The thing I love about Danzig (who am I kidding? There are dozens of things I love about Danzig) is that every time I mishear his lyrics and think "there's no way he said something that moronic", I go and check the actual lyrics only to discover that in reality it was far more moronic.

I still unapologetically love Demolition Man and Bullock is great in it. I've harboured a bit of a crush on her ever since despite generally avoiding any movies she appears in.

That's kind of my take on her too… she seems charismatic and funny in interviews but I haven't liked a movie she was in since Speed.

Yeah, my brother-in-law lives in Banff so we're getting pretty frequent updates on the whole flood situation and all the bullshit surrounding the Stampede (he's in the hospitality industry – along with everyone else in Banff, I suppose) so it's a pretty big time of year for them too.

Mostly unrelated, but I was hiking through a nearby conservation area last weekend and part of it included a boardwalk over some swampy areas and in one of the pools of sludgy water we saw at least a dozen turtles (the little ones with the bright orange and yellow around the edge of their shells – Painted Turtles, I…

Done and done. And I mean done.

Yeah, this seems like the height of navel-gazing, but I've been turned on to some awesome music by these threads and the random nature of it is key.

Speaking of which, did anyone else get a "Blast from the Past" recently – some gimmick account linking to super-old comments with a "Do you remember saying this?"

OK, I laughed at that just now. If only I weren't so incredibly lazy I'd go find that comment and give it a like.

Broken clocks and all that

That Black Keys song always reminds me that my friends and I were going to start an all-male Go-Gos cover band called the Stop-Stops but none of us had any Go-Gos albums so we learned a bunch of Bananarama songs and called ourselves Mananarama and broke up after two rehearsals. I can't remember where I was going with…

That sucks, man. But yeah, if it wasn't a healthy situation for you you're going to be better off elsewhere – and at least it sounds like they have enough respect for you to ask you to resign rather than just firing you.

My wife is still pissed at me for revealing that as a kid I used to sing that Squeeze song "Tempted by the fruit of another" as "Scented by the toot of another" (or for added hilarity "Scented by the toot of your mother") and that's all she can hear now any time that song's on the radio.

The flaw in that logic is that every song is funnier when you replace key words with "fart".

For some reason we watched that movie dozens of times in college. No matter what we'd been watching earlier in the day, that tape was magically in the VCR (yes, I'm old) any time we got home from the bar.
