my imperfect offering

when was the last time i posted a REAL post? i don't have an answer for that, but i presume it was at least a month ago. i've had a busy fall but that's not an excuse. excuses are for people who try to justify their priorities. i haven't been here simply because it hasn't been a priority. but here i am...

i've spent the better part of the past month studying. that's about all i want to say about that. i also have a road trip coming up for work. again, no more needs to be said about that.

on a more fun note, i've been to 2 live shows recently. an acoustic show by ron hawkins. a fine show that was sparsely attended, sadly. he's a very talented, witty fellow. the second show was at the same venue two nights later. the place was packed to see the rheostatics. i didn't get home until 3am that night. i think i'm still recovering... hah!

cbc is having a 'national playlist', where you can vote for the top 10 songs that should be on the playlist. i vote whenever i remember, for the weakerthans song 'aside', which, i recently found out, is in the movie 'wedding crashers'.

check the website here:


vote for the weakerthans, or another fantastic song by a band called Bedouin Soundclash, and their reggae/ska song 'when the night feels my song'. i dare you not to dance to this song when you hear it. anyone who doesn't smile while hearing this song is just trying too hard to be a grump.

snow is upon us.....

have you brought in all your frost-fearing plants from outside yet?

LOL, Owen, we'll let you off the hook by saying you have had reasons, not excuses , for not posting! All plants safely tucked in for the winter, and not a moment too soon! Susan
