Rumble died about a month later of a blown head gasket and warped engine head. my '83 Honda Accord originally belonged to my friend Chris and the first time I saw it I said "Chris, your car has Fangs" because it had these overly large vertical bumpers on the front and back (I learned later that most cars around the NYC area had them, this car was originally from Sussex? County). Thus, he was dubbed Fang. Fang just died of a violent Piston expulsion.

Trust me, I've had my dry spells and lamentable years too: 1) 1980: breakup with 1st boyfriend three days before, so spent it drowning sorrows with chocolate-covered-strawberries, attending Bye Bye Birdie with best friend. (actually, despite crying half the day, it was kind of fun. :) ) 2) 1981: auto accident; spent in shock in ER in Wilmington DE. 3) 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 ... sick kid. not exactly romantic. But, hey. It's my anniversary for crying out loud. And I'm not going to spend too much time defending it, but my point is: l ove happens. And when it does, in any form, it's more than worthwhile, it's great. And we want to celebrate it, and that's why we arbitrarily chose this day -- not to make people who are between or out of romantic relationships feel bad, but to celebrate the fact that we all, if we assess our lives, have at some point had SOMEONE we love, and that we are infinitely enriched for it. So show it. Send cards to your parents, friends, aunts or uncles. Make a gooey dessert or a gorgeously elegant meal. Pour a glass of wine, or other festive beverage of your choice, light a candle or two, put on some good music (none of that wretched MF stuff mind you ;) ), and celebrate life and connections. (And yes, that can be done all by yourself. Trust me, I've done it.) It's not all romance. That's just the public, commercial, pablumated (oh trace is that a word? ;) ) expression. Make up a ritual that's more meaningful to you if you don't like the red-and-pink-lace ones out there, but please don't dis love.

After all, if everyone were required to read Shakespeare before seeing his plays in their own time (unlikely: most of his audience would have been quite illiterate), they might not have been in print today. And, keep in mind, he wrote plays, not books.

Tix are available through TM, we got ours down at the local Tower. They can be bought at the door, but it's a hassle, especially with the line. People do line up for 9:30 shows, I dunno how bad the line will be for this show. I guess I should coordinate with the folks I'm going with.

I can't recommend taking mental health days in the middle of the week strongly enough. Tonight I'm going out with a bunch of friends for burgers and beer, (of course, the real celebration is 2-5 at the 9:30 club!)

Oh yeah. Mary Prankster. She/They opened for TMBG last summer. Just hope there aren't *two* terrible openers. The second band that opened for TMBG last summer was this random bar band.

Watch Canadian news, or Hockey Night in Canada -- Jean Chretien, Lucien Bouchard, or a lot of Quebecois hockey players provide good accents. If you can't get CBC or something similar (C-SPAN might be good, showing Canadian parliament, ~1/4 Quebecois), you might be able to find some sort of real audio thing on the internet.

I recall Rick Mercer paraphrasing Mr. Trudeau in one of those 2-minute long black-and-white discourses on 22 Minutes a few months back.

Most I could fault it for was blandness. (Jan 3 Fiona *g*) Personally I like the Mel Gibson Hamlet, except for disagreeing with the "in love with his mother" interpretation that was used. Yes, it's one of the major theories, but still *shrug* I'm surprised that no one's mentioned "Julius Caesar" yet - then again, I have a soft spot for that play as it's the first one my parents ever took me to see at Stratford (ON). At 9 the assassination scene was frightening - but something we found out later made things even more bizarre...The performance we saw was a dress rehearsal, and apparently one of the conspirators got a little overenthusiatic and punctured the lung of the actor playing Caesar. The poor guy hung in there until after Marc Anthony's funeral speech and then was taken to hospital. "The show must go on," indeed.
