The Wackness (The complete and utter Wackness)
I’m so angry about the fact that movies are still being churned out about some guy’s quest to get laid. It makes my blood boil with rage in fact. I’m so tired of the male world view that proliferates the medium of film.
Last night I started watching “The Wackness” which is an indie (Sundance selection) [...]snowy morn
Last night it was as though there was a party in our kitchen and every rat in Toronto was invited. They were so loud they woke me up. Scampering and squeeking. I had to go look and when I turned the light on I saw one big fat mother run across the floor. But I [...]
wish I was an arctic hare
Well hello friends and families. I’m in a good mood today. Bj and I are working towards a solution for our problem. The problem of him wanting to leave here and me wanting to stay. We think we have a plan, my love and I, but I won’t announce anything until we’re certain. Thanks for [...]
1 hundred dollars
I’m so deeply enamoured with my friends’ Ian and Simone’s band $100. I have seen them many times since being here in Toronto, I saw them last sunday and will see them again this saturday. Their songs are so beautiful in fact many of them I believe are “perfect”. Simone is a great songwriter and [...]

In our apartment building across the hall the last two days I’ve been hearing a band practise. From our apartment you can mainly hear the drums. You can hear the singer enough to hear what she is singing and it’s the same song every time. “Black Velvet” by Alannah Myles. If you don’t remember that [...]

hola
Bj and I are currently watching season 2 of our favourite beloved tv show Friday Night Lights. It’s so great to be back with the gang! Back with the Dillon Panthers. Bless them. Good old Coach Taylor. Now that is not to say there are not a few highly dubious story [...]
Milk
So yesterday on Jan 1 09 Serena invited us to dinner and the movies with Bruce, Hani and Jess. They were going to see “slumdog millionaire” which I refused to see on the grounds that it looked too corny. So the beej and I went to see “Milk” instead which they had already seen. Pretty [...]
