Right now in our neighborhood is the Junction Arts Fest, and since Nefarious absolutely loves street festivals we went up there for supper… Among other things, she caught a show by Toronto Aerial Dance, after which she got to take part in a quick workshop. She’s been asking me to sign her up for courses at Toronto School of Circus Arts (just to be clear these are two separate schools offering circus-related programs) and is even more sure after playing on the hoop and seeing this show and the busker festival a couple weeks ago — they have a kids aerial and acrobatics class that I think would be right up her alley… [picture by Caitlin]
Strange thing as I was walking through the crowd — a group of kids, maybe nine years old or so, came up to me and one of the kids asked me, “do you still have your eye tattoo? can I see it?”… So I showed him, and he was like, “see, I told you that you can tattoo your eye!” to all his friends, feeling quite vindicated it seems… I didn’t remember him but I’m assuming it must have been a kid that I saw in the park or something.
Along those lines, when I was at Morrissey’s Magic Shop the other day they had a pair of stuffed kissing pigs with magnets in the noses on the counter, so I was like “oh, let me show you something neat” to the guy at the counter, and I touched my finger to the pigs nose and had him follow me across the counter without me pushing him. The guy looked at me totally stunned until I told him about the magnet implant.

I’ve always wondered if your magnet implants caused mineral deposits. I know that seems strange, but I have heard that cows are fed magnets in order to draw all the bad magnetic stuff they eat into one area. (I don’t know if that is true- I haven’t asked a farmer yet)
To P7TMS: Yes, they do. It’s usually referred to as “Hardware Disease”. If an animal is doing poorly for no apparent reason, you can feed them a powerful magnet, on the theory that any metal the ingested that is irritating them will stick to it and be passed. Just in case you actually wanted to know :)
Why would you go to a magic shop? You are a magic emporium. But seriously, whyyyyyyy? I find magical things all around, as a daily occurance almost and find it so neat when they prove applicable, eventually.
Anyway, at a magic shop it denotes a lack of faith that the guy was so surprised.
Joan is right- You’re just a big kid!
When I was little I went to circus camp down in Queens Quay harbourfront. A guy from Cirque de soleil taught me how to walk a tight rope. Neato!
