My imaginary girlfriend and other nonsense.

I've actually had employment this week, which has kept me mostly offline. Still hoping this might turn into a real job one day.

In the meantime, I heard a song on CBC Radio 2 Shift that needs to go on my list of "Songs about my imaginary girlfriend."

Mine All Mine (My Baby), the 5th track on Mike Plume's new album 8:30 Newfoundland. (Mr. Plume is obviously one of those artists that as a good Canadian I should have discovered long ago. I accept your lectures and recriminations.)

(Of course, CBC has now played a song by Catherine Maclellan called "Take a Break" which is about picking potatoes with cute people and another called "Saskatoon" which features the unlikely chorus "Everythin'll be better by Saskatoon" - this by Leeroy Stagger.)

I now distract you with a picture of a volcano causing lightning.

As a reminder, I will be storytelling at 92 Degrees of Love Friday and Saturday. I am still deciding exactly what story to tell. (I am intending to go Arabian Nights, but I may suddenly change my mind.)

I'm also going to take advantage of my fondness for being written on To Write Love On Her Arms on Friday.

I Walk the Line

So weird. I never noticed that Johnny Cash hums the new key before the key change that happens in every stanza of "I Walk the Line".

Holy Cute!

Why is it that everyone who gives me free holy books is terribly, terribly cute?
