Fiesta Del Brantford

Elena’s going away party was fantastic. It didn’t quite turn out like I thought it would, but it was a barrel of laughs. It was a pan-Spanish/Hawaiian theme. Everyone was wearing leighs and sunglasses, while we smacked a piñata. For some reason Lenny wore a wicked sombrero and Sweet William dressed up as a Gaucho. Everything was going great, until some pervert accosted Shabudabu on her way home (which was only a three block walk), and tried to get her to join him in his car while he was masturbating. Way to put a damper on a party jackass.

Jumping Jehosaphat

Everyone HAS to check this out. It was apparently inspired by a movie. A movie which I haven't yet, but plan to someday, see.

The Inconvenient Truth

This afternoon Shabudabu and I watched a really interesting movie at the Rainbow Cinamas. It was called ‘The Inconvenient Truth’ and was essentially a slide show presented by Al Gore. Not knowing anything about Al Gore I was surprised to learn about his life long commitment to stopping global warming. The film really illustrates clearly the planetary changes as a result of global warming, and the human repercussions if we continue on in the direction we’re currently headed.

I don’t know how much longer it’s playing in B-Dot, but I encourage everyone to see it as soon as they can.

Day 4

$ 170

$ 435 or almost $ 14 an hour

We'll see how things go from here, but henceforth I will not be listing my daily earnings! ;)

Day 1: $ 145
Day 2: $ 90

Total : $ 235 or about $ 17 an hour

Day 3: $ 30

Total : $ 265 or about $ 11 an hour

Day 4 has yet to be determined, but I hope upon hope that it’s a lot more like day 1 and a whole lot less like day 3.

At last, a moment.

The past few days have been a whirlwind. Things all started on Canada day, I rode my bike to the park and started taping people to their stilts. (There was a world record attempt for those of you who don’t know) I thought there would be people at the festival that I knew. I was mistaken. I ended up spending the day with a cool Spanish girl named Elena. The next day Shabu and I went to a really awesome music festival in Toronto and saw Amadou et Miriam perform their music live on a beautiful outdoor waterfront stage. After that we ate some ethnic food and shopped in the great international marketplace that had been built of tents.

The next day I hiked 20 kilometres of the Bruce Trail with my brother and his pal. Then I started a new job which is fantastic and allows me to travel around and work at my own pace. That brings us to last night, and the Brantford International Villages festival. We got a whole gang together and danced and drank the night away.

At about 4am this morning, as I got ready for bed, it hit me. . . I am REALLY tired!

Don't get too carried away.
