QotD: Won't You Be My Neighbor?
What are your neighbors like? (The ones you live near or next to, not the ones in your Vox neighborhood!) Toronto at night Where do I even start?! We moved into this condo in July of 2007. It's in a good area, and when we moved in here, I didn't think we would have any…

Little girl blue
Some people tell stories better than others. Today I read a book on the bus that made me cry. The kind of books that make me cry are the ones that sucker punch me in the gut with lines that feel like they were stolen from my consciousness. And so I can’t tell you what book it was that I read…

Apparently…
I found out tonight that a “story” from my grandmother (Kathleen O’Sullivan brn: 1900) might actually be true. Apparently she was the model for the Princess Gates for the CNE Toronto. For the 18 years I knew her, she may not have been talking shit after all. Way to go, Gramma!

No one told me 50 would be this bad.
I never thought hitting 50 would be this bad. In fact, I hit 51 and the thought of going higher repulses me. Before you think I am about to slip down a slippery slope of age-angst, let me stop you right there. The 51 I am talking about is the $51 it cost me today to fill up my Grand Am. For the…

Fresh by Juice for Life
Rich and I hadn’t really intended to go to this popular vegetarian restaurant a few weeks ago. In fact, we had our sights set on stopping at a cafe for a coffee and a snack. However, as we were wandering down Queen West, we noticed the sign for Fresh on Spadina. It only took a few moments for…

The Woman with the Black Tail
A woman, plump, just walked by wearing cream pants and a black leather jacket. She must’ve been wearing a black scarf too, but you couldn’t really tell. All you could see was a black tail dangling between her legs, trapped by her fat thighs. If only her scarf hadn’t been black or her pants…

Game 3 - Thursday 7:30 pm - Magic @ Raptors
Sam Mitchell said on RaptorsTV (specifcially Raptors Today) earlier tonight that he didn't plan on taking Ford out of the starting line-up. However, when asked about Bargnani, he didn't clarify that Bargnani would be starting, which leads me to believe that Andrea will be coming off the bench.…

Take U Out
Last Thursday, we wrote about OCAD's awkward new name—OCAD University—and asked readers to come up with some alternatives. The school, a university since 2006, wants to ditch its college reputation without, well, ditching the "C" in its acronym that stands for "College." Thankfully,…
