I had a nice relaxing evening while Nellie was at a friend’s wedding — got lots of work done, finished off some errands, ripped lots of CDs, watched a movie, blah blah etc. — and met G&C for breakfast this morning at the (so not kidding) Golden Griddle.
And now, my day will consist of an epic battle between my needing to study accounting and my wanting to watch both the Duke and Toronto basketball games on TV.
On T-Bone’s recommendation I watched Nowhere In Africa (imdb | rotten tomatoes). I’m glad I did. I’m just…too tired to write anything insightful right now.
It’s a nice day out there…almost resembles spring-ishness. I had to run a few errands today, so I revelled in the warm sun and absence of cold wind.
Also making it a good day: my wife’s new haircut is hot.
This article has been sitting in my ‘to read’ bin for so long that I’ve forgotten where I found it. If you’re a liberal, or an “outright screaming burn-down-the-goddam-country commie”, you should definitely give it a look.
I’m now running a (pretty much) squeaky clean OS, and my IIS troubles seem to be gone. I have a couple of new MS Office issues, but I can probably fix those. Now it’s just a matter of installing all the remaining software and tweaking things to get them where I want them. And also ripping CDs to my new hard drive. I plan to do that today while I work.
Soon, my pretty, soon, you’ll be full of music.
[note: i was talking to my nomad there, not to y’all.]
Two interesting articles in this week’s Now Magazine about my neighbourhood, Yonge & Bloor. It really is a mess of an intersection…a shame, as it’s one of the most central and important in the city.
As with most Spike Lee films, She Hate Me (imdb | rotten tomatoes) didn’t really live up to the message he was trying to convey. He used corporate corruption as the backdrop to his story, but then in the late stages tried to suddenly make it the main focus again. Not as bad as the reviews led me to believe, but ultimately disappointing given how hopeful the first 20 minutes made me.
So far this morning my Nomad has served up the following random treats:
Music like this makes mornings like this feel a little more manageable.
Ticketbastard just sent me the event schedule for a number of Toronto venues, including Massey Hall. They list six events in March, and I’m not sure they could be more different (barring tearing out the stage and brining in monster trucks or rodeo or something):
