I Found My Thrill

I’d sent an e-mail to Thrill Jockey a few weeks back as part of their upcoming 10th anniversary t-shirt design contest. I got a response saying that I’d picked the design that they had decided to go with and had won a prize. Whoo-hoo!

Minority Report

I checked out a late show of Minority Report last night with my friend Chris. Not too shabby. Some reviews I’d heard were that it was too long. Didn’t seem long by today’s (and even Spielberg’s) standards.

Welcome, Nico!

Welcome to the world Nicolas John (Nico)! You’ll always have your birthday off with your Dad bbq’ing for ya until he lets you take over the grill (yeah, like when you’re 30). Congratulations Val and Dave!

Happy Fourth of July to our friends and neighbours to the south.

What’s That Smell?

Happy Birthday Canada!

It is a gross 35 degrees celcius in Toronto today. 45 with the humidity. On top of that, there’s no garbage pick-up as the workers are on strike. Mmmm.

I’m Melting!

Happy Birthday Nick!

It is so hot in Toronto right now that there is a very noticeable difference in temperature in the shade. The worst thing is that it ain’t even a dry heat.

This afternoon I watched the old Hitchcock classic “Torn Curtain” with Paul Newman and (must be said in a falsetto voice, a la Peter Cook from “Bedazzled”) Julie Andrews. Quite enjoyable.
