Somebody's watching me

How cool is this? Night vision goggles are now being used to catch film pirates (Toronto Star, May 31, 2004). The experiment is being tried in Britain as ushers at British screenings of the new Harry Potter are using night vision goggles to catch film pirates in the act. These actions are a direct result of poor qualities of the first two Harry Potter films flooding the black market. ...What's next? Snipers in the balcony?! ;-)

In the grand tradition of Canadian television being a pale imitation of American television(which itself is sometimes a superior version of British telvision, eg. Three's Company), the new season of Canadian Idol starts tonight. One consolation: more Tanya Kim on E-Talk Daily! (while usual host Ben Mulroney hosts Canadian Idol).

Sitting here listening to Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" on the radio and just kicking myself for not picking up a ticket to the now sold-out Franz Ferdinand show in Toronto on June 14, 2004.

ps. This is the first time I've posted from work...I don't think I'll be doing this too often. There are eyes everywhere.
