I’m sick!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

I don’t know what it is, and I refuse to say it’s the flu, but this thing crushed me yesterday.
I woke up, then… well, I’ll spare you those details, didn’t feel like going to work, had a shower any way, still didn’t feel like going to work, got dressed for work and caught my [...]

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I know at least a few people reading this are Ryan Adams fans, so as I’ve been catching up on my RAatC news tonight, let me link a few things for those other fans who might have missed them previously:

The artist, Daymon Greulich, who did all the excellent city-specific tour posters for the 2007 dates [...]

Mr. Young

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Somewhere out in the city of Toronto, my friend is headed home from the first of his two Neil Young concert dates this week at Massey Hall. No, Neil isn’t playing two nights — actually, he’s playing three nights I believe — I mean my friend is attending not one, but two of these legendary [...]

Santa Claus Parade

exactly how many dance troupes and martial [...]

Long day

There have been more than a few of these extra-long drives [...]

With Christmas arriving in just over a [...]

Today was Nice

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Today, I had a nice time out in Toronto.
It’s been awhile since I really took a day to wander about the city, visit the shops and just hang with friends. One of my oldest friends is leaving the country, again, this Thursday for two (to three) years overseas; this was a nice chance to just [...]
