2007 in review

Monday, December 31st, 2007

In January I did some standup, got a charley horse, whinged about my daughter & got told to stay with Paul by my kids. Molly Ivins died, which was why I couldn’t find her posts any more. Of breast cancer, which was, even then, brushing closer to my life. I wrote “Ingathering”. My year looked [...]

Map of detention camps in Europa

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

This is very interesting, and not a little scary.  The article has a map link on the left hand side, quite a bit down the page.

So much for copyright!!!

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

If the copyright notice is so small you can’t f*cking read it, that’s not much protection. Anyway, this panel from Terry Moore’s Strangers in Paradise was an immediate favourite of librarians everywhere. Too bad you can’t tell it’s his. I just emailed him, partly to give him a heads’ up, and partly because I wanted [...]

Precis

New Year’s at Susanna and Jarmo’s Stannomancy Hut (Keith is accompanying, wOOt.)  Kopper’s visit was mellow, low key and instructional (I am now exposed to David Lynch’s euro version of the pilot for Twin Peaks).  Keith and Kopper got to view each other IRL.  Keith’s visit included a brief workout downstairs – I joined him.  [...]

OMG it’s the catbus

If you get this, you will squee!  If you don’t, I feel sorry for you.

Amusing links for a lazy Sunday

Vinyl sleeve heads. Whump.  Officer Mark Miraglia…. what a guy.  Hot cross buns.  What would life be without parody.  A raw egg gets sliced in half by a katana.  Compositing comment Do you really want an iPhone? That teenager raging with hormones is loaded. 

spending money again

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

I love the week after Christmas. Picked up a nice jacket to replace the third hand John Deere jacket Keith’s been wearing for the best part of ten years at the Bay yesterday… half price. Picked up a laptop snare and have fallen deeply in love with it, as it produces a starting depth and [...]

Is waterboarding torture?

Why not read this guy’s account and figure it out?

Great article about dreams

Salmon Chanted Evening

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Well, that was entirely a slice of life. I mean, how many women in Vancouver had a date last night that included: a threat to be serenaded – on triangle? (He plays well; he even has an album credit!) He plays other percussion instruments

Happy

Friday, December 28th, 2007

I’ve been working on comedy routines.  The current one is “what happens when my inner Buddha meets my inner Hitler”  (hint, Buddha doesn’t always keep his teeth) and the inner Gord.  I am having lots of fun, as Gord just said something entertaining which I need to write down. I’m off to visit the Luddite [...]

Bush runs an attack ad on Jesus

Sundry and various

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Housewives more diligent than students?  Say it ain’t so! Access to Medicare makes you healthier?  o rly? Poor people get nasty parasitic diseases more than rich ones?  This new learning amazes me!  

Cooking

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Here I am cooking lunch for I don’t know how many people.  I don’t know how many because the cafeteria is closed today but there will still be people at work.  I told all my lunch buddies that I’m cooking today, but I bet they all packed lunches because, well, they’re engineering staff and they’re [...]
