Knock Knock knockin' a Few Back
After work liquor pick-up at a friendly bus stop with a bizarre mixture of people. "Water" at the Roxy with peeps. Super-cool movie. There are more widows in India than people in Canada. "Water" takes place in the 30s to illustrate that the way in which widows are treated is more or less an "old-world" belief that continues to openly display itself. "Water" takes place next to a river, some famous one that I oughta learn if I seriously want to critique the film. India baffles me.
Too cold tonight to walk to and from a house-warming party somewhere in Oak Bay. I don't really like going there. Let's just say Oak Bay and memories don't mix.
So anyways, sorry R., but I don't have your new number to tell you I won't be around. I'll stay home with Hermannators, Rye, the girl, a classic Slovak cinema (another movie!), and knock a few back.

Polyethylene
Lavaplatos -- not magma, nor philosophical. It means dishwasher in Spanglish and usually written in bold letters on the dishwasher box.
I'm sort of getting into John Coltrane through the new Thelonious Monk collaboration recorded years ago but, to my understanding, only released very recently. Coltrane has a very stark, yet melodic tone on this recording.
Getting very tired. Had awesome dinner. Almond tofu with sliced kiwi, orange, and banana, steamed broccoli with yellow pepper, and two potato buns and one raisin bun with cheddar sliced across. Was going to watch "Misfits." Will do that in the morning. Ended up watching the abridged version of "Patch Adams" on the tele.
Picked up the killerest deal in the CRD yesterday: Hermmanator. It is long after the well dried. The Strathcona was selling them and I picked up three. I have a reserve of Hermmanator. And you don't.
Seen any good films recently?
(I've been like, waiting for minutes to get this information I posted on my very favourite message board. The server is slow at the moment, which is totally fine, I rarely give them a dime, but it takes. I've clicked the same link like forty times in a row so at least I'll hopefully make it slow for all of the other users on at the moment. Almost there. One, possibly two, links away)
Port of Shadows -- 1938 French, poet-realist
Don't Drink the Water -- Woody Allen, 1996, set in an American Embassy far far away from America.
Johnny Cash! -- documentary. lots of live footage from 68. Studio footage with Dylan. Lots of Johnny in a motor home with June, driving around the flat-lands talking to ugly people.
Monsiuer Verdoux -- 1948, Charlie Chaplan. Post-tramp. He plays a serial-killing dude who goes after strange rich women's money. Counts cash extremely fast. Ties murder and love to war.

The Taste Is So Sweet
Internet connection, bah!
The great feeling of right now is being the first person to update now that our internet connection is fixed. And if you really think that's exciting, well, earlier today, I went around and did some stuff!
INTERNET TIP
If you are using Norton Internet Security and your computer is infected by a virus, Norton will disable your internet connection. So while you are fussing about, raging at the telephone company, the issue is that Norton flicked the switch and it's up to you to turn the switch back to "on."
Simply double-click on Start,
double-click on Control Panel,
double-click on Network Connections
At this point, look at Local Area Connection, does it say "disabled" or something similar? If it does
double-click on it and for me, it enabled it automatically.
