Remembering Pedro Zamora Of “The Real World: San Francisco” | NewNowNext
November 11 marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Pedro Zamora. For some of you that name might not mean anything, but for those of us who came of age in the 1990s, he put a very real face on the AIDS crisis.

When culture goes corporate, Canada’s creativity suffers - The Globe and Mail
"Not so long ago “arts and culture” was all one needed to say when talking about the country’s story-tellers, actors, film makers, dancers, artists, poets, and musicians. Everyone knew what you meant. Then it became “the cultural sector,” now the buzzword is “cultural industries.”"

PISCES – The Partner for Life (February 19 to March 20) Caring and kind. Smart. Likes to be the center of attention. Very organized. High appeal to opposite sex. Likes to have the last word. Good to find, but hard to keep. Passionate, wonderful lovers. Fun to be around. Too trusting at times and gets hurt easily. VERY caring.

Good sense of humor!! Thoughtful. Loves to joke. Very popular. Silly, fun and sweet. Good friend to others but needs to be choosy on who they allow their friends to be. 5 years of bad luck if you do not share this post.

Teens caught renting 616-hp McLaren 12C with stolen credit card | Motoramic - Yahoo Autos
"It used to be the case that if you walked up to a rental-car counter and were under the age of 25, the transaction would typically not end with you getting a set of keys. Most rental-car agencies allow younger renters today, but they keep their crash-prone hands off the high-end models.
All of which only adds to the mystery of the arrest this weekend of two California teen-agers, who were pulled over after renting not just a $12 million vacation home, but a $240,000 McLaren 12C — all with stolen credit cards, and apparently limitless chutzpah."

"As a subset of all the feelings we are forced to numb ourselves to, we “lose touch” with how our bodies feel. We learn, sometimes literally, to harden ourselves against pain, strain, and physical effort. The training to “act like a man” is present when young boys are encouraged to ignore physical injuries, not to cry, to bear the pain and go on as if nothing happened."

“Well played,” he said before, after a lengthy pause, answering: “Should we win anything at all, I’m from Quebec and Quebec is in Canada as a matter of fact we know for sure. Whatever my political views are, I feel my movie is very Quebecois… For me, it’s not about a country or a province, which [are concepts] my generation don’t relate to. It would be an extraordinary message for people of my generation, which I think is filled with a message of hope. But I’d rather brace for nothing and worry about getting up that damned carpet tonight.”

Let's save "gay icon" and the rest for those who've really earned it, like Betty White."

"As the woman in the audience was not responding to any thing Sally was saying, she decided to ask how the woman in the photo was related to her. It turns out the woman in the audience got the whole concept of submitting a picture of someone you wanted to talk to from the afterlife completely wrong – and for some unknown reason submitted a younger picture of herself."
