obskura is turning 11111 next Caturday, which is a good reason for a party :) It’s at my house on Caturday, March 28th. Let me know if you need the address or directions. 17:00-20:00: family friendly time, since a lot of you have kids now. Show up hungry if you like – we’ll have plenty…

Today, I got an Airport Express because I wanted to play music from my computer on the speakers in my bedroom (without dragging the computer in every time.) The complete setup process: Took it out of the box, plugged it in. Found the "Airport Setup Utility" already installed on my MacBook and ran it. It disconnected…
I think I’m a Montréaler now…
Last Caturday, walking back to obskura‘s after a party: <scjody> I’m kinda hungry. Is there any good food around here that isn’t Dad’s? <obskura> There’s a pizza place up ahead. <scjody> That sounds good. Is it the kind of place where I can get une pointe? Um, uh, I mean a slice. Couldn’t remember the…
Advance warning: Robin’s birthday
Robin and I are having a party on her birthday: March 28. If you read this, you’re probably invited. Details and a proper invitation to follow :)
CN tower climb
I’m doing the CN tower stair climb this April 18… Let me know if you’re interested in joining in. Infos here, and you can sponsor me by donating to the World Wrestling Federation if that’s your kind of thing. (Tax receipts for donations of $20 or more.)
morning bright rise
“Morning.” “Good morning.” “Have you seen the coffee filters?” “Corner cupboard.” “Did you see what Zoe did to the toilet roll?” “Yeah, that dog can be bad.” “Morning.” “You’ve worked in a restaurant before?” “Yeah, I figured I should warm up the coffee cups.” “Nice.” “Hey, man.” “Hey.” “Coffee?” “Did you see the toilet roll?”…
Protected: Fun in Boulder
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Bouldering in Boulder
Sun Feb 8, 17:35: AC 8657, YUL-ORD, arr 19:04 Sun Feb 8, 20:08: UA 959, ORD-DEN, arr 21:49 Mon Feb 16, 11:25: AC 1072, DEN-YUL, arr 16:53 I don’t actually mind Boulder anymore because I have a friend there who climbs and skis, and they have the best climbing gym I’ve ever seen.
Personal Inbox Zero
It’s been a while coming, but I finally did it. So if you’ve been expecting an email reply from me and didn’t get it, I must have lost your message and please send it again :)
Cruella FYI
Cruella had a fire last night and will probably be closed for the next few months. Looks like it started in the shoe place on the corner (to the left.) The shoe place will probably have to be rebuilt, but Cruella looks like it will be fine as long as they have money in the…
Wildside Plans
The Wildside Festival is already well underway… here’s a chance to see some fringe and fringe-like plays you might have missed for 2x the price in a different theatre :) I’m going to see everything I haven’t seen already: The Sputniks, 21:00 Sunday January 18 The Ballad of the Young Offender, 19:00 Friday January 23…
YAY!
I don’t have time to post the full itinerary, but I randomly flew to SFO on Sunday and I’m heading back to Montréal on Tuesday on the same overnight flights as obskura.
Montréal happenings
I seem to be back in Montréal with time off work and no plans other than lots of climbing… Does anyone want to do anything at any point? I’m more or less totally free until Jan 4th but I have no idea who’s even in town.
I couldn’t sleep on Wednesday night. But I found these, so it’s not all bad. (clicky for more.)
Patrick was working at MainLine tonight and informed me of an important fact: exactly 6 months to Fringe!!!
La Bella Luna
Does anyone want to go see La Bella Luna with me? I have 2 tickets.. Remaining shows I can make it to are: Wednesday, December 10th @ 8:00pm, Thursday, December 11th @ 8:00 pm, Friday, December 12th @ 8:00 pm. The Moon falls in love with a waiter, dark forces plot revenge while Benjamin doubts…
Canoe trip teal deer
Friday night: Met up with 10 other nutcases in front of the Shatner building. It was raining a bit but there was no snow on the ground in Montréal – but things would soon change for us. The drive out to Floodwood Pond was uneventful – the border guard asked us a lot of questions,…
2 mini reviews
1. If you like EBM music, you need to see the Crüxshadows at your next opportunity. Totally worth the 4 hour drive to Albany from Montréal. 2. The Sol LeWitt exhibit at MASS MoCA is made of pure win. You have approximately 25 years to go see it, so there’s no excuse to miss out….
Google Maps now does Montréal transit directions. Finally! Though I wish I could tell it “don’t bother with a 3 minute bus ride; I’ll walk” or that Mont-Royal is only 7 minutes from here, not 11. Update: ah, you sorta can do the first one by telling it to go to the métro station of…
a clean inbox is the sign of a sick mind
OK, on the left is my work inbox. I finally replied to everything that needed a reply, so everything there came in today, less than 3 hours ago. Except: whoah, there are 2 messages from the future! Oh, right, timezones. That’s not nearly as fun. I’m also down to the last 5 messages in my personal…
