Spoooo.......ky

Happy Halloween y’all.

As one who scares very (very) easily, I will be quite nervous tonight. Dublin has sounded like a war zone for the past month or so anyway, with bangers and fireworks going off (premature pranksters just can’t wait), but tonight I’ll be extra prepared. I’ll have my metal helmet (a.k.a. colander) atop my noggin, and some sort of sharp stick to prod any little punk kids with, in case they try to mess with me…

Mmm...more snooze...

Ah, the bank holiday weekend! So many possibilities! So what am I going to do?! Sleep!

And! We get an extra hour’s sleep! Thank you, clocks going backwards!

Sib 2 found out yesterday that he’s getting laid off, just a few weeks before he is away on holiday. Timing, eh? Apparently the crowd he works for are about to go belly-up, so he probably won’t get holiday pay, or the expenses he’s owed, or anything like that. Mofos. He’s better off in the long run, they were quite the cowboy outfit, but it’s shite that he only has one week’s notice. So if anyone out there is looking for an ace electrician, he’s yer man. He has a van too. So if you don’t want an electrician but are thinking of maybe forming a crime fighting team that needs a van, he might also be your man.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Manny?

A friend for the birthday bear. This is Manny. He likes to say the things that are bugging me but I could never vocalise myself for fear of offending someone. He’s good like that. And if people get pissed off, I can say, "hey guy, talk to the gorilla! I’m not saying anything here!"



More pathetic fallacy – it won’t stop raining. Where’s the snow? I want to see some snow!

Or just one snowflake, even…

I am fifty million years old

Turned 29 yesterday.

And that’s all we’ll say about that!

But look at this little fella! He was a gift! Now I have something constructive to do with my hands! :P

I'm back, eh

Back from the trip to Canadia! This time not only got to see more of the T dot O dot, but also managed a brief visit to Ottawa (“it’s the nation’s capital, eh”) and Montréal. Québec unnerved me a little bit. It looks like Canada, but…they’re speaking French. It was just a bit weird, is all. But it’s a nice spot.

Got to see the cuz, his lady, Amandolin, her pals, all the gang at the Mothership, The Blue Jays, and Dave Cam! Got plenty o’ culture, including a visit to the McMichael gallery, the modern art museum in Montréal (including very cool music videos installation) and on my last day, a Warhol exhibit in the Art Gallery of Ontario. Was glad that a certain someone kicked my ass in gear (via email!) to go see that… ;)

Still sleepy… I think nature is telling me to listen to my bear tendancies and hibernate…
