Westboro Baptist Church (of the “God hates fags” fame) has recently been successfully sued for almost $11 million. The plaintiff, a father, attending the funeral of his gay son, suing for emotional distress (etc… invasion of privacy and so forth). The award is greater than the net worth of the entire ministry.
I am sure they […]

I have caught a bug.
Possibly at con_girl’s party…possibly earlier and it stayed dormant for a bit. I have reached quiet coughs.
We’ll see where it goes.

How do I rate on the 7 deadly sins?

WRATH
Who did you last get angry with?
Um…I really don’t get angry much. I suppose it may have been Helen, there were some emotionally charged moments surrounding a breakup.
What is your weapon of choice?
I really try not to use it, but sheer physical presence. If I am moved […]

I went back to Orpheus theatre last night. I have been enlisted as stage crew for the upcoming show (my role of choice for the past several shows really), only this time, I will be in costume, and seen by the audience (got to get my fix somehow). I got to see a run of […]

I have been pondering switching to Bullfrog Power. I need to look at my hydro bills for average consumption, and compare it to their price to see how much more it would cost me, but I like the idea, and want to see it supported. As a society…we have to admit that we may have […]

Apparently, this Saturday, at 5:00 PM, on parliment hill, there is a movement to try and achieve Canada’s biggest group hug. The previous record is somewhere north of 5,100 people (around there).
I might go. Why not? The overall record apparently was set in Germany, and was somewhere around 16,000 people. I have no idea […]

The sci fi channel is making a new miniseries, about a midwest waitress caught in a tornado and carried to the Outer Zone (O.Z. for short).
Yeah…a new wizard of Oz with a darker style

Trailer…

I had a blast this past weekend. I went down to Toronto for Tormenta and Northbard’s housewarming party (and though I didn’t realize it until I was in the door, mycrazyhair’s party too). It was a packed party, with lots of people I didn’t know, and a few people I did. I think I crashed […]

I have a new “must do it sometime” activity. I have always wanted to parachute, seemed like a big sometime goal.

Insane? Yeah…probably.
On another note….what is “typical” for a real estate commision? I had an agent in today to get a broad ballpark estimate for our house, and selling strategies. He seemed nice, and well […]
