V and I have been in Ottawa for the last few days. Here are some facts about Ottawa:
- Sneaking into an academic conference isn’t too hard. I probably should have registered early, when it didn’t cost much, but given that I was lazy and waited until the price went up to $400.00, there’s no way I’m paying that much just to wander booths where companies advertise their stuff. If I’m getting deluged with ads, I better be there for cheap or free. In any case, I only got caught once, and even then, didn’t get thrown out. Oh and since I saved $400, that’s pretty much free money that I can spend on booze and video games, right?
- The Byward Market is pretty cool. V bought a plastic spider there that will mellow her chakra energies based on ancient Indian colour wheels, or something. There are lots of hippies in Ottawa.
- The bathrooms in Ottawa are extremely nice and clean. Even in male public washrooms, I barely saw any shit, piss, blood or puke outside of the bowl. Paradoxically (or maybe not), people enjoy peeing in random places that are not bathrooms. We saw a few too many penises flopping out in the middle of the city.
- I got a nosebleed for the first time in my life. I haven’t blown my nose since then, because man, nosebleeds are scary. This probably has nothing to do with Ottawa, other than taking place there.
- The city was still kinda depressed over not winning the Stanley Cup. It’s OK, Ottawa, second place is still pretty good. Hah! Just kidding! Nobody even remembers second place. You fail at life.
I’ll post a few pictures or something later. The art gallery has a giant spider in front of it, which I will post a picture of. As the great poet Robert Frost once said, “giant spiders fucking kick ass.”

I did sound at an ob/gyn conference once. I got tons of weird foam vaginas, uteri and astriglide samples.

Ya. It’s nice there with the market, the parks and stuff, but go back in January and it’s a trip to the Arctic.

Don’t go “shoulding” all over yourself (I hate when people say this to me).Apart from all that, is Ottawa still boring? I just want a Beaver Tail.
