Machine Love

I have to admit: I'm swooning. I feel like we were meant to be together. Our destinies are now interwined, each of us giving and taking, through joy, sorrow and laughter. I don't know how I managed to live without it in my life.

Yes, I really do feel that "Debbie", my MacBook laptop, has given my

life new meaning. I always saw myself as something of a Luddite, someone who staunchly resisted the onslaught of new technology. I secretly laughed at those who fell prey to the newest, fanciest gadgets. I refused to stop using a Walkman until the last possible second. I rolled my eyes at people who lined up in front of Future Shop for 8 hours to get the new I-Gadget... until this beautiful machine came and showed me how very, very wrong I had been all along. However, I will draw the line at joining Facebook.

That being said, I'm going to try and give this blog a new focus using all the fancy tools that I now have at my disposal; mainly posting more stuff from my sketchbook, and more pictures of finished works.

I've almost the Golden Girls that I started so many months ago; it started out as a personality quiz but I turned into a Mad-Lib instead. I'm having issues with the paper size and haven't gotten it printed yet, but I will soon. (Thanks "Debbie"!)

My rendition of Rue McLanahan (aka Blanche the slutty one)

I reprinted an expanded and improved version of my word-collage zine Modern Rainbow Action Theater!, which you can purchase from me at the bargain-basement price of 1 $.

On the music side of things, I played at the Marche Fermier Mile-End on Thursday, under a gray, rainy sky. You should check them out if you're in the neighbourhood, it's great to be able to put a face to the person who makes your food. And they're always very nice, friendly faces.

I'll be at Grumpy's this Monday night, September 13th, for the zillionth edition of Chick Pickin' Mondays. Dat's it dat's all for now, see you in the funny pages!
