American Masters Annie Leibovitz

I recently watched the American Masters profile of Annie Leibovitz. I thought it was a really great show and I learned so much about Annie. Not that I knew much, hell, I didn’t even know she was a lesbian. If you can see the rerun tonight, be sure to check it out. I’ve been searching the Internet for a video but have had no luck.

Damn you Google Reader

I was using Google Reader for a lot of my blog reading. It’s broken right now and has been for awhile. It’s quite irritating as they don’t tell you WTF is going on. Not even an acknowledgment of the problem and a “please be patient”. Looks like I’m gonna have to go to something more reliable. So readers what is your favourite feed reader? I have a bloglines account but I’m not big on the interface to be honest. For those who are asking WTF is an feed reader?

Join Zanta for a Parade

Toronto spectacle Zanta is having a special parade on Saturday to celebrate the dropping of charges against him. So head out to Queens Park on Saturday. Zanta Parade on Saturday, March 11 at 14:00 (2:00 PM) at Queen’s Park via LiveJournal

He has a name

And it’s Zanta. If you live in Toronto it possible you have seen Zanta before. I see him on the subway most times doing crazy shit in that Santa hat. Last time he was wearing these massive moon boots, shorts, no shirt, the Santa hat and a winter jacket. He decided to flex for everyone. Leave a comment with your favourite Zanta story. Edit: Livejournal is the place for all your Zanta news. Who knew the Sun did a story on him.

EDIT(3/28/06): There are some interviews with Zanta available. Thanks CaugheyMachine. (Ya, I’m slow with the updates)

Voting

I usually stick to fashion posts. However, I had a laugh voting today. I had no idea how many different and varied candidates I had to choose from. Communist – Miguel Figueroa Action – Wendy Forrest Green – Mark O’Brien NDP – Gord Perks Conservative – Theresa Rodrigues Liberal – Mario Silva Marxist-Leninist – Sarah Thompson I really wish I had my camera, but I’m pretty sure that would be a federal offence.
