So much for the better relations with Washington: New Canadian PM rebuffs US envoy:

Canadian Prime Minister-elect Stephen Harper has defended plans to send military ice-breakers to the Arctic in defiance of criticism from Washington.

US ambassador David Wilkins said on Wednesday that Washington opposed the plan and, like most other countries, did not recognise Canada's claims.

Mr Harper said his mandate was from the Canadian people, not Mr Wilkins.

Mr Harper's Conservatives have promised to defend Canada's northern waters from claims by the US, Russia and Denmark.

oh you already said that.
hahaha.
i only scroll halfway. just like how Marshall McLuhan used to only read only the left page of books and fill in the right side with his imagination.

YUP the same one. apparently he was Oprah's tour guide in Afrika? i'm going to see if i can sneak out of work on monday to catch that.

interesting factoid that only Taylor, Clarky and I will appreciate (from Tonight Let's Dance)

[Hot Cross is] of the first of many Level-Plane bands I really got into. Derived from members of Saetia (probably the most notable screamo band of all time), Hot Cross is on top of their game. A little known fact is that the drummer (which was also the drummer for Saetia) was one of the original members of Interpol

Is Stephen Lewis that jewish dude who's like the AIDS envoy in Africa for the United Nations or something? Am I even thinking of the same guy?

If that's the guy you're talking about, then yeah... he also took Oprah to Zambia once. And he says Condoleza Rice (how the FUCK do you spell that?) is like a celebrity in Africa.

No, seriously. Go figure.

After I finish mixing the new Red Medicine disc and illustrating the cover, then getting and making that skateboard and finding time to practice before the show, and then finishing up the twister lion poster, THEN I might get around to setting up a proper blog for this sorta thing:

In the meantime, check out the track "Just Drums" by Tapes n' Tapes. I been diggin that track for like the last 2 weeks now. It's catchy as fuck.

tee hee


oh, and I want this shirt:

with quotations on the back:
Al Capone quote: "This American system of ours, call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you will, gives each and every one of us a great opportunity if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it."

John Maynard Keynes quote: "Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone."
