HIgh points: Moldford, Moldina, little Momo, Como.

So,

I want to share with you some recent High Points.

1. I'm proud of Jill's continued success at running. She recently ran and completed a 5 mile race around a park. Also competing was Prince Harry and she beat him! We saw him walking around and felt some frisson.

2. I'm proud of my cocobro who has started expressing himself in a powerful new poetic idiom all his own. His writing is frank, earnest, a uniquely Newfoundland version of the fansome technique. I would describe it as brutal. His most powerful work so far is quoted here for posterity's sake:

"Sometimes I ejaculate onto bread and watch it go moldy. Then I pretend I have little mold children. Moldford, Moldina, little Momo, Como."

Clearly, the addition of Como to the list marks it as genius.

Here's to Como and rest of the gang!

Song of the Summer

Most years it's a hot club hit like Promiscuous Girl, Stronger or Holla Back Girl that gets voted song of the summer (as voted by me, the only vote that matters). This year though it looks like a more laid back track is gonna take the prize. Yellow Days on the new Gord Downie cd is the perfect song to sit on the deck with a cold beer to. I've been listening to it on repeat for a while now which I pretty much never do. Feel free to nominate other songs, who know's maybe I'll change my vote (not bloody likely).




Man, I wish I knew how to embed videos.

Pls Interpret.

3 things to say:

1 I found the following comment posted on CNN.com about the van der Sloot murder thing. Now, I think it has interesting misspellings:

"This is bs, but justice is due process, and this is a technike known as a "fansome". He tries to feint, to throw them off his trail, but may only succeeed in throwing them onto a trail he may not have perivosuly abtained.

"Like i say before, i beleive (based only on evidence and not culpubation for preiouv gilty attempts) him to be gilty for what he did currently, but not gilty for anythign the aroobians try to gilty him for in the past. But this, with surety, he did accomplish and deserves judgement."

2 For my birthday, a bunch of NYC Newfoundlanders went to a karaoke bar. I now think I don't like karaoke much because I suck at it, but it was still fun. You rent the room by the hour and bring your own drinks. Two people in the room next to us got catatonically drunk; one of them had to be carted out by paramedics.

3 My best birthday present was from my cocobro, who noted that his mother like my beard. My beard was indeed very long when she saw it as it hadn't been shortened for a month. I anticipate an even better gift from Jill but it hasn't arrived yet.

eye-worn-man deuce/ Spring Movie Report

Checked it matinee style yesterday. Pretty good. Pretty, pretty. Pretty good. No IM-1. (Why are they fighting? Why do they even bother to create a reason? Just let them fight!)

That's all we've seen (Nina started watching Planet Earth, BBC styles, but couldn't stand witnessing the death of animals. So . . . she's stuck to her Australia soap-opera).

We may go see Get Him To The Greek. Next week.

What's good?  What's gonna be good?
