My 2 Second Shelf Life

Sunday Click Around

I got a real kick out of Scared of Santa. When my younger stepson was little, he was scared shitless of Santa too. Frankly, it's a strange thing to put your kid on the lap of an oddly dressed total stranger. I'm surprised more kids don't scream their heads off.

The other day, Eva from And another thing wrote this post on what constitutes art. It put me in mind of The Gates...Do you remember the kerffuffle that was created with The Gates in Central Park? Obviously, I'm a pedestrian because I thought it was shite, and a grand waste of good money. Then I remembered Stephen Colbert's report on The Gates, and had a laugh all over again!

I also burned some time on Knuttz.net. I found really interesting jewellery made from silverware. I would totally wear some of it.
If you're interested in carpeting designs, here is a link to casino carpets. Lots of these carpets...ok most of these carpets are really, really busy. Here are some funny vegetables too. Someone had a lot of time on their hands...and a small paring knife.

I've had a long time love of The Palais Royale Ballroom on Lakeshore Blvd here in Toronto.
Home of many wartime dances, featuring some of the best big bands of the era. The Legion Hall is still just a little east of the Palais.
My soft spot is mostly because I grew up in Parkdale, and I've been to some kickass concerts (Third World, The Selecter, The Specials to name a few) and parties there.
When they boarded it up, I thought they were tearing it down, as Toronto seems to love to do to anything with charm or history attached. I was pleased to see that they've actually restored it!!! Halleluyah!
Have a look at what they've done with it...I'm vaklempt. First The Drake, then The Gladstone, now starting on The Edgewater...could it be a trend? I sure hope so. For more nostalgic photos and current changes, check out Parkdale.tv.

What is love? Well, it certainly isn't a September 11 divorce.
In the same vein, here's the Text Message Break-up from Joni Mueller.

How (not)To Be Happy.

And last but not least...She's so skinny!

That's all for now.
