irregular service to resume momentarily


So, like, my computer is no longer busted. I no longer have any real estate worries. I finally got the new Howling Hex alb (more on that soon). And my all-time favourite superhero Green Arrow is getting married tomorrow. My take on it is pretty much the same as Batman's.

How I managed to stay one year ahead of Dog the Bounty Hunter

There haven't been many times in the last year that I've been glad not to be an Entertainment Writer in Regina anymore, but this week might be one of them. Monday night, Regina hosted the Canadian Country Music Awards, and I was not there. It's not that I don't like country music (love it, in fact), or that I don't like Canadian country music (hell yeah, Terri Clark!). I just can't stand Canadian awards shows.
Meanwhile, I took my computer in this afternoon. When I called the 1-800 number attached to the warranty, I was told that they could fix it while I wait. When I showed up in person, they told to call if I didn't hear from them in a week, "...or two." Yikes. Worst of all, I packed the damn thing up in its original box, fearing that any damage to it might be attributed to not transporting it properly and thus void the warranty. When I got there, they told me they wouldn't hold on to the box, so I spent the afternoon walking around Vancouver with Scott and my big, empty computer box.
Tomorrow is new comic day, howev, so that's something to look forward to.

Montreal's Appealling

Last week was a giant bummer. My computer died, I had a real estate fear confirmed, and I generally got little sleep.
That means that things can only look up, right? Later this month, I'll be taking my first ever REAL holiday as Nicole and I venture to Montreal. I haven't been in 9 years, and I'm eager to see the city through adult eyes...If I'm adult by then.



and here's the song for your very own:
MP3: "Paris Be Mine" by the Bicycles


Saskploitation Watch: I have now received exactly ONE visit from a Regina reader (and also one from Lethbridge!), but my favourite city that has read my blog is LEIPZIG!!!

Bonus MP3 (speaking of Alberta): "Vallee of Cobras" by The Summerlad
