So far, these fireworks are better than this year’s Natal Day fireworks.

Cool Map!
Okay, if I post this, promise to come back now, hear? medal counts by country going back all the way to 1896. I was working on something similar, but didn’t have time to finish it for the opening day. My animated collage of Olympic mascots: past and present will be posted sometime before the end […]

It’s on!
8 – 8:30am Cue majestic, pomp-tastic music. Fancy graphics. Wide aerial pans across Beijing. The Bird’s Nest. 29th Olympiad begins. We’re viewing the CBC right now. Lots of stuff about how great we are. And some old footage of Peter Mansbridge with hair – a clip given to Ron McLean by George Stroumboulopoulos. Ouch! What […]

Anchor swoon
8:21am: Anchor love-in. yeah! This is my dream crush host-on-a-desert-island tag-team (So what? I have a handsome old dude swooning thing going on, thank you). Thank god Peter Mansbridge doesn’t look as sweaty as yesterday. Ron MacLean’s dark blue suit looks quite dapper as usual, with a tasteful blue striped tie. 8:38am: still more breaks, […]

Good timing
I woke up early this morning for the 7am Olympics but I forgot that the broadcasting world is all about the Eastern Time. It’s not on until 8am here. An hour of sleep I’ll never get back. Right now it’s just a bunch of CBC blah-blah-blah. NBC? No signal. That doesn’t bode well considering The […]

Time to buy a plasma screen TV?
It seems no one in Halifax wants to watch these Olympics together – in public, in a bar, in front of inevitable plates of hot wings and potato skins, as all sporting events should traditionally be viewed. The will to play host is lacking. None of the sports bars in town – not Bubba Ray’s, […]

Savage Love
Q: I have a cousin with whom I am very close. He recently proposed to his girlfriend. I have several issues with this, but the most important one is the fact that everyone who meets this young man thinks he’s gay. (I don’t know how the girlfriend hasn’t seen it.) When I told my friends […]

Q I’m a male sub looking for porn videos catering to a femme dom audience. I’m not talking about porn directed by men for submissive men, but porn targeting the appetites of the dominatrix. I’m NOT looking for softcore bondage pictures of men, or any other gay porn. I am looking for hetero femme dom […]

Savage Love
Q I’m a 22-year-old female and the older I get, the more often I am ridiculed by straight men for being ugly. Just last night, a man asked me if I was jealous of my pretty friends and if I wished I could look like them. I know I’m unattractive, but I’ve met wonderful girls, […]

Savage Love
Q: I am a 23-year-old woman living with my 25-year-old boyfriend. We have been dating for a little more than a year, and for the majority of that time we had a great sex life. Unfortunately, when we decided to move in together we also decided to stop having intercourse until we decide to get […]

Savage Love
Q: I am a heterosexual male in my 20s, and I need some help putting a label on my kink/fetish. I usually don’t care much for labels in any aspect of life, but I’m hoping that knowing what to call this may help me find others who share the same interest: I love it when […]
