"What the hell is going on?

We have a luge track that kills people.

We gave the first nations leaders "Head of State" status, and then they show up late leaving our GG and PM in a half empty dignitary box and broadcaster's trying to figure out why things seem to have gone off track.

There was an overlong First Nations welcome as they slowly dance out in a disorganized fashion...I've seen First Nations people dance many times and been very impressed, but not tonight.

Neither flag opens properly.

Bryan Adams and Nelly Furtado should never sing a duet together again.

The middle section was beautiful, the Orcas were great as was the showcase of Canada. Sarah McLachlan was great as well.

Then you have the fat guy making us look like a bunch of self righteous jerks and taking pointless cheap shots at the Americans with "we say zed not zee" and that Canada is an experiment that is "actually working".

The GG declares the games open...Yaaay!!! The games are on...oh wait, we need to sit through a slow and somber Leonard Cohen cover by kd f'n lang!

The hydraulics failed on the indoor torch rising. Steve Nash might have been smiling, but we could all see the "oh shit" expression on his face.

They stick Wayne Gretzky, one of our greatest athletes, in the back of a Silverado and drive him through the pouring rain for 20 minutes to light the final cauldron. I saw him almost slip at least twice.

Oh, and just for good measure...the whole entire world is watching.

Today was not a good day and tonight was not a good night."

She calls the doctor, says "look what i've done"

There's this Jesus Lizard song i love called "lady shoes". it's my favorite JL song. I just got the urge to check out the lyrics and WOW! i had no idea.... This is like "Prison Sex" by Tool X 1000!!!

Still love the song mind you, but eeeesh... i feel dirty after reading that!





The Jesus Lizard Lady Shoes lyrics

There's a girl, playing her piano, there's a little girl,
playing her big piano
While her mother gives her an enema, while her mother
While her mother gives her an enema, while her mother
And then the daddy comes in and jacks off on the piano,
and jacks off on the piano
And jacks off on the piano, and jacks off on the piano
Meanwhile, the local maternity ward,
nurse comes in with a great big sledgehammer
She kills all the little babies,
destroys the monitoring system
Says she got some time to stick around
She calls the doctor, said look what I've done
She calls the doctor, said look what I've done
She calls the doctor, said look what I've done
Doctor comes in, pops a boner and jacks off in her cap
And then the motel manager comes by
And takes a little shit in his hand,
and then he takes a little shit in his hand
And then he takes a little shit in his hand
And the he puts it on like lipstick, lipstick,
he puts it on like lipstick, lipstick

i've got a lot of friends

I LOVE this song. makes me wanna lie in bed with my headphones and listen to Mazzy Star albums all night...



I know just what your mama said
Always misunderstood
Gotta tell you something
I saw it in your eyes

I think I left your back seat
And now it's always good
I fell asleep from day
And all the promises

There's a lot of people
That let their will to say
I've got a lot of friends

And they've got beautiful eyes
That make my heart feel surprised
And you notice it
And that's the truth
That's the truth

Have me to you
I shine along underneath your view
I'll be the one
To let you know when you've come undone

I like the stars in the sky
And watch the moonlight go by
I've got a lot of friends

2010!!!!!!!!!

Apart from my travels, 2009 sucked!!!! I'm pretty confident that this year will be much better.


I just started listening to this 80's band called Japan. I'd kinda heard of them, but never really heard them. This song kicks so much ass (the bass player's neck gyrations just make the video, though!!)

I've been watching U2 videos on youtube for the last three hours. Debating whether or not try to get tickets for the second show here that's going on sale in a few days. I kind of miss being a hardcore U2 fan. I mean, The Cure is superior in every way, but U2 will always be #2 in my heart, despite every album they've released since Zooropa. Actually, Pop was a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Bono used to be my Robert Smith. It just so happens that I identify a little more with the dark side! haha... Still don't regret switching favourite bands at the ago of 15. It was a natural thing. Plus, Robert's voice has stood the test of time better than Bono's has. I wasn't intending to turn this into a Cure vs U2 thing. My intentions were
good. I still love U2, even though it may not be cool thing these days... I'm not afraid to admit it!!!

Jacob's Ladder is on Scream. I love this movie. It really disturbed me the first me i saw it, but i was 12 years old, so I forgive myself that. One of the few movies ***spoiler alert*** where the whole 'this story never actually happened either cause it was a dream or some kind of between life and death hallucination' doesn't feel like cop-out.

There's a thunderstorm happening as I type- i can't remember a summer with more thunderstorms in my 27 years of existence. Everybody's going on about how crappy this summer has been, and i don't necessarily dispute that, but i prefer this to the super hot, muggy weather that we usually get here during summertime. That being said, i hope that it's nice and hot in a month's time when i'm lounging seaside in The Hague. A little beach, a little war crimes museum - it'll be a great couple of days.

i'm reading three books concurrently: The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon and Lanark by Alaisder Gray. All three storylines, despite been completely not even close to similar, are starting to meld together in my mind to form some sory of hybrid, never-before-seen narrative. All three are great so far, although the Sound and the Fury is quite maddening in its non-linearness and time shifts and stream of consciousness style. The content is great, just a little frustrating in its presentation. I haven't had this much difficulty following a story in a long time. And they teach this novel to kids in high school!! it's all very humbling, says the girl who's considering doing a masters in comparitive literature. hahaha.

end of an era

Goodbye Saku - I always thought that he would play his whole career here and retire as a Hab. I shouldn't even be thinking about hockey in early July, but the free agent frenzy here in montreal a few days ago has sparked my interest and got me really anticipating next season. Early October can't come fast enough, as far as i'm concerned.

This is a fitting tribute to our team's captain of 10 years - got me all teary-eyed, actually! haha
