I just saw a commercial for a strange event. Canada Loves NY seems like a weird idea to me. What’s next? Belgium Loves NY? I suppose NY tourism is hurting pretty badly, and I’d love to help out, but being down there on some sort of field trip with lots of other Canadians doesn’t really appeal to me. Now if they took our money at par, that would be different!

Welcome Blog Widow!
Well, she finally caved. Brooke, my longsuffering companion, has started her own blog! Titled, cleverly, Blog Widow, it promises to provide an alternative outlook to life in the CC household. Right now she’s just using a Blogger template, but I’ll be helping her spice up the design soon.
In other website news, check out the ultra-minimalistic site I designed for photographer Paul Weeks. Paul has shot photos for a lot of high-profile advertising campaigns. Check out his work, and then hire him!
Rheostatics Again!
I went to see the Rheostatics again last night. Contrary to earlier reports, last night was show 10 of 11 (making Sunday’s show the fifth). They played close to three hours, and it might have been the best show I’ve ever seen. They played about 8 songs from Whale Music, an album many consider to be their strongest, and definitely my favourite. If fact, it was my friend Brent (who was with me last night) who turned me on to the band back in 1992 when Whale Music was released. The only thing I don’t like about seeing shows anymore is coming home at 3:00am. Since the subway service stops before then, I had to take the Yonge bus, the infamous “Vomit Comet.” As always, there was one guy who kept yelling out “PARTY!!” on the crowded bus, and threatening to turn us all into fish sticks if we didn’t move back.

Blogger Weirdness
Blogger has been weirding out my blog lately. Anyone else notice archives disappearing and reappearing, and the date formatting getting weird (check out 11.11.01 and below)? Does anyone know how to fix this?
