Gay Mounties Get Married


Well, here it is. Finally the two cuties from the maritimes are getting hitched, gay style. The Globe and Mail are covering it HERE. Halifax’s Chronical Herald is covering it HERE.

Meanwhile, our “wonderful” Prime Minister Stephen Harper has issued a gag order to his MPs, instructing them not to comment on the Mounties’ marriage. This is the same man who’s promising a “Free Vote” in the Commons this fall in an attempt to repeal gay marriage. According to a recent poll, only 27% of all Canadians want the issue re-opened. So why is he doing it?

The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police or just Mounties) are doing it right. They’re supporting the marriage, being happy and positive about it. Comments like “It’s the law, so we respect that” by one spokesperson make it questionable exactly where they stand on it, but general support for the couple is strong.

Reportedly, I’m on of many, many bloggers flogging this issue right now. Well, more power to everyone. I’m just happy to see good news. Don’t let Chris know this is going on, he’ll expect me to propose all the sooner. Err… Love you Christopher.

Next, you know how phone companies keep pestering you to see if you want to buy more of their service? And you yell at them and tell them never to call? How bad does the CSR feel? Imagine how the CSR felt after this call.

Prince William gets a nude-portrait birthday gift from his girlfriend!


Prince William gets a nude-portrait birthday gift from his girlfriend!
London: Though Kate Middleton is having a full-fledged affair with Britain’s Prince William, her dreams of being a part of the royal family may just have turned more distant, after what she did at William’s 24th birthday bash.

Kate has reportedly outraged Queen Elizabeth II by gifting her grandson his nude portrait on his birthday (21June06).

The picture features the happy couple in a naked embrace, with their modesty covered by a strip of red silk.

“Her Majesty hasn’t seen the painting yet. But her advisors have described it to her and she is disgusted,” Femalefirst quoted a royal source, as telling Britain’s Daily Star newspaper.

“One presumes Kate and William have got to know each other in the bedroom but for Kate to blatantly announce it in a raunchy painting goes beyond the bounds of decency in the queen’s eyes,” the source added.

The monarch has apparently advised the young lovers to take their relationship more seriously, warning William that, as the future King, he should be careful to protect his reputation.

But, the prince on the other hand, unaffected by his grandmom’s advice, has appreciated his lover’s romantic gesture and has decided to hang the painting on his bedroom wall.

“It was art that united them in the beginning, so Kate thought it would be appropriate to commemorate their four-year relationship with this romantic painting,” said another source.

Happy Birthday To Me

Today I turned 38. Woohoo!

I really haven’t got much more to say right now, but I’ve got 2 years to prepare for turning 40, and figuring out what to do with my life at that point. It seems like I should be doing MORE….

The Brady Bears

I found this video on YouTube and thought it was pretty cute.

A little risque, but that’s what makes it so wrong, in all the right ways.
