Winter is ...Coming?

"April showers bring forth May flowers". Or so the old saying goes. This is what we here in Edmonton woke up to this morning.

What could cause this kind of weather so far into Spring? Global warming messing with the weather patterns, a simple weather anomaly created by some cold front being pulled down from the north, or maybe the last gasp of the Progressive Conservatives collective psyche. lashing out one last time. Whatever the cause, we that live in the North are no stranger to these odd weather occurrences.

My own theory. Only one thing I can think of causes this kind of sudden cold weather...new neighbours are coming.

...now where did i put that piece of dragon glass.

May The 4th Be With You!

Happy Star Wars day to all the fans of that "galaxy far far away" that George Lucas introduced us to all those years ago.

It's a pretty good time to be a Star Wars fan. The first of a new batch of movies is due out in December, the "Star Wars; Rebels" TV show seems to be doing well, as well as Marvel putting out a whole bunch of new Star Wars comics.

While there are lots of cool stories and ideas form the "expanded universe" that I will miss as these new movies re-write the story, I just have to remind myself that just because they won't be considered canon any longer that doesn't mean that they aren't good stories. Never the less, its still a good time to be a lover of all things Star Wars.
