Ciaran and I went out to visit my brother and his wife out in St. Thomas. On our way out of the city, we stopped to pee at a Highway 401 McDonald's. What a creepy logo for the change-table, huh? Plus the soap in the bathroom said, "McDonald's Anti-Microbial Handwash". Did you know that McDonald's makes hand wash? It's a similar recipe to their special sauce...now made with 100% "real" soap!

In other news...we went to this great Mexican restaurant when we were visiting, but I kept laughing at the menu because one of the items was "Fish Tacos". Anyway, they had excellent mojitos at this restaurant, which was kind of funny because it's hard to get a good mojito in the city and we find one out in tiny St. Thomas, Ontario. And yes, it is a tiny town. Doubt its ruralness? A photo I took of a man in the local grocery store.

Any "If you can't run with the big dogs..." tee-shirts make me cringe. Almost as much as No Fear bumper stickers. Or those bumper stickers that show Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) pissing on a Ford logo. There were lots of those on cars at my high school. Side note: I used to read Calvin and Hobbes when I was really young and I thought his names was pronounced "Hobb-ees". Again, I was a bright child.

Later last night at my brother's place, Ciaran and Ann had gone to sleep and we were watching this show about people with super abilities, like this blind artist and this guy who didn't feel cold, and people with synesthesia, which are people who can see sounds as colour and taste sounds too. It was crazy shit! There was this one woman who could taste music, like certain notes would create certain tastes (bitter, sweet, etc.) on her tongue. Anyway, during the show she met another synesthesist who could also taste sounds, but he could taste words, not music. So they met and the guy was weird, like all over-eye-contact-y and he was TOTALLY hitting on her! He was all, "tell me your name so I can taste it", it was really creepy and my brother and I were killing ourselves laughing. Later in the program he told her she tasted like like chocolate. It was really gross.
