piano concert

keysOn Friday, May 28, Jana Stuart, who also happens to be my piano teacher, is giving a concert at the Oscar Peterson hall at Loyola Campus.

It is 16$ for students and all proceeds go to select Montreal women’s shelters and to aiding survivors of domestic abuse.

I’m going to be there filming it and it’s sure to be a good show, so if anyone’s interested, please don’t be shy. Click here for more information.

and it rained….

It was Janet’s birthday so on Saturday we kidnapped her and went up to the cottage.

It was going to be May 2-4 done right. Sunshine and BBQ and The Woods. Campfires and S’mores and Fireworks. A Potato Gun, even.

And it rained. It rained and it rained. And the Potato Gun didn’t work and we forgot the birthday cake and the marshmallows and the generator ran out of gas.

And we didn’t care.

It was Dispatch’s live album and Red Red Wine, stay close to me-ee-ee, and it was playing Trivial Pursuit (but not really) and swimming in the rain in the dark and taking seventeen matches to light each firework and it was a big fire in the woodstove and blankets and more blankets and in the morning it was sauteed mushrooms and canoeing.

It’s still raining, and I think we made do.

darn lobsters

so the four remaining coms-kateers had a nice little pic-nic at the tams yesterday, with olives and candy and lots and lots of hummus.

but now we’re all bright pink and sunburnt.

that’ll teach us to stay at our computers where we belong instead of wandering out into the bright and sunny world.

that was I.
that was me.
that was the author of this blog.

you don’t say

Apparently, iMacs are the devil. According to this zany christian site, they are “based on Darwinism [may lord have mercy]. While they currently don’t advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans.”

well, that’s a shame.
