...you use fountain pen ink in turquoise and orange.

I have to write a lot of notes at work and I love to use a fountain pen. I have a collection of them and I use lots of different colours of ink.

Recently I have settled on using turquoise and orange ink in my two favourite pens. I use Waterman South Sea Blue in one (turquoise) and Diamine Orange in the other (orange, obviously).

Does anyone else do this kind of thing?

You copy all of your Boards of Canada albums on cassette tapes so the old material is closer related to the "Old Material".

OK I ADMIT IT

when you look at a shampoo bottle you've had in your shower for the 1,000th time, see "made in canada" in small letters on the back, and peer in close to make sure it doesn't say "boards of canada".

then you do this about 5 days in a row.

guys, i think i'm losing my grip on reality here.

When I wear my BoC T-shirt every single time I go to a city. Just in case someone recognizes it.

Haha....I did that with Old Tunes Vol.2. Even took the scans of the case inserts, positioned them on a j-card template and printed it out to put inside the case. :D

Someone recently asked me what my favorite BoC track was when I had my blue BoC T-shirt. I was shocked and so happy. I said Whitewater and he told me Aquarius was his favorite track.

Great moment.
