing we love: comics. Comic Conventions are cool, but they often feel more sprawling than my brain can handle. As such, enter Papercuts Comic Festival. I cannot…
