Spring, Art, Sidewalk Etiquette & My iPod

Went out for a walk yesterday at lunch and saw this in a gallery window on Granville.


Oh yes, Toronto, it is you. Ha ha.

Some early morning thoughts:

Forsythia, they're like the drag queens of Spring. No matter the weather or time of day, they're in your face with their giant yellow happiness. Smile mofo! It's Spring!

When you get off the bus and you need to do God knows what in your purse or whatever, either move off to the side of the sidewalk or WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE! Be happy I didn't shove your dumb ass in front of that bus. Good morning!

Finally, had a brief scare this morning when the note pad in my iPod wouldn't work. I'd open it up to write something and it would just close itself. WTF? I tried it again when I got to work and it seems fine now. Played music just fine. And speaking of music, last song before I got to work... Sex Machine by James Brown. Get on up.

On The Radio...

This morning the station I listen to was talking about an article they were reading from the Vancouver Sun on umbrella etiquette. Usual blah blah blah stuff, but then one of the dj's makes a comment about golf umbrellas and how they should only be seen on the golf course. Excuse me? Maybe if I was the size of a smurf one of those rinky-dink little umbrellas would be great, I'm 6'2 though and I'd like to be able to keep a little more of myself dry than just my head. Goddamned little people.
