"Vous devez watch it avec ton risqué behaviour!"
Franchement!
Unless you live in a cave, you're aware that we are in the midst of AIDS Awareness Week.
Wednesday marked the unveiling of the 60-second HIV test in Montreal. As some of you know, 3 weeks is a really long time to wait when you're worried. 3 weeks leaves a lot of time for thinking and sometimes tears too. So 60 seconds is wild and wonderful. It's about as long as it takes to put on a condom and get ready to go. It could take 3 minutes to tear open the damn package if you're drunk or full of cocaine. But those aren't the best times for doing it anyway, now are they?
"It seemed like a good idea at the time..."
The government of Ontario has invested in kits for anonymous testing at clinics. These will set them back $10 per kit. Quebec hasn't bought any. And by saying 'set back', I'm trying to be ironic and clever. Quebec will get with it soon enough, but their slow-pokedness makes Wednesday's 'unveiling' somewhat bittersweet.
Mmmmm cake...overwhelmingly erotic, isn't it? Doing it can be also but it's easy to get caught up in the moment.
Anyways you guys, stay alert and stay safe and try and channel your inner rabbit.
"Why a rabbit you ask? ....Because if you watch a rabbit very carefully you will notice that in times of uncertainty he will stand very still with his ears up and whiskers twitching. He's on the look out for possible trouble -- cats, dogs or maybe even people.
At Stay Alert...Stay Safe we would like you to learn to be like a rabbit. By being alert and ready for danger, you can learn to avoid it. That's right -- and just like a rabbit you can run away, or even sniff out trouble before it happens. So if something does not feel right, get away fast. Just like a rabbit!"

And see THESE?
Don't fuck around with them.
Or you might end up like this lady.
Looking sexy in a sexy bathing suit on the cover of supersexy Cosmopolitan magazine?
Not exactly. Gia Carangi died of AIDS at 26. Angelina Jolie gave what is arguably her best performance in the biopic, Gia. It's really sad and it might make you cry. But you should still watch it if you never have before.
I like this one better than the sexy bathing suit shot. It is sad to see someone that was free as a bird looking free as a bird and knowing they are no longer.
Makes you think, doesn't it?
THINK ABOUT IT.
ALL OF IT.
And don't forget to think about people in faraway places SUCH AS AFRICA, who don't have the oppurtunity to make the choices we are lucky enough to be faced with.
THINK THINK THINK. And do something, silly!
LOVE,
NICOLA
