That's right, it's been six years since we loaded up the truck and moved all our worldly posessions to Toronto. The city, and indeed the whole country, continues to delight and amaze. If you want to read the whole astounding story you can start here: http://davemerrill.livejournal.com/2004/07/10/ and sort of work your way forward through the traffic jams, the lack-of-sleep inspired hallucinations, the odyssey of unpacking, the return of the rental truck to one of Buffalo's more colorful neighborhoods, and 2004-era political rants (turns out the answer to the big question was "incompetent, not evil").

Meanwhile in the modern world Mister Kitty's Stupid Comics gets namechecked as AOL's Weird News explores the awesome potentialities of Wonder Woman's new outfit-http://tinyurl.com/298az2b - apparently it was just the thing for a slow news day.

We are going to Montreal next weekend to see SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO: RESURRECTION as part of the Fantasia festival! I got my tickets already and everything! So the question is, what's fun to do in Montreal on a Sunday afternoon? Where should we go? What should we do as we stumble around in our post-YAMATO haze? Any shops carrying ALBATOR or GOLDORAK merchandise that require our patronage?

THIS weekend, on the other hand, is Netherlands VS Spain and Liberty Village is apparently the headquarters for Netherlands fans to orange it up all over the place. So we will probably be getting the hell out of Dodge on Sunday. Probably find a flea market/antique show somewhere and root through kitschy junk, or junky kitsch.
