Where to start this week has flown by – so fast that I’m already talking about it in the past tense – work has a way of doing that – all future-looking & no current-relaxing. Things change so quick here – New pages next week & I’m sadded because we had a grat time hosting them for lunch in our humble OLIP HQ on Tuesday afternoon & I’ll miss Alex & Michael bigtime from my morning rituals (see photo1). Big changes also mean big people changes, too - new PAships get handed out to eager governmental trick-o-treaters – it’s very had to stay on top of the constant information overload…..as I retreat to blogville & vent – ahh boo.
So Spoon was amazing, as I dutifully expected – running into MC & Jeff was a double-header of good luck & good fortune. Jeff is headed off to Japan next week – So Oh!The Pretty Things news will have to wait….Tho, I am tearing through that EPK, boi – beware of snarky brutally honest comments ahead.
The MC meet was long overdue, too – I had planned to meet her for the Luke Doucet CD Release awhile back but was clobbered by the mucus massacre of October, 2005. Hopefully we get a rowdy rock’n’roll girls night in the works soon-ish before the frost sets in & Geetha pops.
I can’t complain (yet) about the weather in TO, tho…The trees are so beautiful & I take my slow-ass time every bathroom break here in QP’s west wing….it overlooks the gorgeous architecture, nostalgia-filled campus of UofT memories waft into the sterilized marble-lined walls. Hopefully my colleague, Ana, & I will get a shot to give a bit back & at least to a job fair…
I take all these Autumn lucky breaks & perks (so many receptions, so little time…) as a sign that I am on the road to rehabilitation, as I push out painful morning memories of me getting woozy wit it while doing my workout for the first time in a week….Thankfully, Behrouz reminds me that you can’t have your muscles atrophy in a week…a fact that I hope will be countered once science investigates the double whammy of bite-sized Hallowe’en candy & nasty colds on the cardiovascular system.
In more relevant health news, I got a chance to get a couple of digs in on the OHIP system delistings & taxes while writing a statement vying to get a controversial prostate cancer exam included in our coverage. Brockovitch-ville here I come!
I should get back to work-ish, have already ordered the Beau (who was amazing at Spoon & wittily reparteed with an obnoxious Chatty Indie-Cathy behind us, after hearing fo rhte umpteenth time that she LOOOVED this Spoon song more emphatically than the last, he turned & cheerily asked “Hey, do you LOVE this song?
A musical highlight is Mary Timony – need to research more on this opening-act winnah.
Peace
