Brief Easter Notes

- Before passing out last night up in Canada I saw the first five minutes of SNL and it was beyond woeful. Another CNN parody? To start the show? They aren't even trying.

- Going to church in Canada was wild, what with the BIG MASONIC EYEBALL in the stained glass glowering over me above. The sermon was some of that old time religion, ranting against democracy, abortion and same sex marriage, and then they tried to burn the church down. Very strange indeed.

- I decided to go right from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix audiobook right into The Half Blood Prince. The audiobooks just get better and better, and Jim Dale is a magnificent talent, subtle and emotive, and he captures Rowlings maturing tone perfectly.

- The Sabres are fucking awesome. 51 wins. A 6-0 thrashing, humiliation, of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The return to the kind of form that could be devastating in the playoffs. 1 more game folks and then we are in the PLAYOFFS.

- My old roommate was over for dinner and it was hilariously ironic: he's reading Ayn Rand A-Z while I am reading Che Guevarra: A Revolutionary Life. God I miss our late night discussions, especially now that his views on Star Wars are down right apostasy (a word heard today during that great sermon).

- The Sopranos was excellent, again. It covered all the bases. They are all a mess.

- Oh yeah- Happy Easter.

Now, you can't just toss out a reference to someone's Star Wars views being "apostasy" without saying more on the subject!
