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…

For reference: it is possible to ride 47km at ludicrous speed with 3 of the best apple pies in the world in a shoulderbag, and have them arrive almost completely intact.

Somewhat back
I’ve been back since Wednesday evening, but still not back to normal: I haven’t caught up on sleep, I’m behind on work, and there’s still a mountain of dirty gear in my living room. Which is too bad since there are interesting things planned for every evening this week. I’ll go to as many of…
Ceiling cat, we has it.
Last week was extremely busy – prepared for the Church of Ceiling Cat, which I am building at that thing in the desert this year, helped other people from our camp with their preparations, did most of a reasonable week’s work for my employer, and slept (a bit.) The Church is pretty well ready to…
