agentotterDid you know that Eddie Izzard decided to become a marathon runner for charity? Did you know that he ran 43 marathons in 51 days? Do you know that that makes me feel like the laziest person on the planet? Have you seen Run, Fatboy, Run, and if so do you think that Eddie found it inspiring? Did you know that Eddie will be touring in the US and Canada in 2010? (I'm sure those of you in the UK already know about the UK and European dates.) I looked at tickets for Oakland, but I'm not made of money, so I refrained. I still love you, Eddie. I do.
Anyway, I'll be getting enough of entertainment. Mal and I are going to see Great Big Sea and Mark Knopfler in concert. Er, not at the same show, though. That would certainly have been something.
Speaking of music, have any of you heard this guy Ashley MacIsaac? He's insanely good. He's so good I almost cried. And then I googled him and found pictures of him kissing his husband and then I maybe did tear up a little. CANADA, HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME?
In less awesome news, I was reading this and it was both awesome and made me want to cry. I got the part with a picture of a protester holding a sign that said "Keep Waterboarding" and went on to suggest that we use it on, among others I couldn't actually read, Nancy Pelosi. And it gave me a GREAT IDEA. Here it is: next time one of these rallies is held, let's hire some former military interrogator who knows how to do a "proper" job of waterboarding. We'll set up a booth and put a sign up that says "FREE WATERBOARDING!" And then we'll just sit back and wait for the pro-torture advocates to flood in. Because if you're for torture, you must be for BEING tortured! I'm pretty sure that's a rule. We'll be totally busy, and when things really pick up, we can start charging $5 a pop and make a mint. Fuck yeah.

I'll definitely check out Ashley MacIsaac.
Your idea for the booth would actually make for some pretty awesome street theater, I think. :D
