Oh, I am -so- ready to join the Heartless Bitches. My one-liner is going to be "Do you wear a cup when you sit on that fence?" I wonder if they'll let me in...

I got tickets to the Do what?! arts festival on February 3rd. Yes, Gordon Down of the Tragically Hip will be reading poetry, as will a friend of a friend's, and yes, Kathy Jo (of "Yinzer in Europe" fame) will be joining me.

Thanks so much, Elizabeth, for showing me hats of meat. That combined with the bucket outside of the Lahore Halal Meat Market -- well, I'm off red meat forever, and all other meat for a long time.

Happy Birthday to my grandma. Thus making her a pig by the Chinese zodiac:

You are a splendid companion, an intellectual with a very strong need to set difficult goals and carry them out. You are sincere, tolerant, and honest but by expecting the same from others, you are incredibly naive. Your quest for material goods could be your downfall.

From "The Unemployed Philosophers Club" I must, must, must have the Virginia Woolf beanie. (Yes, to keep in my room, ha ha ha.)

Brian put up some new beautiful pictures of our happy little family. Go here and click on the first five links to the left of the frame to see them. (Trust me, they're that good.)

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Reasons why I am proud to live in Canada:
First legal same-sex marriage and
Toronto Life chose a philanthropist as its "Man of the Year," not some untrustworthy politician the way Time magazine did.

Hockey, broken ankles, literature, Canada and some humour... yeah, that's me. I still have no idea about the Marge Simpson sex stories!

I am hopelessly addicted to the stor trooper page. Here's my latest me:

I was looking for the lyrics to a song about "hockey hair," and can you believe that there are two different songs? Hockey Hair and Ice Hockey Hair. I've only heard the first one, but I think the "ice" song must be better because it's about a girl...

She's got Ice hokey hair It's instomatic and it has such flair And when the puck hits the back of the cage She feels the tingle of a quiet rage

January 4th:
Woohoo! Alternative literature @ Bella is finally up and ready to go. That's the stuff I've been working on (and not working on) for months now. Yes, I'm excited.. go have a look, okay?

What religion are you? Here's the thing, of course I'm Catholic, and even if I change religions I'll still be Catholic. (Like if I become a Canadian citizen I'll still be American.) Anyway, I took the quiz and found out that I'm actually agree 100% with Unitarian-Universalism and 95% with neo-Paganism.

Stomach bugs:
