My latest musical discovery is Po' Girl, a Canadian folk group that I think is currently based in Vancouver. They are opening for one of my favorite bands, Girlyman, on several of their US shows and Girlyman is opening for Po' Girl on several Canadian shows. Those are going to be some amazing shows!

Because I was looking for good places to play darts in Toronto, I found this extremely useful site, TorontoDarts.com.
More amusement from The Guardian and continuing with the zombie invasion thread, apparently The British Zombie Invasion, in which John, Paul and George are all zombies (Ringo is a ninja), is slated to be published in June of next year.
I've decided to read all of the World Fantasy Award Winners for Best Novel. Not all at once mind you, and not to the exclusion of everything else. Just bit by bit.

This idea came to me after reading, you guessed it, an article on The Guardian (via![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
