So recently I've gone to a few events and have made a few new resolutions.
Burning Man with Tiff, show went very well, although burning man parties seem to really pull in all the odds and ends of the weirdo's in Toronto. The fire dancers were really good that night, even if they are some of the most narcassistic people I have ever met in my LIFE. Imagine Jenn with flaming batons and randy as all hell and you have the fire dancers really...
Tiff and Tayla were awesome though, had a rather nerve-inducing setup for the show as the scissor-lift was broken and Tiff had to clamber up a very tall ladder to secure the hoop and the silks. Teardown was even worse as we had to do the same thing but with a mass of people partying and dancing below us at 1 in the morning. But at least it looked really cool! And they got alot of cheers too...

Me and Tiff's costumes for steampunk theme that night.
a week later went out with Jenn to see Iron Man again as she had yet to see it and I could not bear the fannish tragedy that that was. Ended up with a small huddle of people around us at the end of the movie when I mentioned that there was an extra scene at the end, then started chatting with people while we all waited for the credits to finish rolling. You really can't acknowledge exactly how much of a geek you are until you start explaining the fannish jokes and references to a captive audience of Mundies.
After that trucked off to the circus student show, themed after Alice In Wonderland as that seems to have a bit of a cult following this year. Show was really really good, it always amazes me to see what the circus folk can get up to when they're allowed to really let loose and do whatever the hell they want to...
Tiff is on the right... maybe... I think.
Crazy talented Static Trap artists
Yesterday me and Beej and my Dad headed off to the zoo for the morning. Haven't had a chance to go in a long damn time and had alot of fun geeking out and running from exhibit to exhibit with Beej. I will tell you this though: Zookeeper really REALLY frown on you standing at a fence and telling the reindeer that they make delicious steak.... REALLY frown on it....
Reindeer.... cute yes, but also very god with Ketchup.
Evil demon Kookaburra. It was perfectly still except for it's glaring demon eyes.
This Hippo was asleep standing up and resting it's nose on the ground, really strange to witness..
The Peacock is actually above the doorway of a pavilion we were attempting to enter. I kept thinking it would swoop down and attack us from above. What a terrible way to go, death by peacock...
Me and Beej with the monkey statue. I think everyone who's ever visited that Zoo has a photo of them with this statue...
Now am headed off to work for the night, it seems me and the weather have a bit of a battle going on in the last month: If I have the day off and have things I want to get done the weather will be MISERABLE. If I am working however the sun will be shining and it will be a beautiful day. I hate Canada...
