Listening to the Fugazi album Repeater in its entirety tonight really “took me back” to the “good” old “days” of 1990. The other day when I was in Virgin with Sid I was reading the song titles on the back of a Pixies album that I haven’t had for years, and same thing. And a certain something about the announcer telling me not to miss Three’s Company overtop of the end credits for Superfriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show whisked me, disconcertedly, back to a very specific “feeling” of 1984. For a moment, I was there in the basement of our home in Chilliwack, in the same room I taped The Real Ghostbusters religiously every Saturday morning. I remember for a while they were airing on two different channels – two different episodes. Maddening. Well, Captain Star starts in 8 minutes, I better get my tape ready. The more things change….

happy birthday! Yay!
And that is all.
Oh yes, there’s more: I started making you a birthday card, and suddenly — without warning — it turned into 4 hours of labour on Illustrator. The brand-new mouse that I bought at your b-day auction may have had something to do with it. Then, I had the audacity to steal the image for my own website. For shame.
That is audacious. Even a little oddacious. Does the keyboard work for you?
