The new Mark Birtles Project mp3 has arrived. Considering how much I hated their first disc, this song is a HUGE, HUGE improvement over the last recording.

However, with that being said... they're still definitely a band that HAS to be seen live to be properly appreciated.

holy shit Andy, what time are you teaching that class? i hardly have any classes that day and i'd fuckin' love to see that in action!

i think you mean the "Fantas-dick Fourskin"
which reminds me, i forgot to tell you about that comic strip idea i had about the FanFour, featuring "Mr. Fantas-dick, the Flamin' Torch, Thang (it's slobberin' time, and he's rocksolid), and the Invisible Pussy"

Stretch Headstrong
The Human Bunsen Burner
Captain Canaduhhh
Professor Strange
The Flying Bishop
Duke Fly-Talker
Amaze-O
The Slug
Stickyfingers MacGee



And here's one just for you Andy: Darth Faber




um... how bout the Fantastic Four Skins? haha

I'm sick... see you guys when I get better

does it make sense to go to a relaxing yoga class when you're already falling asleep at your desk? I know the minute we lie down, I'll be out... and I hate doing that in a class... but I've paid for it!

Andy, good luck with that project. It sounds like fun... um, superhero names: captain pants. that's it. I'm exhausted and I can't think. And all the ones I can think of, I think actually are super heroes like the Wonder Kid. So yeah, good luck.

I think I'm going to take a nap in my office.

I'm student teaching a drama class over at V.B. this Friday, and I need a list of 10 unique superhero names. (Groups of three/four students get together and create a single, unified hero - y'know, all of them become a part [leg, arm, cape, etc] of the hero. Then they move around as the hero, and go through some everyday activities: getting up in the morning, grocery shopping... it should be pretty sweet.) But, yeah, I can't come up with enough names here. So, uh, if you have any ideas, please share. (The more, the merrier.) They, y'know, just have to be appropriate for a grade seven class, ha ha. - Really appreciated guys.

yeah, Jess, I had to pay for my class where my prof got nothing for doing it. The university's pretty sticky on the whole "pay for everything" issue, even if they aren't reciprocating. Barb brought in her own slides, her own slide projector, her own animal samples, and even food for us... the only thing the University provided was a room and electricity... which we could've had if we'd just walked in there to study... for free. She also isn't a registered prof on campus, nor does she have an office or anything else that 'regular' profs do... yeah, admin wants everything they can get out of you in this case. Who knew a course credit (by itself) was worth almost $500?

Thanks guys, although I think I'll just bite the bullet and pay up. I wonder if they're going to charge me the same for my Directed Reading class, seeing as how they aren't going to pay the prof.... Probably they will. And thanks for the applying to convocate reminder Paras, I hadn't done that yet.

AHHHH Strawberry ice cream, why are you so good?

Did anyone see the clip about biosteel on t.v.?
