Check Out My Pie

   When my gran came to see Mamma Mia with me (as you will know from reading my previous blog post) she gave me a whole whack apples that she picked from her tree.    I have made one pie people and that was a blueberry pie. I mistakingly bought a very large package of blueberries but didn't even come close to eating them all. So I made a pie.    Never before have I attempted to ...

Mamma Mia!

I won tickets to go see Mamma Mia when I entered a contest with Breakfast Television. BT played a compilation of ABBA songs and the viewer had to name all of them. After I had won them, the only person that I would think of taking is my gran who loves the theatre. I was even going to buy tickets for me and my gran, but they were really expensive.

Whenever I look at my phone, I have received a Twitter alert and sometimes when I go to my Twitter home page it is hard to navigate through the mountain of information that I have before ...

I need it, I just don't know why. Apple Peer Pressure

Up until yesterday, I was Appleless. I know what you are thinking, but people like me actually do exist. This may shock you but I have never owned an iPad, iPod, iPhone, iMac or any other Apple device.  Well, that was until yesterday when my Apple cherry was popped. I was always content with the technology that I had, an MP3 player, a PC and a Moterola. How could I be so naïve?   A Blackberry Storm is what I bought for school because MTS doesn't carry the iPhone. Now that I have come to school in the Creative Communications program at Red River College, I can clearly see how much I stand out and how much I am actually in need of one.  It is a wonder that I am surviving ...
