I biked down the Falls Road the other day and took photos of all the murals I came across, which I’ve added to the collection. Click the image below to view the whole shebang!

In other exciting news, Kate was accepted into the school of Social Work she wanted for next September, so 3 more years of edumacation for her!

We also bought a fancy new tv, and I’m hoping to buy an amp for my guitar in the next few days. And maybe a keyboard of some kind, after which I probably won’t buy another piece of electronic equipment for 3 years. That’s how it seems to work anyway. Though I’m hoping if I’m a good boy I’ll get an xBox from the tooth fairy. Might have to pick a fight on a Friday night at the Laurel Leaf to lose them, but it’ll be worth it…

I like it even better when it’s put to music.

And just when you thought Molotov Cocktails were a reasonable weapon; they’re gouging us at the pumps!

“It’s Close To Midnight And Something Evil’s Lurking In The Dark
Under The Moonlight You See A Sight That Almost Stops Your Heart
You Try To Scream But Terror Takes The Sound Before You Make It
You Start To Freeze As Horror Looks You Right Between The Eyes,
You’re Paralyzed!”

Hey Boys and Girls,
In three weeks there’s a mate of mine coming to Vancouver for 3 weeks of work at UBC. Any one got some spare time to keep him entertained in his off time??

We are made to walk through the desert to test our faith, but I still believe.

Northern Ireland went smoke free this weekend, which is a blessed day I’ve been waiting for every day since I got here. It’s hard to go from smoke free drinking holes back to ye olden emphysemic ways. Of course the regular hard core smokers have been kicking up a fuss, but it doesn’t seem to be nearly as big a deal as when Canada or the Republic of Ireland went over. Of course that’s probably because the Republic of Ireland went over. I think Wales went at the same time as us, and Scotland a few weeks ago with England still to go.

Also, James sent me the new Spinal Tap video. I haven’t actually watched it yet, but if history has told us anything it’s that Tap are great.
