so good

So new web comic that I'm quite enjoying. I cant get the images any smaller so just click on them for the whole thing. The website is http://xkcd.com/. Getting lost in the wikipedia forest is something we talk about often.








not to mention kidnapping wayne coyne from his giant ball

Neutral Milk Hotel, oh how I adore you

As everyone knows I am completely obsessed with everything Neutral Milk Hotel or Jeff Mangum related, other than Olivia Tremor Control cause I just can't get in to that. Anyway. The blog is changed to honor the wonderful Mr Mangum and!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have found the youtube video of Jeff Mangum playing the only known song ever heard after In The Aeroplane Over the Sea. It is called Little Birds and it is amazing. It is also very sick and twisted the way Jeff Mangum can only be. For a brief explanation the song is about a boy who is filled with little birds, he thinks this is wonderful and tells everyone, his father hates him for this and kills him with a hammer. Enjoy. :)

Disappointment

I'm so horribly disappointed about yesterday. Not only did Stephen Harper win, he was only 11 seats away from a majority government. The Liberals lost over 20 seats. AND, it is the worst turn out for voters in the HISTORY of being able to vote in Canada. Only 59.1% of people voted. 56.8% in Manitoba.(http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/story/2008/10/15/voter-turnout.html) Absolutely pathetic. People would sacrifice their lives just to be able to participate in some form of Democracy. I hate everything right now. Everything.

It's in our hands

The past two days have been the bad sort, the kind that make you think nothing else could possibly go wrong and yet something inevitably does. I'm hoping it will end soon. Part of my lovely "nothing could possibly go worse" experience, I discovered I may be allergic to avocados. I'm not sure yet, the idea of it is horrifying though. No more guacamole! No more avocado rolls! No more garden o plenty sandwiches from the Fyxx! I love avocados so much, their beautiful taste and color and texture! They're so good and healthy and full of protein! My world will surely end if it is true. It better not be.

I was in a small creative slump for a few days, but I feel the painting bug creeping up on me, hopefully tonight something can be unleashed upon canvas.

All I can think of is October 21, the date fate circles back from Montreal to Winnipeg. I'm ecstatic.

It's in our hands, it always was.

Wait for the end for an insane Bjork style electric harp-mad beats-orchestra break down.

are you kidding me?

So someone else died from a taser. Again. In Surrey, BC. How many times does this have to happen before it stops? Also, before they hit him with the taser, he had fallen from two stories, through a glass window, and was naked. I'm not sure how "armed and dangerous" he could've been that they needed to taser him. Read about it here http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/story.html?id=928cfe75-fc6b-4d2b-9520-85692bf9998e

Seriously. I can't wait for the elections. Hopefully the conservatives will be gone and something can be done about this.
