So I'm about to go to war with my bank. Seriously, if anyone wants to bring pitchforks to downtown Saskatoon tomorrow, and if there's enough people, we can hit your banks too and knock the fuckers' teeth out.

I have a student line of credit from years ago (basically a loan), which I've made monthly automatic payments on. That was fine. But I'm going back...

Part I: My New Spirit Animal

This time of year, there are pelicans living around the area I was at camping this past week. They're social birds, and tend to be in flocks. There was a flock of nine that I saw on one of my first days at the lake, and a couple other groups of six, but every day there was a solitary...

I write poems about flowers - some of them are pretty dorky - and I'm okay with that. This one's almost in iambic octameter, but not quite. It has 8 syllables per line, but the meter is a bit off in the third verse. I care more about saying what I want to say and getting that across anyway.

First blog in two months. Good. I only speak when I have something real to say.

I've been following Dr Samantha Nutt's twitter. She's the founder of War Child Canada and her work is amazing. I respect her. She toughed it out in Darfur and is far braver than I am.

I've been listening to a lot of Dresden Dolls lately too. Amanda Fucking Palmer...

I went and saw the Watchmen last night. Then on the walk home I saw, taped to a light post, this note:

Julie,
Your father called and loves you.
Says he'll call again.

That depressed me a lot. Brought out my masochistic side a little too. I got very drunk with some friends. Too drunk to stand. Ended up with an almost-broken nose and bloodstained...

Want to know who was the greatest whore of the 20th Century?

Mrs. Pacman. For 25 cents, she'd eat balls until it killed her.

Now that I've got that out of the way, I can tell you what I've been doing at 3AM. Thinking about numbers. It started with a birthday counter that led to my status: I was too lazy to do the...

I had a dream last week about love, sex, opera and time travel. It was pretty awesome, even if it ended on a nightmarish note. I've been jotting down notes ever since: the dream will serve as a prologue to a story I've decided to write (I won't call it a novel, at least not yet.) It'll be a fun project, either way.

I also...

Nine Inch Nails. Sigh. I saw them back in December, and I want to see them again and again and again. Reznor rules.

I've finally got the account reactivated, after fighting with the rejoin page for close to two months. It eventually got resolved, obviously, but not before I had given up and created (paid for) an entirely new account. Oh well, the mods were good about it and refunded me that account. It's good to catch up with my favs and groups again.

If anyone's chilling anywhere...
