hmmm. can't think of a generic title. any ideas?

Me in the morning.

Well, it's hot outside and I watched all 3 Jurassic Park movies last night. I was up until 4:20am.

It wasn't worth it.

I've been thinking of how much I miss chillin' with Ms. Amika Schodie (both of them). Alas, September will come and the former Ms. Schodie is off to Toronto (York Uni) and the latter Ms. Schodie is still in London, UK.

Well, if all works out, I'll join the latter Ms. Schodie in Prague next May.

Tonight: Finish Finnish PSE Case Study.

I'm going outside now.

good dtimes.*

It's a beautiful summer day and I'm semi-tired and semi-hungover. After a wonderful dinner last night at the U of A Faculty Club (where I dined like I was a member of the bourgeosie) I went out partying. It was good dtimes*.

Started at the Billiards Club on Whyte at about 10pm-ish and ended at Hudson's at closing time. It was great. I'm tired. Big thanks to Ms. Cassie Brown for letting me party and chill with her and her urban intellectual hipster friends (There's nothing like sipping Martini's while discussing the finer points of post-modernism). ;-)

Also, a big "hej" to the Swedish women's rowing team that I was dancing with at O'Byrne's (I'm assuming they're in e-town for the Masters Games).

Sweet.

PS. The Amazing Wonderdog has a pretty interesting post on the UK's controversial shoot-to-kill policy. Check it out.

*Pronounced goou-de dimes (the "t" is silent).

random brain fart

Jurgen Gothe has the best name in radio.

I wish I had a name as cool as his.

UPDATE: Holger Petersen also has a cool name. HOLGER.

sasquatch hair was positive...

...ly old buffalo hair.

Along with my chums Colin Robertson and Jason Tobias, I went to the Sasquatch Hair press conference at the University of Alberta today (partly because we’re nerds, and partly because we all work on campus).

And yes, Dr. David Coltman announced to the world that the hair sample from the Yukon was not that of Big Foot, but was in fact old buffalo hair, at least a year old.

It was a big deal I guess, because over 20 reporters and 5 news cameras came out for the show. I guess this was big news.

At least it was entertaining.
