You have a framed photo of queen Elizabeth in your house?? 

 

Ironically I'm sure (though they do live in Canada, I think they just give them away.)

 

Fun fact, if I'm ever invited over there to DJ my first/last track will be "God Save the Queen" by The Sex Pistols or something equally as offensive.  Abolish the Monarchy!

 

I had a friend with Mao as a fridge magnet.

I do!

 

Of all the things to see in our house that's the thing that gets the most questions and I find it hilarious.

 

I find Queen Elizabeth to be a fascinating figurehead who had lived an interesting life, and though the role of the Monarchy is primarily ceremonial with Parliament stripping the Monarchy of all real power generations ago, she still helped bring the institution into modern day better than I think anyone else could have. With the limitations placed on her and the institution by both British and Commonwealth law I believe she did more net good than bad in this world. 

 

When I received my citizenship in Canada, because HRM Elizabeth Regina was the ceremonial head of state and the figurehead that is the focus of Canadian citizenship my wife thought it would be hilarious to give me a picture of the Queen.

 

I agreed it was hilarious and hung the picture and giggle every time someone looks at it with a look of confusion on their face.

You can get pictures of the Head of State (which is currently HRM Charles Rex) for free through official channels.

 

For the most part Canadians are widely indifferent toward the Monarchy. There are some who are strongly pro, some strongly con, but the majority seem to give it a resounding "meh".

 

The Monarch has limited authority in Canada. Provinces hold more individual power than States do, and Provinces have more control in their day to day than the Canadian Federal Gov't does.

I am sure in case of necessity the people of Québec have „Le Rasoir National“ in the attic. 😜

This is a image of the outfit i was wearing during Liquid Red. Wish I didn't take the spiked hood off so soon after the stage event to get some photos of me in that too.

    • So I just got back from Happy Endings and I saw @DJ Saintthere.  He told me that after I got kicked out of High Dive that later on Mike also attacked him, and Mike and his crew were also kicked out.  Then we talked about the scene and possible upcoming gigs.  I hope something comes his way soon, as well as mine too.  With the current economy I think more club owners will be hungry to try more things like goth/industrial/other alternative nights.  I've also heard that GenZ isn't online dating and is actually going out into the world to meet people which may also help business owners, though they aren't drinking which doesn't really help much.  I think more places are going to need to start serving food and mocktails to make up the difference. Then Mike showed up at Happy Endings which I thought was highly likely because I hadn't seen him there in a while, and @DJ Aaron Hingst,@elektrosonik, and his husband Tim were all there too.  He did something else I wasn't expecting...  Which was he actually shook my hand and said it was good to see me, which caught me a little off guard.  He didn't apologize for anything but it's a start I think.  I told him I was sorry to hear about @djpleasurekitten's passing (which I was/am.  Despite the rift that ended up existing between us we were friends at one point.) So maybe he's moving on finally?  If so then I'm glad.  I'm still not sure if I'll ever go back, but it is at least a start, and it's nice to actually see he's trying to bury the hatchet in something other than my skull.
    • Stargate Universe, which everyone said sucked but I'm actually enjoying it? Like there are less jokes, but lots of dark humor, and people might actually die rather than have 10ft thick plot armor?  Yes please more of this!
    • Failbook is blocked so I can't see any of the info. "Oh you don't need to login to view!" No, you don't understand...  This is my /etc/hosts file:   # Block Meta IPv6 fe80::1%lo0 facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 www.login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.connect.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 www.connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 apps.facebook.com12 # Block Meta IPv4 0.0.0.0 facebook.com ~~~~~ A METRIC FUCKTON OF OTHER FB DOMAINS ~~~~~ 0.0.0.0 zh-tw.facebook.com I had to edit it and cut off many lines because it's 2171 lines long and the overwhelming majority is just Facebook domains. Those IPs for v4 and v6 mean they lead to the HTTP equivalent of /dev/null X/Twitter is blocked too.  I need to block Alphabet/Google and Microsoft as well, but they're actually useful for certain things (damn you YouTube and GitHub!)
