canuck goes totally whack on irish (and some cape breton) music in preparation for st. paddy’s day so break open a guinness or maybe a murphy’s and listen while relaxing with your friends
I did a short show today entitled the above.
It was fun.

sorting mail
probably a leftover from my time at tep, I don’t really open my mail until it’s overflowing. Many of my bills are paid automatically or I periodically pay them online.
well, yesterday, it was time to go through my mail. here are some conclusions, harper’s style. There were probably about a hundred pieces of mail from mid-november until now:
- number of rebate checks from amazon.com: 1
- number of items that were important enough that I felt they should have been opened earlier: 0*
- number of apparently identical capitol one credit card offers: 6
- number of other credit card offers: 3
- number of offers for additional services from credit card companies I currently do business with: 3
- number of apparently useless tax forms from Massachusetts, which I didn’t live in for any of 2004: 1
*I should note that I’ll look through what appears to be new mail (the stuff at the top of the pile) and open things personally addressed to me or with a return address of someone I know. As such, I had already opened a wedding invitation. I also open netflix.
