Prod me Prodigy

Excitement all round as I manage to tear myself away from the boringness of work and into the fires of Koolhaus to see Prodigy LIVE! For those of you not in the know prodigy are a bunch of firestarters who would have flown a spitfire in world war 2 given the chance. Quite simply a phenomenom and they were fantastic. Me and my main gal Val dressed hardcore, acted hardcore and tore the roof off the place. Aside from all this I also performed 'what a wonderful world' in a hospital. I was invited. I didn't just wander it and start laying down some hits although there's an idea. Any record companies out there, if you're looking for a headline act look no further than the Sai (Ba) Band. Phenomenal beats, phenomenal style and they have a drum. Its quite big and its pretty heavy. It's a proper drum. So my suggestion for today, put on a bit of dance electronica and let your hair down or perform for your local hospital. Or even do both. A big up (note this expression is not normally used by me) to all my mateys back home. Hope you are enjoying your Easter hols.

A little piece of Scotland

I'm fresh off a phenomenal birthday party for one of my best canadian mateys, Val, which involved me and Joe on stage doing 'Hey Jude' on karaoke. It failed to compare however to Val's tremendous rendition of hit me baby one more time, which involved costumes, dodgy looks from the karaoke oraganiser and her brother rocking out (I believe that is the technical term).

Last night it was the penultimate day before Joes 21st, so in time honoured fashion we took in a Scottish Gig. We saw Belle and Sebastien who were actually really good. The lead singer looked like a mime artist, but heck you can't have everything. It was down at the Docks, which sounds shady and underground. Last time I was there I was frisked. This time I escaped being felt up and managed to take in a great concert. Beer prices in Canada lead a lot to be desired however. 7 dollars for a can of Keiths, what is the world coming too. That was pricier than a G and T, my tipple of choice.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!

Celebrity entrails

Very soon I'm sure to become a celebrity in Canada. I have now been on Canadian TV twice, most recently appearing in a trailer for the Royal Canadian Air Farce - the premier satirical comedy show on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). I had to pretend I was talking to an uber happy Canadian TV presenter before he turned round and spoke to the world wide audience of around 10 million. Check out photos of the studio above.

So thats was the celebrity, here is the entrails - I went to see Body Worlds 2 at the Ontario Science Centre. It was created by that guy who plastinated dead people and turned them into works of art. It was fascinating stuff, but a little creepy. They even had a dead person fencing!

Finally, I was shown this patriotic American Film in the only OmniMax cinema in Ontario. I feel it did not affect me in any way. By the way, have any of you considered joining the US Air Force, its a great opportunity? You get to blow stuff up like tanks and such.

The world is a funny old place!

QUICK FENCING UPDATE:

I have been given a new nickname. Many of you know me as the Penguin Master, many of you refuse to call me that because you believe it is embarassing. Fair dos, but it costs you when birthdays and christmas come around. However, at fencing I am now known as the Ripper for my unorthodox new stance, which looks darn cool. It also gives me the excuse to say when I win "You've been ripped."

INJURY UPDATE:

While ripping I hurt my thumb and made one of my fingers numb for several days. My thumb was bleeding from under the nail. Nasty stuff, but I battled through the injury and won the bout.

LIFE UPDATE:

Today I had a lecture in one of my courses by a cross dresser. Yes you heard that right, will the hilarity of this place never end. He is a Canadian Eddie Izzard and a pretty good lecturer at that. Its not every day you can say something like that.

GRADE UPDATE:

In the style of Ryan I will be bragging slightly via the internet. 94% in my take home exam for philosophy. WOOHOO!!!
