What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you
(and remember, you can always e-mail me if you love or loathe anything you're about to read)...

THE PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD

I wandered by the Buskerfest going on in my neighbourhood this evening and witnessed a pair of Calgary comics named Eric and Derek who call themselves Hot Nuts and Popcorn. They were wearing underwear and bound together by a massive amount of Saran Wrap -- the kind of thing you tend to notice on the street. They asked someone from the crowd to time their Houdini-esque escape, wriggling free in under ninety seconds in a very funny but vaguely arousing bit of physical comedy. I loved how the crowd took it all in stride and applauded wildly.

As the duo wrapped up (no pun intended), I ran into Linda the librarian who was pleased to see me. I haven't been to the library in quite a while, so Linda insisted I let her buy me a beer and we ended up chatting for about an hour at one of the outdoor patio tables on Front Street. I pick on Toronto a lot but evenings like this remind me why I stay here.
