Mumblings of an Old Man: January 2007
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. Mumblings of a long vacation. What, you don't like dogs? Well, that's one long blogging hiatus. I had struggled to upload an audio clip which I considered integral to what would have been my last post, a couple of weeks into December, never got it done, and now here we are. The plan is to intersperse tales of the now not-quite-distant past with reports of the present. First, the trip. What can I say about the trip? December 23, 2006 Taipei. More waiting...

Mumblings of an Old Man: Hot Fashion Moments
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2008/11/hot-fashion-moments_03.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Monday, November 03, 2008. Well, another birthday come and gone. Had lots of fun, though, and the festivities are not over. Julie got us Spamalot tickets at the NAC, and we are going this Tuesday. The night of, we went for 10 pin bowling, and then drinks afterward. Some people apparently had better things to do - and others were unintentionally left out - sorry, James! For the former group, I only have the following to offer: you look mahvelous! To use that picture. Hehe. Elliot-...

Mumblings of an Old Man: February 2008
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Friday, February 29, 2008. Well, it's Friday, and I've been wanting to link to this. Credit where due, to Pitchfork for this quote:. Crank this baby up. It's War Photographer. Posted by Freemount at 12:58 AM. Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Finally, I tried a few museum sites of War of the Worlds cover art. There have been scores of covers. But there it was - the 1960 Looking Glass Edition. And it turns out that our school librarian chose wisely, because for some reason...Wonderful...

Mumblings of an Old Man: March 2007
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Thursday, March 15, 2007. I mentioned previously that we get "special lunches" on occasion, at least those of us in the school "social club", which appears to be everybody. Wednesday we had an unagi. Eel) set. It was delicious, but just one single piece of eel! I recommend following this. Flickr set to get details on everything you see here, but there is lily bulb, namafu. Gelatinous flour-based cube), Japanese cedar buds, cod in roe, boiled eggplant, sweet potato, kamaboko.

Mumblings of an Old Man: Never shot a Pantera fan
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2008/11/been-on-bit-of-tim-minchin-kick-lately.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Monday, November 24, 2008. Never shot a Pantera fan. Been on a bit of a Tim Minchin kick lately. However, it was hard to find a clip that wouldn't require a language warning (there you go Keri, though not sure the content will make sense to a wee person in any case). Some really good bits here (each very different), though the language warning applies. (Rock 'n' Roll Nerd, in particular, is not to be missed). Some people have it worse than me. So F* *ing Rock. Rock 'n' Roll Nerd.

Mumblings of an Old Man: December 2007
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Tuesday, December 25, 2007. A GIANT thank-you to my niece, Nicole, for having me in to her work to have my sloppy dental work fixed up. It seems that the work was ok on the whole, but my random dentist had some wacky ideas about finishing it off. And perhaps lack the know-how to floss. Anyway, in for an x-ray, work by the doc and then scaling by a hygenist, all. Posted by Freemount at 1:49 PM. Friday, December 14, 2007. Root of the problem. 7) The dentist mumbles to his assistant...

Mumblings of an Old Man: Surprise Holiday
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2010/11/surprise-holiday.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. So the x-rays were a snap. 30 minutes' walk to the lab, pics, and walk back. Time to snag a coffee on the way back in. The arm sure is hurting, though. Not good. Though the painkiller/ice regimen is helping. So a lot of cute acts come out of Japan, but for my money, this is perhaps the coolest. Give it 60 seconds to let them hit their stride. This is Puffy Ami Yumi with Boogie Woogie #5. Posted by Freemount at 11:45 PM. Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Mumblings of an Old Man: What A Fool Believes
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-fool-believes.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Saturday, September 06, 2008. What A Fool Believes. Well, it's been awhile since the last update, so I'm kicking things off with my latest addiction - the finest product of Channel 101. What is Channel 101? Every month, five-minute TV shows are screened for a live audience in New York City. The audience votes to renew some shows and cancel others. The top five shows become the new "prime time" lineup; losing shows are banished forever. Posted by Freemount at 12:56 AM. Super aweso...

Mumblings of an Old Man: November 2006
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Tuesday, November 21, 2006. And not just any birthday, but the big 3-0! To steal a bit from a favourite source:. I hope you have a great year, here in Japan and elsewhere, my dear. Posted by Freemount at 10:01 AM. Niece Set To Elope! Well ok, she denies it. But in doing so she used the word "elope" and I just thought that was too quaint not to use. Ok, and this picture might be a touch old. Anyway, I hope she and Jason have fun in Vegas! At night it's quite a nice view, also.

Mumblings of an Old Man. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Well if you have any idea what this is at all, it will rock your sox. Addendum: Well, as suspected in some places online, this was a viral advert by a PR company. Details from Activision here. Posted by Freemount at 12:03 AM. I don't play the game, but I thank these guys for the ridiculous effort they put into that. Wow That was pretty damn - wow. :). Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. View my complete profile.
