My brother had to write a poem as homework for his Gr. 11 English class. He was disgusted at the thought, because like me, he generally thinks poetry is emo and not "real writing". So to inspire him, I told him to write a poem as if it was a freestyle rap. I am going to share the first draft of what he came up with, because misspaprika thinks ninja_sheep and foodsthatcan will ( Read more... )

To start with, I would like to say that Sephora is the greatest place on earth. I visited Canada's first Sephora at Eaton Centre today and just being there made me immensely happy. For the half-hour I was in there, all the rage I have been feeling of late drained away and I felt at peace. *snikkerz ( Read more... )

Oh, you fool, you fool
Don't give in to fate
If this is all we've got to fight for
Rage, my darling, rage...If you're already getting sick and tired of my LJ being taken over by election-related ranting, well, go read someone else's LJ or something, because mine may well be that way for awhile. (And no, I'm not going to lj-cut this, either.) Every ( Read more... )

I zonked out at 9 p.m. last night, and had a dream that I woke up in the middle of the night and turned on CNN to see Kerry making a victory speech. When I actually awoke at 5 and turned on CNN to see "TOO CLOSE TO CALL" emblazoned across the bottom of the screen, with all numbers pointing towards a victory for That Idiotic Moron, my heart dropped ( Read more... )

On the eve of the election, this is my prayer for America ( Read more... )

"Consider it your second home..."

On Thursday night after the results show taping, I stayed awake until 4 a.m. working on a children's theatre script I call Lost in TV Land. The play is the story of Ella and Matt, a sister and brother who watch way too much TV and end up trapped in their TV set. Guided by Rory Gilmore of Gilmore Girls, they must ( Read more... )

Andrea Florian and Emm Gryner @ C'est What, 6.27.04:

Saturday night I went to C'est What, an awesome little restaurant/music room down the street from the Hummingbird (where we all... well, most of us... saw the Asshat back when everyone had taste and still liked him), to see Andrea Florian and Emm Gryner in concert. There was also some chick from ( Read more... )
