The Tragically Hip – Wheat Kings
I listened to a lot of The Tragically Hip growing up. Not because I liked them, but because my dad did. I personally wasn’t a fan of the band until I left Saskatoon. Now I argue that Up To Here is one of the greatest Canadian Rock albums of all time. It’s also completely impossible to listen to Wheat Kings without being thrust back into warm summer nights in Saskatoon. I thought I was an isolated case, but I’m happy to see Jer afflicted with the same condition.
It doesn’t stop at The Hip either. I’ve watched a couple of jPod reruns during my recover this weekend, a show that’s particularly heavy on the CanCon. I get shivers watching the end of the first episode, kids in toques overlaid wandering around a snowy Vancouver with Stars. I’m so Canadian it hurts.
On the wisdom tooth front, I’m up to white bread and pasta and I’m looking less like Lennie Small everyday. Getting one tooth out wasn’t that hard, but I think I’ll have to hold off on getting any future teeth out until I have a girlfriend around. What’s the point of being out of commission for an entire weekend when there’s no one around to take care of you?
Not much else to update on. Work’s a little ugh right now, but it’s t-minus a month til the Christmas holiday so I should be able to make it through.
I wish I was more like Ted Mosby.
The universe is a figment of its own imagination....

Wisdom teeth blow. Did you get an abscess?

Wheat Kings is one of my favourite songs ever.
