Crap Shit

Idiot song -- idea pretty much pilfered from an old beer commercial -- by 'Grayson Matthews' played on CBC's The National tonight:

Not much different in style and substance from all of those post-9/11 patriotism songs ... except that he doesn't try to rhyme "Bin Laden" with "forgotten":

Knee-jerk patriotism is ridiculous at the best of times ... it's completely uncalled for at a time when the country is sucking so badly.

Bad Apple

Defender of the Manly Men

Jason Kenney's always been a bit of an oddball when it comes to sex. As a young Reformer, he was vocal about saving himself for marriage. Now, this:

But Kenney, who fought same-sex marriage when it was debated in Parliament, ordered those key sections removed when his office sent its comments to the department last June.

QWAC Gala 2010

I've contributed an 8-minute animation to the first-ever gala fundraiser for the Queen West Art Crawl. The event is March 26 at the Gladstone and tickets are $75:

The artists are split into two ‘waves’ of creativity. Ten artists will get the party started by creating original works based on a Queen West-related theme. After an intense two-week creation period, these works are submitted to the second wave of ten, who take inspiration from the first group and respond with their own original works.

My work is currently in the hands of a musician who has two weeks to compose ... something ... to accompany the animation and will perform it live at the gala.
