Busy week here in D-Land.
As longtime readers at this space will know, on Mondays I do volunteers stuff reading books to the blind (the blind aren't actually there, we just digitally record the stuff, but I have a longstanding tradition of calling it that). We have to read all sorts of materials, from novels to magazines to textbooks, but last Mondays was the weirdest...

Weezer's "Beverly Hills" is totally the song of right now.

I just got back from spending a few days with some old friends of mine. They have a kid now and two foster children, so it was quite busy with the six of us. The little five year old girl foster child developed a little girl crush on me and kept drawing me pictures and having me read her stories. She was very nice and...

Hahahaha. I see it now. Those little arches in the stone look like teeth, too.
I think it's the angle of the picture. I've never seen a face on it before. Awesome.

Did you just change a whole schwack of things on your profile?
I was away from SG for a bit because of password failure. But now I am back. Not much has changed.
A friend of mine got a job working at the Koolhaus as a sound guy. His first job was supposed to be working with Nine Inch Nails tonight, but they told him he wouldn't be starting tonight. Hopefully for their show tomorrow, though.

I was so tired when I wrote that journal entry, I had no idea what I was writing. Glad it made sense to someone.

Nice whale on paintedbat's journal, by the way. i tried to paint once. It didn't go well. 
Over the weekend, it rained a lot, and I learned that the height that I carry my umbrella at is what is 'face level' to most people.
Know what would be cool? A spider umbrella. Each little stick of the umbrella could be done up into a leg, and a giant spider thingy at the top. the rest of the umbrella could be done up...

Bah! I let my health card and drivers license expire. Soon I won't be able to prove that I'm me at all!
Since I joined this site, my use of the term 'dude', in RL, has increased by like 1000%.

I think you're right about the Breakfast Club. I try to convince myself I'm a different person to who I was in high-school daily, but it doesn't work. Although, I do think these days I am less 'brain' and maybe a little more 'basketcase'.... maybe with a touch of 'princess' in there too.
Anyway please don't feel you have to apologise for posting in my journal at random. It's the random posts I love the most

So I wussed out of auditioning for Lord of the Rings. I took the day off work and everything, but the picture I wanted to use as my submission with my resume wouldn't print, and I started thinking 'you have no chance', 'you have no real acting experience or training', 'you can't sing and they might make you', and 'you have none of the acrobatic...

hey, nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome!
not being canadian, i'm sometimes reluctant to mouth off to conservative assholes like polarpat. i really appreciate you guys letting me butt in now and then... i'm a sociologist and i've been studying comparative US/Canadian politics for a few years now. It's absolutely fascinating and makes me want to emigrate terribly.

Important issues of theology are discussed in dholokhov's workplace!
On the weekend CNN had a rabbi talking about the Pope's death, and he said that he felt that John Paul II was one of the 36 good people. Now I am no expert in judaic lore, but I thought that it was supposed to be wrong to speculate on the identity of the 36. I...

I'm still impressed that you did a handstand on the balcony, regardless of whether your fingers were curled around the edge or not. Hell, I've bought people drinks for less.

Well, you had me at "dholokhov's workplace".
So I suppose we're even.

There will be a musical version of the Lord of the Rings debuting in Toronto in 2006. There are open casting calls, so I must take advantage of my small size (I am about five foot one) to audition for the role of a hobbit! While I cannot sing, apparently they also need acrobats, and I can do a bit of tumbling and walk on...

I haven't been around much, but work made me take the remainder of my 2004 vacation so I've got this week and some of next with nothing to do. Sadly, I am sick sick sick. The constant tiredness could be caffeine withdrawal, but I have, at various times, fever, sneezing, and a cough so bad that I have actually been hacking up bile - yeeeech!...
