Hey Friends,

Anyone with a creative bent might be interested in this: CBC Canada Writes. CBC is having a short fiction contest this month... they do it every year, so don't worry if you don't have anything now, aim for next year. The deadline is for Nov 1. and it's a short-story/ creative non-fiction/ poetry contest, with a $ prize and publication in Air Canada's En Route magazine.

I thought it was worth sharing...

Song of Ku

From the shadows this warrior will appear
With blades of many, taken from victims
given by friends
He slays without remorse for he has no choice

His slave Hanzo journeys with him
Guides him like a grandfather
Fights by his side like a brother
Slays with remorse but is bound by a pact

Their journey will take them to the depths of reality
Many enemies will stand in their way
Many allies will die by their side
Slaying is the only constant

Yep I think that Caribou track maybe my new cruisin' around song.

Wow, Caribou's gone in quite a different direction since the "Up In Flames" days.

Staying on the musical theme, here's one for all the Tom Waits fans out there.

Tom Waits - God's Away On Business (Cookie Monster Redux)

Well since someone predicted it is the end of the world today here goes some end of the world ramblings.

Just like a famous mangaka Go nagai said: You can't choose how you will be remembered you can only choose how you want to live your life.

That in mind I hope I would be remembered as a proud, noble and skilled xia warrior who was born in the wrong time period and forced into a body which did not match the aspirations the will had.

Also to Hannah: I think I could of loved you if I had more time.

Well looks like I'm going to get that Triumph Street Triple and ride it into the end.

I LOVE NEIL GAIMAN! Those are awesome, Matty. I think your wifey wife would quite enjoy such a gift.



In semi-related news, NPR put out a list of the Top 100 SciFi and Fantasy Books as a navigation/reader decision guide. (like a mind-map of the most awesome nerd explosion ever... )

AND, The Princess Bride cast had a reunion

AND in unrelated news: crafting gone creepy via McSweeney's.

Mostly for "I love Neil Gaiman" Lennie. Also for wifey wife.

Christmas gift ideas?
