The only thing sadder than a well-liked and kindhearted co-worker leaving the fold is when people ask for their email address so they can keep in touch.

I mean of course, "sad" in the "can't you people just say goodbye and leave it at that instead of making insincere offers of friendship?" sense.

Re: yesterday

I hadn't stopped to think about it, but Toronto has an unfair proportion of indie rock talent in it.

And if Modest Mouse isn't careful they'll turn into a jam-band. 2 drummers is the first sign of impending doom.

I know we've had our differences on them in the past, so I figured I'd let you know that I am seriously digging on that new White Stripes song.

Granted, I don't really think it sounds anything like the White Stripes... it comes off to me as more of a mash-up between Prince and Death From Above 1979.

But still.

It rocks me like a hurricane.

Watching the extra features on Disc 2 of "Strangers on a Train".

My favourite bit is where in the span of just a few minutes M. Night Shamalamadingdong shows with painful clarity why his movies suck.

He is an idiot.

Also among my shortcomings is the fact that I find grudges delicious like candy.

As part of my faux new year's resolution, I'm going to start writing again. I'm perfectly content for it to be derivative and bad... but you know, I'm willing to bet that if we harnessed the power of the Elite Brain Squadron (TM) that we could totally polish more than a few ideas to publishable quality.

Not my stuff, I grant. But imagine any of us with literary aspirations throwing a manuscript to that particular thinktank and saying "what needs improvin'?"

Can you imagine the polish that particular machine could give to a diamond in the rough?

I think out loud a lot.

Othello was great. Not only were the performances supple and nuanced, but Ginny's one-woman design effort (costumes/lighting/set) was a triumph. It's hard for me to say all the stress she went through was worth it--like how Jesus learned a lot from crucifixion--but man, she's good. Colour me proud. The price may have been unfair for her, but for quality product who's complaining? She's...

If I were an ibis, I'd be so glad every day to wake up and find myself resembling an ibis. It'd feel good to hear people say, "look, an ibis," and know that they meant me.

Underwent that most peculiar of corporate experiences yesterday: the performance review.

Especially peculiar in my case was that it was called my Annual Review, though it didn't include anything I did in the position I held for 10 of the last 12 months.

Nonetheless, all is well, most everything is fine. What's not fine is superfine. There were two categories where I received extra-high marks...

Baby, I'm coming in Friday night. We need plans of the awesome and not humping in the rosey red butt hold of blood face nature.

Something like the Bat-signal would be so much more useful to me at work than my phone. If you want to chit-chat--email. If you're in distress--shine a light heavenward!

Hey you, thanks for commenting on my set...or whatever...

At first, I was going to ask if you meant constant frequency or frequency modulation bats, then I realized what you were talking about...

I've decided something.

From now on, you shall be.

Taking stock of my TO Prom ensemble, I realize I still need to get my pants altered, I don't have a suitable tie, nor do I have a jacket.

Fuck, I don't even have socks that work.

What I've got so far are shoes and a shirt. At least I can get served at Burger King.

In spite of my sartorial disarray, I'm already assured...

No worries. I seriously don't think I could afford going anyway. I'll just enjoy it vicariously through photo journals.
