a party I was at in the paper: “…a dear friend of mine threw a martini-drenched surprise B-day bash for his (biological) girlfriend just last weekend. Now, I knew all the mainly straight partygoers there quite well, of course (a few number among my most fabulous friends and drinking buddies), a cast of this city’s finest dancers, musicians, journalists and divine rogues, including the owners of two of the hottest and hippest nightspots in the city.”
I guess I’m a divine rogue, which suits me just fine.
When I was in grad school
I read a lot of Jean Baudrillard, and he remains one of the few theorists I still read from time to time – my tolerance for academic work has gone way down. Feed has published a review of The Vital Illusion, the latest of his works translated into English. I read a bit of it in French last year, but it’ll be fun to read it in English as well – there are some pretty good translations of Baudrillard out there.
It seems that
the 5K contest has landed at a new home with a brand new website. It’s now called the5k.org and it’s apparently a “Metafilter network member site”. The site itself looks really great – particularly the contest participant pages. On a single page you get a description of the site, a button with which to launch it in a new window, a way to initiate discussion about the entry inline, and a rating box on the right. [via Ed]
To continue with
the Montreal theme of today’s entries, it turns out that The Old Brewery Mission has a website.
For more than 110 years, the Old Brewery Mission has cared for those suffering the greatest need in the City of Montreal. In times of economic decline and in times of relative prosperity, the Old Brewery Mission has provided safe shelter, nourishing meals and personal contact for those who, for whatever reason, are unable to care for themselves and have nowhere else to go.
If you live in Montreal and are looking for a worthy cause to support, take a look at the Old Brewery.
I’ve set up
BlogVoices, the inline discussion infrastructure that has been developed by chrish – it’s under the little “discuss” link at the bottom of each post. I don’t know if it’s going to fit in as I would like, but I guess that will come clear over time. Test it out and let me know what you think.
