Video: Crazy Drummers
Remember back in high school when you had those friends who just went overboard with finger or pencil drumming, almost to the point of obsession? Ever wondered what happened to them?

I flew back home to Toronto yesterday and got to use Air Canada's cool new in-seat entertainment systems, where you can choose whatever movie you want. Everybody gets their own little LCD screen. It's touch-sensitive, though the touch sensitivity isn't that good- I had to press volume-up like 100 times to get it to the right level.
I chose to watch this French movie "La Moustache."
It was a hilarious movie (but not a comedy). Basically, a guy cuts off his moustache and goes insane after asking his girlfriend what she thinks of his new "clean look", to which she responds that he never had a moustache in the first place. Who comes up with a plot like that? Seriously?
It's the kind of movie that just blows up in extremeness. I like those movies. :) It leads you wishing, wishing, wishing, that everything will be explained in the end. But of course, as artsy film makers are likely to do, they never tie up all the loose ends, and you are left figuring it out for yourself.
If I had to take a guess, none of the middle part movie is real. The main character, Marc, is just imagining what *might* happen if the people in his life really did insist he never had a moustache. But he never actually shaves his moustache until he's in China at the end.
Fun stuff... and recommended!
The Toronto Star ran an article about lesbian mother and artist Jess Dobkin who will be presenting her work from OCAD, "Lactation Station Breast Milk Bar", where attendees will be served a variety of breast milk.
Now yeah, this is some funky stuff, and I can't say I'd want to see this exhibit myself, but this just reminded me right away of the start of Clockwork Orange and the Korova Milkbar, a favourite hangout of Alex and his friends. If the movie is any indication, adults drinking human milk is definitely NOT a good thing.
Art repeats itself itself all the time, but in this case I'm not sure that's a good thing either!
