Bryson, that is.
I like your style.
I’m pretty excited about picking up “A walk in the Woods” by Bill Bryson. It’s about an adventure through the Apalatian Trail.
Thanks boyfriend, for having awesome books on your shelf.
And while we’re at it, thanks for having the radio in the kitchen. Radio Two makes my mornings a wonderful entry in the Pleasure War.

I’m a bike rider. It’s a relatively new identity for me. I’d rather ride my bike than walk or take transit. I will ride 13km and back to get a pay check. I will carry picnic goods on the back of my bike. I haven’t reached hardcore status though, because I do not ride in the rain.
ANYWAY. This isn’t about me. This is about the fact that if I decided to bike to a concert, I could potentially plug my bike in to power that very concert. I could ride a few extra kilometers to power the sound that will keep me dancing all night.
I just found out on CBC Radio One that since Mr Something Something wants to “emphasize the importance of audience participation and draw attention to sustainability issues, the Toronto collective has put together Canada’s first pedal powered sound system, the SoundCycle.”
They refer to this idea as dancefloor activism. In the past I’ve heard about a group that figured out a way to harness the power of the movements that happen ON the dancefloor. Something about registering the vibrations. Anyway. Whoever they are (which I’ll try to find out later), imagine if they played a concert together?
Mr. Something Something will be making an appearance at the Spring Opening of Pedestrian Sundays. No cars allowed there!
Stay active!

I think it’s really sad that more people are willing to sign a petition to save facebook from being a paying site than are willing to sign a petition to save radio 3.
Listen to it. Love it. Sign it. Save it.

…is a song by Hannah Georgas that I absolutely love.
I’ve been listening to radio3.cbc.ca pretty much nonstop lately, and this song keeps coming up. It’s a pretty wonderful love song. Plus the tempo and tone of are just happy and lovely.

when i wake up you’re already in my head
you are the tune that keeps me right on key
Take a listen here!
