Cannonballs and kettle drums, catapults and pellet guns, kiser blades and minor chords...

I think I've totally got my summer blog groove on. I'm posting every day. Last time I did that was in the summer. Guess I'm prepping myself for my vacation.

Today's lyric title is from the lead song from Danny Michel's new album Valhalla. I'm a-liking it lots. Danny's a nifty singer-songwriter based somewhere in Southern Ontario and he's worked with a lot of other cool Canadian musicians (he played guitar on Sarah Harmer's last tour). He's great to see live, so if he's in your neck of the woods, I suggest that you go. Or, go buy his new CD. It's even got a No Doubt cover song on it...


Anyhow, today was a rather crazy day at work. I'd have to say I'd file under a bad day, even though it really wasn't all that bad... However, it caused me to become so lost deep in thought on my way home that I actually missed my stop. I've never really missed my stop in my entire communiting career - which is impressive since I often fall asleep on the subway. Today, I wasn't sleeping, I was just thinking. Then I noticed that the train is above ground at the Bloor Viaduct, which is not part of my route home.



So, after I'm too stunned to hop off at Broadview, I get off at Chester station to turn around. I decided that since I'd gone all the way there, I might as well walk around Greektown for a bit. So, after my brief walk, I turned around and made my way home without missing any more stops.

So here's hoping that tomorrow is a better day and that I don't miss any more stops!

Countdown Update: 2 more days of classes

ps Maybe my current blogging mojo is a result of the fact that I enjoy updating my countdown to the end of classes.

Countdowns can be VERY motivating!
I love the picture comment. Plus the fact that you had the wherewithall to take a picture upon realising you missed your stop.

Sometimes I intentionally get lost in the city. Just to see if I can find my way back. If I don't, even more fun.

I love Greektown! Hope that you had a good time. The weather was great at least.
