Pride sing-off surfaces on YouTube!


Coolest Development of the Week goes to the surfacing of "TORONTO PRIDE 'GREASE' singing" on YouTube!!

This wicked video was shot on Yonge St in Toronto this summer, while waiting for the Pride Parade to start. At street level, you'll see -- but mostly hear -- a group of young ladies singing their response to a lively group of young guys atop the roofs across the street.

Thanks to April and Dora's social network, Constance and I had the funnnn pleasure of being part of this awesome sing-off. You won't be able to see us, but Conk and I were standing by the chimney just left of the McDonalds sign.

UCLA authorities LAPD use taser on student

Here's video of security police officers at UCLA repeatedly using a taser weapon against a student at one of the school's libraries. Turn down the volume if you're at work or in class.

Christmas Party


Conk's work put on an enjoyable Christmas party on Saturday. Although I spent the first half of the night worrying that my dress was far too short, I had a great time. The company is quite a generous one: Return cab fare was paid, employees received gift certificates to the LCBO, there was a decent band, and the bar was open. I learnt that ceasars are also very good with gin, instead of vodka.
This was our first outing with Conk's work, kind of a big step, for me, at least.

Missing: Picture of Constance

There used to be a pretty picture of a very pretty girl, happily kept in my wallet.

It stayed there when love was young, gone, and back again.

Months ago, the picture went away.

I'll have it back now, karma permitting.
