Busy week, this last one. Much working, little writing, even less filmmaking. A poorly balanced equation, methinks.
Some highlights from the last few days:
Helping my nephew try on his very first ever set of hockey equipment in a parking lot, kneeling down to show him how to tell the right shin pad from the left. Could there possibly be a more Canadian moment? (I'll save him the embarrassment—and the need for future retribution on his own blog site—by not posting photographs.)
Noticing that working with metal is beautiful to watch. The welders at my family's shop produce waterfalls of fire that are mesmerizing. This is somebody cutting with plasma (“pure juice” as they call it 'round the shop):
Reading the trivia question printed on a Pringles chip about the number of face-off spots in a hockey rink, and thinking smugly the chip had the wrong answer (“6”) until I realized the answer was printed upside down. And only later thinking, “There was a trivia question on my chip?”
Redesigning my blog site. Again. While the last, short-lived design was nice I didn't actually like it more than the previous one. I think this latest design is a step forward. It's not quite finished yet, but good enough to set free for testing. Give me a week for tweaking, then if anything is still broken in your browser of choice let me know and I'll correct the site.
