Back at it

So - we are back from a week of vacation in N.S.

Things that happened since last posting:
visited the family
drove +4000 km
turned 30
watched the first two Freaks and Geeks DVDs
felt shame at my monolinguality
ate poutine in Quebec
listened to many, many CDs
saw some of Sackville, N.B.
drank some rum and Coke
met Elliot Pashley (age: 4 months)
bought some new drums
found an apartment
watched some Trailer Park Boys episodes


Perhaps I might post a couple of pictures here when I get a chance.



On an unrelated note, I thought this quote from a recent Jack White interview was pretty neat:

I think there's too much opportunity. In general, opportunity tends to kill creativity. I think people don't realize that. A painter goes into an art supplies store and sees all these different colours and supplies and thinks, "Oh, goody! This is going to make me a better painter." Of course it's not. It's just going to make it harder to decide what not to use and what not to do. That's what happens with a group of 20-year-old kids who walk into a studio with ProTools and a computer and they can record 400 tracks if they want to. Maybe now with the state of the music industry they'll start spending less on albums and people will go back to reality. They should put up a plaque in every studio that says, "The Beatles recorded Revolver and Sgt. Pepper on four tracks." That'll clear everyone's head.





That's it for now...
