Subdee came up to Montreal for a few days! Sunday evening through Wednesday morning. We went to see The Avengers again on Monday night. XD;

Was woken up at 5AM on Tuesday morning by extremely loud thunder and lightning. Got up, checked the windows, went back to bed and dreamt fuzzily of Thor getting angry and bashing things. It looked over by the ( Read more... )

1) So that was quite the snowstorm, even for Montreal! Thank goodness for telework. Let's all of us in affected areas take a moment to experience my favorite (no irony) thing about winter, namely the dazzling white ski-slope light that reflects off the city on a blue-skied day after a snowstorm. Pure brightness without heat. There's nothing ( Read more... )

I mean "this is not usually the time of year, except for some reason May 2010 has deigned to grace us with both SNOW and THIRTY DEGREE CELSIUS HEAT WAVE." I actually broke down and had to turn the AC on; normally I hold out for as long as I can while exercising my God-given right to pad around the house in sarongs and oversize kurtis. In May. In ( Read more... )

1) IT IS SNOWING. THERE IS AN INCH OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY.

It's killing the daffodils as I speak! :/ At least the peonies are protected by an overhang - the shoots are like eight inches tall.

2) I don't mean like I found this randomly on Youtube, I mean it was playing on Virgin Radio at rush hour yesterday afternoon.

Black Lagoon 20-23: we didn't have time to watch the last episode, but I'm going to write about it now because I have no idea when we'll actually get to the finale (various RL scheduling issues). Um... yeah, this continues not to pull any punches. There're series that are all "we have crossed the line into darkness and can never have a normal ( Read more... )

Just had Accounting final; it wasn't nearly as bad as the midterm. Huge group project was also completed and I assume turned in (5-word executive summary: don't loan money to Hertz XD;). I did a quick calculation and an A- ought to be attainable, an A would be lucky but not beyond the realm of mathematical possibility. This is good because I ( Read more... )

1) Global warming is an unpredictable enemy; every season it's something different. This winter's theme was "oh hey let's switch December and April and see if anyone notices". D: South of here it's all been rain, but we got rain and snow - three huge blizzards in as many weeks that turned to slush as soon as they hit the ground. It's a hard ( Read more... )

Full album uploads, as promised. Ambient, downtempo stuff; the sort of music that hangs in the air like incense, soothes jangled nerves and doesn't impede productivity. XD

Brian Eno - Ambient 4: On Land [1982]: basically I owe Brian Eno a drink for making this album. For a period of three months last year I abused it like a wired lab rat at the ( Read more... )

It's so guys have plenty of fresh snow to pee four-leaf clovers in.

Meanwhile: BOOKA SHADE TONIGHT. I do have tickets - had to trawl Tranceaddicts to figure out where and when they were going on sale. >_>

Speaking of which, MUTEK 2007 lineup. Mayer + Wighnomy + Boratto + Aguayo +++ *flails*. Here's hoping Villalobos and the Minimalicious Krew ( Read more... )
