My buddy Emil (a.k.a. Emo) has updated his site. Check it out. He also did a new tune, The Edge of the Desert. Experimental stuff but I like it.

Today I’m listening to A Flock of Seagulls’ Greatest Hits. Carol and I went to see A Flock of Seagulls and Platinum Blonde at the Commodore last spring. I took some pictures. The one below is of Michael Score (formerly the guy with the hair. Now covering up male pattern baldness with a Russian style hat).

All the guy did was whine about the cold, his health and that people wanted only to hear his old stuff. Sorry buddy, the new stuff that you subjected us to before you played the old standards blew goats.

We had a pretty good time though. Platinum Blonde was awesome. I’m sad to say that was my 4th time seeing them.

Baby Osama must have another name. Why on Earth did they name him that in the first place? DUH! DUH! DUH!

It’s Penis Day!

I’ve been reading The Two Towers. It’s the second installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I read the series when I was a lot younger and barely remember anything from it. I thought it would be a good idea to polish up on what happens to those Hobbits and that darned Ring before the movie comes out at Christmas time.

My bet is more Oscar nods for Peter Jackson and his crew. Jackson wrote and directed one of my favourite zombie movies, Dead Alive. I’ve been a fan for a long time. It’s great to see someone like him come from relative obscurity to one of the most respected directors in Hollywood. Way to go Peter! I’d love to work with him one day.

The Globe and Mail: Breaking News. Very Heaven’s Gate-esque if you ask me. At least they sent a postcard.

A buddy gave me this Fart Bag:

Here’s the of it.

I’m not sure why this is funny, but it is. What in the hell is in this thing. Do I dare set it off? Perhaps it’s anthrax from Taiwan.

Look what a Canadian Senate committee recommends.

I want to read this book.
