**SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW ENTRIES, THIS IS POST-DATED**
I love the idea of this. Formerly known as the 'den' these dudes have come up with other more personalised options. When you think about it, traditional adult living arrangements don't let you have your own space, which formerly was provided by an unshared bedroom. I personally lovvvve my bedroom and having it look just however I want. I hate the idea of having someone else's ugly junk laying around. Simple solution once married and sharing said living space? Mancave. Although it doesn't sound as cool to say woman-cave. Regardless, I am going to have one.

The logo for the city of Montréal was created in 1981 by Georges Huel.
I don't know much more about it than that but I do find it to be very beautiful and eyecatching;
( source )
as well as versatile (i've seen this as advertising downtown and i LOVE it):

But then in 2006, someone decided that the city needed a new brand
and forked out $487,000 for this hideous monstrosity:

This version of the Montréal city logo was released in 2008 to much criticism and
nothing has been seen of it since. ( national post's story, op-ed '10 positive things' about new logo )

He's the dude in the middle with the Ontario flag.
One of many bagpipe players
A band from Cobourg (it's a small parade so entries come from many nearby towns like Orono, Whitby, Cobourg, etc).
The Bowmanville Zoo always has their animals in it (including miniature ponies, zebra, camels, horse, reindeer, and an elephant)
The elephant turned towards me as I was taking pictures. It was frightening.

it started last night when andie and i created a joint account "Andie Deanna", under the false philosophy that, being a joint account, it would only mean 50% ownership and we didn't have to say we had facebook. but this was a fail because we are two different people.
so now i have my own, and starting from scratch i am not putting any photos or excessive personal information. but i have included links to my flickr, my blog, my linkedin, and my website. (holy net-generation).
anyway, yes, i am hanging my head in shame.
while i creep everyone i used to know!

it's good for social networking and keeping in touch, i just won't be using it for its more pervasive qualities which i had such a big problem with before.

So anyway now I have installed a theme on there from AMY&PINK and now it looks more like a real website. So the next step is time-consuming tinkering in unfamiliar CSS-code territory to add my own content. Which will be fine now that I'm over the hill.
PHEW.

Most species have long, soft abdomens which are protected from predators by a salvaged empty seashell carried on the crab's back, into which the crab's whole body can retract. Most frequently hermit crabs utilize the shells of sea snails; the tip of the hermit crab's abdomen is adapted to clasp strongly onto the columella of the snail shell. As the hermit crab grows in size, it has to find a larger shell and abandon the previous one. (source)

this is my favourite ending scene of any movie i've seen for a couple of reasons:
- the use of Futura in Sebastien's journal reminiscent of Barbara Kruger (in which he writes "I'M A BITCH!" referring to Katherine)
- the best use of Bittersweet Symphony,
- the subjective high school uniform nostalgia
- the best spoiled brat sociopath world-crashing-down face ever at 2:33 of the clip

Flu shot leaves woman with neurological disorder
it goes without saying, that i will certainly not be in line for the swine flu shot, or even the regular flu shot. after my mum had the flu shot a few years ago it made her more sick than she had ever been without it. and it doesn't even protect against every strain of the flu!
also, per
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
bjerre , finland downgrades swine flu as a serious health risk; "Finnish health authorities said in a statement Wednesday that swine influenza would be downgraded as a threat given that the bulk of patients appeared to recover well without medication or hospital care." (emphasis added)( source )

Taryn Simon, a political photographer, gave a TED talk about the places and things she turns into subjects for her photos. She mentioned in there a photo she took of a white tiger named Kenny, since deceased, and had this to say:
In the United States, all living white tigers are the result of selective inbreeding to artificially create the genetic conditions that lead to white fur, ice-blue eyes and a pink nose. Kenny was born to a breeder in Bentonville, Arkansas on February 3, 1999. As a result of inbreeding, Kenny is mentally retarded and has significant physical limitations. Due to his deep-set nose, he has difficulty breathing and closing his jaw, his teeth are severely malformed and he limps from abnormal bone structure in his forearms. The three other tigers in Kenny’s litter are not considered to be quality white tigers as they are yellow coated, cross-eyed, and knock-kneed.

Fire ants form a living lifeboat; using their resources in order to cross a river. Spectacular.
