"You should quit," Marty said wryly.

Collie Fu

The best scene in the new Spider-Man (which is better than I was expecting) involves a fun/too brief wire fu battle, so we rewatched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for a purer fix. Every fight in that film is both gorgeous and smart, with a clear narrative threaded into the choreography.

Happy Friday.

I have lived long enough to see Faith No More's keyboard player endorsing books/authors I love. This is a good timeline, after all. #books

ME, AS OBAMA IS WHISKED PAST BY SECURITY: "Revolution: album or single version?!"

"Thanks for the million percent sales bump. Btw your movie sucked." I am in awe of this level of no-fucks-given by translator Emily Wilson.

Endorse. (And I own that version.)

Doing this twice (tonight and Saturday) in #hamont. Come sing with a real fake band. And yes: you can bring your parents to both.

#hamont folks: you don't need a two-octave range to sing live karaoke with The Approximators (for example, this coming Saturday night), but if you do have such a range, you ought to show it off.

Quick selfie from my commute.

Found my first tattoo.

I've never wanted to live inside a book more than right now.

I was able to get the printer at work to communicate with my tiny red flash drive using only grit and the power of passion and perseverance. And also a book.

Busting the embargo.

I've seen a different bunny in my neighbourhood every day this week and now feel this should be mandatory. #hamont

I am not a particularly good conversationalist, and yet I continue to have great conversations every week on my podcast - thanks to the authors who are generous with their time and thoughts, and who don't seem to mind when I throw ridiculous questions at them. thewalrus.ca/podcasts/wha...

Have never handed over an oversized donation cheque before. Finally got the chance on Saturday, thanks to The Approximators and our beloved home venue, Ooey Gooey's. If you're in #hamont, please support Speqtrum Hamilton. Every dollar supports vulnerable youth. #Pride

This is the proper way to spend Father's Day: watching a bearded guy wearing a hard hat and eye patch dump giant cages full of fish into a sorting device at the mouth of Cootes Paradise in #hamont.
