Let’s talk about ex
Aw, cripes. I can just see you guys rolling your eyes right now. You know I am not a fan of puns, but there wasn’t a better way to put it. My boyfriend and I were talking about exes recently, and we both had different ideas. Additionally, my sister and I were talking about being friends with your ex. Have you figured out this week’s theme is yet?
Let’s talk about ex…es. Exes. Crap, no more puns.

Age ain’t nothing but a number
Well in this day and age, cupid seems to have targeted his love arrows at just about anyone. Relationships come in all sorts of sizes, colours, sexual orientations, and ages as well. Now typically the norm is men being older than women in a heterosexual relationship, but it seems as though an age revolution has occurred and crossed boundaries with its “no age-limit policy”. It has become more common to notice older women dating younger men, but what reasons would trigger going backwards in age for a scrumptious young male tart?

The Dyke Does the St. Jamestown Delicatessen
By Kelly Wilk
Rating 2/4 Flags: 
OR 2/4 Cabbagetown Flags: 
Strolling once again in Cabbagetown my partner and I came across a charming looking Butcher shop called St. Jamestown Steak & Chops with a Delicatessen next door. Sources from Toronto Life said this small-scale wonder has been in operation since 1971 and I was told that it now belongs to the son of the previous owner. Wandering through the shop our eyes were treated to the sight of fresh and colourful vegetables, cheese, stacks of dry goods and some excellent looking cuts of organic meat. It was enough to make you want to have a B.B.Q.
film/dvd review: “pan’s labyrinth” directed by guillermo del toro
AT THE CINEMA
With Ron Boyer
***** Pan’s Labyrinth (2006). If you’re curious, but haven’t seen it yet, now is the time to enjoy one of the truly outstanding films of the last year, recently released on DVD. Directed by Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (No, not Benicio del Toro, the actor-the other one!), Pan’s Labyrinth was my favorite film last year. Nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film, Pan’s Labyrinth lost out to the equally brilliant and socially-relevant drama The Lives of Others, arguably the two most important films of 2006.

Dark Prince I Beseech You
I am the god of hell fire, and I bring you
Fire, I’ll take you to burn
Fire, I’ll take you to learn
I’ll see you burn
“Lord of Chaos, lend me your ear as I cut it off. Let the blood rain down, spoil and rot. This epoch will be for you my lord. This era will be for our new love.” Sound familiar? Um… There are lots of paths to true love and there is no good or bad way of getting there. You do what makes you happy, what fulfills you, regardless of what friends or family may think. That’s what love is all about: abandon – giving yourself to another, transcending race, class or expectations for something purer with your partner.
I’m going to the Taste of the Danforth, are you?
With the many events that happen in and around Toronto, this weekend hosts one of the biggest. It is the Taste of the Danforth running from Friday Aug, 10-12. For many years now, my family and I have gone down to enjoy the tastes, sounds, entertainment and shopping that this area of Toronto features.
