There are a few large windows at the front of my house and I've had several bird strikes. I don't want to harm my little feathered neighbours so I'm trying these decals: they stick on your window and reflect UV light, so while we can barely see them they're quite visible to most birds.

It's sunny and wonderful out today and I really want to get outside. But this shitty cold is still lingering, so the old guy will chill out this afternoon.

Really glad I put this film on the sunny side of the house, I get these wonderful coloured patterns moving around all the time.

The tribute to The Last Waltz by The Band & friends last night at the Marquee was fantastic. So much skill, so many guests from the Halifax music scene, so much joy, so much love for the songs and original performance. We didn't get all the songs but we got a great sampling of the original concert.

I've always been a fan of Guillermo del Toro's films. Frankenstein is no exception; it's gorgeous and gory and moving. Jacob Elordi gives an amazing physical performance.

This is an actual tweet I just screenshotted from the US Department of Homeland Security account. It's shocking how official American government channels are being used for scapegoating, fear mongering, and othering. I don't think I've ever seen propaganda this hateful from a western government.

I just realized that the (near annual) recreation of The Last Waltz, the final concert by The Band (made into a film by Martin Scorsese), is happening at the Marquee this Saturday night. I'm not usually a big cover band guy, but I'm going to this. 2037gottingen.ca/2037_events/... #HaliSky

I finally got around to watching Alien: Earth. It's pretty good. I can see why some fans of the franchise don't like it but I think new approaches keep things interesting. There are story problems for sure, but it's engaging and violent. Humans are, as always, the worst monsters.

When you're over 50, getting your bloodwork results back and having every result within normal ranges feels like a big win.

My front porch had old, nasty carpet: I'm not sure why anyone would use that in this part of Canada with so much slush and salt on our boots in winter. So I ripped it up and replaced it with interlocked vinyl flooring.

My 11yo convinced me to try this breakfast sandwich he came up with: pizza pepperoni between two warmed (but not toasted) Eggo frozen waffles. He may deserve punishment.
