New Mayor.

As some of you may have heard, Rob Ford is Toronto's new mayor. It's a dark day in Toronto. However, luckily he needs 23 votes for something to pass. My concern is the streetcars.

Streetcars carry twice as many people as buses. When I was downtown yesterday, I had to wait ten minutes for a streetcar that made me late for an appointment. If I had to wait any longer for a second bus, I would have been home really late. I'm thinking of doing a protest to save the streetcars. Help me out, please.

On the news last night, someone said that they should stick Ford on a bike in order for him to sympathize to the cyclists. Also, he should go out to an independent movie once and a while. These things would help Ford enter what Toronto represents instead of staying in his own world in Etobicoke.

I'm still sick, but all my suggestions have been helping a lot.

I've been coughing up flem, and I think I'm losing my voice. Here are some tips if you're stuck with this stupid cold as well:

-don't drink or eat any dairy products

-mix oregano oil in orange juice

-take vitamins and cold fx

-sleep

-drink peppermint tea with honey

Hope you all feel better!

Tap Workshop!

On Sunday morning, I took a "Basic/Intermediate" Tap class with Everett Smith. For anyone who doesn't know who he is, he was one of the final 4 on So You Think You Can Dance Canada last year. It was so much fun, yet super insane. The second we started doing toe taps at a triple speed, I knew this was not going to be basic. I did learn some cool new stuff, though. I learned slides, how to do some cool stuff on your toes, and some other things that I forget the names of. Too bad I didn't get any pictures. I had to rush off to another class after.

Oh, I forgot to mention Thanksgiving. How was everyone's? Mine was filled with family fun. I saw my great-grandmother, my grandpa, my step-grandma, my grandma, my two cousins, and my two uncles. In between all of that I had three different pumpkin pies.

That's about it.

Enrique Iglesias - Hero: Literal Version

These seem to be the new thing. If anyone watched CTV a few days ago, you should know what I'm talking about. These are called literal music videos. The first original one was to "Safety Dance". Enjoy!
