Daily Log, Mark number number number beepy noise.

Just looking at the time as I start to write this.
It is almost 11:11, which has managed to remain a special time for me.
It's god damn true, really special sometimes. I just can't hide it.

Anyways.

For anyone interested.

I've been doing some reading for the OAR - OTTAWA ARTS REVIEW.
They just had a very cool fund raiser on Feb 13th and their new issue is hitting the Ottawa area very soon. Also note, that their content is being broadcasted globally via the world wide web at http://www.review.artsuottawa.ca/

It will be worth checking back now and again.
Part of the great literary community of Ottawa and Canada.

Yes Canada has some great stuff.

A couple of Canadian recommendations for the day. Really obvious but fun stuff.
Al Purdy - Attempt
Al Purdy - Home Made Beer
Lorna Crozier - 0
Lorna Crozier - Getting Pregnant

Both have many other great poems. If you do not at least know this two reknowned Canadian poets, then you should get off your wonderful bum (all bums are wonderful) and have a read at them. I was quietly informed yesterday (that recently) that their works are hard to find on-line, as there is a movement to keep Canadian literature in print, and out of digitalised format for now. Not sure if that's due to tradition or respect, or because poets have to sell whatever they can to increase the modest income.

Also on the lierary radar. Tobias Wolff - Awake. I had to read this to help out a friend but it turned out to be quite stunning, though simple read. Don't let the douche bag tone of the first little bit get to you. The character, well, in my opinion, is a bit of a doucebag, but an interesting one.

It also mentions having sex a few times for those of you who need more of a thrill to get you motivated *whistle* grrr ooooh. I'm getting excited just pretending to be excited... ooooh... ahhh..

Now I'm distracted.

Good reading all.
