Calvin Harris painted the hands and feet of several beautiful women with a conductive ink, which, when clapped, stomped, or touched, creates music.

Hello all,

I am very excited to share with you that, as of today, I am 7 months free of meat! I feel healthier and more fit than ever before and, though I largely owe that to eating healthier and being more active, I believe vegetarianism pushed me into this lifestyle.

Some said it couldn’t be done and, though I am not here to say ‘I told you so,’ er, well.. you get the point.

Unfortunately, there is no good food in my house with which to celebrate, but I will think happy thoughts and that will be good enough.

In other news, I am moving back home (Vancouver) on August 17. I know, I know, I was supposed to be in Europe by that time, but times are tough and money is not to be had. Oh well. I have a home, and a job, and many loved ones to keep me happy. Adventures and happiness await me back on the coast.

Now to pack, work, pack, see friends, pack!

He’s got such a great stage presence! He loves what he does, and isn’t afraid to show it.

Love it.

Gallery1988 held a gallery show based themed around Cult Films. A lot of them are pretty fantastic, and it was fun guessing the film from the artwork. Take a look.

Here are some of my favorites:

Aaron Jasinski “Dollhouse Dilemma” (Welcome to the Dollhouse)

Scott Campbell “Showdowns” (Various Films)

Dan May “Portrait of a Gentle Man” (Edward Scissorhands)

Dave Perillo “Goonies Never Say Die” (The Goonies)

Dan Lydersen “Seven Deadly Sins” (Various Films)

Kirk Demarais “The Torrances” (The Shining)

Others that I really like: Audrey Pongracz’s “Moloko Plus,” and “Gooses Geeses;” Ben Strawn’s “Pee-Wee;” Ruel Pascual’s
“28 Days, 6 Hours, 42 Minutes, 12 Seconds… We’re Almost Home;” Luke Berliner’s “The Rejects;” Sarah Soe’s
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory series.

Boy A - Andrew Garfield was incredible in this ‘break out’ role as a young man recently released from jail for committing a murder as young child. I am speechless trying to write a decent review for this film. I am so utterly shaken up, and my mind is racing. Rehabilitation and second chances are absolutely challenged in this film, and.. just.. there is a reason I’m not a film critic. Watch this movie. It will move you in ways you’ve never been moved. Hands down my favorite film I’ve seen in a long, long, long time.

The BBC reports that the famous impressionist and Gauguin, got into a brawl, and the Tahiti inspired painter cut off Van Gogh’s ear with a sword.

Van Gogh was such a good pal. He agreed to tell everyone he was crazy and cut off his own ear in order to save Gauguin’s reputation/soul/whatever. Man, friends just don’t make the grade these days. How many of your friends would tell that lie for you?!

Yeah.. pretty damn excited. This was one of my favorite novels in the series, and everyone looks so damn cheeky. Love it.

“If we started a movie on the day you were born, and stretched it over your lifespan, this is where you’d be in that movie. So if you’re a teenager, you might see Luke arguing with Uncle Owen, or Cameron making a phony phone call to Ed Rooney. If you’re a retiree, you might see the Marshmallow Man, or Toto pulling away the curtain. And if you’re in your mid-thirties, you might be relieved to know that Ferris is still eating lunch, and the Millenium Falcon hasn’t left Tatooine.”

Plug in your birthday, when you’re going to die (I chose the average death age of female Canadians: 82.6), and pick a film.

Apparently I’m about to meet, or just met The Lollipop Guild. This is excellent; they were my favorite munchkins.
