On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

So.

The "Hotumn" heat wave finally broke after the rainfall yesterday. Not happy with the news of other people losing the rooftops of their houses or apartment buildings yesterday. Just because it didn't happen to me...does that matter?

I went to National Capital FreeNet's 25 Anniversary party tonight. This week's been one of the more active for me Not Going Directly Home After Work. Good party, although I had to leave when the band started. Not a reflection on their performance, but on the accoustics of the ground floor of Ottawa City Hall.

Oh, they launched a book on the history of NCF at this party too, along with reminding us all of joint initiatives with Ottawa Community Housing, ACORN Canada, and CIRA.

So. Good show, good company to watch it with at the Fox and Feather last night. We packed the room without overcrowding it, and we enjoyed each others' company as well as food and drink. Good to see so many friendly faces in one room for an OSFS-backed event!

( If you're wondering what I thought about the first SHIELD episode in detail? )

As for network scheduling, I just realized tonight that thanks to CTV choosing to simulcast, that puts the Rick Mercer Report on CBC under direct fire when it starts up next week.

Sorry, guys, but Mercer gets priority. I'll watch SHIELD one or two nights afterward via streaming video from CTV. Because I want both shows to survive, no matter what any network boss might want to happen. I expect NCIS fen to do likewise for their show if they find they like SHIELD.

Wishing my friends in the American Union all the best of the day, and much enjoyment of many, happier returns to come!

On my friendlist this morning, there was a reminder of an Event like few others thus far in human history and its upcoming anniversary: the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo XI landing on the Moon.

We ought to do something as a group to mark the occasion.

So. Suggestions, please, and quickly!
