Random thoughts

1. I have a friend who's taken up the habit of exclaiming "Christies!" when she's surprised. I've told her it sounds less like a curse than a breakfast cereal. "Sugar-frosted Christies, a part of this balanced breakfast. This is my body given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

2. Saturday evening with the virginmartyr1 was super fun. We were both pretty beat from all-day rehearsal but I think the exhaustion added a neat level of giddiness to the evening. And her friend from LA is cool. Hee!

3. We bought a new oven mitt this weekend. It's quite a festive shade of blue with lemons all over it. It looks more like a puppet than an oven mitt, so wafflelips decided it needed a name. I decided we should call it Oven Dando, since there are lemons all over its head.

4. My freakish evangelical Christian cousin emailed me. She got a job with the Homeland Security Department and is moving from Kansas City to Washington DC. (editorial comment: how fucking frightening is it that a nutjob like her is working for Homeland Security? I'm sure Ashcroft will just luuuuuuurve her.) She wants my advice about where to live, etc.

Some Important Facts:

a) I never lived in DC. I lived in Baltimore
b) The rude bitch came to our home, spent the night, and then left us with a pamphlet on "the truth about homosexuality" (with certain important passages highlighted) for us to study. For our own good. So we'll repent and be "cured."

I want to write a terse message saying "Sorry, can't help you." But wafflelips says I should say "fuck off and die" as well. Any opinions on the matter?

When a nation begins creating bodies like that Homeland Security thing, it's about time to start thinking quite seriously about getting the hell out of that country before the steel curtains come down.

Canada is looking pretty great right now. Even they pass some sort of defense of marriage bullshit, I'm really leaving.

I wonder what Canadas immigration policy is. Because yeah, I sometimes half think about going there too.

We're heading up to Toronto next summer to visit friends. I'm interested to see what it's like firsthand.

I'm not sure. Some people have told me it's really hard, others have the impression that it's easy. Perhaps we should ask nightxade since she is a Canadian. Of course, most of the Canadians I've asked haven't had a clue about the immigration policy...

Hell, I don't have much of an idea what the UKs immigration policy is. Except for the fact that if you're poor, fleeing torture, and/or have dark skin, then you're in a lot of trouble, and we're likely to lock you up in a concentration camp until you rot.

Wendy/Nightxade is pretty much the main reason I'd want to visit Canada though, far more than that whole their government seems pretty cool thing.

We have some friends that live in Toronto. biogeekgrrl's choir is going to Montreal for a concert in July next year. We've decided to make a vacation of it and stay a week, maybe 2. Visit Montreal and Toronto.

I visited Montreal when I was in junior high. I was vacationing w/ my best friend and her family in Vermont. We drove to Montreal for a day, but her parents kept getting lost and we ended up only going to McDonalds for some lunch, and then they made us go back to Vermont. We were pissed.

In 90 I visited Toronto. I loved it! I know it's changed a lot, it's much more crowded than it was then. But I'm still really excited to visit it again.
