Complaining With Kay

My take on Julian Assange et al. Please don't listen if you're under 18 and a virgin. For that reason I will not be posting this to Facebook.

- Also, dude was invading my personal space the entire time.

- I just want to ask mankind, do your balls need that much air at all times? You can't just keep your legs together for 10 minutes? Because girls do.

- It's a magazine-length magazine-style compilation of ads for housing developments.

- I noticed something weird: lots and lots of white people. Like, an unusually large number of white people.

PEOPLE PICTURED IN THIS MAGAZINE VS. THE ACTUAL DEMOGRAPHY OF TORONTO:

TOTAL: 94

78 (83%) White

(actual: 52.4% White)

9 (9.5%) Black

(actual: 8.4% Black)

7 (6.5% Asian or South Asian)

(27.5% Asian or South Asian: 12% South Asian, 11.4% Chinese, 4.1% Filipino)

Not pictured: Latin Americans

(actual 2.6%)

62% female

(actual: 52% female)

Conclusion: WTF?

- out of 9 Black people, only 2 were dudes

- perhaps because to Toronto Sun readers, Black man=Crime

- white people/Britishness="Classy"

TOTALLY FUCKED UP

- HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO.

- I wish I had an excuse for not podcasting for 5 months, but I don't.

- I had a lovely time, while Toronto was turned into something...out of Robocop.

- People still think that it's totally OK for the police to randomly arrest you, and if you ride a bicycle and you get killed that's totally your fault.

- She could have had her wedding somewhere, I don't know, like Sweden, but oh well.

- It might have been two bears, I don't know.

- I drove there with my parents. Like I'm TWELVE.

- Mostly we got underfoot and annoyed my sister, but it was fun.

- My sister's cat still hates me, but that's *fine*.

- So I did. Well, I got really drunk on Jagermeister and decided I wanted to be a singer. And the rest is, as they say, HISTORY.

Featuring a tiny bit of me playing Bach's Fugue in B Minor, with Basset Hound obbligato.

Kay protests G20 police actions.

Things people are afraid of v. Things that will actually kill you. With some easy-to-remember slogans to help you know the difference.

With special guest GuitarDrone of "What's all this then?"

- I really have nothing to complain about. I am podcasting more or less just to let you know I'm still alive.

- Had my parents over for dinner and made another massive vegan feast.

- And yes, my mother did spot a hair on my chin that I apparently ought to pluck out

- Maybe being a bearded soprano will be a hook.

- Email me if you want to come to MurderFolk.

- I'll try to have a bad experience this week, or else I'll have to change the title of the show to "Meandering with Kay" or "Having nice afternoons with Kay", and that'll be really boring.

In which Kay sees a hobo yelling into a payphone, reads the Toronto Sun (Shorter Toronto Sun: AAAAAAAAAHHH! WE'RE GONNA DIE!), and posts some of the recording she made last week.

The aria is "Son Vergin Vezzosa" from I Puritani, recorded by Paul Talbott with Michael Rose on the piano.

As promised, another piece of egregious trash I have read: http://scintillator.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/an-open-letter-to-rita-mae-brown/

Special guest Celeste Gillis and I discuss random douchebags we have known.

- Did I ever tell you about the time the guy tried to lick my face on the subway?

- Was he really short? - No, do you know him?- No, but for someone's mouth to accidentally hit your shoulder...

- Speak of douchebags, and they appear.

- I have a theory about that: You're not an asshole.

- SCIENCE!

- I'm not sure how "You have a huge ass" came out wrong.

- Clearly, that's what ALL of us want - to have sex with random strangers. /eyeroll

- That attitude makes them assholes...and no one wants to sleep with assholes.

- Well, there's point when you're younger and you think, "There must be something about him, because he's such an asshole and people still put up with him." Then you get a little older and you realize, "No, he's just an asshole."

- First of all, leave me and Celeste alone...but regarding the other women of Toronto, you will probably get a lot luckier if you treat us like actual people and not interchangeable objects.

A clip show of the very best of the Complaining with Kay: little snippets from every episode except the literary supplements and the vodcasts. Plus I explain myself.

Great thanks to all of you for listening, and to Ben for making and performing the theme.
