I know this is supposed to be strictly for musical musings, but something has happened that I feel is big enough to deserve credence here.
I have actually used eh? in a sentence. Without prompting, and without thinking about it.
This is disturbing to me on a number of levels. One, because I never even really picked up Pittsburgh-eze, and I’ve lived there my whole life (it’s wash, not worsh), and Two, because it actually means that I am somehow becoming Canadian.
Creepy.
But, I suppose there are worse things to be – an American at this particular juncture, perhaps. I just wonder what sort of backlash I’m going to have when I leave here and move to DC…will I have to get an immigrant visa? The “former American turned Canadian” pass?
But, like I said, there are worse things, eh?

There are far worse things, such as, having a random hispanic accent underwriting words such as "successful" and "potomac." I still cant say that damn word. We love Canada.
i was once a canadian - or quebecoise, that is.
