Avert my eyes from his fingerprints.

Oh, god bless the internet.

Really, I could have had internet service two days ago but I'm dumb and therefore needed techinical assistance by two Sympatico service people.

Today, after two years of living in Toronto, I made my first confirmed [Jeff Harris] sighting. And this wasn't like Kim's random middle-aged man who kind of resembles him sighting. No. I just happened to glance to my right at a man on a bicycle and there he was. The nature beard. The widow's peak. The earth tones plaid. I laughed.

Here he is with Chris Murphy from Sloan (left). Eating cheese.

Whoever did this to the Royal Ontario Museum should be shot. Wow, what a wonderfully modern statement you are making by completely covering a traditional facade with this monstrosity (it looks even worse now, that empty space was made into a huge point that reaches into the street). I'm sure those triangular rooms are going to be so functional. I'm just a little bitter and it's probably obvious that I'm not a huge fan of modern architecture.

I picked up my Josh Ritter pictures and about 3/4 of them are blurry. Damn you camera! And they cost nearly a dollar a photo because I used fancy professional b&w film. So ultimately I spent $19 for roughly five good pictures. Also the picture of me and Josh Ritter is horribly unflattering and my eyes are closed. But this doesn't matter.

Here are the good ones (and they're not even that great, I was too far away):

The first thing you'll notice about Josh Ritter is that he never opens his eyes. Kim thought he was blind the first time we saw him. Haha.

Sam and his Wurlitzer.

Look at that arm go.

This makes me very happy.
