Stabby Flats

Stabbingest apartment block in town, NW corner of hamilton street & 13th avenue. By 'stabbingest' I mean 'people get stabbed there a lot'.

By way of trivia, I took this photo around three in the morning in the middle of the winter. The sky was lit up with a ghastly orange-brown glow that our sky seems to get every so often. I was too drunk to hold the camera steady so I plunked it on top of a mailbox and took this photo. A number of other pictures from that evening turned out as smudges, blurs, and things that I don't understand.

Well, look at you. You're here. That means you've got a personal computer and an internet connection. Is it the twenty-first century already? For more information, read about me. Or try Wikipedia.

First-time visitors will have no idea what this site is about. Neither do I. When I started keeping a weblog I went out of my way to make it cryptic and inaccessible, the notion being that only the dedicated would stick it out. This notion works for high modernist literature but not for some guy with a blog. I decided to entertain and amuse instead of frustrate and discourage. I still do not know what my site is about.

If you'd like to communicate but feel uncomfortable leaving a comment - for example, you want to tell me that I write like a much less hairy person, or that you have nothing against short people, but why do they have to flaunt it? - please email me at: palinode @ gmail . com.

If you have a question that you wish to have answered on my site, you can ask me at: askpalinode @ gmail . com. I invite you to read the Frequently Asked Questions page on the subject. Nobody ever asks me any of the FAQs, but I've heard from business leaders that people like them. And I want to be a business leader. I want it so bad.
