  1. Well...in that case I wouldn't buy any of those and instead grow bag-seed.

    Are you just throwing these outside or are you setting up an indoor project with the intent of grow-your-own?

    This stuff grows itself, they call it a weed for a reason, it will grow in poor conditions. Unless you drown the plant or don't water it at all then it will grow. However the final product will represent how the plant was treated.

  2. I saw this band at a house show in Guelph on Thursday night and it was one of those rare occurrences where I was absolutely floored by the amazing musical fusion and musicianship. Perma-smile for sure, but I think I laughed out loud a number of times from the crazy shit they were pulling off. I dont think i've ever seen anything like it!

  3. One of "those guys" is stting in my living room playing poker right now. He was telling me earlier that we went to Lee's palace and then to sneaky dees for some lame show last night, and he's got a toque with pompom (he's pretty sure he was the only one with a oversized toque in the room). He's actually a cool guy with a very respectable mustache, i couldn't grow one like his if i tried.

    I just called him up to read the post and he says that you should fuck off.

    This is too funny.

  4. The "don't miss" portions of the article led me to search for the original document, which included a link to this. What an awesome rush of memories! As a kid I used to think the swirling orange liquid was KD sauce. Mmmmmmmm.

    National Film Board Of Canada Launches New Movie Site, 700 Free Films For Streaming, Linking, And Embedding

    by Kris Abel on Wed 21 Jan 2009 02:49 PM EST

    You can now embed "The Cat Came Back" into your blog or social profile. Today the National Film Board of Canada launched a new online streaming video service worthy of an ovation. 700 titles from their incredible collection of Canadian films are now available, online, for free at NFB.ca. For the first time you can now share your favorite NFB shorts quickly across the internet, using both links and embed codes across blogs and social networking profiles. "Blackfly", "The Log Driver's Waltz", "Neighbours" they're all there in a format that matches YouTube or Vimeo, in fact better because the NFB includes companion clips that feature artistic commentaries, biographies, and curator's comments. Clearly, the NFB understands that the power of such technology is to get work of this nature seen and they have mastered the way to do so. Yes, the films are still for purchase, in fact icons are included within the online player software for you to order them on DVD, and soon there will be the option to also purchase the films through download, but the most important goal for an organization who supports the production of bold, original, Canadian (and so unknown) films is to introduce them to general audiences. People who know and love films will buy them, but unless you're distributing "Spider-Man 4" it's hard to achieve that first step.

    The NFB's Online Screening Room will change that. In addition to this first wave of 700 films, representing work from all regions of Canada and going back to 1928, there will 100 more titles added in the near future plus an additional ten each new month going forward. The site also includes trailers for upcoming NFB releases and cross-references all works based on keyword links and user recommendations.

  6. Great people and great music.

    Tangles up in blue and shakedown street were a real huzzah. That was my first faties and burt show in at least a year.

    On a totally unrelated note, I happened to stash my coat behind the small bar upstairs by the side pool table. Who did I wrong so badly that by the end of the night i came up to find my coat and gloves inside the sink, completely soaked through. Really fun walking home holding a soping wet coat and gloves (plus the coat froze by the time I got home - just to give you an idea). Greasy move!
