Blogging, that is. Or for that matter, posting in a forum, or commenting on someone's comment. Why are you uttering (spoken or otherwise) your thoughts? Kyro did up this post last night. I was really impressed. The detailed and personal descriptions of how the game made him feel, the annotations on the pictures, provided the necessary details to allow you to see a real solid chunk of what makes him a person. Knowing him, I felt like I shared a bit of his evening with him... the part without his "johnson," that is ;) I vastly prefer this sort of commentary to the usual, "Hey, check out this great link (boobies) I found doodz!!!" No offense intended to boobies, but what are you trying to say with that? I'm sorry to offend any of you great people that post such drivel. BUT, it is the chud in the sewer from which I am trying to escape. It is the "hydro" in my hydrogenated margarine. Do you get the picture? Now, don't get me wrong (ha!). I make pos...

Expectation Reality 2 attendees: Vin and Me Vin, Me, January, James, Jay-Pep, Chantelle good food available Food was fantastic Irish beer and ordinary coffee to drink Several Irish beers, Irish-style coffee, Barley water w/lemon and honey! listen to Irish-based rock music Several Irish Artists, James played guitar and he and I sang 2hrs of U2, Sinead, Spirit of the West, and others moderated to annoying amounts of Joyce analysis check! Actually, I found it quite subtle and cleverly (hope, hope) integrated into conversation about society and (hu)*man All in all, a fantastic time was had by yours truly. This is definitely an event to repeat next year! * in case Lucky is reading along... I don't want you to get the wrong idea about my gender-bias

Some of you may recall a little dramatic flick I was in surrounding events in the Winter War (wikipedia). James Klenz has done another piece covering the same conflict but with a serious comic twist. The trailer is only 35 seconds, which I deem to be too short. I hope I am invited to a screening. It looks like a hoot. Jim, if you can hear me, post more details for your adoring public. I have a readership of somewhere in the ball park of three.

I am hereby announcing my intention of doing another trek around the city of Saskatoon this summer. My proposed date is Saturday July 7th (4am-ish). I'm pretty solid on that date, but I would be willing to negotiate with anyone who is actually serious about coming along for the trip. There are two things I have learned from my previous attempts: Prepare. That is mentally and physically. If you aren't running, or at least walking (a lot) yet... START! With construction and all, we could be looking at 65 km or more. For perspective, that's coming up on 1.5 marathons. Involve such family as you have. People walking stretches with me and meeting for picnic lunches, etc... were both encouraging (trust me, it's a long day) and just plain fun. Wendy will be heading up my support committee. If you are going to come along you should have your people talk to my people. Here are the links to my trip from last year. lead-in , ramblings and pictures
