Back from my Haida holiday and had a good time...except for a lot of waiting around.
Got the old noggin scanned and hopefully there's nothing there...
HAR HAR HAR HAR [for Dad]
BC Ferries...good times good times...
I've gone from Rupert to Haida Gwaii 3 times now (once here and a return this past weekend) and the ferries haven't left on time for any of them. And the patience of the people!? Well, it's obvious that most of them are old pros and know that the ferry is never on time...so, why worry? If this happened in Ontario, elections could be won or lost on the issue. There would be write-in campaigns, firings, constant complaining...and not of the amused patient type, but the "Time is money, and I can't be wasting it waiting for the fucking ferry, and yadda yadda yadda..." type. This is one of the positives of living in BC than Ontario. They take their time...
Got a cabin for the trip back and it was all good...and it was fun hanging in the hotel room high and playing harmonica like a broken but defiant rock star...i came close to throwing the tv off the balcony!!! lots of fun

Prince Rupert tale:
so im lying on the bed resting high listening to tunes doing crosswords finishing the zevon bio and then i hear it the noise the laughter the sinister fucking laughter no no cackling is that a better description its hard to tell but it is not happy it is beyond good and into evil territory young laughter affected by drugs perhaps a potent cocktail leaving one in a overall state of hysteria not of the def leppard kind and i shiver i shake then the "noise" changes to yelling someone had the nerve to tell this kid? to stop me i could hardly look out the curtains i couldnt move i was frozen to the bed listening to the laughter of the mad the bad the evil the hysterical and then the noise turns to screaming a screamed fuck you fuck you filled with hatred and the hatred that makes him mad that he has to drug himself to numb himself from his life? himself? the noise starts to abate and i slowly rise from my 7th floor bed and peek over the balcony looking for the criminally insane the tortured the angry the hysterical i saw no one i saw no one

Kraan: Kraan (1972) Another great krautrock discovery!!! I feel so naive getting into all this great krautrock at such a late date in the game. This is great...lots of jazz influence and the 18 minute "Head" is fantastic.
music that grabs you and holds on to you keeping your attention
shaking your lapels
brushing your hair
flushing the toilet
great sax
