The Read My Mind remix album by the Killers is amazing, who would have thought one pretty decent song could be spun in 10 different ways? I am boggled, albeit digging the Pet Shop Boys radio edit remix. What else is new in the world of piracy? I procured one of Dane Cook's CDs which I already listened to a few months back - "Vicious Circle" - because homeboy is the only comedian who can make me literally laugh out loud, even if I'm in public listening on my iPod.

Anyway, here's what's important.

THINGS I WILL INEVITABLY MISS ABOUT CANADA*:

- Tim Horton's bitter sludge (this may or may not include Iced Capps and Rrrroll up the Rrrrim)
- Hockey night in Canada (which I never actually watched, but boy, will I miss channel surfing past it!)
- Chapter's and it's thorough selection of Stephen King paperbacks
- Chilly summer days
- My parents (they will read this within the next week or so, so, you know)
- My cat and his jaw-cracking yawns and mutterings
- Toronto (no other city will be loved as fiercely as I love the t-dot)
- Canadian television (CBC news - I love finding out about the latest Scarborough waterpipe crisis! also Slice...oh Slice, I hardly knew thee. And Comedy I guess, how else am I supposed to watch Family Guy and South Park back to back? I ask you.)
- Canadian literature, oh wait, the more miles between myself and that bitter mire of insecurity, death, and cynicism, the better!
- The Muskoka-style restaurants of varying names (see: Turtle Jack's, Montana's, Loopy Joe's, Shoeless Mike's, and so forth) and accuracy, but all with one common goal: to look the most rustic and bear the most fake antlers.
- Zeller's, the Bay, and it's various derivatives.
- Those Canadian Tire commercials. Come on.
- TBS Superstation. Not Canadian, but still an integral part of daily life here.
- Long expanses of manurey fields, highways like twisting ribbons, the occasional moose being ridden by a mountie on his way to a beaver dam.
- Fresca! I truly hope this drink exists in China, or else I will be done for.

THINGS I WILL INEVITABLY NOT MISS ABOUT CANADA:

- Dalton McGuinty.
