more like a long day i was only in on the first shift. the next part of the movie is a 4 hour trip to ottawa, a furious unloading followed by the return trip for the truck, then followed by the come together festival!

(or at least that's the current plan.)

i dunno...they had me intrigued until they claimed that big business, government and the zionists are running the weather. the bad waether affects the oil companies too, every storm that wails on the gulf of mexico trashes a whole buch of oil rigs...the same guys were saying the undersea nukes caused the tsunami in asia...

i'll adnit the people in charge are evil, but not the sort of fiendishly clever super villan evil required for something as dramatic as creating hurricanes.

having said that, hurricanes boost cnn's ratings

hey mike, deb took packing pics but it will be a while before they have camera & computer & internet connection all at once. as of 4 this afternoon, the scullies are on their way to ottawa!

cheers to nathan from wiser, trevor silverheart and snail's amanda for pitching in to help dave & deb...take good care of them, o-folk!

that's freaking brilliant. mental note....never try and upstage the white stripes.

wow! good luck and have a fabulous time.

it's very instructive being the visible minority for a while. everyone should do it once in their lives...

safe travels!

all right! heavy drinking and packing...together at last!

yay kaidy mae! i hope you had a blast over the weekend...happy birthday!

have great birthday!

cheers!

annoying. thank jeebus for the mute button

yes, us canadians are all about licking the canoe...

so how many licks to get to the centre of a canoe?

every now and again CPAC has something totally amazing on. most times though, it's the TV equivalent of steamed vegetables. you know that it's good for you, but holy boring...

it sort of amazes me that in an age of infotainment that they can't make CPAC marginally more entertaining...they have lots of really bright and inspiring people on there (in the last year, Bruce Cockburn, Maude Barlow, David Suzuki, and many others) but still manage to present these folks in a stupifyingly boring way. same thing with our local cable channel. they show our local council meetings, and have managed to do si in the most lo-fi, boring way possible...it's almost like they don't want people to watch and learn about what's really happening.

Mr and Mrs Calamity Evil Mouse will be packing their earthly belongings into a truck in preparation for their migration to the Ottawa area, which i understand leaves team SoOn with Del and one future draft pick

beginnig at around 8am (eeeh.) there will be very strong coffee and heavy lifting opportunities avaliable, with suitable refreshment served throughout the day. come say goodbye to the nicest couple of freaks to grace the west end of toronto!

917 Ossington is the address, if you're game then PM dr~evil~mouse or calamity jane for details.

i think i prefer the Dilbert Principle.

The Dilbert Principle refers to a 1990s satirical theory stating that companies should promote their worst employees to managerial positions so as to prevent them from directly affecting the consumer's experience.

sharon, in your situation, this means that you are in fact much too nice of a person and far too good at what you do to be promoted to the snake-pit of incompetent management

I also have a special place in my ears for 2005-02-28 (the acoustic show).

got it on right now...was hooked from the first few seconds

cheers!

"The ball is in the U.S. court, after this criminal statement by a citizen of that country," Rangel told reporters. "It's huge hypocrisy to maintain this discourse against terrorism and at the same time, in the heart of that country, there are entirely terrorist statements like those."

"The Cross and Bones, which kicked off the Canadian Spectrum showcase at Hot Docs this weekend, is a wry, non-judgmental film about belief — in God, in science, in the right to party."

here's hoping that it'll make it into cbc or tvo's documentary rotation soon...

i will not eat poo in a shoe.

not even with gerard depardu.

i like your avatar.

it reflects well on you.

Seriously.

BradM, Weirdness, Blane, Esau, Tungsten, DaveO and HeadyGouda (and the others I am completely forgetting) thank you all for your hard work. It is far more appreciated than you probably know. These days, it almost seems so expected even though it aint at all.

because of taper folk, the archive is full of good music accessible at the click of a button. contrast this to the dark days of analog where tapes were a magical mysterious thing, and you were thrilled to have the hissy bassy 5th generation dub of the show you saw

yay dr and mrs calamity evil mouse! thank you for a very good evening...and so nice to see lots of kind folks again, and to meet new ones too...

I'm just working with the assumption that those of you who said you wouldn't be coming to the CTMF were just making that up.

what he said.

see lots of you in a week!

all right! 30 is a great birthday...finally considered an adult by your family but still young enough to carry on and party all night

happy birthday!

ducks aren't for fucking.

but your reply has me chuckling.

check this out! truly bizarre yet compelling...

No, slap him with a live beaver, repeatedly, until the beaver is dead. Yes, it's cruel to the beaver, and probably not environmentally friendly, but if you chose a beaver that was near death anyway, this could be minimized.

Aloha,

Brad

besides which, unchecked beaver populations are a scourge on the environment...so long as you brought the beaver from somewhere where it was truly doing harm, you would be doing the environment a favor as well as the planet generally.

Keep your head high....you have to keep telling yourself it's just material items in your life and thank god your family is safe!

so sorry!

couldn't have said it better myself....that's just rotten. as a bright light of hope in a dark time, it may turn up...
