Wait, he's the one with the rooster on his shoulder, and he's giving me the funny look?

Dali and Me, at Madame Tussaud's (thanks, Calvin)

Holy shit. Male patient slain in psychiatric ward.

yeah, I guess not. it's just weird and vaguely ominous that this is my 2nd road trip with them and the second time my right rear tire has gone on a road trip with them.

that whole "third time's a charm" thing is beginning to look worrysome.

That's not very funny...

so... comedy of errors that is my life...

2nd road trip with grad school friends and what happens but my second bout of car tire troubles. This was not your run-of-the-mill "oh my tire's flat" pre-trip realisation but the full-on highway-speed black smoke blow-out. it was awesome. and we've discovered that Millet doesn't have any tire repair/sales shops (despite selling rvs), so... Wetaskiwin, where the people are friendly, cars apparently cost less, and Canadian Tire does weird unnecessary things to your vehicle... but I have a new tire, again... 6 months after I replaced it. I think Goodyear fucked me the last time.

alright, so you think that'd be it, right? wrong! pull off at Airdrie to go to Cochrane and... stall... awesome. I think my car is in need of serious help. :(

but anyway, folk fest was fun, and damn hot. I don't know if it was the same here or not, but holy damn, that was too much sun and heat and not enough wind or rain (I feel better about the one day of misery at the EFMF now)

Generation Chickenhawk:

yeah sure, I'll give you a call after the movie.

Beck, I don't think I'll be able to make a movie this aft. Are we still on for a meeting this evening, though?

Futurama Movies.

(Straight to DVD, the first of which is in stores November 27th.)

Simpsons movie plays at 11:50, 12:50, 2:15, or 3:15 for daytime showings.

I'm fine with anything, but I'm thinking 12:50...
