Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is officially apologizing for this.

Make Your Own Animal Cracker Cookies!

A friend just gave me this plus animal cookie cutters from Williams Sonoma. I know it's supposed to be for kids, but it's one of the awesomest gifts I've ever received!

foot fetish

I doubt this is a coincidence... four right feet wearing socks and runners have washed up on the shores around Vancouver and Vancouver Island in less than a year:

PLEASE END

Yesterday I saw some hipster trendwhore walking down the street trying to keep a straight face while wearing bright neon orange shutter shades. Yes, everyone is looking at you awkwardly walking down the street in a horribly uncomfortable 'everyone's judging me' insecure manner. That shit was kinda funny for a millisecond. Now that the Glow In The Dark Tour has left the city... I hope this shit does too!

bring the hate, meaty!

I've decided to become a vegetarian. Mostly because of this:

'Last November, United Nations environmental researchers released a report that everyone who cares about the environment should review. Called "Livestock's Long Shadow," this 408-page thoroughly researched scientific report indicts the consumption of chickens, pigs, and other meats, concluding that the meat industry is "one of the ... most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global" and that eating meat contributes to "problems of land degradation, climate change and air pollution, water shortage and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity."'

ps. I miss chicken wings and bacon the most.

we should leave them alone

but boy is this fascinating!

sex and the city

Honestly, I've been a fan of the show, but I certainly wasn't chomping at the bit to organize an omg like totally fun girls night out including martinis, cheap dresses, painful heels and a trip to check out this highly anticipated movie.



But like OMG IT WAS AWESOME!

I laughed, cried, laughed til I cried, and left the theatre screaming 'fuck boys, who needs em when I got my girls!'. haha

The encouragement of excessive consumerism kinda irked me a bit, but I suppose SATC has been that way from the start.

Sweet movie though. I'm definitely buying it on DVD.

new roots=p.o.r.n.

I'm not sure if I'm totally into the new Roots album, Rising Down, just yet. Usually it takes time to fully appreciate a good album. First impressions are that they seem to be delving further into the experimental acoustic art and the subject matter is pretty gloomy. The Roots have historically commented on the state of the world in their work, so I guess it makes sense for them to join the doomsday prophets.

One element that stood out for me right away was the rapper p.o.r.n. He's only featured on a couple tracks, but the verse that really stood out for me was on 'I Can't Help It':

I never said I'm ready to die, but I accept it, never said i"m ready for war, but I'm protected, I don't even know when its coming but I expect it, lost thoughts innocent hopes an now I'm left with nervous conditions, addictions, in addition to prisons that mixed in to the wrong crowd, My life is on a flight that going down, My mother had an abortion for the wrong child, With the time I felt loved, thats gone now, Thats replaced with purples rays some storm clouds, Misery love Misery, so why make friends lets make enemies, An now I got a habit thats wasn't meant for me, Now im in a marriage that wasn't meant to be, One more reason to change identity, The cars, the crime, K's, penalties.

I might even go as far as to say that p.o.r.n. has the self deprecating lyrical genius of a well known white rapper from Detroit... the tracks he chose to highlight on his myspace page leave something to be desired, but we'll see how his career progresses, if he can manage to keep his self proclaimed addictions to drugs and women in check. Interesting that The Roots would feature such an artist after tracks like 'The Water'. Perhaps it is all just for show. p.o.r.n. really seems to have talent though...
