Crookedleg's Hall

I must admit, I feel pretty ashamed of myself for misspelling my own cat's name. I hesitated - I wrote Odin first... and then Oden... and then both of them together, so I could examine them side by side. I waited for that twinge of 'right,' trusting to a sense of spelling that has strangely declined over the years (I considered googling it... I was too lazy). I chose wrong. 

All hail Odin, then. And check out my brother's new blog: Crookedleg's Hall. Call me crazy, but if he works at it, I think there's market potential there. There are enough viking-fiending, fantasy-dreaming metal heads (okay, me too) looking for another reason to choose e-lives over real lives. Hit the WoW market Dan, hit them hard.

In his first post, my brother has linked a wonderful animated video. It's inspired me to link this sweet gem (which declines at the very end, but stays strong until then), and to urge you all, once again, to watch Chinese Translation (beautiful).

CBC's inspired me to link this. It's been determined that the 6th foot found on a B.C. shoreline was, in fact, a hoax (making the first 5 feet no less creepy). The coroners service feels that foot-hoaxes waste "valuable investigative time and resources." I'm sure that's true - especially when it took "the coroners service, a forensic pathologist and an anthropologist" to determine that "a skeletonized animal paw was inserted into the shoe with a sock and packed with dried seaweed." I guess that might hard to call, without a second opinion.

Personally, I'm just happy we're not onto the 6th Epochal Era, while I'm still settling into the 5th.

It will be strange to return to Ontario, where toxic waste and biohazards wash up on shore, but no feet.

Lastly, another bit of breaking CBC news.
