I have freezing cold feet ...

... just figured you'd want to know. Is that a good excuse to stop writing my chapter today? I'd much rather curl up on the couch under a blanket and read a book with a steaming cup of tea by my side. That sounds so much nicer than pouring through piles of books looking for that one citation that continues to elude me. How about, "All my books are still in boxes and I don't know which box has the books I'm looking for, so I can't write my thesis." Didn't think so. Damn, where's the tequila when you need it!

Beat This Tam!

I saw this kid on "Ellen" this morning and wow! One of my ultimate goals is to be able to play "Through the Fires and Flames" on Expert on Guitar Hero III. Yeah, I know it's a pretty lame goal but shut up. The first video is the original one found on YouTube (I think) and the second is his appearance on "Ellen". Watch out Tam, I've been practicing and one day I'll kick your ass just like this kid can! HA!

One of many reasons why I like CBC Radio!

Don't tell my mother, but I absolutely love CBC Radio One! If she knew, she'd smirk and say, "Well, at least you have some good taste. You inherited that from me." At our house the radio was always tuned to CBC 740 (Edmonton), and I've grown used to it. I'll listen to CBC 2 and occasionally CBC 3 (but that gets pretty weird at times), however I prefer to listen to Radio One on its original format on the AM dial (it sounds grittier and more interesting). I usually try to catch "Q" as wells as "DNTO", "Blue Sky" (in Alberta - "Wild Rose Country") and of course, no Saturday is complete without "Quirks and Quarks". Hey, I think the CBC should pay me a cut for promoting their programs!

Anyways, driving back from Yorkton last night we managed to catch a replay of Jian Ghomeshi's "Q". They mentioned a really neat website: www.sleeveface.com. Here's an example:



Neat huh? They've also got a really cool one from Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album. I like the ones from Peter Frampton and Pantera (funny) albums. By the way, if you've never heard of Cibo Matto, you should check them out, they're really good!
