It makes no sense because Thanksgiving was over a month ago, yet here we are

It's a thing in Quebec too, only it's called "Vendredi Fou" (Crazy Friday)

Don't let the woobles turn you off crochet, you'll get there in the end! If you want to try again, I'd start with something smaller/not in the round, like a scarf

Slightly more justifiable in a show where teens are hanging out at a club, less so when the cast are adults in the military living on a spaceship

Best costumes: Frankenstein

My other favourite fun fact is that no one has ever successfully built a crochet machine. *Knitting* machines have been around for centuries, but crochet? Sorry, too complicated

Apparently, studio execs wanted the producers of Star Trek: Enterprise to incorporate performances by a boy band into the show. Like, the characters would be having lunch in the mess hall and an off-brand space version of N'Sync would break into song. Rick Berman said no

Conditioner is a conspiracy against Western civilization

It comes up a lot in the sort of mystery novels I read. I always thought it was a literary exaggeration - how could there possibly be multi-day disgusting fogs that would blot out the sun! - turns out it's bad for every household to burn coal for heat in a crowded city with a maritime climate

Certainly true for minimalist composers, Steve Reich drove a taxi and Philip Glass was a plumber

It's 15,000 words long and is comprised of exactly 3 sentences

Weirdest one I ever ran across described the hero as smelling like graphite (and something else, probably lime - it's always lime). He's like a very sexy...pencil

now more than ever

I don't know, if your victim was on the small side, you could probably stuff them into a trailer. Just make sure you do it before rigor mortis sets in

And the beach the other day

And Allan Gardens itself

Anyway here's a terrible sketch I did of a planter at Allan Gardens today

Still an great city, i don't regret the time I spent here (either as a resident or a visitor). It just doesn't have to be like this

See, I used to think that, but I spent 20 years in Toronto and I think the city's dysfunction and my own were mutually self-reinforcing. Getting out broke the cycle and a bunch of what I thought were intractable psychological issues turned out to be more or less situational
