I took part in something awful today.
Remember that rat i talked about a couple blogs ago? We gassed it today. The snake just didn't wanna eat it, and no one wanted it, and i'm not a rodent person, soooo it was either keep it unloved in a tank for the rest of its life or gas it. we popped it in a plastic bag, attached it to the car muffler and turned the car on. I felt so bad. I felt awful.
It was actually a really wierd experience because someone really close to my family died from MS last week. She had been asking to be euthanized for years, but of course, it's illegal. So we had to watch her suffer, alone, in a room by herself, with visitors coming and going for years. I cried so much last week. I felt so guilty and helpless.
Killing this rat sorta made me think about mercy killing and i felt kinda sick and wierd about the whole thing.
On a brighter note, go check out the crimson syndicate . couple friends of mine, their new hip hop project, and it's mighty fine if i may say so myself.
also while yr at it, check out ion dissonance and find those tour dates and cities and come hang out with me at the shows. c'mon now, keep me company. i wanna meet peeps along the way
I just discovered how to use my webcam to take pictures and i'm being a dork with it. So this is me being happy. As I am right now. Good weekend so far, will get better me thinks.

Sitting here listening to some Lost Children of Babylon. Its raining out, my windows open. Doing some homework. Is there anything nicer than just leaning back and listening to the pretty tinkle of rain?
P.S. Don't forget to come hang out with me at the ion dissonance shows (www.myspace.com/iondissonance)

In Canada, the land of long johns and frozen snot, we do things to keep ourselves entertained that average temperature folk might not understand. We do things like walk our dogs on frozen lakes in -35 degree Celsius weather (which is MINUS 35 degrees Fahrenheit). But it keeps our spirits up, seeing how much the little (big) guy likes to gallop around like Black Beauty on the frozen water. It's really cute when he hits a pure ice patch and starts skidding and sliding. I photographed a walk my brother, his gf, and myself took last week with the dog.
This is them crawling across a rather ominous patch of ice. It's quite nerve wracking actually when you've realized you've just walked over a really crackly piece of ice. No worries though, the waters been frozen over a foot deep for about 2 months at this point.
In other news, check out these pictures from my family Oscar night. It's madness around here I tell ya. We really get into it. I printed out ballots for us to each fill out, and we made a huge buffet of goodies.
These are some vegan cookies I made. I had been looking around for vegan recipes but I found they were way too hardcore for me. Obscure ingredients I'd never heard of? Hemp flakes and what not? Fuggedaboutit. But I found these ones, for ginger cranberry oatmeal cookies that call for soymilk and no eggs. So easy, very normal, delicious little vegan cookies. P.S. I'm not vegan. Just thought I'd test out some cookies.
Yesterday I hung out with lee, we went for tea and cider and looked at trashy magazines, then shazzy became temporarily homeless so she made me hang out with her. She took me for dinner, and then we went to see a movie. Since we couldn't agree on one we decided Music and Lyrics was the best pick. Like shazzy said in her blog, this is my last Drew Barrymore movie too. She is so awful. She might be cute, she mighta been hollywoods wild child, but she's a shitty actress and she made me not really enjoy my Hugh Grant movie that I was thoroughly looking forward to.
Today I walked Leroy around my little village, no walking on the water today, it's warm out. Too scary for me. Towards the end of our walk I decided to take him to a little park since it was so nice out and didn't wanna go home right away. So we go to the park, I let him off the leash, and of course he runs through the deepest snow at the furthest corner and takes a nice long poo. And since its nice out I'm wearing my DC's instead of boots. So I try and wade my way towards the poo to pick it up and I get snow inside my shoes, which subsequently starts freezing my ankles. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why I hate winter.
You know that song by Nelly Furtado, Man Eater? My brother just started singing his own version, "She's a man eater, she's mah sista!" He thinks he's funny.
Well I have to go work out now, hopefully one day I'll shoot a set with rip-roaring abs that will make you all wince in fear. Ya. That'll be the day.
Ciao amigos.

I bought sex. Not real sex. Sex for my feet. In the form of these lil babies:
Can't wait till it stops being -27 degrees CELCIUS so i can wear them.
Saw Pans Labyrinth monday. Amazing. Go see it. If you don't, well, you suck.
I'm going to THIS party in april, and i'm creaming my panties thinking about it:
I've also been listening to a lot of hard house lately and well, I'm just so stoked. But typing it wont get across just how excited i am. Look at the guy in the middle of that picture. What a dork. Hehe. He's probably really high.
In unrelated news all i keep thinking about is eating one of these:
My brothers snake refused to eat his rat so the poor lil guy was in there for 2 days before my brother decided to take him outta there. now he's in a stinky cold seperate tank, looking all sad and forelorn. tomorrow i'm gonna buy sawdust and food and officially name the rat. I'm thinking Bobby 3. This name has depth.
Look at the poor guy
This is a painting i did. It's my little brother Frankie who lives in Australia. It's his 4th b-day next month and i miss him a great deal. He's so cute, eating a mango.
And this is an assemblage piece i did, with a very old pic of my dad and grandma who died 2 years ago in the centre. I love this piece. i used shells i stole from a national park in tasmania, and unmature pearls my dad gave me years ago. It's a nice way to treat treasured pics yanno? Imo.
Anyhoo that concludes this rather random blog of sorts. Be well, be merry and enjoy the fucking heat for me if u live in a warm place. Today, my SNOTS FROZE on the way to the bus stop. Misery i tell ya!
Peace
