witty wordsome

i'm looking for a magazine to subscribe to. more specifically, i would like a magazine that talks about music and culture and includes a sampler cd with new music on it. i found one called paste that i really like. their tag line is "signs of life in music, film, and culture." it is very artistic, smart, fun to look at and read, and covers the kinds of music and stuff that i like. i also like that it is not just about music, but also reviews films and books. the only reason i hesitate is that it is an american mag so doesn't feature much new canadian content unless they get exposure in the states as well. so i ask you, gentle readers, do you know of a similar mag that would feature more canadian content?

trimester one

we made it through the first trimester. as you can see from our ticker for the wee nipper, we are almost two weeks into our second trimester. the first was pretty awful for karen. she was sick most of the time. we are hoping it gets better.

i wrote a song in memorial of those three months. enjoy.

trimester one

one day she woke up, rolled over; everything was different
she felt it soon after - beginning and end of all the laughter
she tells me it hurts her. she'd rather be doing anything
anything, anything but this. she cannot hide or try to run away now

she wakes up, rolls over; eats crackers in hope she'll have a good day
instead she feels nauseous. i hold her, she cries i cannot take this
she tells me it hurts her. she'd rather be doing anything
anything, anything but this. she cannot hide or try to run away now

inside her miracle was taking over
a new lifeform was growing and taking over

together we'll face this. we're smiling and hoping it gets better
there's good days and bad days, but all days are happier in some ways
we'll soon be a family. we wouldn't want anything
anything, anything but this. we cannot hide or try to run away now

inside her miracle has taken over
a new lifeform is growing and taking over
inside her miracle has taken over
a new lifeform is growing and taking over

goat cheese

karen and i put an offer on a house today. wow. we are very excited. it is a semi in kingston, a new model home. you can see it here. karen wan't handling the smell of the sulfur water at our apartment very well, and we would rather be putting our money into an investment rather than rent, and there were a couple other reasons as well...so we decided to buy a house. we looked around and this one was the nicest we saw in our price range, what with it being new and all.
