Videoblogging Week 2006 – Day 2: Spiritual

Watch the video

Lately I’ve been reading about the snake handling religions in the Appalachian region. I’m finding myself drawn to extreme acts of spirituality. The Gossip played here in Toronto last week and when I go to their shows I get that same feeling of letting go that I think the snake handlers feel. It’s not all-consuming, but I do give myself up to just enjoying the ride that is Beth Ditto’s voice.

Check out the Gossip’s new album "Standing in the Way of Control" and see for yourself.

Videoblogging Week 2006 – Day 1: Gum

Watch the video

Recently my dentist told me to go ahead and eat gum (sugarless, of course) because it wasn’t going to hurt my teeth – even though for years I avoided gum because of my TMJ (term for screwed up jaw).

In becoming a gum chewer, I’ve been trying out lots of varieties & flavours.  Lately I’ve noticed that gum doesn’t have a flavour so much as a brand image – there’s these new gums by Excel that are called "Voltage" and "Crash" – what does that TASTE like?

Anyway, yesterday I got suckered into impulse buying this new packaging for Juicy Fruit – 60 pieces of gum in one container.  No bubble packs that you have to bust the little things out of.  Now normally I take two pieces of gum at a time because I hate the size & the quick loss of flavour you get with one.  With 60 pieces of already unwrapped gum….well – you see what happens.
