  • Broken Area - Episode 209 - The Show of Damocles
    It's two hours before we go shopping, but I'm typing.  This is of course just a way to fill this thing in a bit, but, I'll probably leave this here.
    Isabelle's big end of year show is coming up.  We're pretty excited, but it has also gotten her to be quite pensive about stuff in her life.  It turns out that art affects her so deeply sometimes she has these sensory experiences, which is pretty wild.  Or, she's having a  stroke....
    The honours students in the psych program spoke at their thesis conference yesterday, and it was great.  Then we went out to dinner, and I had a disappointing steak.  This led us to talk about that, and to Isabelle's half baked 'theory' about men and steaks.  I think she needs to take my evolutionary psych class..
    next week we'll have a report on how everything went with her show.

  • Broken Area - Episode 208 - The Conductance of My Skull
    Once more I am typing this bit before we go.  
    I bet we talk about how the TV show Occupied has returned.  If we don't well, hey you pays your money and you takes your chances.
    Hey, we did talk about it!  We also just finished Babylon Berlin, which you should watch too.
    Friend of the show Rachel has now also been named a Quora top writer.  Well done!
    I talked a bit again about Quora and the kind of questions there are on there.
    I made a quip to a guy in the store.
    There was a brief power outage in the store, which I didn't record.
    Isabelle's big final project show is coming up, very cool!
    I can make Isabelle laugh by saying 'Isabelle, I almost fell'.

  • Broken Area - Episode 207 - I Don't Have The Energe To Roll My Eyes
    I'm just writing things now in order for me to have a placeholder for after we come back from shopping.
    We went to Sudbury last weekend, so maybe we'll talk about that.  Hey, you know, I could actually write all this stuff in advance, and then sort of drive the conversation in the direction of what I've pre typed!  That sounds like effort though.
    Hey, we did talk about Sudbury.  Isabelle enjoyed the play she went to and Jon and I enjoyed seeing 'Game Night'.  In fact there's a Jonathan Files review on his podcast.
    I'm back in my old office, but my coffee maker broke, so I bought a new one.
    If there was an olympic event in money spending, Jonno might medal.  
    Isabelle is getting a bit tired of her project, but that makes sense as she's in the tunnel and can see the light at the end of it.
