Flash

Flash in the Can Festival... this week. I was a judge... but didn't attend the awards. Lame.

Bought a flash for the camera. And you can see I am still learning how to use it.

Have a news flash... as I quit my job. Or at least I tried to.

lower case

finally i am angry enough to act. for a long time now i have grown to be defined by my immediate limitations. that was bad.

the client needs this to sell it...
we need testing to prove this...
what budget does that come out of?
blah blah blah

must i need to fight this hard to do the right thing? not long ago i was paid to think... but now i am paid to act. i am taking orders. do you want to super-size that interactive order mister man?

what is the answer?

go back to manhattan, the place that was wounded after i left in 1999... isn't that what a "network" is all about?

and isn't living and loving as a couple across the demands of two major metropolitan centers of north america so advanced and hip? please... isn't it?

i did it for almost two years before and survived. la guardia and taxis and paperwork. it worked then... can't it work again? i miss friends. i miss family. i miss the richness of opportunity. i miss the fucking marketing budgets.

my instincts have started yelling. some action will follow. but you might need to send flowers... as there has been a death in the family.

Hermetically Sealed

The forecast was correct. It called for more than 8 centimeters of "ice pellets", something I had never heard off until this month.

And it fell... and fell. And sealed our little part of suburbia over with a thck and hard white layer of ice by the morning. Strange... and beautiful... and a nightmare to drive in. Will winter ever lose it's grip this year?

Even More

In my ongoing experiment to make this blog almost completely devoid of any content except for snapshots of our hound... we lamely just add the bf again. And again in bed.

There is a full on war going on, the scary SARS news with a focus here in Toronto AND 5 inches of ice pellets and frozen rain over night. 500 accidents on local highways is the latest blurb from the weather channel.

I forget what good news sounds like...
