“The elderly really recieve you quite well. I think it is because they already know how vulnerable they are; they’re lonely, and long for touch.” “If they’re in need of touch, you touch them.”

Apparently, you get points if you cry a lot. If that is the case, I would clearly be the winner.

John Berryman’s Dream Song #14
Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.
After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,
we ourselves flash and yearn,
and moreover my mother told me as a boy
(repeatingly) “Ever to confess you’re bored
means you have no
Inner Resources.” I conclude now I have no
inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Peoples bore [...]

Last week I was diagnosed with corneal keratoconus which has been increasingly torturing me over the last year. For example, on the highway driving back and forth between Calgary and Lethbridge, I have a difficult time seeing oncoming cars; the reason why I got that huge ticket for an illegal left turn was that I [...]

Get these before NBC takes them down… Win taped “SAK VID PA KANPE” to his guitar, a Haitian proverb (?) that means means: “An empty sack doesn’t stand up.” AKA “A hungry person can’t do anything”. Wait for some guitar smashing at the end of “Intervention.”

CBC 1010

CBC 1010’s Angela Knight was reporting from Lethbridge this morning (for that big/annoying Curling extravagana). I just so happened to be passing by on my way to a Dr’s appointment, and stopped by for an official CBC mug and official CBC Nalgene bottle (with pop top!). Nerd heaven.
While I was looking [...]
The Enlightenment Card (by Visa)

Finally, a credit card to pay for your overpriced lululemon shit:
Visa explains it better than I can: “More than just a credit card, the Enlightenment Visa Card is a card for people who want to make a positive difference in their world.” Positive difference, IN A CREDIT CARD? According to the SF Gate:

The Annotated Neighborhood
Posted in Lethbridge on February 21, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Seeing as how I have failed to Annotate much of anything on this blog, I thought I would annotate my neighborhood.
1) In the top corner (right by the anarchy sign), that is where I live.
2) This morning, I watched a drug deal going down in that parking lot (right behind a Boston Pizza), and then [...]

The new GN’R single leaked today. Guess what? It’s kind of awesome. Apparently, we are a month away from the much delayed Chinese Democracy.
I’m camping out the night before.
Bourdieu, Pierre.
Posted in Naveling on February 20, 2007 | 8 Comments »
Over the weekend, I read a book on Pierre Bourdieu (Pierre Bourdieu: Agent Provocateur – 2 down, 50 to go), which traced the highlights of his career, bridging together the seemingly disparate strands of his work, from his early ethnographies on Algeria to his work on cultural taste. This is one stop shopping for all [...]

I just accidentally broke a tooth, and seeing how it is “family day” in Alberta, my dentist is “unavailable” (even for emergencies).
