the canucks lost tonight. the habs lost last...
but regardless, i was given a push of confidence from the most important woman in my life, last week sometime. the songs i posted then (which i snuck to you, which i got into a lot of trouble for) are a big part of me. when we dead awaken is still a massive part of me, but sometimes you just need some change. don’t be alarmed, this isn’t anything ground breaking. life isn’t...

Mr. Mom.
So, I’m at home playing Mr. Mom. It’s interesting. It’s a little odd. It’s a little stressful if I let myself think about it for too long. What if I accidentally dunk the kid during his bath? What if I put his diaper on backward? What if I mix his formula up wrong? What if I nearly drop him on an icy patch in the driveway on the way to the car? (These by the way, are all...

Scott Pilgrim, the Olympics and record releases.
Don’t have a lot to say today. Mostly, I’m sleepy. It’s after midnight and I’ve just gotten home from a long day on the set of Scott Pilgrim, which, by the way, is going lovely. We had Hallie around for ages and I miss those days but all the other ones are pretty great too. I can’t say too much more without getting into some legal trouble but I’m pretty sure...

Surreal.
Making movies… isn’t really the business I ever meant or wanted to be a part of. And here I am, sitting in a (heated and very comfortable) trailer between when I’m needed. I’m supposed to be running lines with a PA (that’s production assistant!) or something but instead I’m online checking up on things and you know, working on my other job. The one where I sing some...

Happy Holidays, also, thoughts.
When the end of the year comes along, it always seems to bring along time for intense introspection. I’ve never been sure why people decide to introsect in public place but I guess I don’t need to understand everything. Have you ever been in a spot where you love everything happening around you, from the point where you look back and have trouble remembering whatever shitty things...

Bromosexual Behaviour
Josh and I are going on tour!! I’ve been waiting for this for ages, it feels like. I have a fancy poster (one you should be seeing EVERYWHERE soon if you live in Canada) that I’m supposed to post but it’s not in a picture format so I’m gonna have to ask my manager about that and get it posted up soon, because it’s kind of a jem.
We’re calling it the Bromosexual...

the drake hotel.
I’ve always wanted to play at the Drake. It’s an odd sort of classy venue, that is indeed a hotel but is often used as a place for musicians to play. I don’t even remember how this came up, but here it is. Starting on the first of October, I’ll be playing fourteen nights at this place, by myself, with a guitar and some lights and probably a stool. They won’t be very...
Miss you.
How do journals work? Are you supposed to be able to look back at them regularly and go, oh, shit, I can’t believe that happened to me? Because that’s not really the case here. I feel like I do that when I listen to my older music though. Not that every single song was a personal adventure of mine specifically, but they are all based on something and they were all based in certain mind...

peanuts, home, and rain.
it’s raining out. it’s december and it’s raining. christmas is soon and i still haven’t finished my shopping. i’m not sure what to grab for a few people, so what are you dudes grabbing for the people you care about? other than music, i’m not really that creative, otherwise maybe i’d bust out some glue and paper and pencils and all of that stuff, and make...
