SQUID!

Two nights in a row at the Playhouse!

We saw SQUID on Monday night - great show! Lots of talent, but Larissa and I agreed that they got a little repetitive and need a bit more variety - but oozing with potential.

There were a lot of hits on youtube - so search there if you want to see some live video of them.

Tapeire

Well, tonight we took advantage of the wonderful Playhouse here in Fredericton. We saw Tapeire - http://www.tapeire.com/ It was an awesome show! As an added bonus, the author of the music was also playing, Ashley MacIssaaac! A first for me - there was an electric harp on stage as well. Whee!! What a show - if you get a chance, see it!

OK - Lots-o-stuff - ready !?

1. Thanksgiving was mmm, mmm, good! Larissa cooked a wonderful meal and Lorraine and the kids came over - Steven was working :(

Here are some delicious photos of the spread:



2. Hope got her cast off (everything seemed all healed up) - and well there are no photos 'cause I didn't take any, and I figured you all have seen her without a cast on. Hmm?

3. Andre (me) did injure his calf muscle the other evening. I turned to bound up the stairs and felt a ripping in my leg - not fun. I have yet to see a professional - we figured it wasn't worth the ER wait, and I am sure they can't do much about a muscle anyway. I have a Tues. AM appointment at the Physio clinic, and procured myself some crutches. I can hobble around pretty good, but I can't put any weight on the left calf muscle. OW! (er - no photos)

4. I recently acquired a SMALL digital camera to fit in my pocket. Sometimes the DSLR is just to much to lug around. The opportunity came up after my dad went on a buying frenzy and bought more cameras than he could handle with one hand. :) It is tiny @ 3.74" x 2.18" x 1.08" (95mm x 55.5mm x 27.5mm) - for comparison a standard playing card is 88mm x 62mm - or about the same size. Here it is all by itself:

It looked lonely there, so I put it with my smallest camera, actually now it is my second smallest camera. The Olympus Verve (Feb. 2005), just barely beat out the Rollei 35 (late 1960's), to take the tiny title.


Late breaking news! I just won Canon Rebel Ti SLR on ebay for a total of $41.50 US(including shipping) - that's like $25 Canadian, isn't it? (ahh that feels good). Anyway, after I couldn't come up with any good reason for buying it, Larissa wanted to know if there was a 12 step program for camera-a-holics. I think she is going to change the e-bay password.... :(

Anyway, this is what it will look like:


Um, ok, bye.
