Missilaneous

1. Writing continues, though slowly. I'm working on a relatively new scene (this is only the second version I've had it in), and it's coming along well enough, so long as I write it slowly). Still done very little for the short story competition, and even less for the poetry competition, since the novel's taking up the most time.
   
   
2. I've decided that my favourite Canadian place name is "Limping Clock Island" ("L'Horloge-Qui-Boîte") here in Quebec. Moose Factory, Ontario -- the name of an island and a town on the island -- comes a close second. We have so great names in this country, though, what with Dildo, Newfoundland, and St-Louis-de-Ha!-Ha!, Quebec. An honourable mention goes to Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump historic site, in Alberta.
   
   
3. I had a marvellous potluck at the home of friends-of-friends, though I had previously met the host. This wonderful host had the highest roof of any kitchen I've ever seen -- it must have been thirty feet high.

Limp Cock Island?

The video for "California" inspired my second musical.

I'm afraid it doesn't work in French ;)

Turns out it was named after a famous French story.

Your second video...?

By which I mean, "Your second musical...?"

I've not been swift on the uptake, the last 24 hours

Yeah, the one I was working on around 97-98. Matt's heard it. It was so depressing that I needed a side project -- a comedy -- to balance it all out. The side project, of course, took over. (You know, the trailer park one.)

...which is great, from what I've seen of it :)

While we are talking about weird French place names, I am partial to "Saint Emelie De L'Energie" myself.

PS "California" is an effing great track.

I was introduced to the oeuvre of Mylène by an ex-boyfriend. That plus my cat are pretty much all I got out of that relationship, unless you count "character building" ;)

Where is Saint Emelie de l'Energie...?
