All of my friends wanted to see Serenity but at different times and places. so I had seen it three times by Saturday night and the charm was beginning to wear off. But it was still quite good. A decently put together action movie with several funny bits. Later on Saturday I saw the Mediaeval Baebes, who do perform traditional latin, early french and middle...

I should start a group for people who work full time in sub-managerial positions for large companies in large office buildings, and call it 'death by cubicle'.

OK I figured out what is more pathetic than organizing a charity Scrabble tournament at work. That thing is memorizing 200 extra words to give you a fighting chance to stay in said tournament. (I scored 300 in my first game which was good enough to get me to Round II and in 5th place of 28 people. But the frontrunner scored a whopping 572...

All the Suicidegirls left because they fell in love with me, realized they could not have me, and realized it was too painful to continue in the same virtual space. That is all. No other reason.

The problem with the Toronto International Film Festival is that when you want to see that new Tim Burton movie the theatres are full of small time art-flicks.

U2 are playing four shows this week in Toronto. And on the day of the first one I decided that I would like to see them sometime and that there was no time like the present. Normally I have very good luck waiting around the venue until the opening band is playing or finished, and picking up decently priced tickets from scalpers getting desperate to...

It's probably a sign of how old and pathetic I am that I am excited that I get to organize a charity Scrabble tournament at work. I'm also really excited that the new Scrabble 4th edition dictionary containts the words ZA and QI

Which is all pretty when you think about it.

my ipod was on shuffle and it played "do the manta ray" by the Pixies, then 'sea ghost' by the Unicorns. That's two songs in a row about mythological creatures, sung by bands named after mythological creatures, in a row.

The world is probably going to come to an end or sumthin.

I was walking down the street, and I saw flyers posted to telephone poles and streetlamps looking for, of all things, egg donors. I'm gonna take a picture when it's light out tomorrow.

Richard Simmons on Larry King Live last night, on the damage in New Orleans from the broken levee: "New Orleans is so culturally important. It's like the Venice, Italy of...of the world,...

i think if a city is going to be completely wiped out by a hurricane, it should be completely destroyed and submerged until the only signs are ripples on the otherwise calm lake. I mean, it's wrecked anyway, so it would be cool to see it completely destroyed.

I saw Tori Amos last night at the Molson Amphitheatre. She was excellent, but probably disappointed a lot of casual fans by leaving out crucify, God, and Cornflake girl. On the other hand, she was obviously aware that she was playing in Canada, because she covered if you could read my mind and both sides now. The venue was less than half full, although...
