Nerd culture must be experiencing a boom in Canada, because I ...

Living in Southern California makes me no stranger to to the Mexican holiday of Día de Muertos, otherwise known as Day of the Dead. However, I had never experienced one before and lucky for me, when the opportunity arose this weekend I jumped at the chance.

FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Inner Turmoil in Comics
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Oct. 17, 2014

It is finally October which means the smell of maple spice, burning firewood, and pumpkin pie fill the air. After having grown up with the Peanuts' “It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” and Ray Bradbury's book “The October Country”, I understand how much this month is cherished. Fall ...
