Nothing Is Good If Other People Like It*

Twice today, I was in the car for about 15 minutes (I had to return the car to its fantastical owner tonight. I lost a vehicle, but I regained another person to hang out with). Both times I heard these three songs, which I happen to love. Apparently, sometimes I do agree with the masses.

Thank you, radio station, for making me happy.
Thank you, music, for giving me an excuse to sing and car-dance.








*tonight I watched the last half of Season 4 of The IT Crowd. I am obsessed with Roy's shirts. I always need to know what they say. This saying was on one of them. Another had a whale, and some writing. But the biggest upset of the night was a shirt with a maple leaf, the letters OMFG, and an explanation of said letters. I'm pretty sure the words were "Ontario Maple Flavours Group" - but that is still unconfirmed. And there was another line of text that I still don't know. This might keep me up tonight...Canadian content on my favourite British show!? I fell a little more in love.

    Wow, a real old fashioned flirt-and-convert was attempted. And thwarted. Hope you weren't too far from home with the broken sandals (or from a shoe store).

    that last song with paramore is a great song... well produced and performed. Pop needs more stuff like that!

The ROM, The Earth & Procreation

Disclaimer: This post is intended to generate discussion and a sharing of many opinions. It is NOT intended to judge or condemn anyone's life choices. I had an unexpected moment at the ROM last month. C and I were listening to a presentation for kids on wildlife conservation (or rather, I was listening, and C was eagerly anticipating what live animal would come out next), when a statement caught my attention and still hasn't let go. For most of history, the earth could provide enough resources for the earth's human population. But today, our population is growing rapidly, increasing by 250 000 people every day... Forty years from now, it will require 2 Earths to provide sustainably for our survival as a human species. But we only have 1 Earth. 250 000 people. Every day. That is roughly twice the size of my hometown. In one day. So I did a little math. (First, I rounded down to 200 000, just in case the figures were inflated or failed to account for some sort o...

Women And Our Ways: Intro

Last summer, I started writing a blog entry that I never finished. There are several like that, actually. This particular one starts out: If you are male, you probably don't want to read this entry. I mean it. If you were grossed out by my entry on placenta lasagna , didn't understand the problematic tea commercial , or were surprised by my thoughts on the curse of Aunt Irma , this one is bigger, badder, and more bold. I'm going for broke. I've been meaning to write this girls-only series ever since. But then I realized that I want to write a series that may frighten or surprise men, but is not meant to exclude them. Then I thought that maybe I don't want to do that, as it will stir up controversy and I will be misunderstood and I will unintentionally offend both men and women and I will write about things that don't often get talked about. But I think I'm willing to risk it. Titles in the series Women and Our Ways may include: The Mo...

Fostering FAQ: How Long Will She Stay/Will You Adopt Her?

Our first foster baby came with about 18 hours notice; it was respite care, which means we had him for a few days while his regular foster family had a break/dealt with a family emergency. He stayed 3 nights, long enough to come to church and have a dozen people cooing over his little sleeping cheeks.  With each new visitor to our quiet corner, I explained again that he would be going back to his foster family the next day. Barely a week later, we got a 9am phone call with a fostering request and by the same afternoon, we were snuggling her. This time, we had her for 4 days before church came around. Again, our community was keen to see the little one we had in tow. Again, the question, "How long will she stay?" And this time, "Are you going to adopt her?" Trying out the carrier... -- Here in Toronto, when a child is placed in foster care, it is always for an indefinite length of time. It depends on the parents' situation, and whether they are able to ...
