Some person some place has written guidelines for moving day.
I know it must be out there somewhere.
But not everybody got the memo....
Today was moving day - not for me but I was one of the crew.
check that - I was the crew.
Not that it was all that bad or that I minded.
It just didn't seem to follow the "rules"
No beer and chili, no beer and chicken, no beer...



And the courses are already demanding my time - which is expected of course.
It's just a bit harder to get to work after a four day hiatus.

song of the day
"Fire Brigade" - the MOVE

I love watching the dude in the white pants - plays an awesome air guitar
"oooh!"

I'm not sure if it is due to cutbacks or the sinking of the one decent ship they had in the fleet, but the ferry to Swartz Bay was a little less comfortable than when I last rode it to Tsawassen.

Nevertheless it is good to be back from a four day hiatus - tell me you missed me - and back in the blogosphere whre everyone has something to say and few of us have time nor interest to read it.

Regardless, i made it back to the university despite some difficulties with the bus - it broke down part way home.

We had to hoof it the rest of the way. Scenic, but rather gruelling.

I think I shall sleep well tonight

i have 200 couches

song of the day: "PDA" - Interpol

So, dear reader, I have another movie recommendation for you tonight.

Even though he is just five years younger, Douglas Coupland seems to be from another time entirely.
Yet his highly personal "Souvenir of Canada" rings true to me and to every other generation in the movie theatre tonight.

He makes the journey to discover his country mesh with the journey to discover himself, and even if that sounds all too cliche, and it is, the movie works as a piece of witty and reflective art.

Song for the day is from the movie.
"Stars and Sons" : Broken Social Scene

the little fellow at the top of the blog is Ookpik.
In 1966 some Canadian committee wanted Ookpik to become a uniquely Canadian symbol.
