As if he didn't have enough side projects...

Maynard James Keenan , more famously known for his projects A Perfect Circle , and TOOL has since started another side-project aptly named Puscifer . Puscifer's sound is very experimental; flirting with everything from electronic ambience, to dirty dirty cuntry ballads. I'll be honest though, I continue to be impressed. Queen B. is definetly a class track. I'll be continuing to check his shit out, and I encourage all my readers to expand their minds with my Songstar of the Year!

That shit ain't right...

There's just something so unsettling about realizing that in order to discourage your 2 year old from making a snow man in the wee hours of the morning, you tell him that the snow is too powdery, and that we'll have to wait until it's sticky - just the way snowmen like it.

The Greatest Town in the World - a mini-series - Pt.4 CONCLUSION

Image
Sorry sorry.. hiatus... these things cannot be helped! So it's finally time for the conclusion, the piece de resistance of my 4 part mini-series on this years Greatest Town in the World - Smith Falls. This delicious landmark is the reason this town is great. They have no shame. From queerly named roads to multi-tasking congregations or even it's ability to draw in the more Devout amongst us , this town has it all. A variable cornucopia of awesome, Smith Falls, rocks my socks. So ladies and gentlemen, without further adieu, I give you: The Big Beaver EATERY! This juicy little landmark is hard to miss. What with it's towering signs and statues of smiling Beavers, this is the place to be for all your beaver-loving needs. It's website encourages its visitors to "GET CURIOUS" with the Big Beaver. Don't be fooled. While this roadside attraction may be a plethora of homosexual innuendo, it's really just dedicated to the proud and noble Beaver, that is Ca

E-Artiste of the year!

Okay, so the year's almost up, so I think it's fair to put this title on this awesome person for the remainder of '07. I happened across his website via Natalie Dee.com Chris Leavins , founder of Cutewithchris.com has not only won over my viewing attention, but my heart as well. Don't let the domain fool you, this site isn't all fluffy puppies and kittens, though - I'm sure it's premise was as such as one point. Chris keeps you hooked with his witty banter and funny quips and foibles*. This saucy Canuck (yes, he's Canadian) has been casted in some more memorable *Canadian* shows as Traders, The Eleventh House, and Slings and Arrows. I highly recommend everyone check out his SITE for a good chuckle and a great way to melt your perverse, perverse brain. *There aren't any actual foibles, I just like the word

Lets hear it for Free Time and Daft Punk!

I think it would be fair to say that this is one of the more productive things two girls can do with their free time. This goes out to Feminist Catalyst because it's something I would totally make her do with me, if we could find the time...or, consequently, if our body types matched.

DISCLAIMER: This is me trying to find humour in a tragedy. Emphasis on TRAGEDY. Murder is not cool. Also, crossbows are actually pretty cool, and not all crossbow owners are D&D loving hermits, nor are they all murders - just a heads up.FOR COMEDIC PURPOSES ONLY

GREATEST SHIT EVER!

I think it's fair to say that there is NOTHING cooler than this. Though, I wonder why the crowd isn't more excited at the end... I'd have f'ing peed my pants! *Thanks to Grand Master Awesome for this little gem

Oh Canada! Ron Mueck Style

Earlier this year, I named Ron Mueck my " artist of the year ". I have recently learned, that with the help of some art collectors, The National Gallery of Canada has purchased A Girl from the Mueck collection and it will be on display at the National Gallery here in Ottawa ! You can read an accompanying article here . Needless to say I'm thrilled, and maybe even just a little faclempt - talk amongst yourselves...

The Greatest Town in the World - A Mini-Series Pt.3

Alright, alright, I realise that I've been a little absent, but ma'ma has needs too, kiddies! Anyways, continuing with our little adventure into the Smith Falls exploration of hilarity, I am reminded of an interesting tale woven to me by my friend 'K'. This is her story about a journey to Smith Falls... a journey, of Biblical Proportions... "When I was living in Brockville, I was part of a church group at my home Church. On some youth nights, we would go around Brockville praying for various areas of the town. Places like: Hospitals and schools . My best friend, boyfriend and I got REALLY into it. One Saturday when we decided to go visit the Hershey Chocolate Factory . We decided that since Smith Falls had such a bad reputation, we decided that they were in serious need of some prayer. So we gathered our wallets, as it wasn’t a far trip. and we were off to go a pray for all those poor misfits in Smith Falls. And the place we prayed…. The Beer Store . We prayed th

The Greatest Town in the World - a mini-series Pt.2

And so, in continuing in the Smith Falls adoration, I'm now moving onto Part 2 of our delicious mini-series about The Little Town that Could. Not long after driving past Poonamalie Rd. I happened across a peculiar building with a curious theme. That theme, my friends, is none other than Autoparts and Christian Fellowship. I definitely had to do a double-take when I saw this building. I couldn 't believe my eyes! But then I realised that Smith Falls probably has the most Fundamentalist Nascar Fans per capita than any other chocolatey-conservative, sheep-rearing town in all of South-Eastern Ontario. So, I decided to check out Word of Faith Fellowship on the web. It's website describes its Church as being "non-denominational" and that their goal is to "equip the saints for the work of the ministry". Basically, the long and short of it is that they're apocalypse-loving, second-coming awating Fundies thats ripe with missionaries. But what'evs -th

The Greatest Town in the World - a mini-series PT1

I haven't written for a while, and so I'm going to pull out the big guns and talk to you about the greatest town in all of Ontario. This is going to be divided into different parts until I've used up all my matieral. Enjoy. Okay so, the Greatest Town in all of Ontario is.... Smith Falls! Smith Falls. Aptly known as "The heart of the Rideau" or to it's residents and neighbouring country men as "Shit Falls" The Smithy is definetly the greatest town in Ontario. But Ren-andthensome? Pour Quoi? I mean, what does Smith Falls have that any other town doesnt? I'm glad you asked. First and foremost, it is by far the funniest town in all of The Thousand Islands area, not to mention the chocolatiest . Not is it just the Canadian home of the Hershey Factory * it's also home to some of the most hilarious landmarks of all time. The Smith Falls Landmark of the Day Belongs to: I did a little research on the word "Poonamalie". As it pertains to

Out of the mouth of babes...

The other day, as I was encouraging my son to use the potty, I was convinced that today was the day my boy would actually "make poopy" on the toilet. I sat there with him, watching him brace himself for the BM, and upon realising that something was happening he suddenly gasped and said to me: "OH! It-coming!" To which I replied: "What's coming, sweety? Poo-poo?" To which he responded with: "No, mommy. Egg."
