Dangerous Creatures
So there I yesterday, in the kitchen, and one of Australia's most deadly critters came marching along the counter. This was my first encounter with aredback spider. I managed to trap it under some glass to take a photo of it, but as you can see, it was a harrowing experience...
- red back spider
Then, all of his buddies showed up. I think I must have disturbed a nest in the kitchen some where.
- The Nest of Redbacks
Points to anyone that notes the David Bowie spider. He's my favorite. I hope he gets eaten last. Where when most people say that they are doing baking before Christmas, it usually means gingerbread, fruitcake or cookies. Not in my family. My mom and I go and make spider cupcakes... this is why my family is cooler than yours.

Rum and Egg-Snog!
So in the spirit of the Christmas season, I've fixed the problem I normally have at this time of year to singing carols. I just take a sacred favorite and change the words to suit my lifestyle choices.
These G-Strings
( sung to the tune of "We Three Kings")
These g-strings of raciness are,
covered with my sparkly art!
Kind of whorey, but not boring.
Sure to make the crowd go RAWR!
(Chorus)
O Swarovski crystals, small and bright -
Hope the glue will hold you tight.
Running low, but I've got a show -
Looks good in the spotlight.
Okay, now add a verse of your own now.
Seasons beatings,

Wolfgang, The Poolboy
I've made a new friend, sort of. He's small, sort of shy (but kind of pervert) and has really hairy legs. He hangs out by my parents pool all day and watches me swim and occasionally is good enough to fish some gross bug out of the pool that's drowned and eat it for me. I'm talking about Wolfgang, the Huntsman Spider. It didn't really start out as a good relationship. The first time we met, he was by the fountain and I was swimming, so my face was more or less eye level with him (in all his six inches of glory). I screamed because a) I'm not used to having spiders half a foot from my face and b) we made eye contact. Of course, I screamed and he did what any sensible person would do, and that's run and hide, and I can't say I blame him. But he has proven to be a curious little bugger and very interested in my swimming habits and always comes and sits at dusk and watches me paddle in the pool. If it's been a windy day, or the Insect Suicide Hotline had a bad day and the pool is full of soggy bugs, I flick them in his direction and he disposes of them in his own way. Like any animal that gets used to you feeding it, he's come to associate my splashing with snacks and has thusly been keeping the pool free of the usual wasps, flies and lesser spiders. I daresay he even enjoys the Metric and Chromeo I splash around too and is quietly bobbing his head to the sweet techno grooves. For anyone not au fait with what a Huntsman Spider looks like, check out this video on YouTube to see what I'm dealing with... [youtube= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCO56iyBXtU] So due to his clearing the pool of bug my mom has taken to calling him out Poolboy. And he works cheap too... I only hope he doesn't get too friendly and try to join me but after seeing the fate of nearly all other insects around who get the overwhelming desire to play Ophelia, he may have taken note. Or else at least started fashioning a very small rowboat. G'Night. Little Miss Risk |

Happy Mail
I like it when people send us good news. Gone are the days of getting fan mail (at least to us - all the kids are writing to the cast of the Twighlight series these days) but occasionally something pops up on our radar when someone says something nice about us in either an email or a blog. It makes us feel warm and fuzzy and floods us with the feeling ofwell-being and goodwill towards our audience.
In fact, the only time I can really recall someone ever really saying anything negative about us on a blog was Carolyn Mark who referred to our show as "sludgeabilly with strippers". I took exception to that since it was on the Mint Records corporate site (really pro, guys) and that say what you like, but you must have been mistaking us for another show - to my knowledge we don't have strippers in our show - just demented showgirls and performance artists. However, it all worked itself out in the end.
A few years later Carolyn Mark was hosting the Big Time Out in Cumberland, BC where we were also playing. During the portion of our show where I emcee, preach, and so on, I invited her out onstage, purely with the intention of giving her a few shots of Jagermeister. I have heard that she likes a drink and concluded that Jager would make an appropriate peace-offering. Apparently, I sounded like I was going to rip off her head and spit down her neck, because I was told she locked herself in a Port-a-Potty and refused to come out until after I'd left the stage. I'm guessing that she wasn't familiar with my stage patter and that to the uninitiated, it can be a little scary sometimes. Or kind of sludgeabilly...
So anyways, back to happy mail... John had sent me this and it was a nice reminder that sometimes, we get it right. Cheers, man and we'll hopefully see you again this summer with the skeleton crew.
There's that fuzzy feeling again...

Early Birthday Gift by Italian Artist Federico Rossi Edrighi
This is the third time I have received incredible art from my friend, Federico as a birthday gift!
Adoro, Adoro, ADORO!
Sta photo i bella-bella-bella-bellissima! ^_^
Grazzi mille Federico! Mi manchi mi amico!
My friendship with Federico started just over eight years ago. We were co-running a CHANGELING: THE DREAMING game (from White Wolf's World of Darkness systems) on an RPG website. We clicked rather instantly and would spend hours online creating new story ideas for our players and we both gained a huge respect for our creative minds. Federico had an comic book series published over in Italy for awhile, but the company eventually went under. I used to help edit some of his work in English, particularly helping him with the use of slang and cultural expressions. For awhile, we began playing with the idea of making our own online comic series together, but nothing made it to the storyboard. Federico now works for a very successful animation company in Rome, Italy and I had the pleasure of spending a few weeks with him, his family and his friends back in the Spring/ Summer of 2008 when I traveled through Europe for a few months. I hope he makes it to Canada soon, so that I can return the hospitality he had shown me! As you can see, the man is exceptionally talented! He even got the tattoos on my fingers! I am so in love with this drawing! LOL! *sigh* this picture makes me miss Europe so much! I long to return... Current Mood:  contemplativeCurrent Music: COVENANT- After Hours |

World's Largest...
It would seem that Australians, much like North Americans, when confronted by large expanses of space share one thing in common. They fill up the space either with really ugly big box stores, or they build large ridiculous roadside attractions. Then they fill up the space between the attractions and the box stores with gas stations and fast food restaurants. Actually the only place that they really do that is Canada and the USA, not so much the Aussies - yet.
While there is some debate as to which is the largest lobster in the world between the lobster in Shediac, NB and the one in Islamorada, FL (aka "Betsy") hands down the one in Australia wins. The Big Lobster sits at the northern entrance to Kingston in the South East of Australia and also has a cafe conveniently located underneath it. All in all, if I ever became obnoxiously wealthy (we're talking Bill Gates wealthy) I'd love to buy all three and possibly organize the world's first world's largest lobster swap. I'd probably increase the already stellar roadside attraction traffic, I'm sure. ( "Hey honey, look! It's Betsy, but she's in Kingston - Neat! Let's get a photo") I only know because when the band is on tour I'm the one tugging at sleeves saying "Oh can we please stop... there's the world's largest baseball bat over there!"
I'm sure all my European friends are shaking their heads at me. This is because space is at a premium in Europe and you can't walk 12km before running into someone's house, a town or a city of some kind. In the USA, Canada and Australia there is almost nothing but space, except in major urban centers where people would rather crush on top of one another rather than branching out. Please refer to the human density problem in Vancouver, Toronto and getting stuck in Seattle rush hour traffic. So these three powerful nations do what anyone does with extra space: we fill it up. I'm just pleased that we seem to opt for such goofy things like the world's largest Popcorn Ball (Iowa City, IA) and world's largest nickel (Sudbury, ON). The Aussies have elevated it to a new level though. They have the following spread across their vast sprawl:
The Big Banana (Coff's Harbor)
The Big Pinapple (Queensland)
The Big Buffalo (Dawin)
The Big Cow (Nambor)
The Big Elephants (Wollgoolga)
The Big Rocking Horse (Gumeracha)
The Big Koala (Victoria)
There's more too, which impresses me. I love how the Aussies call their attractions "Big" instead of "World's Largest" even though many of their attractions are quite larger than the "World's Largest". It's just the same as anytime we move into a larger apartment and all of a sudden we're confronted with this extra space and what to do with it. I think this makes me a contender in that respect for the world's largest dust bunny, but I doubt I can sell that as a tourist attraction to the 2010 Olympics crowd. But then again, they are also travelling that far to see people launch themselves off of ices chutes and to see millionaire beat the crap out of each other in ice skates, so why not try?

Went to the ER last night, had a filling fall out awhile back and I guess it got infected? Didn't have to wait too long, was given the strongest drugs I've ever had - Percocet, took 2 of those...by the time Alan drove me home they were already starting to kick in, pain was a tiny bit less, mostly it felt like I was trying to walk in a bouncy castle and got progressively worse over time :P Jeezus....I didn't even attempt to leave my room once I got in and I was afraid of getting out of my computer chair to go to my bed, the world was so tilty. Didn't wake up until about 20mins ago and I'm still groggy T_T Left an incohearant e-mail last night saying I wouldn't be into work today T_T Current Mood:  drained |
