they went to the shelter to back up their fabricated claims of abuse, in the interests of preventing men from having access to the kids post-divorce ( Read more... )

So a friend of mine says to me and a number of other people, "Barbara Kay is doing a lecture! Let's go crash it and stare at her in stony silence!" See, Barbara Kay is a woman seething with internalized misogyny, who writes about "gender issues" for a notoriously conservative paper (the National Post) and gets lauded by mens' organizations for all ( Read more... )

mr_sharkey took some awesome photos of me in my costume last night.

I had something to say, and then I forgot it. Go me. All right, on to the everyday stuff.

GOING OUT: Tomorrow evening I'm going to catch a movie with outcast_spice, which will undoubtedly be fun (and huzzah for escaping the house to hang out with another adult ( Read more... )

GOING OUT: Oh goodness. There's a bboy event in town on Sept 6, and there's going to be an all-Filipino team. *swoons* Anyone wanna go?

FRIENDS: I miss my friends. I've been spending so much time recuperating that for over a month I haven't seen anyone other than 50_ft_queenie (one time, for the Tool concert), chubbyfemme (one time, for about fifteen minutes, at the ill- ( Read more... )

I can't walk today. My feet are covered in broken blisters and the bones themselves hurt.

But it was worth it.

OH SO WORTH IT.

50_ft_queenie looked even hotter than normal (which is saying a lot) and my wig and dress turned out spiffy (I think I probably got more comments and picked up on more than anyone else at the concert), and Tool played all the major ( Read more... )

On Wednesday I'm going to go see the Tool concert with 50_ft_queenie. On Sunday season 4 of America's Best Dance Crew starts! *squees* This is going to be an exciting week. :D As soon as the Tool concert is over and I'm done being psyched about that, I can start being psyched about ABDC4! (And they just had a "Top 10 Performances" special show; Ronnie Boy did a ( Read more... )

Took the kids to Ontario Place today with 50_ft_queenie's sister S and a young girl that S was babysitting. It was overall quite nice, but the 95% of the day that was good is not what I want to talk about. Oh no. What I want to tell you about was the one incident in the day that made me want to travel back in time to the second before I thought about having ( Read more... )

Gavin, Connor, and I went out to the Royal Ontario Museum today with mightydoll (who was nice enough to guest us on her membership) and her kids. We hit McDonalds first for lunch and then spent several pleasant hours checking out dinosaur bones, mummies, Wedgwood (YAY! a special exhibit of Wedgwood! I collect Wedgwood, so that was exciting), minerals and ( Read more... )

Today I went to a TSS gathering. I'd intended to wear my new tweed corset (*mutter mutter, throws something across room*) but suffice it to say that I screwed up on sewing the left half and it just wasn't ready to wear. So instead I wore my dusky-purple skirt with the 16' hem (and yes, with the massive petticoat underneath), and my green brocade ( Read more... )
