Poor Laura

Last night, I didn't get a chance to read House of Leaves OR finish watching City of Lost Children. Instead, I went to Chapters with Irina and helped her buy Spanish for Dummies and the latest edition of Collin's Spanish Grammar.

I know we're supposed to hate large chain bookstores like Chapters, but if Pages on Queen St. or any of the used book stores around here put out chairs like Chapters does, I'd go all the time. I really like trying out my books before I buy them. They're so expensive these days, and there's nothing like an unread book on your bookshelf to make you feel like a real donkey. Especially if they're these Pulitzer types like The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay that has this great comic-booky cover, but I just can't get into it, and I can't help but wonder - is it me? Maybe I just don't like reading anymore. Then I find books like House of Leaves and Einstein's Dreams and I'm taking it with me everywhere from the office to the crapper and from the first day I start reading til I'm finished, it's like I'm living two lives in two worlds.

So nothing like some good old fashioned kiddie porn in the morning right? We downloaded a file last night that was supposed to be a bunch of Mr. Oizo videos, and instead it was hundreds of files named "laura" depicting a girl who is obviously under 18 in all kinds of nude poses. I've been looking up different anti child pornography groups to contact to notify them of this file. It is seriously some sick shit man... I'm just glad it wasn't children!!! I probably would have cried all day. Anyway, I'm sending out the proper information out to Crime Stoppers and the ASACP, and hopefully they can help "laura". Her face haunts me. Her eyes were so big and sad, but she still had this little smile on her face and she is far far far too young to be exposed naked all over the net. Who knows when those pictures were taken and who knows where she is right now. Who knows who the perverted photographer was who did this to her.

How can I have talk about Chapters and child porn in the same post? Well, I needed to write about something besides "laura" to distract myself. Seriously, since seeing what I saw this morning, I feel really fucked up. I won't feel better til I the right people have been contacted. DIE PEDOPHILES!

Yeah, when I was looking for pictures to fill-out [insert name of adult web-site here] I ran across some really disturbing, stomach-kicking images of too-young-naked people portrayed in the wrong way. I mean we are adults and can tolerate nakedness, nudity, and unclothedness, and I'm against the sick fucks that wanna send parents to jail for tub-shots and in-the-buff-memorabilia-shots, but as one human being to another we are readers of faces and expressions and emotions and when it's "wrong" you know it immediately.

My time was in a purposely anonymous situation, but good for you for trying to track down the source . . . let us know how it goes.

And,
just last night I was telling my girlfriend that I wanted to spend the night hanging-out in chapters in downtown toronto. . . kinda' funny. . .

i feel bad that i can't do more, but i don't want my computer confiscated and questioned about my downloading habits. =( after i send out the letters to the police and the anti-child-porn orgs, i probably won't ever know what they're going to do about it, or even if they can track it down to the person who did it. i feel like i'm about to send a rescue note in a bottle out to sea.

the chapters at John & Richmond is the nicest because of the seats by the window on the third floor. wish that Montana bar wasn't there blocking the view though.

I once got kicked out of that place by a big security guard for walking up the "down" side of the escalator while dressed up in full clown gear. It was great! The poor guy was really aprehensive about aproaching me cause I looked like a raging pychopath and it just never looks good to get into a public confrontation with a clown. . . but I was being a total nuisance to the customers, so I went easy on 'em. I yelled out "you just don't want me in here cause I'm a clown. . . Rascist!!!" and then left quietly.

Born to do it.

HAHAhahahaha!

sorry, thats fuckin funny. pig mask and all. I never heard that part of the downtown clown story.

Every single time i go to Chapters i end up in the kids section for hours. that, or science. just something about amoebas and the table of elements i guess...and darwin. Its like a choose your own evolution section. Apparently darwins wife was a very devout catholic, and prayed for his soul everyday. I wonder if that affected his dreams.

oh! airshow begins at The Ex today, i hear the planes roaring across the sky as i type! min-o can you hear that lovely sound on your last day?
How exciting.

:P
