i walk around the neighbourhood, and i don't smell much food baking - but i do smell a lot of marijuana. for blocks, around.
i suspect this christmas will be remembered by canadians as "the year we smoked mom".
see, i think it's already fairly normal for the family members under 40 - or is it 50 now - to take a walk out to the garage at the christmas get together and come back smelling a little funny. i guess the proposed change is more an inclusive thing.

cheetahs may not be easy to tree, but they are in fact closely related to cougars. it's interesting to wonder what would happen should the cheetah make contact with a cougar of the opposite sex.
if it weren't for the collar, i may even wonder how likely it would be for a cougar to maintain their spots to such an age.
what would a cougar-bobcat hybrid look like? being intermediate in size is almost guaranteed, and cheetah-like spots are a distinct possibility.

thanks
got your card and your check. thanks.
it's been very warm here, too. there were days in november where we got over 20 degreees, and over 25 with the humidex. humidex readings in november! and, we've gotten over 15 a few times in december.
it's 12 right now, but it's more than the temperature - it feels like april. just the air humidity. the fact that there is no frost in the ground at all. i don't think we're going to actually get a winter, here at all. the closest thing to winter will be a few snaps around 0.
i mean, the days are getting longer, now. there's no ice on the lakes. there's not even much snow cover in northern ontario. in order to have winter here, we have to have snow cover north of here to reflect the sunlight and we have to have the lakes freeze over, at least a little bit.
it's supposedly the el nino, and that's no doubt true. but these increasingly intense el ninos are a consequence of warming ocean temperatures.
i think it might get cold again for a few years after this, though. when the el nino fades, we're going to have to go back to dealing with those exaggerated jetstreams as a consequence of the upcoming solar minimum. so enjoy the nice weather this year.

i'm going to explain why this is a bad tactic: it's because it's too easy to emulate, and turn horribly. in fact, it's probably already too late.
imagine the conservatives, with defense industry backing, running an action movie star that wants to turn canada into a terrorist killing supermachine. boom boom. pow wow. when you lower the narrative this far, you open people up for this level of manipulation.
fashion is highly subjective, but there is one objective truth about it: it always burns itself out. there's always a new thing. it's a way to write yourself directly into irrelevance, by giving yourself an expiry date.
but, i think you have to expect this kind of institutional pr shtick from the liberals. the team is full of educated, upper class people. they'll never figure it out.

Hahahaha! you're kidding right? This is the Arts and Entertainment section, I think people can figure it out for themselves except those miserable cons who can't get past the fact that their guy lost.

they seem to be following a conscious strategy of mobilizing the apolitical. it's a strategy that various third parties have cited for quite some time - this idea that 30% of the population doesn't vote, and if you can tap into them then you can build a base out of them. while there may be some value to this, mobilizing them on the basis of fashion or popular culture is a self-defeating proposition.

yeah. this is basically reducing a classic work of art to strict pornography.
i would probably react well to something that was more thought out.
i need to point something out, though.
if i were the remaining members of queen, as one entity, i might be somewhat unhappy with the song's identification with wayne's world, and might want to have that changed - both for artistic reasons and perhaps also for financial ones. that association seems to be fairly engrained in people's minds.
see, they'd have to do a lot better than this to break that association, though.
i mean, honestly.
imagine having your masterpiece forever entangled with a dana carvey & mike myers skit. there should have been a "no rhapsody" sign on the filming set. it's an injustice!

should rem actually release a hip-hop compilation? should they let fucking ice cube or something loose on some old tapes?
there's enough material for a full record. maybe get some new phat spits out of the man in the process.

that flow, baby. that flow.
i'm just a little confused by this recent meme of rem being the whitest music ever.
not that there isn't some gleam of truth to it, or that it would be terrible if it were true.
but, i think that the idea of pigeon-holing their music by race would strike them as a revolting one, and i think there's plenty of potential for cross-cultural enjoyment of their music - especially, as it would be, with hip-hop fans. there's actually legitimately some very serious crossover potential, there.
it's sad to me that people don't see that, and are willing to jump to what are blatantly unsupportable conclusions based on minimal exposure.
