3 years later
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since Katrina and the levee failure disaster in New Orleans. I’ve never been to New Orleans, but I’ve got a bunch of friends there. At the time, I was freaking out about writing the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) for my grad school applications. I remember driving back from [...]
Another to-do list
So… today… I dunno. Some personal business distracted the hell out of me for most of the day. As a result, I got nothing done, the place is a sty, I’ve been in a shitty mood, and I ordered pizza for dinner. It’s ok… I’ll give it another shot tomorrow. I did, however, write out [...]

Things I like Thursday
I like pictures of squirrels doing funny and/or cute things (I’m easy to please this Thursday) All photos from Cute Overload.com ! But I also came across this… Sugar Bush Squirrel – The Superstar Squirrel “Being an International Superstar and The World’s Most Photographed Squirrel, Sugar Bush loves to dress up, and has over 2,000 [...]

Carnivàle Lune Bleue
Seems like I took a break there… didn’t mean to. Just lots of back-to-school business to take care of at this time of year. I think it’s mostly finished, for now. On Friday, my friend M & I went to Carnivàle Lune Bleue out in Kars. Had no idea what to expect, other than what [...]

A mixed bag…
I’m glad the Olympics are finally over. So tired of that crap. Still, congrats to all those athletes who were able to tough-out China’s air quality. Anyhow, I went to Carnivale Lune Bleue on Friday night, and it was pretty cool. I’ll be making a post about it in the near future, as soon as [...]

Finito
I got some socks done a few days ago, but they had been lost in the flurry of concert blogging. I’m done concert blogging for a while, as I’ve got nothing much in the works for the foreseeable future. I’d like to go see Oasis, but can’t really afford it and don’t trust OCTranspo to [...]

Rufus Wainwright at the Ottawa Folk Festival
SO – I’ve been incredibly spoiled this past weekend as far as seeing my favourite bands are concerned. First Radiohead, then Rufus. Rufus was very good as well. This was my 3rd time seeing him, the first being when he opened for Tori Amos at Massey Hall in Toronto (amazing!) and the second at Convocation [...]
Radiohead
I’m back from the Radiohead gig. Survived the journey, somehow. I think I’ve filled my quota as far as time with the folks at Greyhound is concerned. Saturday was a bit rough, but I’m better now. So what was it like? Fantastic. The day started in Peterborough, where the brother, his girlfriend Yaz, and I [...]
Entertainment
I’ve got plans people, plans! I’m heading to Peterborough later today, but only for the evening. I’ll be crashing at the Brother’s house before we all blast off to Toronto on Friday for the RADIOHEAD concert! I’m incredibly excited about this. I haven’t seen Radiohead in well over 5 years. We’re meeting my good friend [...]
