last Jericho of the 15th season

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

The season closer, which I attended with Paul, Paul’s boon companion Mike J, Keith and Mike, was a barnburnin’, kickass, upsidethehead HOWL of an evening.  Three professional musicians on tour (two of them being the Undesirables, a very amazing Canadian duo who TRANSFIXED the audience and the other being David Ross MacDonald, an Aussie who [...]

I have no taste. I know what I like.

I consider this to be the most amazing sculpture I’ve seen in 26 years. I wrote a paragraph of really really stupid commentary about the sculpture and I smartened up and deleted it.  The work needs no help from me.

Going to Ontario… but WHEN?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I know that I’m heading for Ontario and I definitely have to be there for Thanksgiving weekend.  However, I am stuck in town until Thursday at the earliest as I have to be a model for Katie for the practical part of her job interview.  So, woo hoo, I’m getting a hair cut and a [...]

Perez Hilton is a spelling Nazi.  Who the hell knew??? Perez going off on other people’s spelling…. I have to go drink more coffee, I can’t cope.

I made spag for the folks last night, and my food karma came back; Mike had me and Jeff over for a taco dinner.

MRSA gets from humans to pets, which are then reservoirs for the disease.

The time capsule the aliens found.

Bruce Sterling passed this one along via twitter

His comment was the very apt:  AIEEEEE! The site is pretty self-explanatory.  It’s real time world statistics.

Not much to report….

Paul had a lovely time in Ontario and picked up, oddly, placemats for us.  We now have matching placemats for as many people as we would ever feed, which is really cool in a 1950′s kinda way.  Going retro… Jeff went to a Vancouver Giants hockey game last night. When he got here Keith and [...]

Look … it’s a wikipedia article. About a kind of jellyfish.  And you better put a helmet on, so you don’t make a mess when your mind gets blown.

Spoke to Vampire Family matriarch Jan this morning, also ex-mom-in-common-law Phyllis, also Paul Mills to get the lyrics for “Willie was a loner”, left a message for Chipper, texted Colin, spoke to Keith about him starting to pay for his phone, and otherwise started getting in the swing of things for the trip east. happy [...]

Freshly written down

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

But more than ten years old.  Now, in all it’s disgusterpating glory, is one of the songs I am very very proudest of.  Company dump.  I wrote this for a coworker named Jamie with whom I worked at SR Telecom in Montréal. Company Dump midi.  Sprightly, ain’t it? Company Dump pdf of sheet music.  Mit [...]

Ah, the wonders of the internet.  Another true life adventure for you. In case you’re the nervous type, he gets dug out around 6:00.  So it’s all good, and Darwin’s winnowing fan took a break that day.

Ethical issues

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Man uses snake to ward off seizures. 1.  Does this man have the right to use a service animal that will scare the shit out of a substantial fraction of the travelling public?  Somebody coming on him unawares might have a panic attack and collapse.  I was unable to find stats on ophidiophobia, but I [...]
