My Toronto Includes…
I got to meet a Blogebrity last night! Thanks Rannie for the pics in the park!
Here is photojunkie’s “My Toronto Includes…” gallery. Look around his site too. I’ve said it before…it’s one of Canada’s best blogs.
And here is a preview of my headshot that will soon appear there.
Random Bits
I invented a new drink this weekend: Zero G. Its Diet Sprite Zero with Gin. None of those pesky carbs like beer!
When you are at a blender party and they have a mist rope in full sunlight, remember to get out of the mist every so often. You’re just mangnafying the UV rays on your scalp. Especially after two 4oz Banana Daquiris.
Again at the blender party, gay men seem to lose certain levels of inhibitions after four 4oz Mudslides. Picnic tables are not rimming benches.
If you are a horrible dancer, expect bitter people to laugh at you.
No matter how hard you try to get people to use the right terminology, some people will still refer to web pages as links.
Blueberries are fantastic fresh.
The stuff inside pupating moth thingies will pop with a sickly ooze when mistakedly squeezed.
The guy you just hired might actually know a hell of a lot more than you.
The Pirates of the Caribbea… oh forget it.
Hey kids! Shelly here!
So Blamb thought Superman Returns was too long. I wonder if he’s sat through POTC-DMC yet. Shiver me timbers, you could have lopped off 45 minutes of this waterlogged, barnacle encrusted clam and still had a halfway decent movie (don’t expect a pearl inside though, just irritated muscle – my ass from sitting so long). The trend this year seems to be “keep ’em in their seats!” as Hollywood seems to over-compensate for a few years of digital movies devoid of story. Be prepared to be borded by confusion as you try to remember plot points from the last movie a couple years back as instances and characters are shoved out on the plank and pushed over into the sea. Yeah I missed some bits.
Depp doesn’t dissapoint. He does grate on you a bit after a while, but he doesn’t waiver from his lurchy antics. Yeah. I know, I know for Neptune’s sake. HE’S CHANNELING KEITH RICHARDS. Got it.
The rest were… Oh why bother? This movie supposively was the top grossing opening weekend movie ever. What can I say to take that back?
2 out of 5 shells kids. Let this one pass you by like a ship in the night.
Amazing Screw On Head
Check out this pilot web episode from the artist who brought you Hellboy! If you’re a fan of steampunk, you’ll be all gooey within a minute of watching this show.
President Abraham Lincoln’s top spy is a bodyless head known only as Screw-On Head.
When arch-fiend Emperor Zombie steals an artifact that will enable him to threaten all life on Earth, the task of stopping him is assigned to Screw-on Head. Fortunately, Screw-On Head is not alone on this perilous quest. He is aided by his multitalented manservant, Mr. Groin, and by his talking canine cohort, Mr. Dog.
It has a monkey wearing a crown shooting a machine gun. Please enjoy responsibly!
Thanks Dom!
29° In My Cube
Billowy breezes met me as I walked into the lobby of my office. A blast of cool air pummeled my near-sunburnt scalp during my ride up to the 5th floor.
Then the doors of the elevator open to hell.
The AC konked out some time over the weekend and baby, it’s hot in my cube right now, on this, the hottest day of the year so far. The fax and graphics server are running (so far) and are creating a nice pocket of heat that the 4 of us have to bathe in. Thank god for Costco’s sale on Right Guard. Four fans are pushing air around like Britney Spears shuffling a baby in her lap, driving away from the paparazzi. I can hear the chips in my computer getting crispy around the edges. I am Shvitzing. Like I’ve never shvitzed before.
Oh yes. Mark my word here for all to see. There will be another power outage to this fair city of ours. I predict it!!

Bored of my Ring
Actually quite the opposite. A couple days ago I reinserted my PA with much grunting and straining and no pain at all. I was surprised to see that it was able to get back in there at all after a near-year absence.
Today at work I peed on myself, my shoes, the floor. O vanity, thy name is stupid!
Survivor Weekend Campground
Funtime Pics now up for fun! Some not entirely safe for work…
The Campground played host to “Survivor Weekend” where a bunch of half clothed men take part in party games to become the last man standing. So very sexy!
Poop Cute!
