I tried, I really did.. I spent some time tonight playing around with it.. but I just couldn’t get Shawn’s background music thing to sound like I thought it should sound :-( So we’re back to the regular music bed but I jazzed it up with a new outro thing at the end of the show!

Audio Feedback: Following the wild crazy success (yeah right!) of my plea for audio feedback last week, we’ll keep it going for another week.. Get the number from the last 60 seconds of the podcast then make that call - you could be featuring on next week’s podcast!
Quick’n'dirty cos I can’t be arsed fleshing it out for the most part…
Friday: Ben’s last day at work, and Daniel handed his notice in, so why not leave a bit early and hit the pub eh? Went to the Kingston for a few, left around 6:15 and strolled home to meet Nolene. Went to the movies to see Lucky Number Slevin. Cool movie, I’d give it 8 out of 10.. kinda funny at the beginning cos I was definitely a bit tipsy but sobered up nicely as the movie progressed. Went to Moxies for food afterwards, then came home and crashed out.
Saturday: Bit of a blah/do nothing kind of day.. wanted to get my hair cut but couldn’t till 4pm.. Did that then hit Lonsdale Quay for the wicked good chicken curry. Back downtown, home, veg, chill, then decided to grab a movie (not realising that I’d actually been to the movies the previous 3 nights in a row, obviously!). Saw Brick which was pretty cool - I’d give it 7 out of 10.. kind of film noire but set in a modern day high school. A bit quirky, a bit different, but worth a look I reckon.
Sunday: Stayed in bed for the longest time but was prompted to get up by a phone call from Mike - did I fancy coffee? Sure! Quickest shower ever, then round to Tim Hortons, which was heaving so we said fuck it and went to Dennys. Weird when I was paying too, cos they asked me to punch in the PIN for my Visa card which I’ve never been asked to do in Canada. And of course, I was using the UK card that I’m not 100% sure of the PIN for.. DOH! Paid with a different card in the end, oh the embarrassment!
Hung out with Brian in the afternoon - grabbed food at Granville Island then went for a walk along the sea wall round False Creek. Interesting talks… questions asked, some answers given, some probing, and some answers elaborated.. and mostly in one direction - I think it’s fair to say that I’ve possibly been playing my cards pretty close to my chest and maybe not being quite as clear with certain things as I maybe could be. No hassle, no drama - totally cool time hanging out and talking about stuff.. I think he probably has a better understanding now of some stuff I’ve said but maybe not fully explained.. like we say back home (kudos to Bob Hoskins): “It’s Good To Talk” :-)
