spent the weekend in niagara falls, and took a LOT of pics.
my personal favourites were the shoot we did in front of a marineland sign.
we also visited the movieland wax museum, where we took hundreds (literally) of pics all the different celebrities they had there.

they had a madonna, a shania, and even bette "middlar" but no mariah :(

enjoy! u can also see the pics at my actual flickr site!

election day!

anybody who knows anything about me knows that election days are like the super bowl for me. already i have CBC tuned on my tv (though they have yet to even begin their coverage at this point).

i plan on ordering dinner at some point and sitting in front of the tv for hours and wondering how this country of ours could possibly elect *another* conservative government, which is what all the pundits have been saying ad nauseam.

my predictions? conservative minority; conservative & liberal seat count will drop, ndp & bloc will go up. this "dysfunctional" parliament of ours will remain exactly the same; all leaders will stay the course after tonight, though i would expect to hear rumblings of a resignation from dion and possibly harper (if he doesn't get his coveted majority).

let's find out.

and if u haven't already, go VOTE!

a favourite pic


2007-07-31 (050), originally uploaded by Anks McSkanks.

this picture was taken with rhobyn july 31st, 2007. it was me on my balcony (at that time, 25 wood street, 26th floor of the building). since there's no pic of me up on my blog (yet!), i figured what better one than this one.

yay alanis!

saw alanis tonight! was the first and time, and it was SUCH a blast. the highlight for me (other than getting some usher really angry cuz i was using my camera) was the sing-a-long i got to participate in.

imagine 10,000 alanis fans, after having gotten to see alanis perform for 2 hours, on their feet, hands clapping, with alanis trading lines with the audience who is overpowering her.

an old man turned ninety eight
won the lottery and died the next day
it's a blackfly in your chardonnay
a deathrow pardon two minutes two late


i was almost in tears, it was such an awesome experience.

that, and i think i saw the guy who runs
out is through, but i'm not sure it was him. (his blog is absolutely fabulous; he's a big alanis fan and writes about all sorts of neat pop culture stuff.) not sure it was him, but between finding out about that and finding a video of the singalong (at least 20 other people were avidly using their cameras in the front few rows) so i'll hopefully have a link up here soon.
