plinth

it's kind of ironic, or perhaps just a funny coincidence, that within a week of shannon losing her camera, we lost our camera charger. she has a charger and we have a camera, and yet they're useless together.

i've been listening to cbc radio at my workstation. i'm particularly fond of cbc sonica. i was telling brendan "i don't know what sonica is, or what it means, but i like it". since then i've discovered that sonica is an "adult alternative" station. that still doesn't explain a lot to me about it's name, but i'm struck my the use of the word "adult". it's not that it came as a surprise to me that i'm an adult - i've had a career job for a decade, have a baby and own a house. but radio stations with the word "adult" in it conjure up concepts or notions in my head of this strange and baffling grown-ups i observed as a teenager with their high pants and lawn mowing. it's interesting that being an "adult" is not at all how i perceived it in my salad days. it's actually not so bad. all this said... i'm really digging being able to listen to the cbc in millhaven.
