  When I ordered that Don Hertzfeldt DVD, I signed up for something of a package of things; an art print and a chunk of 35mm film. I can mount and frame the picture, but a chunk of film requires some special handling. I need to build a backlight of some sort, but what type…. Now, [...]

  Whatever Happened to Yarislav The Bunny?

  Leave a comment there before you start drinking to forget your shame, or if you really really enjoyed it, maybe you can help noted automatonophobe Scott Bateman out by buying a DVD. You’ll help an artist to buy a Craftmatic Adjustable Bed for his weary bones; crafting all that funny is seriously taxing.

  Ozzy in Halifax; maybe he is still crazy

  I’ve checked in on the Ozzy web page and sure enough, they will be playing in Halifax on January 26. Tickets go on sale on Saturday to the general public, but the Ozzy fans get first crack. I thought, “Hey, I’ll just sign up for that and get the pre-sale code for Ticketmaster (TicketsAtlantic, whatever)” [...]

  Halifax After a Year

  11.28.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  It’s been just over a year now that I’ve been in Halifax. There are so many things that I’m surprised by that I’m sure I must have mentioned by now; the victim attitude, the inflated sense o self importance, an amazing resistance to change, the obsession with Tim Hortons coffee-flavoured beverage, and the surprising closed-mindedness [...]

  It’s better to fail for something you did than to succeed for something someone else did. How do you prepare your child for self-sufficiency when you’re doing all the work? If you really wanted to do this on your own, you would. Are both of these cards from the same person? What’s wrong with her [...]

  Cleaning Day

  I logged into that Bloglines account that I’ve become afraid of; it passed the point where I could even mark everything read in a single 24 hour day, and I’ve been pretending that it didn’t exist; like you might do with that large, man-eating plant that you discover one morning out in the back garden.

  If there was no option to keep the dog, and there was no option to give it to a good home, you could at least have considered a quiet euthenasia. It’s a better option than leaving a dog in the wilderness; that a starving dog, chasing some rodent for a meal would run in front [...]

  We watched the Intelligent Design on Trial documentary, streamed from Nova’s web site yesterday. There’s one old kook that makes Michael Behe seem sane and logical in comparison, especially considering that the man has no science background; the man’s a professor of law. Phillip Johnson is known as the father of intelligent design. The idea [...]
