come here close and you will see.

i'm so tired. it's nine pm and i'm going to climb into a shower and straight to bed and read my new nylon! xtina on the cover? CRAZY! i wanted to share this message sent to me and the link! so fun! oh, and today i saw m'girl perform! so great!

hey you all, i just wanted to send along a video of a performance art
piece i was in just recently for the Art Matters festival. every year
one of my friends has done something totally weird and awesome (ie. a
bunch of people in yedi costumes playing wierd music inside an igloo;
a musical set inside a vagina in which lizz was a singing, tapdancing
bacteria; etc.) this year it was olivia pojars mountain costumes that
got alli inspired to choreograph and dance this piece all about
mountains. its really hilarious and was so much fun to be apart of.

cheers

This still needs some fixin up and the pop ups might need some toneing
down but here is Alli's latest bit of rad.

maybe this coffee was a bad idea, maybe this might now work out for me?

i am so angry! yesterday the fucking cbc (who i love by the way) posted this story. turns out 25% of kids in Canada are fat and will live shorter lives than their parents! this story is based on a house of commons report on the status of fat kids in canada! (note: i'm using fat because i think the terms "overweight" and "obese" are too nice and detract from the fact that this is a bunch of fucking fat fear!!). the report goes on to say that 55% of aboriginal kids on reserves are fat! because they eat processed food! not because maybe the communities are living fucking third world standards and are more worried about food security and surviving the residential schools let alone fatness!! grrr! i'm so angry!

the report also says that three actions need to be taken:
"* Start a comprehensive public awareness campaign." (ie. "hey you! you're fat and we hate you!")
"* Mandate standardized labels on the front of packages." (ie. "hey you! this food you're about to be putting in your body will make you fat or fatter and everyone will either hate you or hate you more because you supposedly are draining the medical fund!! fuck you fatty!!! we don't think you have feelings!!")
"* Remove trans fats from the Canadian diet and replace them with an alternative low in saturated fat." (ie. "hey you! didn't you know that trans fats are the only thing that make you fat!? that means that the only reason you're obese you fatty is because you eat shitty! not because you grew up fat, or because you don't have the financial opportunity to have access to the food you need to be health! nor is it because you eat a lot of fast food because you spend all your time at work trying to live the wonderful american dream with your suv and your dvd player and your juicy suits. no no no, i'm only telling you you're fat, not creating the culture that is keeping you fat, no no no!")

did you know that there is also an international obesity taskforce!? mother fuckers! this fat fear and war on obesity is another thing to distract us from what's really going on in the world! it is totally a master plan of patriarchy, colonialism, and fucking global white domination!!! grrrr!!!!

so, i found the chubsters!! and they're amazing! i want to be a chubster! bring on my donut fist. don't fucking fight against fat in my neighbourhood! aren't our problems a little more than some fucking trans fats? grrrrrrr!!!!!

with her shifting all is one, i remember you're alone once more...

i ganked this picture from a friend's buzznet site. his photos are maturing with his time in nihon and i think you should all look at them. this one is particularly impressive. he's also travelling more than he did when i lived there, which is also exciting. seeing the south! yay! i'm home sick today. i tried to go to my new job again (i've been sick for the last three weeks and they're not letting me work!! i'm SO not used to being told to go home when sick!) and returned home to bed. i did dishes, and some laundry and slept for a few hours (yay for naps!) and i'm still feeling really drained. a coworker called from my current job (three.more.days!!!) and things are just CRAZY, so i'm going to go in tomorrow and get some stuff done because it's just nuts right now. i'm really excited to be having free time soon. i'll be making less, sure, but i'll just have to live less. that's the whole point. spend less, work less. well, and i'll begin contracting. that would be nice. off to read and learn c.s.s.!! xoxo.
