Yah, we humans are sooooo sensitive…

Oh wait. No it’s just us North Americans. Those other guys are obviously big mean bully types…

Humans are fundamentally very fragile psychologically. The trauma of seeing an automobile accident will stay with you for life. I don’t think we should be subjecting our military to this kind of trauma unless absolutely necessary, and Canada has no natural enemies. Nobody is threatening to overrun our borders. We only have one border, with the US. We’re a very cosmopolitan place, one third French, one third European, and one third other. Why are we at war in a country on the other side of the planet?

CBC comments make me sooooooo crazy!

Not your average violin!

Our friend Darrel Soetaert’s graduation recital is tonight. He started his schooling in violin but was convinced to switch to viola.

A little bit of Schubert, a little bit of Bach. Should be good if the hoodlums I’m with keep it down 😉

Someone’s getting cheeky…

Someone seems to think she is the master of Superpoke battles. Well if she wants to be smacked down, I can give her a hand. I have the discipline to succeed where she would only be left feeling behind.

Tom Wood’s Menagerie

Posted on

Despite all my conniving, Leslie has managed to drag me off to the Citadel’s Glass Menagerie. AND at the last moment informed me it’s one of Tom Wood’s productions. I’ve had a hate on for Mr Woods since forever, but what he did to Chekov (Uncle Vanya) was the last straw.

So to recap: seen the play too many times; Tom Wood sucks; I’ve been played for a fool.

Oh, and it stars Fiona Reid. Who is the female Gordon Pinset… all Canadian, all the time. And I mean ALL the time… everywhere, like a rash, only bigger and more annoying.

But it’ll probably be fine. Really.

OK… Fiona good, Khalid bad. Who’s Khalid you ask? I guess we’ll have to ask Tom…
