I should make a tag for odds & ends kinda posts.

You know, at first I thought PostSecret was neat. Now it just pisses me off. All I see when I look at it is people buying into social stereotypes and people glorifying their obsession with/inability to let go of negative emotions in some kind of masochistic-masturbatory orgyistic forum. ...Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood today. That's probably it

Maybe. I dunno. I mean, I still see value in the project--taking things that you fear or feel bad about or whatever, creatively expressing them and connecting to others.. It's a great idea, but.. I dunno. Reading it week after week, month after month.. It's almost become an industry now, and I feel like the "secrets" people send in are either trying too hard to be touching or funny, or are just.. missing the point of it. Maybe it's just that it's something you enjoy when it's new and after that, you lose some of it. Or maybe I'm just tired and stressed these days and grumpy. :) But it's good to know I'm not the only one not feeling postsecret lately.

Sensuality Art

I like this one:

Plus, you can practice your Russian. :-)

Cool, I'll check it out. I'm subscribed to this feed, which I think is from a russian site. They haven't been updating much the past couple months, but they have the most varied stuff on there.. some of it is really cool, some.. not so much. But that's good, right? Anyway, go back & check their archives through december-november-october, etc to see a bit more of what they're usually like.

Most of those don't spin my socks, but I went back a few pages as you suggested, and many of them make me think. Which is good.

Midnight Movies

Carny would be fun to see at the Bloor at Midnight.
Also, cheap. :-)

Re: Midnight Movies

I'm usually not up for Midnight Movies, cause then I have no way home afterwards (the subway is closed), and I'm not comfortable riding the blue light by myself since getting harassed by drunken frat boys. But another screening maybe?

Also, what's with them charging for late movies this year? Weren't they free before? Or was that only free for students? They used to offer free daytime screenings to students (I'm hoping it's still on, but I haven't seen any info), so maybe the free late night ones I remember were part of the student deal.

I love the city at night. The Midnight crowd at the Bloor. Coffee after at Future Bakeshop or Insomnia... Especially now that it's not winter.

If the bus is the main problem, I could help you and up to two friends get home afterwards. The two in the back might have to be small or limber people. I have a small car, and I don't mind not drinking.

I could also be persuaded to a different screening, with enough notice to get tickets.

The $10 for everything at Midnight looks like a pretty good student deal, to me (unless one had to cab home every night).

Carny Re: Midnight Movies

[elbowfetish]

Carny is sold out Saturday (and there are parties Saturday night anyway) but I have a Midnight pass to see it Monday for a dollar. :-)

There are ways to uphold your relationship structure in public that don't explicitly or graphically convey the details. You really don't need to wear your big padded leather with 10 D-rings collar or your fet wear to work every day.

Yes. Srsly. At one of my old workplaces there was a person who wore noticeable 'bdsm wear'. They thought it was fine, (it's my choice, etc) but the client who pointed it out to our manager, did not think so.

Also, 'sup?
