I always win

born: summer 1990 died: October 24, 2007 August 1990 autumn 1990 Christmas 1991 winter 2003 you showed up not long after we did you made Hallowe'en that much more fun you kicked immeasureable amounts of raccoon butt when I was nauseous from new meds and knocked out from dimenhydrinate, I woke to find you curled up in the nook of my arm when S and I were still together, I would wake up sandwiched between the two of you you threw up the night Stephen Harper was elected mice, birds, rabbits, snakes... you were so generous with your gifts thanks for being a great pet... we love you

I just got back from seeing Tori Amos in concert at The Sony Centre with Thistle . This is the 7th or 8th time I've seen Tori live -- I have to go through some shoeboxes, find the ticket stubs, and get an exact tally. What can I say? I love you, Tori (there! I said it on my blog, instead of yelling it out during the show). "Space Dog" sent chills through my body during both of its bridges. And I loved how Pip gave us all the finger after she finished. I'll close with the refrain from the end of Hey Jupiter - The Dakota Version . These lyrics have always blown me away. Tori played it tonight as her final encore. I go from day to day I know where the cupboards are I know where the car is parked I know he isn't you
