Ready To Walk A Mile?

You know you want a pair.

This last weekend my two sisters-in-law brought me heels knowing that I’m prepping for the Walk a Mile In Her Shoes event. I need to start practicing if I’m going to make a full mile in these. And for the record, the person that invented heels was one sadistic puppy!

If you’re not familiar with the event, it’s a fundraiser for the White Ribbon Campaign (men working to end men’s violence against women). I am fully behind this cause and we all should be. So if you’re not planning to “walk a mile” in the city nearest you, sponsor someone and get out there and cheer us on for a great cause.

I’ll post again on this and my progress as things go. I have a treadmill and, believe me, I’ll be using it.

In the meantime, here’s a great article by Loveleen Kaur Chawla that’s worth reading.

I was feeling a little nostalgic today and looked up one of my favourite Cirque performances from Alegria (see below). Then I thought I’d check out what they have that’s new. And, lo and behold, there is Ovo! I can’t wait!

Here is a clip from Alegria:

Atttention all fantasy buffs, here’s something to add to your collection. SciFi/Fantasy stalwart Andy Remic’s new book, Kell’s Legend from Angry Robot Books. Mark this on your calendar!

“They came from the north, and the city fell.
It is a time for warriors, a time for heroes.
Kell’s axe howls out for blood.

Ferocious fantasy from a real-life hardman come to claim the post-Gemmell world.

The land of Falanor is invaded by an albino army, the Army of Iron. A small group set off to warn the king: Kell, ancient hero; his granddaughter, Nienna and her friend, Katrina; and the ex-Sword Champion of King Leanoric, Saark, disgraced after his affair with the Queen.

Fighting their way south, betrayal follows battle follows deviation, and they are attacked from all quarters by deadly albino soldiers, monstrous harvesters who drain blood from their victims to feed their masters, and the twisted offspring of deviant vachine, the cankers. As Falanor comes under heavy attack and crushing invasion, only then does Nienna learn the truth about grandfather Kell – that he is anything but a noble hero, anything but a Legend.”
