a lot of you hate dartmouth, are afraid of dartmouth or think dartmouth is dumb and boring. i don't. i've been a fan, albeit not a frequent visitor of halifax's twin city. i like to watch dartmouth from the ferry, and not just because it's funny to see it get father and farther away from me. there's nothing (or almost nothing) wrong with dartmouth. i wouldn't want to live there, but it's a great place to visit-- kind of like toronto but on the other side of exciting. dartmouth has a slower pace, some awesome stores, and if you get deep enough in you can forget you're in the city. the dartmouth i'm familiar with is the dartmouth near the ferry: fisher's stationary, the waterfront, the alderney gate library, value village, salvation army. this is good enough. this is my dartmouth perspective. so maven and i spent a few hours there today. scored a couple of decent shirts, a DC adaptor for the casio (which didn't fucking work), a mug, three pens and some vinyl lettering at fisher's. maven found a raincoat and a pair of wristguards. boom! we chilled by the waterfront, went down by the shore for some photo ops. we got a few good ones, and we saw two otters, which was rad, as i've never seen them before. and dartmouth was swell because it wasn't loud or obnoxious like the halifax waterfront during peak tourist season, especially during buskerfest. dartmouth's waterfront was pretty but virtually vacant of peeps. dartmouth today was awesome.

Thats it, you talked me into it. The Dirty is plannin a fieldtrip to the darkside. Wih me luck!
ling: sure am. just got it from g's place when he moved. yeah, we figured that it was indeed fuct-- but that's cool. it eats thru fewer batteries than i expected. the casio's getting plenty of love lately.
scotia: i expect a full report. i hope you see some otters. you know who's the biggest dartmouth frequenter? your pal and mine, master effin' rose. our northend should invade theirs-- in the friendliest way possible.
we'll use a huge slingshot and bomb them with Bash Toulany Donairs.
eff yeah. good idea. i'm sure they'd be into that.
