  • Broken Area - Episode 327 - Co to the Vid Yo
    We were low on vodka, gin and wine, so off to the LCBO!
    It was a bit rainy, indeed, it stormed like hell later on.
    I have been talking to people over Skype about our upcoming COVID19 course.
    Isabelle has been working on a couple of cool projects. Including basically a walk/driveby show, which is exceedingly clever. That’s because she’s exceedingly clever.
    We went shopping on Wednesday but didn’t record. We went pretty early as I had to go to the hospital beforehand FOR THE LAST TIME. Yup, my leg is in good shape!
    Isabelle has made us masks out of bandanas as you can see in the picture.

  • Broken Area - Episode 326 - Arrows, How Do They Work?
    Sort of in our regular routine now, although our new grocery day is Wednesday.
    There was no line up to get in the store which was great.
    Still low on flour in the store, people are weird.
    Some people don’t understand arrows. It’s really odd.
    The workers in the store seem in good spirits.
    It’s a nice day today, I might go for a longish bike ride, not sure.
    Isabelle is off cow questing today.

  • Broken Area - Episode 325 - Warp Core Breach
    Hey, another twice a week cast!
    I’m riding my bike a bit.
    Isabelle is working on her show which will be online.
    Jonathan didn’t drop in via Alexa.
    Jon’s been doing school stuff.
    We’re generally doing well.
    Isabelle once had an injury that made her fall whenever she’d laugh.
    I went shopping yesterday, and it wasn’t that bad!

  • Broken Area - Episode 324 - I Don't Want to Be A Psychopath, Don't Get Me Wrong
    We went to pick up our grocery order, so, this is a slight return to normalcy.
    I’m able to walk halfway decently.
    We had a much larger discussion of psychoneuroendocrinology than one would expect for our podcast.
    They seemed pretty organized at the grocery store.
    Didn't hit up the LCBO today, as we did that on Saturday.
    Who would have thought we’d be in the middle of a global pandemic with our little podcast…..
    Stay healthy everyone.

  • Broken Area - Episode 323 - Sim President
    This is a short one.
    My cast has been removed.
    We went for a walk around the block because I CAN WALK AROUND THE BLOCK.
    IT’S A COVID MIRACLE, I CAN WALK!!!!
    Isabelle has an idea, why not build like a Potemkin Village type of deal for Trump. So he thinks he’s giving press conferences, he thinks he’s on twitter, he thinks he’s president, but he’s not! Good idea I think.
    Isabelle has done some yard work today.
    I was able to unstick the lock to the shed with bike lube, which was Isabelle’s idea, credit where it’s due.
    We saw a few people all keeping sensible distance. This included a family walking by with a small child who insisted on wearing her father’s boots. It was pretty great.

  • Broken Area - Episode 322 - High Threadcount Masks
    We’re back.
    I yawned a lot (sorry about that).
    I’m known for sucking up all of the O2 in a room.
    Also, I whistled.
    Isabelle is still working on her show, taking it online.
    She’s also making masks.
    My cast comes off in four days, and I’m pleased with that.
    You never know what the weather will be like right now.

  • Broken Area - Episode 321 - Event Planning
    OK,, so yeah it’s Monday, not Friday or Saturday. But, seriously, who among you really knows what day it is?
    My leg is in good shape it seems, even if my cast now has gaffer tape on it.
    I wonder what is going to happen in the fall with schools/colleges/universities etc.
    There are dumb people protesting in Vancouver.
    We recorded this one in the living room, like in the old days.
    I did a Tangential Convergence with Ken tis week.
    Isabelle is preparing to take her next show online only.
    Stay healthy everyone, and don’t go anywhere you don’t have to.

  • Broken Area - Episode 320 - Improving Within Your Own Catastrophe
    Hey, it’s another COVID cast!
    Speaking of casts, my leg is healing nicely, cast comes off three weeks from yesterday.
    I’m cooking dinner again.
    Isabelle did a record breaking grocery shop.
    Three days ago seems like 10 weeks ago.
    Let’s build a wall and get Tom and Mike to pay for it.
    Jon is doing well too, expect a Jonathan Files soon.
    We’re still making dumb videos.
