Return from Ruralopolis!

Ruralopolis sure is pretty

Ruralopolis sure is pretty

Well, as I mentioned in the previous post, I have returned from Ruralopolis. I have returned, my friends, only to find Kate had her baby when I wasn’t around to cover it, Jennifer Aniston is probably married, Dennis Farina is dead, and the Daily Dot got hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army. Fuck, that’s the last time I go on vacation! Everything falls to pieces without me.

But for those of you who’ve been following my Flickr stream, you’ll know I haven’t been idle. I’ve been dashing about from Hither, a sprawling metropolis featuring actual hitching posts, to Yawn, the megalopolis which boasts not one! but two! mini golf courses, and taking pictures all along the way and particularly of the food. So I didn’t leave Vancouver behind me completely. I wasn’t expecting much in the way of entertainment, and was not disappointed. One night we could listen to the coyotes while sitting in the hot tub sipping wine, and that was quite enough excitement for me after the year I’ve had.

Imagine, then, my astonishment to come across an amazing musical duo, deep in the heart of the northernmost reaches of the Great Sonora Desert! These guys apparently play sold-out stadium shows all over, in the big urban centres, from the Spallumcheen to Olalla, not neglecting the Rez-taurant in Ruralopolis. Enjoy their soothing sounds and sophisticated syncopations as they lay down some slick lounge grooves.

Rebuilding

Suave as hell

Y’all get that?

Now that I’m back, I’m forming an army to wreak vengeance. If you’re down with the vengeance-wreakage and look good carrying a head on a pike, please apply within.

We’re BAAAAAAAAAAACK!

me and the fairies, man. me and the fairies.

me and the fairies, man. me and the fairies.

And we will be back to our irregular posting schedule just as soon as I rid us of this heinous white space and bring back our beloved tentacles.

My jimmies, they remain serene.

It’s Not Too Late! To buy me a birthday present!

I am never, ever staying in this hotel room.

Oh sure, if you’ve got nothing to hide, why not stay in a glass bubble? I suggest those people be forced to stay in these rooms. But not glass bubbles; nobody wants to see the hair on their backs.
