Long Hot Summer Night

...as far as the eye can. But sitting my ass out here on the porch, the breezes are being kind to me.

Another day, another demo. Knocking them down, slowly but surely. That's half good. But I'd rather be punching them out faster.

Life is good right now, better than it's been for some time and on many fronts to boot.
I feel good. I need to do some more now. Get back on track some aspects of living I let slide when I was letting the punk rock IT biz own my very soul.

Well no more! At least, not this week.

That's all I have to say right now, save for: ex-Naylor, give us a shout back when you can...

Tempus fugit

By gum... it hAs Damn Well been a lOng time since i Last posted anything on this Fine blog.

And it has been quite a month... Started a new job, got the car back on the road and into Toronto... now all I need to do is get the parking permit taken care of.

Been fairly busy on the concert front... In one week towards the end of May I saw the Doves, the Black Crowes and Kasabian (again). It was a good week.
The Doves kicked ass. Period.
The Black Crowes was a blast... happy I could see that show. Best quote to open a show with ever: "It smells like George Bush's worst nightmare out there... and I don't mean falafel." (Chris Robinson).
Kasabian... oh man, the album sounds better everytime I hear it, and the band gets better every time I see them. Always a good show, if they come to your neck of the woods... go see them. Do it. Trust me on this.

...and has anyone else be watching the new Doctor Who on CBC (or bit torrent if you like to get your imports within a few hours of their original air time)?
Christopher Eccleston is now my favourite Doctor. I confess to having had reservations about an ex-pop star playing the companion, but Billie Piper's Rose is a good character. I am quite chuffed she is staying on after the first season.

Hey, have to give out a large number of congrats to a lot of people for different reasons... Acker, Page, Nick, Trevor... good work on the new jobs, hope you enjoy them. Chi, congrats on your impending nuptials.

It's finally cooling down. We've had a week of heat that can only be described as just stupid... temperatures in excess of 30 degrees celcius with heavy humidity every day.
Thankfully since yesterday we finally started getting the thunderstorms we needed to take the swamp effect away.

Been working from home for the last couple of days... it's been good, I can get a fair amount done in a day, minimal distractions and I can knock off some of the more mundane tasks of life.

By the way, if anyone sees the Fleck, let me know... that guy still owes us a whack of cash.

Right, I have a morning meeting with the client, and I need to do some more work on this material. Out.

PS. I won't let five to six weeks pass without blogging again.
