But it isn’t just society that piles constant demands on our shoulders. We’re unkind to ourselves, demanding ever growing quantities of productivity to feel satisfied we’ve done our best.

There’s more than enough in the city to fill a full day.

The Meaning of Privacy The Meaning of Privacy By Megan Cutler | August 17, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment When I was young, we never imagined a camera in every phone. We hadn’t even realized you’d be able to use portable CD players the same way you used a walkman cassette player and, in fact, cameras still required film. Oh boy, I’m dating myself! What a fantastic and novel concept, a portable database of … Read More Read More
Highlights Highlights By Megan Cutler | August 3, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment When we finished our tour of the British Museum Enlightenment gallery, a mini museum of its own, we headed toward a special exhibit centred around the Vikings. I wasn’t fond of the way the British Museum laid out their special exhibits. It seemed random and lacklustre compared to a place like the ROM, which tends … Read More Read More
It’s All Connected It’s All Connected By Megan Cutler | July 27, 2015 | Comments 2 comments About a year ago I discovered Yoga. I had just suffered a month of major upheaval. It was though I forgot how to sleep. I would lay in bed until 5AM, then finally drift off for three our four hours. I wasn’t getting anywhere near enough sleep and I woke up way too late to … Read More Read More
The Mystery of the Ogopogo The Mystery of the Ogopogo By Megan Cutler | July 20, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment Did you know the Loch Ness monster has a little brother? Apparently he lives in a lake in British Columbia. Actually, I’m sure Nessie has many ‘siblings’ that inhabit many lakes across the world. These creatures are known as cryptids (part of the pseudoscience referred to as ‘cryptozoology’). That is, creatures which have been suggested, … Read More Read More
Meta Museum Meta Museum By Megan Cutler | July 6, 2015 | Comments 1 comment When you only have one day to spend at the British Museum, where do you start? My husband and I were lucky enough to be members for a year and, during that time, we tried to visit as many sections of the museum as possible. But when his family came to visit, we had only … Read More Read More
How Do You Like to Game? How Do You Like to Game? By Megan Cutler | June 22, 2015 | Comments 2 comments For a long time, I’ve wanted to write about my favourite video games. The problem is, they change so rapidly, the post would likely be out of date by the time it went up. (For those that don’t know, I write my blogs about a month in advance.) But today I had a brilliant idea … Read More Read More
Donnington Castle Donnington Castle By Megan Cutler | June 15, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment At the end of our trip to Scotland, half our international visitors had to return home, while the other half were headed on a two-week European tour. Some of us were vacationed out by that point (we did a lot of walking!) but we still had time with the remaining half our company. Luckily there’s … Read More Read More
The Soup of Life The Soup of Life By Megan Cutler | June 8, 2015 | Comments 1 comment Sometimes deep thoughts pop into my head while I’m cleaning the house. Cleaning day just so happens to coincide with blogging day; how convenient. During Yule, a friend of mine started a new tradition. For each day of the holiday, he would keep a stew boiling. He invited friends and family to visit, partake of … Read More Read More
