It's about time I returned to Coffee Messiah for Saturday morning. Damn, it had been a few months since I'd been there for breakfast.

Considering how much (or, more aptly, how little) I drive, I really hate having to shell out so much money for my insurance.

I think I'm going to get a few visitors here this summer. This is good.

But enough about...

To answer your question, from what I observed, Sid Crosby has the potential to be another Lemieux. He sees the whole ice and absolutely loves to set other people up for the goal. He's totally unselfish until the last 5 mins of the game and then he'll strive to get more points. When I watched him, they were playing the Moncton Hawks. He scored a power play goal, a regular strength goal and a shorthanded goal.

NB is kinda like Maine, with one exception. I find the people in Maine are like mutants. There seems to be a destinct drop in intellect once you cross the border heading south. Plus, no offence, but we're Canadians.

I actually live just outside of Fredericton. The town pop. is 60 000 and I love it. We don't have all the concerts and nightlife of a big city, but it's a beautiful town. St. John stinks...blech..pulp mill. Speaking of St. John, there's a family from there called the Irvings. They own 2/3 of Maine. Maybe that's why it seemed similar to you?

Only one more week until the film festival begins. I think that I have 26 films on the schedule including 4 as part of the SIFF's "Secret Festival" where all attendees are required to sign a waiver promising that nothing about the films will be discussed. Seems silly, no?

Damn, do I ever need a haircut. I know that I should make some sort of...

I will be seeing the Stones in Moncton, New Brunswick. They're playing at the site that was set up for the visit from Pope John Paul.

It will be a one day event with 65 000 people and the cost is $99CAD per ticket or about $80 US.

Luckily I have heaps of friends in Monkeytown, so I'll have a place to stay.

...anyone who would spend $450 to see the Stones needs to be stoned biblical style.

More about avocado: only the Hass variety ever seems to be available in the stores. I keep looking for the legendary Fuertes, but to no avail. I'm obviously the unluckiest person in the world ever. Well, ok, maybe not...

Listening to Georgians (or at least English translations of Georgians) speak about GW in such glowing terms shows how easily well-intentioned people can be misled. It's...

Your advocado is my mango. I use to eat the mangos that fruit bats dropped from the tree on my way to work at the bar when I live in Auz. You can never get an Australian mango over here. They're always from Mexico. It just ain't the same.

...it's a nice day here too. And George Bush isn't getting any smarter.

I can't believe that I lived so many years of my life without avocados. I'm amazed at the joy that can come from a simple green fruit.

Work ought to be rather busy this week, but I'm not stressing about the May 31 deadline *quite* as much as I had in recent times. That doesn't mean that I won't be in high anxiety mode come...

I love avacados too! But no, I don't want you to tidy my place anymore... you'll through out all my useless clutter that makes my flat the dangerously cluttered place it is. wink

Avacados are so good.
I'm surprised when i see a good Simpson's episode now. not that i dislike the new ones...just not as funny.

Considering how much I enjoy tidying my apartment, it's a wonder as to why I don't do it more often.

The crime wave continues: after having a few cars (my own included) broken into a few weeks ago, one of the storage areas for my apartment building was vandalised last night. I had been giving thought to moving, but I didn't want to do it until at least early 2006. Unfortunately, these instances of petty crime might speed up the process.

My new workplace has...

I'll try to update more often for you..... I've been away this week visiting friends so I have been quieter than usual. xxx

Every day, I usually end up hearing at least a few minutes of political discussion on the radio and, every day, "liberals" can't seem to do anything to contradict the absurdity of the religious right/Republican perspective. At what point did the left get just so damned pitiful?

Tod Solondz has a new movie out in a few days. I'd always figured that the director of...

Sorry, I never eat in Toronto. If I do,it's after a show at the Veggi Dog stand... yummm.. The only time I enjoy Veggi Dogs.

The plan was in place: my visiting parents and I were going to head down to Mt. St. Helens for a day trip here on Sunday (they haven't been there since 1994 and will be heading back to Maine on Tuesday). Unfortunately, both my mom and I have been rendered ill over the last 24 hours and, as a result, I'm achy with a complete...

Dude,

You should have seen me at McDonalds today. Some 9 year old kid grabbed my 3 year old by the arm and shoved him into the wall of the play center. I'm so proud of myself because I ran into the room, but I didn't hit the kid and I didn't swear. I just said "keep your hands off my boy"

Being a 200 lb man with 0g ears and tats makes me pretty scary because the mom came running in and both her and the little bastard ran out of McDonalds.

Don't mess with my kids.

that sucks.
every time i go to watercourse, i think the food is better.
and the cakes, wow, they amount of vegan dessert items is amazing.

Damn, some a-hole(s) smashed through my driver side vent window last night (as well as those of others in the area). I don't think he/she./they actually stole anything of value from me, but it's the principle, you know?

that sucks. i remember that happening to a girl i was dating (twice, no, we didn't date twice, they broke into her car twice). it wasn't my car and it still left that sick feeling. too bad, stole a very nice radio both times.

I live in a small city. 60 000. We've just started to have a problem with wacked out crack heads breaking into cars and shit, stealing to feed their habit. They need a good solid beating.

shit luck brother. we'll catch 'em someday.

The weekend's been good, to be sure, but it certainly did seem to go by quickly. Nevertheless, dinner at Habibi's in Vancouver on Saturday would have made it special all by itself. I don't think I'd been to a vegetarian Lebanese place before...

i thought my parents would hate ethiopian for the
simple fact you don't use a fork or a spoon for
the food-and that it's eaten on a weird little
table and horrible chairs. but they loved the
food and i'm sure when they come to visit they'll
eat it again. of course they don't get the veggie
stuff, but still, at least it's something different.

yeah, you can have that cat if you want. she screams
in the morning to be let in my room. she doens't
like closed doors.
