Carolina's Bytch An Extinct Breed

Right now I am fighting to stay awake. My recent bout with insomnia has me feeling exhausted. Sure it's beneficial, no sleeping means more time to write. Not sleeping also allows me to think, too much. I should be using my brain power to come up with devious plans on how to take over the world, or write, or finish off my second book proposal, rather than do that, the last two nights I have been trying to figure out why I have this awful pit in my stomach, again.

Heather Wood Happily ever after… or not.

Earlier this year two University of Pennsylvania researchers, Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers, released a paper called "The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness".

Romy Shiller Double Standard?

When I'm good I'm very, very good but when I'm bad I'm better.
- Mae West

Maybe this is a booty call. Do females do that? Do I care? I think many women are worried about seeming desperate or as being perceived as a slut. Do males worry about those things? Dictionary.com defines double standard as "[a] set of principles permitting greater opportunity or liberty to one than to another, especially the granting of greater sexual freedom to men than to women."

I have always been prone to writing pro and con lists when undecided about things that my head is quite decided about.

2009 Toronto Zombie Walk Fiendraiser

On July 18, the dead shall rise and descend on the Smiling Buddha Bar for the second annual Toronto Zombie Walk Fiendraiser.

Prepare for an evening of ear-splitting monster bands and spooktacular giveaways. All the money raised from the Fiendraiser will go towards the operating costs of this year's Toronto Zombie Walk.

Only seven people attended the first Zombie Walk, held in Toronto in 2003, but the ghoulish plague has since spread across the globe. Zombie Walks are now held throughout Canada, the United States, England, Australia and Israel. Last year's sixth annual Toronto Zombie Walk drew a record-breaking crowd of over 2,000 living dead!

The Zombie Walk is now bigger than ever. Organizers have been forced to obtain permits to stage this year's walk, scheduled for October 24th.

The Toronto Zombie Walk Fiendraiser will be held at The Smiling Buddha Bar (961 College St. W) on the ghoulish night of July 18th. Doors open at 9 p.m. Bands include The Screamagers {http://www.myspace.com/screamagers}, The Ralcones {http://www.myspace.com/raclones} and Skullians {http://www.myspace.com/skullians}.
Plus special end of the night set with Horror Biz!
