You know you're stressed out when someone sneezes in the cubicle next to you and you fucking jump out of your skin.

Robert Pattinson is sOoOoOoOo interesting





Edvard Munch - The Vampire.

This painting is pretty sexy, non ?

Freud reckons we are so down with vampires because they satisfy our desire for an incestuous encounter with dead relatives, the fearful act of blood sucking that is connected to seduction, and our desire to be a passive and innocent victim.

Well, it wasn't Freud who said this, it was his homeboy Ernest Jones. He also said that we cover up our desire with the repulsive imagery surrounding the objects of our nightmares ... the dreamer can't be blamed for these images by her subconscious because she too finds them repulsive, but deep down ... totally! gets! off! on them.

I guess a lot of this explains the Twilight obsession.

I know things.

Toronto the grassy knoll.



This book rocked my world when I read it in the summer, and yesterday I stumbled upon the editors booth at Broken Pencil's Canzine fair. (I told the intern I wanted her to have my soul. Either that or have her job.) They are coming out with a new book in the middle of the month called The Edible City - Toronto Food from Farm to Fork. It's supposed to range from issues on third world poverty to bad restaurant service. Toronto is a city with a wacky cornicopia of cuisines, and they are testament to our awesomely varied population. Here is a scant review of whats to come: http://www.chbooks.com/catalogue/edible-city. I'll write a better one once I read it. LOLZ. Until then, though ... check out GreenTOpia and you will fall in if you dig Toronto in any shape or form.

Nothing tells of culture and environment quite like the fruits of its people.

We ARE what we eat, non ?
