Hi-de-hi-de gwaii, Springsteen still sucks, stupid commercials, and The Guess Who and Manfred Mann rock youtube!!!

Harvey and Bah on the beach
It's a crazy time in the land of q...c...i

The guru has a job interview coming up. Who knows? Life is a mystery, and the ending is in the middle of the dream....

I'm feeling good about life. Sometimes, it's difficult to keep Mr. Depression away, but overall I keep kicking his sorry ass to the curb. If we do move, we'll be moving to Vancouver or Vancouver Island, which won't be too bad. It'll be nice to have some live music to go see. I'll have a better chance at getting that FT permanent programmer / web developer job I want. I figured we'd be moving down there eventually, but maybe not quite this soon. Whatever. Hopefully, the next move will be the last one for a while.

I will miss the relaxed lifestyle and beauty of Haida Gwaii, but Vancouver ain't too bad. Who knows? Maybe we'll still be here for another year or two or five or twenty?? photo courtesy of cassandraseye.

Musical Ramblings

A friend of mine (thanks Brant!) just sent Pete Townshend's "The Lifehouse Chronicles" (2000) and I'm looking forward to diving in. Pete has some of the best demos I've ever heard. His Scoop series is great!

My Can dvd is now in Richmond...
almost here
almost here
I await impatiently...
man, I'll be putting this dvd in the player pretty fucking fast!!

I've been getting into Link Wray's 70s musical output. Very enjoyable. Maybe I'll have to check out his earlier material. How can I not have "Rumble" anywhere in my collection??!!

OK...I listened to fucking Springsteen again, and what gives? Everybody loves the guy, but I just can't get into him. I listened to "The Essential Springsteen" disc 1 - the early stuff, which I thought I would like more...BUT I still don't like his stuff. He should have just been a staff writer for Manfred Mann's Earth Band!! I don't think Mr. Boss will be on my listening list anytime soon [aside: yes, I have a listening list...so what!? don't you??? haha]

a cop stands directing traffic when a line of people marching in unison chanting this mantra walk by...the cop stops directing traffic to join in the line...others continually join in the line as they march to the nearest coffee shop...

NOW

isn't this stupid enough to be a great commercial? Any coffee shops can contact me c/o this blog and make me an offer for the use of this brilliant idea.

Did you know Bruce Lee died from smoking too much hashish? I didn't either, until I read it
