It’s Friday, so here’s the video for “Ocean Pearl” by 54-40
Why? Because it’s a mighty fine song, plain and simple. I heard it for the first time in years at a pub this week, and I’ve had it in my head ever since. I know I’ve already recently posted a video or two by Canadian bands who were big in the nineties, but what can […]

Rahim Jaffer probably shouldn’t hire me to represent him in legal matters
I don’t understand why Rahim Jaffer hasn’t chosen to respond to the allegations against him by testifying that it was all just some other guy pretending to be him. I mean, I know that sounds ridiculous and laughable, but let’s not forget that there’s a precedent for it.

It’s not Friday, but here’s the video for “By the Time I Get to Arizona” by Public Enemy”
Just promise me you won’t watch it until after you’ve taken the time to look up Arizona Senate Bill 1070. After that, go ahead and look up Arizona’s history on race relations. And then, if you want, come back here and we can all have a yell in the comments section about the sheer ridiculousness […]

Oh, God, the awkwardness!
Did the waiter intentionally short change me when he brought the bill? Did he take it upon himself to deduct his own tip from my change? Was he really that presumptuous? Or on the other hand, could it possibly have been a situation in which he grabbed a quarter, thinking it was a toonie, and […]

Tomorrow is moving day
I haven’t been posting much lately, and that’s because it’s been a very busy couple of weeks. Tomorrow’s going to be the peak of it, because it’ll be the day when we load up the truck and take the bulk of our stuff over to the new place. We did some painting and cleaning today, […]

Tomorrow, while I’m wrapping up the conference, Kate will pick […]
