National Geographic- good to read, too interesting to throw out, too bulky to store- the ulitmate white elephant.

Sloan- the best Canadian 70s band ever. Even though they were snotnosed brats like me when the boys were in their Bright White Sportscar or Carol was having her High School Confidential or when Business was being Take(i)n Care Of.

There is a history to the ever-changing medium of the WWW- the internet wayback machine -find out what a website looked like back in 1998- ancient history in brave new world of internet.

I want to read Cyrillic.

I am still embarrased by the fact that I have to prove I can drive to the government again, cause I let my license expire. I can operate most vehicles better than most people out there AND more safely. I've extensive experience cycling and some motorcycling. You learn to look far ahead.

I'm thinking about switching to Livejournal.

I saw Dancer in the Dark. What a beautiful movie. Damn, what a sad movie. One of the best btw a rock and hard place decisions I have ever seen anyone put into in any movie. A very human story. Life is sometimes beautiful in it's cruelty. Finding that beauty makes it worthwhile. I could relate to Selma's view of the world.

What I really loved about the movie was the music she found in everyday sounds, the sounds of industry, sounds of the machinery of our society that surround us and how these sounds formed the soundtrack of the musicals in her head.

I loved how the movie criticised so many things, like musicals from Hollywood's golden age, but paid tribute to them at the same time.
