hi, i know, i’ve been lax as of late and i haven’t written in a while.
mea culpa, i’m sorry.
and now i’m in canada.
i spent 7 hours in/at laguardia airport today waiting for my flight to leave.
there’s no end to the fun you can have in laguardia if you have 7 hours to kill.
ok, i exaggerate. there’s a definite limit to the fun you can have in laguardia
if you have 7 hours to kill.
in fact the fun runs out after about, oh, 48 seconds.
leaving you with 6 hours, 59 minutes, 12 seconds to kill in a fun-free environment.
and now i’m in toronto, which is nice because i like toronto(and canada in general).
you know a fun fact about canada that doesn’t get reported too much in the media?
they have more natural resources than just about any other country on the planet.
it’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out over time, especially as you have
china(1 billion people)and india(around 1 billion people)with almost no natural resources.
so, if you’ll forgive my dilletantish lesson on the basics of supply and demand, canada
has a lot of natural resources at a time when the rest of the world needs natural resources.
this will probably lead to canada becoming one of the wealthiest countries on the planet(just
look at norway and their oil reserves and insanely high gdp), especially as the population of canada are healthy and relatively sane and well educated(well educated and healthy people tend
to be better at creating wealth than poorly educated and unhealthy people, just compare luxembourg
to haiti).
maybe the 21st century will end up being the pax canada century.
pax canada seems pretty appealing, actually, especially when compared
to the alternatives.
eh, i’m just rambling on after spending 7 hours in the laguardia airport/refugee camp.
in other news, i’m dj’ing in toronto on friday and montreal on saturday.
here’s the information if you want to come down for disco party time yeah woo(yes, from the rudiments of supply and demand to disco party time yeah woo).

i’ve got some other dj dates coming up in austin for south-by-southwest(sxsw, for short)and
acapulco and miami(and yes, i’m looking forward to spending most of march in warm places).
i’ll post that information as it’s given to me.
and the album comes out march 31st in the wide world excluding north america, where
it comes out on april 1st.
and the album has glamorous ladies on the cover as opposed to un-glamorous me, because
i was looking at a bunch of roxy music album covers(as i have every roxy music record
on vinyl because i love roxy music and i’m a nerd and i even have a bunch of the japanese
vinyl pressings because japanese vinyl was always better than u.s vinyl)and i was inspired
to make an album cover that didn’t involve me.
and that’s it for now.
ok, bye.
