Stabbin' me with a Knife album

The Knife, y'all.

Look up SILENT SHOUT at your nearby & favorite record shop. It features some of the best songs you've come to expect from these marvelous nutcases, and a duet with Jay Jay Johanson as well.

You can thank me later.

I guess I can say I have what is commonly called "roommates problems". Not that the ones I do live with usually mean trouble; they just won't stay long enough for me to breath in between searches.

Getting to know somebody can be fun, but when it's out of necessity, it can be tedious. When I moved into this hell pit last July, I couldn't really predict that my Hydro-Québec bills would scare the shit outta me. I moved in alone at first, pretty sure I'd be able to find somebody to live with in the course of summer. Now the rent ain't cheap, but I was able to afford it... for a month or two.

I found some nice girls from Rio de Janeiro and they moved on July 26th. The younger sister wasn't supposed to stay real long but I still made them aware that the space for rent was pretty small. A tiny room. But the building being next to Parc Lafontaine and all, they still came.

The younger one started missing her boyfriend, who stayed back home. They also left quite abruptly some time in August or September, I can't honestly remember when. I only found my next roommate, a graphic designer originally from France but who has also lived in San Francisco & the UK lately, in October.

She recently started painting these huge ass cannevas, so she has to find a place with a bit more room. She's leaving on Feb. 18th.

I am leaving the place on July myself, but in the mean time, cause we know time can be a real mean mama, I absolutely can't afford paying the rent alone.

The search has begun again. Bring in them horses.
