The Perfect Comeback

Submitted entry: Have you ever had that experience? The experience of thinking of the perfect comeback long after the moment has passed. My life has been punctuated by these moments. As it turns out, these moments aren’t always about thinking up insults or twisting the knife of irony in the heart of […]

Anti-Terrorism

Submitted Entry: It’s been a while since I’ve written an entry - I think the last time might have been after my business trip to the US. It’s nice to have Sage doing nearly-daily entries because then I don’t feel terribly guilty about writing only when I’m really inspired to. Sometimes I think […]

USA…USA…USA…

Submitted entry: I found an internet terminal in a laundromat were I can pay $6/hour to write from. Hopefully this doesn’t take quite that long. And Sage, you’re not making it up. There is American air conditioning. It is wonderful. You could hang meat in this place. And you […]

Let’s flip a coin. (part 2)

Submitted entry: So don’t tell Sage, but though she thinks she got the last laugh the night I went out to see Napoleon Dynamite, it isn’t entirely the case. In fact, I think it was nothing but a good thing that I found a terrible movie to watch Sunday night. Had I chosen […]

I didn’t really have a leg to stand on.

Submitted entry: I think one of the difficulties with doing infrequent entries is that I feel obligated to have something really exciting or poignant to say because, after all, I’ve had a whole month or more to mull it over. But the truth of the matter is that mostly I don’t have anything earth-shattering […]

Goodbye, my love.

Submitted entry: Today marked what may be the last battle between two distinct and contradictory parts of my self image. What happened today? The Canadian election? Well yes, but that’s not it. Seeing Fahrenheit 9/11? Nope, though more on that later.
Nope, today we actually completed the giveaway of our one […]

Routine

Submitted entry: Out with the new technology and back in with the old. Or at least oldertechnology than I was trying before. I tried once to write anentry on the palm but while it was very portable it took forever to get myideas down. So now I’m sitting on a subway at […]

Bike

Kite, 1970. (Taken by…my dad, maybe?)

Submitted entry: My friend Jane secretly came by and took the flat tire off the bike. One day =SUDDENLY= I noticed the bike was upsidedown standing on seat and handlebars. Then Jane secretly came back another time with the tire fixed and put it back on. Then she […]

Subway Music

[Sage’s note: A subway musician. I put a coin in his violin case, then asked if I could take his photo. He hesitated for a moment, like, “You know and I know that you just paid me to take my photo,” but he nodded anyway. Oh, and never mind about the camera.] Click on […]

Wake up, Todd. It’s time to fetch some water.

Submitted entry: Watching the subway train come in. For sounds of the subway, the people, and the amazing subway musicians, click on the photo.

So I am in my usual entry rut. You know the one - I’ve probably mentioned it a dozen times in the past four years on here. […]
