I don't know if everyone else does this too, but whenever I hear a song I really like, I pretty much play the hell out of it for 3 weeks or a month, and then put it aside for a few years. If it's a new song from a new band, my three song rule goes into effect: if I like the first three songs I hear, I might buy the record, which means the song will be added to the regular rotation. The Arctic Monkeys (right), for instance, pass the three song rule with flying colours, whereas while Maximo Park (above) are the winners of the Best Individual Song Prize, with Apply Some Pressure, the other tunes I've heard leave me cold, so I won't buy the record, probably, and the song will get played out shortly. In about a week, as it stands. It's too bad really...I thought they might pick up the mantle of one of my all time favourites, Split Enz.

All of a sudden, we're moving back to Ontario. Suzanne got the word, and it's going to start happening. You, dear reader, are one of the first few people who have heard The Good News. We will be astride the 401 like conquering heroes before the summer, and Joy can retake her rightful place on the throne. The bluebird is on the wing, and it wouldn't be overstating the facts by saying that everything is coming up boomps-a-daisy. Here is a self-portrait of Suzanne looking happy:

She likes to take pictures of her newly cut hair. And why wouldn't she? It's beautiful. So straight, like many thousands of silky arrows, hanging down her back.
All pretty pictures of Suzanne aside, it really does appear as if we will be back East within 2 months. We've been saying stuff for ever....since we got here it seems, but now it's real. I swear I was having a heart attack the night she told me...massive change has that effect on me...and while I can't deny I was looking forward to a new season with The Incredibles, the prospect of a re-born Moon FC is even more exciting. And that's not to mention Toronto's new MLS franchise! Here's a picture of me looking happy:

The Incredibles finished the regular season with a loss, although after playing the whole game with a man down, the result could have been worse. On a positive note, I happened to bulge the onion bag for the first time this year, and while it wasn't quite on par with these guys, it was a bit of all right. Playoffs to come soon.
