Yes folks, I'm sorry to say that the end is, indeed, very very nigh.
I had seafood voluntarily last night and enjoyed the hell out of it.
Red Snapper Sashimi, you are so, so good. And apparently what we had was no where near as good as it gets.
I will now wait for the bombs to fall.
*she should've been committed years ago, folks!* /Groucho*
ba-dum-CHA!
and now to go upstairs and finish that wedding dress for this weekend. Yes. Any time now.
HUGS
and a very, very happy birthday to Kea! May it be filled with the wierd, the wonderful and the satisfying.
anyone?
because if so, I am fully justified in not thinking it's a long walk. People in this city just don't walk enough, I say. Also, the realisation that it's a scant 15 minute walk to Bathurst station is pretty sweet too.
and putting my cooking tripod, cauldron, and spear into the trunk.
Then coming inside, and grabbing the deer skull and heading out to the front porch to grab the last of the day's light to varnish it thoroughly against the elements.
I tipped the cabbie, in case anyone was wondering.
Toronto being what it is, he looked totally unsurprised.
see? Perfectly Normal.

this is hosted by my friend Andrew and his lovely wife Fleur, who is really good with the ecstatic dance stuff.
Ecstatic Dance* & Movement Course
Ecstatic Dance* & Movement Course
Fly Like Never Before
Dance is used in almost every culture for spiritual ends. Come learn how to let go and allow the energy flow through you using mask & ritual movement. This course will take you through the process of letting go of your self awareness and the all important how to bring yourself back. We will cover safety, and give you tools you can use with any ritual practice you may be working with.
*No dance experience is required. Seriously! This is a course for spiritual people who are looking to add another tool to their tool box. Ecstatic dance is not about what movement looks like to the world – it is about the internal process. A magickal background is a benefit, but is not required.
This course is taught by myself and my partner professional dance artist and teacher Mary Fleur Hanlon McGregor, who has lead ecstatic dance ritual since 2000.
Make your own mask, free your body, merge with the divine.
10 Wednesdays starting January 16th, 7:30pm – 9:30pm, $200
Pre-registration is required as space is limited.

MONSTRE!!!
I'm at work, but this isn't a constant for me so...call me if you need anything.
and by 'me', I mean my long suffering hubby.
love!!!
Ahhh, the ol' family arthritic rheumatism. I *wondered* when you'd show up...
well, frisking along merrily last night, I managed to get a sliver in the sole of my foot-not, actually, a big deal, as I've done this at least three other times in the year we've lived here. Clutzy? you betcha.
This sliver, however, was almost two inches long and almost 1/4 wide.Get a ruler, I'll wait.
....
it went in one side of the ball of my foot, under the callous, and out the other side. Thoughtfully, it was barbed with mini-slivers, so I couldn't just pull it out the entry hole; nor could I pull it out the exit hole, as it was flared the wrong way.
I ended up having to slice down into the callous to the skin, and then carefully separate the final ten or so layers of skin with a needle tip before I could pull it out, bleeding and shredding my foot up the whole way.
Needless to say, I'm limping a bit today, and walking very carefully at home...
listening to whale songs makes me giggle uncontrollably, they sound freakin' hysterical!

MAMBOLICA!!!!!!!
I've spent the whole driving in circles in Hamilton, engaging in fruitless activity. I wish you the EXACT OPPOSITE of this for your next wonderful, adventure and love-laden year. I wish you long glorious walks, chewy peanut butter cookies (okay, that' a personal favourite, but if I had some, I'd share them with you!) personal satisfaction every day, relaxing kitty pets, great photo opportunities and other glorious things.
I have also made the font in the closest I could get to maroon, which I also know you love.
so there!
olletho, who will understand. And snort tea through her nose upon reading. :PA list of actual announcements that London Tube train drivers have made to their passengers...
1) "Ladies and Gentlemen, I do apologize for the delay to your service. I
know you're all dying to get home, unless, of course, you happen to be
married to my ex-wife, in which case you'll want to cross over to the
Westbound and go in the opposite direction."
2) "Your delay this evening is caused by the line controller suffering
from E & B syndrome: not knowing his elbow from his backside. I'll let you
know any further information as soon as I'm given any."
3) "Do you want the good news first or the bad news? The good news is that
last Friday was my birthday and I hit the town and had a great time. The
bad news is that there is a point's failure somewhere between Stratford
and East Ham, which means we probably won't reach our destination."
4) "Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the delay, but there is a
security alert at Victoria station and we are therefore stuck here for the
foreseeable future, so let's take our minds off it and pass some time
together. All together now.... 'Ten green bottles, hanging on a
wall.....'."
5) "We are now traveling through Baker Street ... As you can see, Baker
Street is closed. It would have been nice if they had actually told me, so
I could tell you earlier, but no, they don't think about things like
that".
6) "Beggars are operating on this train. Please do NOT encourage these
professional beggars. If you have any spare change, please give it to a
registered charity. Failing that, give it to me."
7) During an extremely hot rush hour on the Central Line, the driver
announced in a West Indian drawl: "Step right this way for the sauna,
ladies and gentleman... unfortunately, towels are not provided."
8) "Let the passengers off the train FIRST!" (Pause .) "Oh go on then,
stuff yourselves in like sardines, see if I care - I'm going home...."
9) "Please allow the doors to close. Try not to confuse this with 'Please
hold the doors open.' The two are distinct and separate instructions."
10) "Please note that the beeping noise coming from the doors means that
the doors are about to close. It does not mean throw yourself or your bags
into the doors."
11) "We can't move off because some idiot has their hand stuck in the
door."
12) "To the gentleman wearing the long grey coat trying to get on the
second carriage - what part of 'stand clear of the doors' don't you
understand?"
13) "Please move all baggage away from the doors." (Pause..) "Please move
ALL belongings away from the doors." (Pause...) "This is a personal
message to the man in the brown suit wearing glasses at the rear of the
train: Put the pie down, Four-eyes, and move your bl**dy golf clubs away
from the door before I come down there and shove them up your a**e
sideways!"
14) "May I remind all passengers that there is strictly no smoking allowed
on any part of the Underground. However, if you are smoking a joint, it's
only fair that you pass it round the rest of the carriage."
Secrets of Voodoo by Milo Rigaud.
I read this one months ago, I have no idea why I didn't enter it then. Who knows...
from reading Hekate Soteria I have to hunt down a good translation of the Chaldean Oracles. Anyone?
Bueller?
...also, probably by the end of the weekend I will have finished an AMAZING translation of Iliad by the Earl of Derby pub. 1910. The book is just beautiful, they really don't make 'em like this any more. All the art nouveau plates, borders etc. are just phenomenal. It makes it a pleasure to read!
It was going to be sorta-fun...but that was before I found out that there was going to be jelly beans and pumpkin pasties and chocolate hedgehogs and so forth.
AND before Richard and I taste-tested some stuff to make PITCHERS OF BUTTERBEER. Oh, yes, ladies and gentlemen-there are days when you all wish you had my job. Drinking butterbeer with the boss at 11 a.m.? Hells yeah.
MIDNIGHT book extravaganza, with witches dressed as witches...what could be more personally hysterically funny? nothing, I say. Nothing at all.
okay.
