Four! Four weeks in a row now, with no trivia wins. Plus, four weeks since the trivia changed locales, and still no money for winning the regular season either. Hmph. Doc says Neal and I are still neck-&-neck with another team right now for a victory. I guess we must be doing OK every week, but just not enough to win. For these playoffs, you see, he's taking each team's six best point scores out of eight weeks. I don't expect to get anything in these playoffs now. Although, I am on a bonus song streak! The last song of the eve is always the bonus song, and it's usually quite hard to get both the artist and the track's name. However, three or four of the last four weeks (I think it's all four, but I can't remember what they all were), I've gotten it! Plus, at least twice, I've been the only person in the place to get it. Oh yeah. I'm bad. I like that people react to these bonus answers with a mix of shock and disgust. Maybe even veiled respect. I also like it when folks are happy when they don't win but still beat us. We're just two dudes! It's funny. For the record (ba-dum-ching!), the two songs that nobody else got were tunes by Cat Power and The Eagles of Death Metal.

We went looking at some trees and flowers and stuff yesterday. So many nice trees, from magnolia to peach, to lilac... too bad we haven't the slightest idea about what to do with our spacious, plain, and regular-shaped expanse of yard space. When we were at Jewell's, we saw a display of these things:
Perfect Petzzz. Basically, some of them look ridiculously lifelike. So, of course, you're tempted to pet them. C pet one, and was like, "Wow, it's really soft." Right about then, when she glanced back at it, that's when she noticed it breathing. Freaking breathing! I guess pressure on its soft little belly must set it breathing... making the belly rise and fall, and pretty realistically, too. Fucking weird. Bubbles would love them.

Speaking of Bubbles, anyone see me or Neal in any episodes of the TPB yet this year? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Bought some new tires at Canuck Tire on Saturday. Had a buy-one-get-one-at-half-price deal. They say installation is free, but it cost $39.80 before taxes for the not-free balancing. Seems high to me. But what do I know? I'm no carologist.

Still never bought a White Stripes ticket yet. Anyone think I should? I dunno how good a whole show'd be.

C and I cleaned out our building yesterday. Lots of old pieces of gyproc, squirrel debris, pieces of lumber, vinyl stuff from when the house was done, lots of crud that was there before we bought the place. It was good to finally get it all in order. Now it'll be easier for my pa to come and help fix the roof on it!

Well, I should get goin'. There's a 1-hour episode of Going Coastal/Much East/Whatever all on Joel Plaskett at 12:00. Gotta get the VCR set! And, yes, Colleen, I'm thinking of the review. I've been putting ideas together in my head as I've been listening to it. So, expect a review on Ashtray Rock and Feist's The Reminder soon.
