outta here

sorry for the lack of posting this week, have been on vacation and my brain has checked out. heading up to the cottage tomorrow with no internet but we'll totally make out when i get back - here's the theme song.

the bangles - in your room

then we'll go to this bicycles show

tiger style

as threatened, i went to bocce last night and it kicked my ass. amy, conor, dan z, ryan and david rp were there. some girl was throwing up on the patio and conor took pictures of her. her friends said it was mean, but i think it's just funny, no?

amy and dan. he's a fox now


david picked up some girl

wolfman's got nards

- monster squad is out on dvd this week. i was obsessed with this movie as a kid, in large part because of my crush on rudy. it also taught me what the word virign meant. there's two rad clips here

- i wish really badly that i was at comic con right now. the annaul san diego nerd fest is in full swing, and it seems like the biggest news to come out of it so far is the return of michael on lost.

- are you as intrigued by former fatties as i am? omg blog has probably the most nauseating post i'll ever link to about the aftermath of one man's 200 pound weight loss.

- come see bocce tonight. it's at tiger bar and you can check out all the deets on facebook.

is everyone already done the seventh harry potter? i'm not. just started reading it last night and am only a few chapters in. it's actually one of the few times i've been happy to read at as moderate pace as i do cause i totally want to savour this thing. anyway, went to see OOTP on the weekend with duana. we wanted to get deathly hallows immediately after, but the line at indigo in the manulife was far too long.

pete mac gives g.o.d. props for those lines


went to mimi's on bathurst, it's a bit overrated


last week esther threw herself a bat mitzvah

monster mashup

1500 prisoners in the philippines learned the choreography to thriller in the video above. of course it's cool to watch because 1500 people doing anything choreographed usually is. but what really impresses me about this is what a creative idea it is as an activity for inmates. i'd never been impressed with dancers until i took some hip-hop classes for fun last winter with some friends. not only was it a fun way to spend an hour moving, but it left me in as good a headspace as any of the few physical things i actually love to do. does anyone know if canadian prisons have similar programs?

he's not 'rexo, just hungry

great weekend, despite having to work a lot of it. isn't this the best birthday surprise picture ever? was at the beaconsfield on saturday night. had a lot of fun, but why are people so into that place? i take issue with anywhere too crowded to walk through. anyway, don't work too hard on a monday, stop and read this stuff.

- when the iphone finally comes to canada it could lower cell phone costs for everyone.

- toronto isn't the largest facebook reigon anymore since london kicked our ass last week. read down to the comments, one guy has some insight.

- when will crocs die? maybe when your kids do.

- jezebel is still making headlines for getting their hands on faith hill's pre-photoshop redbook cover. i just watched a story about it on the today show.

true patriot love

my friend chet just posted a really freaky story about an explosion that happened outside his work today in new york. turns it was just a steam pipe, but he (and probably everyone else in hearing distance) understandably assumed it was a terrorist attack. there a lot of reasons why i'm jealous of his life in nyc, but fear of dying in a politically motivated bombing isn't one of them. i don't think i'm naive about how dangerous the world can be, but i think we all feel relatively safe in toronto and i'm totally grateful for that.
