partytime.

Thank you to all of the fine folks who came out to our small, but oh-so-distinguished Halloween party on the weekend. As your host, I felt that it was my duty and also my privilege to push the cocktail envelope, and as a result I appologize for my "absence" in the late evening. Thank you for the fine costumes, as evident in these photos, and a special thanks to Tim and Bente for filling out the guest list with such fine individuals! Thanks also for being nice to the cat.

Safe Men

A friend recently e-mailed me a song (isn't it great how you can do that?) which I immediately recognized from one of my favourite films "Safe Men", which I highly reccomend that you check out. I recently ordered the DVD from Amazon and I was really excited because this film has never been on DVD before. Of course it doesn't work on our DVD player since it is North American format. One would think that with all of the technological advances that have been made, along with an inceasingly globalized society, we could kind of come to some kind of agreement about things like electrical outlets, photocopy paper, which side of the road to drive on, and yes, dvds.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic. I have of course still managed to watch the film, which is as excellent as I remember. So for Brad, here's another song from the film. Give this a bit of time to load up - things seem to go a bit slowly over at ezarchive since they "upgraded".

Ah, the sixties!

Hare Rama Hare Krishna - Dum Maro Dum (partial)

Looks like these folks really know how to have a good time.

Mixed tape 2.

Since the old one has long since expired, here's another mix which I sent to the lovely Alison in Vancouver. This one is basically electronic weirdness, but you really have to listen to it all the way through, even if it annoys you at times... It should be up until about November 6 or so.

If you think that my taste in music doesn't completely suck, check out some of the links to mp3 blogs on the right. I've just started listing these links, but there will be more to come. these people really know their stuff and find some amazing music. They deserve major kudos.

Also, check out the kiddie foot.

Help my Fat Cat.

First, another dose of amateur music, which you can listen to or download here. I like the little quote from Bishop Desmond Tutu. You KNOW I'm gonna keep churning out this shit, just 'cause I like making it.

Secondly, we're taking care of a cat, affectionately named Løvepus (pronounced Leuvepooce), which in Norwegian means "Lioncat". He's about 14 years old, and definitely one of the sweetest cats ever. He's terrified of the outdoors which is good since we're on the fourth floor. He gets little exercise, and LOVES food more than anything. As a result, he has developed something of a weight problem, as is evident in the pictures below. So please, if you have any ideas, post them on the comments section. He's kind of got this wheezy kind of breathing, likely due to his weight.

I'm not actually worried about his health - he's fine, but it's a bit embarassing every time people come over and say "Man, that is one FAT CAT".
