Fellow Bloggers at Chateau Nice hosted a wonderful Brunch at their home last Sunday.
After hitting red light after red light after... well you get the picture! I FINALLY get there with my boyfriend.
I had time to eat some of the MARVELLOUS foods! and pose for one photo.
I don't know who this is.
Neither does my lovely boyfriend looking on in the back!
Dinner at my place week after next?
The well timed pairing of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise makes for plenty of skepticism.
I mean, both have blockbuster movies due out this summer (Holmes with Batman Beyond and Cruise with War of the Worlds) which makes many of us back seat water cooler gossip columnists on guard.
I am indifferent to the whole affair, Holmes on Cruise really doesn't effect the price of tea in China, nor does it effect the axis on which the world revolves around me. (Don't try to tell me it doesn't!!)
However, after thinking about it, it clearly became apparent... if people continue to utulize relationships as PR stunts then who is to define was is real and what isn't? Like the boy who cried wolf, will they too have their cries (Albeit of lust) fall on deaf ears?
Although, perhaps there is a possibility that the combined glare of their radiant smiles is enough to blind them enough to think that it is love.
It's a hot night in a cool city tonight.
At a glance tonight:
The MMVA's are going on down on Queen West. It's a hotbed of excitement for the 13-18 crowd. Those of us in our tweens are really not going to sacrifice our cool facade for a glance at a star royally emerging from their limo for a gracious wave to their fans.
How humbling.
So I'm home.
This morning was a whirlwind of red lights and frivolity! From Downtown to the Beaches to the Groovin' Grove, I went on an Autoshare adventure for a fabulous brunch at Chateau Nice.
Came home to curl up on my couch to be evicted from my nest in favour of the visiting parentals.
Oh the evening had only then begun my friends.
It's always nice to have the family over. I don't see them quite enough. Although, I'm so used to my own space and when M&D are up my space is gone.
No space, no control...
No more complaints.
TOMORROW IS WORK!
Anyone want to support a programme designed to help underserved youth in the GTA? Let me know.
So:
politically correct
adj. Abbr. PC
1. Of, relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
2. Being or perceived as being overconcerned with such change, often to the exclusion of other matters.
One is inclusive and the other is exclusive. Interesting!
Not as interesting as this little blog:

Apparently it's politically correct to poke fun at us Canadians AND Hispanics.
Canadians = Nationality.
Hispanic = Race
I believe it is universally understood that making jokes at the expense of someone's race is a no no. That, I believe, IS politically incorrect.
What is missing from that list:
Non- Religious based Public Figures (in General)
Belinda Stronach (In a class all her own!)
And...
Americans (Anything to do with)
Poke Fun of Canadians, please, we invite you to. We have a pretty well defined Comedy Culture in this country. We're used to being inwardly jovial!
puns anyone?
I went on my semi frequent Blog-Hunt. You know, get to know who's out there, make my internet world seem small and cozy.
Blogs are dying.
I came across - A Hoover Vaccuum Blog, a Discount Golf Supply Blog and Where to Find Fire Stations.
Blogs about the self are passe.
Blogs about the goods are in.
dig it.
I thought it was 8 and I have an 8:30am. So it's 7:25am, I've dressed, moisterized, pinned back my hair and prematurely brushed my teeth.
Miss World Canada Pageant Week, I'm going to talk to the girls about leadership and giving back to your community even after pageant week. I feel that, within the pageant realm, I have some authority to speak on that since giving back is a career path of sorts.
No desire to write anything pollitical at all... although, a friend of mine does have a crush on a pollitical figure. Her blog assures me that no intervention is required, but, I'm standing on guard non-the-less.
Sunday, Mum and Sister are going to Stillwater Spa for a day of primping and relaxing. However, I doubt I will go. One treatment is equiv. to the cost of my living room... I'm all about luxery, but, that, in my mind, is NOT value for service offered! I'm going to pass! Besides I need treatments they don't offer there... eyebrow waxing, body scrub and tan.
Aren't you glad I told you!
Summer 2005 arrived on its own schedule. For weeks, the low tempature spurned annoyed Torontonians to furrow their brows & reluctantly button up their lightest winter jackets with hopes Mother Nature would take notice. Ah, she did, and how that matriarch of earth and druidism delivered summer with a vengence hotter than hell.
June 10, 2005 - Toronto enjoying, one of it's near 14 smog warnings, simultaneously basques in the perceived outdoor temperature of over 41 degree centigrate. Emergency cooling stations sprung up across the city while volunteers handed out bottles of water to passers by.
Hydrate, Cool Off, Strip down.
While the city was busy reacting to the present need to help save the homeless, the elderly and the underaged from wilting. Many annoyed Torontonians were wiping the sweat from their furrowed brows, cursing the unprecidented heat and wondering why they must suffer while the rest of Canada is comfortable.
Well, call me crazy, call me aware of my surroundings, but, I'll tell you why the heat is so high in the bubble we call the "Big Smoke"
Years of coal burning plants, car emissions, and lack of sufficient green space has eroded the natural presence of seasons in Toronto to the blot that is its own disgusting weather patterns.
The solution is so simple, but, the apathy of Torontonians makes it unfashionable to indulge in.
Car pool, public transit, bicycle or heaven forbid WALK! Plant trees, make roof top gardens and make change.
If you're not prepared to take accountability and make change then stop complaining! In this sweltering heat your negativity is really making me grumpy, so please, shut up.
