& the daughter, overdue, is needing me to get her to Taber to do her driver's test. Cold day, windswept, grey and snowy, and Taber, all of a single story at it's highest point, every shop window blacked out against the relentless summer sun, wide streets that offer no shade, a tired thrift shop with nothing of value, killing an hour while she does her test, an hour in Taber is like a week anywhere else in the world, not a single independent coffee house, the hour runs slowly through the glass and it's time to leave...
I don't know if I've ever been so glad to get out a place before, ever.

Rather like his work, brooding, atmospheric, and I admire him for generally not painting faces. The people - alien, distant, there's a tension in their action, in their turning from the painter. Brilliant.

I'd seen all the fuss and then watched this on YouTube and thought I'd check in and see if I liked it.
Watched Season 1. Now it's OK - by which I mean, well, not exactly to my taste, it seems like an Adult Swim sorta thing, which makes sense and is a lot funnier if you're up past midnight and stoned, which I'm not.
