Thieves Can Be Imbeciles in Canada, Too

Posted by April in theft , kijiji , jean-paul riopelle , imbeciles , craigslist , blog roll , art

Not content to let lax Parisian security and poor planning take centre stage, Canadian thieves have decided to show off just how stupid they can be. A number of stolen lithographs by Jean-Paul Riopelle turned up on Kijiji. In case you are one of our international readers, allow me to explain: Kijiji is a free classified website like Craigslist. Only instead of used couches, one night stands, and free useless items no one in his/her right mind would want to take home, one can apparently also pick up pieces of Canadian history.

Were they trying to get caught? It's stolen art, dudes. Someone's going to figure it out.

Tuesday Recipe: Marbled Black Currant and Chocolate Mousse Cake

Posted by April in tuesday recipe , food , chocolate , blog roll

CakeA few weeks ago, (Cult)ure threw an Estonian party in honour of one of our editor's Estonian heritage. When said editor pointed us to Nami-Nami, an Estonian food blog, and I found this recipe, it seemed like fate. Oh, little did I know . . . I've added notes throughout, the better to explain the cake of many disasters.

Blog roll: Tomato Nation

Posted by April in twop , tomato nation , cinema , blog roll

I love Tomato Nation for a variety of reasons (the Vine, movie reviews, true crime novel obsession), but I mostly just love it for the writing. Sars (a.k.a. Sarah D. Bunting) has this great no bullshit attitude that's witty and honest and sometimes quite moving. She's a feminist, a couch potato, and a pop culture junkie, which makes her my kind of people. More importantly, she and other fantastic peeps (many from her Television Without Pity days, and did I mention she co-founded that site, too?) are tackling The Crushed Film Festival. What are they writing about? The shitty movies they watch just to see a favourite hottie. Aw, who hasn't been there?
