Strudel

A weekend that ends with a pretty German woman making strudel for the dinner party is not a bad weekend. I shot faeries and monsters, did a quick appearance at a birthday party, ate zucchini flowers, only got mildly rained on, and had a flash-mob dinner while dressed entirely in white.

I'd say I put it in the plus column.

Salut, le Bon Jack

Jack Layton died this morning.

All my condolences to his family and friends, of course.

What this does to Canadian politics is difficult to say. No matter the power handed to Harper in the parliamentary system, Layton was a force to be reckoned with in having a strong opposing voice people would listen to. I don't know who the NDP can field to match that and fear the media will just drift away from listening to the NDP at all.

Pon Pon

No, I don't know either.
