  • Quick Update

    Weekend is going well. I feel like I have nailed down a few things, mostly parts of projects which have been rattling around in my brain for a little bit. Also happened to run into the Rat Patrol as they were making they’re way around the city and ended up riding with them for a…

  • Saturday Finally

    For the past couple of days I have been fighting a cold/infection in my ear or throat, while work has encroached on taking up more of my time. Plus my wellspring of internet dried up for most of the week. Good thing is that I have managed some bike riding and pub time through the…

  • Some News

    Madam Guilliotine with her tall frame, sharp teeth and keen eyes has decided to grace us with her presence. Not that anyone has received the “chop” yet, but soon enough. And this time it will be me looking for a new means to eke out a living. Let me explain why. There are people higher…

  • Flight Out

    I may as well get writing while the whiskey begins to kick in. This afternoon, I stuck Jeremy on a plane back to his home up north. Its been an interesting and fun week while he was around to help out with the move. I took the time out to show him around the quiet…

  • Moving

    I’m in the middle of moving all of my stuff to a new place. Which has been a mixed affair of running around, signing leases, finding boxes and wondering how I managed to accrue so much junk in the last three years. Most of my things are packed now and later I’m going to start…

  • Holiday Update

    The Christmas holiday has been interesting. I made a roast dinner for a couple of friends who happened to be in town or had no other place to be and then ended up have a marathon of Californication’s third season. I could say I haven’t received anything, but that would be something of a lie.…

  • Elmo’s Visit

    For nearly the last week, I’ve have been in the fabulous company of Elmo, a zinester from my home town. She had come down to the capital for two things: A Reclaim The Night rally and the Zine Fair that was a part of the Space Invaders exhibition at the National Gallery. Along the way,…

  • This Week

    An update is long overdue. But this week has been busy. I learned late last week that one of our experts at work is headed for greener pastures, meaning that his work will now spill over onto the rest of us. Not that this is good or bad but really marks the end of era.…

  • Friday Night Magic

    Went out Friday night, and I’m late as usual. Drove across the town to the scratched-throat vocals of Tom Waits playing through dying speakers. I promised to pick up Em to deliver her to La Chat Noir, an irregular nightclub event that’s run out of the Kremlin Bar. Its a place that capitalises soviet chic,…
