Because Jenny posted some Peta ads from their "I'd rather go nude than wear fur" campaing. When this rebetsy started bitching about it, Matt defended Jennifer.




Also, I love love LOVE Matt's most recent post.


I used to have this reoccurring dream that I tortured people for a living. I would cut off their feet at the ankles and then immediately cauterize them with white-hot frying pans. Then I’d wait a few hours and do it all over again a few inches higher. People consist of measurements. We are, all of us, inches from something. Inches from cracking, inches from succeeding, inches from death. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar.

I am a human roach motel. I attract roaches. Like some filthy tenement, like some piss place. I nurture them like vipers writhing in the dark, all love bites and kisses in passing. They’re out there to find, poisonous and playful.

Also, Jenny's blog should be amusing from now on, if nothing else...

I'm sick of being attacked for no reason. And I am not just referring to the comment section here. It seems that everything I say is held against me for no other reason than boredom, jealousy, hatred, the list goes on...

So, I have decided that from this point forward, everything written in this blog will be untrue. Starting now. Oh, and I really like you.

So the blog is gone again now.
Some of you probably think I left. But was I ever here to start?

blog back. Show with Ryan and Maggie of Limblifter in April. seems to be in good spirits and humour. Hopefully it'll last.

Hopefully Matt threw a dart at a map to pick the show.

And hopefully the dart landed on Kingston.

Otherwise, I don't see how I'll get to go to it.

Matt wrote:I’ve been toying with the idea of writing another book. Except that this time it will be a proper book and not a collection of short fiction thrown together and later regretted. Nor will it be about talking dogs and birds and mice. In fact, it will be rather normal in comparison. That is, if you find the life of a gigolos normal. I’m going to call it Hotel Narcotica (if I actually get off my ass and do it).


That would be excellent.

from MGB or solo?
Singles are pretty obvious

Non singles MGB: Suburbia, Flashdance II, The Rat who would be king, Giant, Running for Home, Jenni's Song.

Solo non-singles: Avalanche, We were hunting Rabbits, Song for the girl, Pledge of Allegiance, Poor Man's Grey, Blue skies over badlands, Empty Road, Ex-pats of the blue mountain symphony orchestra....


I think that's a good start.
