  1. Cinnamon, why hast thou forsaken me?! Seriously, how can one drop of something that sounds so good, like cinnamon oil, ruin an entire meal?
  2. Also, a little girl at one of our Harbourfront shows said we were better than Taylor Swift! Wait until Taylor hears...
  3. Holy crap, only 20 pages in and Bolano's 2666 may be one of favourite books ever!
  4. Anyone know of any Tibetan artifacts stolen in the late 18th century?
  5. Heck, I'm going to use you guys as my researchers, that worked so well. It'll be a game when the novel comes out to find your contributions.
  6. Apparently Portland, OR, was nearly called Boston. Came down to a coin toss btw the two women donating the land -- one from Portland, ME.
  7. Anyone know enough Chinese to offer phonetic spellings of Chinese names using these letters? SERATO or SERITO or RSEATN or HRSTOEN or ECHONR
  8. Also Pi. Found a cool search engine to search for any sequence of numbers (including anyone's birthday!): http://tinyurl.com/2lwcz
  9. Researching pirates (story about the pirate Aar and the Hon Vsct Rhode). The listings on wikipedia and urbandictionary offer quite a range.
  10. Are We Not Horses is finally available on vinyl! Only 300 numbered copies pressed. Order yours here: http://tinyurl.com/nnnnyq
  11. Spent the day yesterday at an event telling people about picking fruit in the city. www.notfarfromthetree.org
  12. 3 shows next weekend at Harbourfront in Toronto. 4pm daily on Oct 10-12 as part of HarbourKIDS festival. Love it that little kids dig us.
  13. They are also part of the Benson Recording Collective out of Albany, which is full of great music: http://www.myspace.com/b3nsonrecords
  14. Some of the best music being made today is by these guys: http://www.myspace.com/wearejeneric Buy their stuff: http://tinyurl.com/yer57jn
  15. Another milestone: felt my baby kick the first time!
  16. Part of the Kanye meme phenomenon! RT @kalli "Imma let you finish but the best version of Sexyback was the one with Rock Plaza Central."
  17. Starting work on next novel by end of the week. To fight off writer's block, might occasionally ask you for more Twitter story constraints.
  18. Second last day of the tour, our van broke 150,000 miles. That's 75k in two years. Sorry, environment.
  19. Not even sure what that means (transfats and digestion?), but it seems interestering.
  20. In Detroit, our hotel was holding Michigan's first ever green chemistry conference. 1 example is research in "enzyme interesterification."
