Ummm, yeah. So I’m done blogging about the MBA. And TIFF is over for another year. So what the hell do I talk about now?

Well, last night we got the remnants of a hurricane. Which was fun. And this morning the American financial system fucking melted. Happy trails, Lehman Brothers. You too Merrill Lynch. Say hello to Bear Stearns for us. Here’s hoping AIG can get up off the mat. Me, I spent the day trying to catch up at the office and wondering how the ass balls I can tame my inbox.

And here’s what’s coming up: Canadiens training camp. A Mogwai concert. A Toronto FC game next weekend. Volo’s cask days. Drinks with two friends and a cousin (all at different times…they don’t know each other) that I’ve been putting off for a while. Dinner with T-Bone. Long overdue blog template redesign. The “some day” category on my RTM task list. PVR annihilation, especially the stuff recorded back in December. Listening (finally) to the following:

• bonnie prince billy . lie down in the light
• coldplay . viva la vida or death and all his friends
• frightened rabbit . sing the greys
• kings of leon . only by the night
• lightspeed champion . falling of the lavender bridge
• mates of state . re-arrange us
• mgmt . oracular spectacular
• mogwai . the hawk is howling
• nick + norah’s infinite playlist . original soundtrack
• okkervil river . the stand-ins
• spiritualized . songs in a & e
• tv on the radio . dear science
• walkmen . you & me
• witch . paralyzed
• wolf parade . at mount zoomer

Reviews:

• I watched a few minutes of J.J. Abrams’ new show Fringe and that was enough. I liked Cloverfield and all but I want nothing to do with the dude’s shows.
• The jury’s still out on the new HBO show True Blood. Alan Ball: good. Vampires: boring. Anna Paquin: less hot than I expected. Rutina Wesley, who plays her best friend: my new girlfriend du jour.
• Bon Iver: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
