The CBC had better get their heads out of their asses--

-or else I am going to start getting right pissed. The way they were talking on The National tonight you would think the Conservatives had already won Ontario, the West and most of rural British Columbia! Not to mention a handful of East Coast ridings! If things keep going like this the NDP had better buy some pretty serious attack ads against the conservatives.Or a small television network--- what are the Aspers up to these days?

Jack Layton, New Democrat leader- should shave off that mustache and be seen actually sleeping with his hot and real-politik Asian wife so voters will think he has some sort of life outside of screaming in scrums in the halls of Parliament. If he can't pull this one together we're in for a long 5 years of bland Liberal majority government or an even worse 5 years of Stephen Harper trying to keep his MP's out of their pages' pants and/ or jail.

Not saying Layton would win the election- but the NDP would make a great partner in a minority government.

And they're off!!

My morning television viewing got off to a bad foot as I watched Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin walk down Sussex Drive in Ottawa to the home of Lieutenant Governor Adrienne Clarkson to dissolve Parliament and call a General Election for June 28.

India's Congress chooses Singh as PM: "excessive euphoria "

I can't think of a more tragic mis-step in democracy than the leader of a parliamentary party not becoming Prime Minister because of some heckling by the minority members of the government!

That does it-

I'm shutting down all of my internet dating accounts! I'm simply NOT going to pay to meet the people that seem to want to meet me!

It's been amusing to read these people's profiles but there seems to be no one new posting. It's all a blur- some of these people have the same posting on Tickle, Match.com, the Onion personals!! everywhere!

And everytime I try to sneak my email address into my profile either no one gets up the nerve to email me (even though we've winked or flirted back and forth 6 times!) or their too stupid to clue in to what the address is!

I'll have to post some excerpts of these women's profiles- it could make for a very interesting version of those daily affirmation books you see at Multimags.

Dancing at Circus

There will be much partying with my friend Tammy et al at Circus our DJ Nivoc is playing and it was irresistible last Friday.

I'm trying to figure out how to load photos onto this thing so give me a short time to figure this out...

A bit of Melancholy

**short IM with someone I'm dating**
Tenacious J: we have the most bizarre IM conversations...
I'm flying to the moon & back: what makes you say that?
Tenacious J: they are way more bizarre than our actual conversations
I'm flying to the moon & back: we don't talk much when we're together
Tenacious J: how does that make you feel?
I'm flying to the moon & back: LOL I think we're too busy groping each other
Tenacious J: :) no, seriously
I'm flying to the moon & back: I'm not good talking about my feelings :)
Tenacious J: I am when I want to...

God- suddenly I'm depressed...

Feel the Beat

There's nothing better than watching beautiful people dancing except dancing with the beautiful people. Tammy, Stephan and I had a wicked night at Circus with DJ Nivoc, except I smoked too much -got tired around 8 AM and lost the beat.

Too many single guys at Circus- had way more fun at Stereo last week.I also end up not talking to anyone new when I'm there--is it my lack of French? What's wrong with me- still feel out of place in that scene?

Saw the most beautiful woman- she looked like Alanis Morissette except more glamorous... she was with a Latin guy who had hair just like mine, before I got it caught. She danced with me for an hour- and I didn't even ask her name.

What is the correct social convention for that?? I don't know... dancing is one hting and flirting is another.

Dear OPTIMUSCRIME.COM

Have I been living in a cave and not giving a flying fuck? "Death From Above 1979"? Does that imply a bunch of 25 year olds got together and have an album called...wait for it- "You're a Woman..."?

Tragic.

Must be a Slow News Day

Got picked up by Wonkette this morning and I'm glad I don't host the blog myself because I think my server would just die in a horrible blue flame of internet traffic... as it is I am waiting for my flickr account to lock up, any second now....

...now...

-also- adding Julia Bonk to the Bliss has altered the traffic to this site in some strange and subtle ways. My Lohan readers have been far outstripped by the German and French fans of Ms. Bonk- and they don't tack on "nude" or "porn" to the end of their search phrases...yet. I am going to attempt to interview our young Ms. Bonk via IM at some point.

First step- see if she speaks/reads/writes English.

"You like me, you really like me..."

Dates on my blog...

In case you were wondering, I choose the day, date format so I would know which day of the week it was.

Today should be Sunday..I'll hit post and find out...

Kind of a bizarre life

When people write you emails like this:

"Hey! What are you doing tonight at around 4 am? "

-but you're already out and you don't get home to see the email until 9 PM, two days later- and wonder which day they meant...or...

"Let me know when you want to pick up your shoes (note- yes, I forgot them somewhere again...)...how are you feeling today?? I am a mess! SOOO tired and sketchy...hopefully will feel a bit better later to clean the place up..."

I found half an E in my wallet. I told my roommate when she got home from work of this good fortune; she inquired, "Did you do it?"

You can wake up on any weekend at 9 AM and know where to go to party. Right then.

Random people are calling me for tickets to clubs I don't even go to.

People laugh when I say I need a vacation--so do I.

Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky at World Social Forum 2003.

Noam Chomsky is featured on the main page of Wikipedia today. I saw him speak at Concordia in the mid-nineties and his views on how western media was self-censoring opened my eyes to a number of things.

His criticism that US meduia was being more unflinchingly supportive of the Israeli government than even the Israeli press drew the ire of the Jewish students in the crowd...

NAMES & FACES (washingtonpost.com)

NAMES & FACES (washingtonpost.com)

"Simon Doonan, creative director for Barneys New York, is not amused that tonight's debut of Jennifer Lopez's fashion line as part of New York fashion week is the hardest ticket to nab. 'We've only ourselves to blame because we've given celebrities these deranged feelings of omnipotence,' he said. 'She'll be doing brain surgery next.'"

And I'm sure Simon was equally disturbed when Arnie was elected Governor of California...sure....

Sandra Bullock donates $1M for tsunami relief

See these are the kind of things that justify my weekness for a good Sandra Bullock vehicle. She's so nice! And SOOO average in that "what-holywood-thinks-is-the-girl-next-door" kind of way.

Oh- and I'd also like to point you to fellow blogger and my fave suicide girl, Aria. Her photosets kind of represent the flip side of all this: hot, tatooed 20 year olds


and Sandra Bullock...

OK- how long do you wait for an email before it is never coming?

A day, two days? Will a waited for email never arrive, much like a watched pot that will never boil?



Related note- how long does a friendster message take to get?

Better stick to the phone...or MSN...


As Zippy The Pinhead would say,"I'm in too much of a hurry for instant gratification!"

And another episode of "Gravity Kills"

Some poor 9 year old girl has tragically died whilst skiing.

Well, it wasn't the skiing part that killed her, really- it was the sudden stopping against an immovable object. And since the news wires all mention a lack of helmet being a contributing factor, I can assume it was a head-blunt-trauma injury that got her, rather than a branch-soft organ-piercing internal bleeding kind of death.


Why stories like this continue to make the news is beyond me- skiing is a rather hazardous activity involving:

1. speed
2. gravity
3. a slippery surface, or two if you waxed your skis properly
4. nature in general- specifically- sheer drops and various rocks and trees

How this can be considered a "safe" sport by parents is beyond me, but I guess it beats keeping your kids indoors all winter reading and doing calisthenics.
