I've seen some echidnas (is that the plural?) in my old neighbourhood, but never was able to get a photo. I did talk to them, so I can say I've had a conversation (of sorts) with an animal weirder than most imaginary cryptids while walking home.

I had to take the dog home (for obvious reasons) and grab my phone for that photo... took a few minutes to find the bugger again. I've known it's been around for a few weeks because it's been digging all over the park on my block but hadn't seen it until today. I thought I'd share it because Crazy Aussie Animal.

Ah, the rare Icelandic pixie. Rumor has it that if you manage to catch one and snort it's faerie dust you get the most amazing high and a restraining order.

Because Björk is beautiful, inside AND out.

Brief anecdote, back in the days of the Columbia Music House "10 CDs for a penny" scam, I was a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed teen with little interest in music in general, but had recently garnered interest in Electronic music. The CMH offer came in the mail, and I noticed a couple of CDs on offer that I thought I might like, so decided to bite. Note I said I noticed "a couple of CDs," because after those couple, I was left with the dilemma of selecting 8 more for the "deal." I picked Björk's Homogenic solely because the album art looked neat.



I knew nothing of her; never even heard her name. When the album arrived, I was blown, the fuck, away. Best random purchase of my life. Been a fan ever since; I don't care how weird she gets, I'm on board.

Fast-forward a decade and some change, and I found a myriad other Icelandic artists that I fell in love with like Sigur Rós, Ruxpin, Murya, and Ólafur Arnalds, and since, Iceland has made my bucket list of places to visit. It's seems to be a beautiful country that produces beautiful people with beautiful ideas.

If you'd waited seventeen years to go outside and get some action, wouldn't you be excited too?

Edinburgh Fringe funniest joke: Lorna Rose Treen's zookeeper pun

Comedian Lorna Rose Treen's one-liner tops the public vote at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe has released their funniest jokes of the year. For my money, the winner really isn't that funny, especially compared to the runner-up. #5 is my personal favorite, though.

Well, I got some news that put me in a really good mood. My last MRI scan in January measured the cancer at 4.2 cm at its widest. The scan I had this morning measured it at 3.1 cm.

Fuck you, cancer! Fuck you, your mutant genes and fuck every single cell of yours as they multiply with a barbed dildo! HA!!!!!!!
