Ottawa XPress – Shotgun – June 2, 2005 What do you get when you cross a computer-savvy sexy lady and a difficult divorce? A kick-ass website called Heartless Bitches International (HBI) at www.heartlessbitches.com. But hold up. Before you stop reading and assume HBI is just another bitter-girl break-up feel-good sisterhood club, think again. This is […]

Ottawa XPress – Shotgun – May 19, 2005 The Victoria Day long weekend is here again. And I have to ask myself: What does the English Queen Victoria – credited with little humour à la “we are not amused,” wearing a lace cap and symbolizing an age of Victorian repression – have to do with […]

Ottawa XPress – Shotgun – May 12, 2005 Shy of being a total starfucker, I just can’t help it: I heart rock stars. Hell, I can’t say I’ve ever ran as many errands about town as I have this month hoping for a chance encounter with big star Howe Gelb of Giant Sand, rumoured to […]

Ottawa XPress – Shotgun – April 14, 2005 Who said Ottawa has no style? Couldn’t have been the students of cool arts school Canterbury High, who recreated an event in early April “worthy of New York’s Fashion Week,” according to organizer Kristal Felea, a Grade 11 drama student at the school. “The event was wonderful, […]

Ottawa XPress – Shotgun – April 7, 2005 What was more embarrassing than getting a woody right as the teacher asked you to go up to the blackboard? Try being initiated into womanhood in grade school and starting your period-in a pair of white slacks. I remember when I was in grade 6, I witnessed […]

Ottawa XPress – Shotgun – March 31, 2005 You’re being so tough to me like a leather jacket I know you’ll have no sissies No baby you just wouldn’t hack it gotta be a strong man to carry the beautiful burden of your love no sissies get your love no slackers get your love no […]

Ottawa XPress – Shotgun – March 24, 2005 I heard on CBC television the other day about a new experimental therapy for people suffering from severe depression. It involves embedding a chip in the C25 region of the brain. The chip interacts with electrodes and a pacemaker implanted under the collarbone somehow. With this therapy, […]
