  • Travel Tales, Uber Drivers & Consumption Breaks

    Kwene recounts some sights, sounds and experiences from travels to Saskatchewan and British Columbia (SaskTel has her new favourite cable show!), analyzes the current state of Uber drivers (maybe don't answer your dealer on the job?) and learns the patterns META has learned about her (gentle reminder to consume more outside the screen).

  • Disney Pricing, Wendy Williams & the optics of Grace

    Kwene gawks at the true cost of a Disney experience (the price of magic is $1749 + tax apparently), highlights the iconic sea-faring journey of a Canadian Captain (you won't get seasick with Captain Williams at the helm!) and comes full circle on her previous stance around grace (being the bigger person is overrated!).

  • Blue Man Group, Cruises & Ageing Women

  • Tech Updates, Ryan Wedding & Marathon Cheaters

    Kwene is beyond miffed over tech updates that make tech worse (never wanted to be a STEM major so bad..), gives an overview of Canada's most prolific Olympic hopeful/global fugitive (2002 was a simpler time for us all) and discusses the rise of marathon dishonesty as cheating soars (your reminder that running is a privilege.)

  • The Golf League, Apple Maps & #SearchTheLandfill

    Kwene confesses to being the #1 super fan of the hippest form of golf around (G&CT x TGL collab coming soon), is befuddled by the impracticality of Apple's digital cartography (why am I correcting you when you're the map???) and provides updates on the Prairie Green Landfill search, three years later (these women can finally return home).
