Canadian girl out and aboot

I worked another shift at the film festival yesterday. One of the events was a special screening by invite only. You had to have a free ticket to attend. Most of the people showed up at the right time, but there were people who showed up half an hour to an hour late. Some of them hadn't picked up their tickets yet, and argued with me so I would let them in.

In my previous shift at the film fest, there were also some other people who went to the movie an hour late. This, to me, is both rude and pointless. What a waste of time and money! Not only that, it's rude to the other people who came on time and who are already sitting in the theatre.

The guy who worked at the movie theatre told me that this is quite commonplace. That really surprised me.

I'm somewhat amused by the robots in the video for the Beck song "Hell yes." The best way to see the video is go to go Beck.com, and click on the video section. Then go to the video "Hell yes."

Those robots are apparently the Sony QRio robots. They are currently available in Japan, but will not be available in North America for several years.

While walking in Boston Common, we came about this bizarre sculpture . I immediately asked B* to snap a pic of it since it was one of the more bizarre statues I've seen. Does anyone know the history of it?

A few years ago, I began waxing nostalgic for a certain Barbie game that I played at a babysitter's when I was in elementary school. In the game, Ken would call Barbie (the player). He would tell you where you were going, and you would have a certain amount of time to go shopping and get dressed and back in time so that he could take you on a date. The game had really cheesy graphics and horrible music. However, since it was so horribly sexist and strange, I really wanted to find it. After a certain amount of googling, B* was able to find a link to a description and screen shots of this particular game! I recommend reading this website description of the game in question, as it's funnier than anything I could write about it.

I might even download the game and play it, just to amuse myself.

B* sent me this link, which revealed one of President Bush's bizarre fetishes .
