My friend Kierston just sent me this great video. I knew I had to share it immediately, as it is Friday, customary day of catblogging.

Sometimes, if I am lucky, my cats do something like this...

Ever wonder how you can take your consumerism to a new level? Ever wonder what else you can dispose of?

I've just witnessed a TV commercial for a single use panty. Just what I needed! Underwear to throw away! Gone with pesky laundry -- just throw away your clothes!

In the advertisement they suggest it's useful so that you don't ruin your good panties having your monthly feminine inconvenience. I suppose that's a concern, but why not stock up on lovely new black undies from American Apparel? Much harder to stain black fabric. Oh but no, that would be too practical.

I suppose, I can think of one case where they'd really be justifiable. I could keep a spare in case a girlfriend needed one. Borrowing used undies in case of emergency is unappealing at best, but one could keep a 'spare' disposable.

It's amazing how powerful smells are for recollecting memories. I once bought a hair wax (I know, what will they think of next?) that smelled exactly like a cheap waxy pink Holly Hobby little girl's makeup kit I had when I was really little. It was my first ever makeup, given to me as a gift - I doubt this went over well with my parents. I used shyly play wih it in the corner and pretend that I was a very stylish lady.

Every time I open that hair wax container now I am transported immediately to the land of five year olds, to the land of pink ribbons, perfect skin and a tiny perspective on the world. I am transported back to a time when I didn't know feminism, terrorism, sarcasm, cubism, agism or any other ism for that matter. It's a smell that reminds me of innocence.

Really, I could just sit here with my nose in that hair wax for hours. Who knew hairstyling could send you so far back in time?

I place a curse upon you evil spammers! You are the scourge of the internet!

If you thought receiving spam was annoying, try having a spammer pretend that his or her spam is originating from your very own personal email address. Yes folks, it does happen, and it appears that it's happening to to me as we speak.

FOR THE RECORD, I DO NOT SEND SPAM, I AM NOT A SPAMMER, NOR WILL I TOLERATE SPAMMERS FORGING SPAM LISTING MY EMAIL AS THE SENDER!

I am feeling pretty irate -- as I do not want to be blacklisted, or forced to abandon my favourite email address.

Gah! That is my evening rant for tonight.

This Thursday June 7th at The Annex I'll be performing at a show presented by the Music Waste festival! The show starts at 9PM and The Annex is located at 307 West Cordova. I'll be performing a set of my original electronica vocal and instrumental compositions from my upcoming album. I am scheduled to go around 9:50ish. I am really looking forward to it!

The lineup also includes Eryn Holbrook and The Creaking Planks. Eryn will be doing "melodic frenetic electropop" and The Creaking Planks will be doing "modern cover songs on Old Timey instruments." Should be a really fun show...

I look forward to seeing you there!
