Monday Morning Musings, Summer Strike Edition

Good morning Monday readers.

I hope that everyone had a good weekend.

I’m starting to see countdowns pop up with regards to Romeo’s birthday. It’s a scary and wondrous thing.

Wake up calls seemed to come early this morning. But, everyone got to work on time and has started their day whether they like it or not.

The plan here today is to write now and Chuck as soon as we’re done. I’ve got episode 3 all set up and ready to go and am rather excited about it.

Watched the MMVA’s last night and it wasn’t a bad way to waste a couple of hours on a Sunday night. I had no other plans, and there wasn’t really anything else on TV that intrigued me. There seem to be a few videos on YouTube of the event. Find them if you wish.

I’ve been spending a bunch of time playing the fishing game on the new iPhone.

I ended up eating a pint of iced cream for dinner last night. Went back to the If I Had 1,000,000 Flavors, it didn’t disappoint.

So, I’m rereading another Batman series right now on the way to and from work and yesterday I had 2 dudes start up conversations about it. The first guy asked for a smoke and was then smart enough to know that even though the title was Batman it was Azrael on the cover. The second guy was drunk and still drinking a tall boy of Keiths on the bus and sat down next to me. He told me that someday he was going to be just like Batman someday and kick crime in the ass. He then sat silently, thinking it seems, before adding that “Hush” was a great Batman series. I told him he was right and then got off of the bus so that I could buy my iced cream.

It’s official, the city of Toronto inside and outside workers have gone on strike. So now the city run daycare’s are closed and there will be no garbage pick up. It’s hot outside and it’s going to be muggy and humid and that means that if the strike lasts long there is going to be a bad stink over the city of Toronto. We only hope that the city and the workers can come to an agreement that works for everyone.

Toronto Pride is in full swing now as today the rainbow flag will be raised at city hall. It’s a pretty awesome world when the largest city in the country will hoist the flag and celebrate the things that bring us all together and make us all one society.

I think we’ll end on that cheery note.

Like wham!
