I stepped out of my girly apartment in mid-April and this is what I saw:
It always snows a few times in April/May here but it always seems like a fun surprise.
There is an unspoken rule that Calgarians follow: you must act as though this didn't happen last year, the year before that, and so on.
I think this behaviour, and a lot of human behaviour, can be explained by this fact: humans really love to complain. And if there's a shared complaint, people really bond over it.
Sun
After the snow melted I wandered around neighbourhoods I had never been in before. There were houses, houses, houses, and then there was this:
It looked really nice but it doesn't come through via the crap phone camera.
This city goes really quickly from neighbourhood to brush and back to neighbourhood. I like that.
I saw some fat geese on the frozen reservoir nearby.
Guitar
Here is a pic of my brand new guitar:
Sometimes when I'm playing it I give it a kiss because it's beautiful.
My friend Ian and I are playing 'draw and folder over' but musically. He sent a beat and I played some guitar on top and now he's adding something. It's hard.
Lesbians
I found a great blog written by a lesbian geared towards other lesbians and her posts are mostly good because she's a good story teller, but they're also good because she writes short paragraphs interspersed with images (of attractive girls, usually).
I'm trying to copy her style a bit to make this one more fun to read. Now I just need good stories.

I like what you've done here. Good topics, good discussion, good lesbian references.
Sounds like a Serge Gainsbourg song!
I've got a fever and the only cure is more "baby wants a bottle."
In a story kick-off today, the team was asking me what the "baby wants a bottle" link in my browser toolbar was. And I showed them your blog and your profile page. We had a good chuckle about your movie choices of "Kill Bill, Anne of Green Gables, etc." We took the "etc." to mean that anything in that genre you like.
Jay, I am sorry to hear about the fever.
When I was in grade four we watched the first Anne movie in 30 minute installments, one per day, in preparation for a field trip to the Anne of Green Gables ballet production. I have watched the movie and its sequel at least ten times since then.
I suggest you watch it in installments at work. I think the inspiration that Anne, Gilbert, Matthew and Marilla can provide will more than make up for the loss in productivity.
I have watched one or two of the Anne movies, when I was younger. One she may have been in a green gable, and one she may have been in Avonlea. However, I didn't watch them in installments, and never with a large group.
