Truelies 4, Segment 4

Elizabeth Encourages Boulevard Lake

This is a short one which means that there’ll be another one following in the next couple days. We literally were filming that day and decided to hit Boulevard to see if we could improv anything. We had just done the bluffs and I asked Liz and Mike if they had another 30 mins to film. Neither objected so we got this nice little ditty.

If I were able to shoot more footage of anything, I’d want a body floating in water. I thought it would be hilarious to have this little segment aboot Boulevard being less infectious, then having a little clip of a body floating by. Surprisingly, neither Mike or Liz would agree to go in Boulevard face down for upwards of 20-30 mins so I could film this. At least, at the time.

The truth of this one is: the place is pretty gross. Also, it is sunny where people come to sunbathe. I still don’t see how the two mix.

Meghan retells Terry Fox

In kindergarten, we were told many stories of Terry Fox. My favourite used to be the one were his false leg has eyes and would talk to his normal one and give it encouragement. My new favourite is this one.

And this is also where we made fun of Paul Shaffer for the first time. Paul is famous for his work on the various Letterman shows and is one of the rare celebrities to emerge from Thunder Bay. When you’re famous, it’s okay to make fun of you. Did you also know that when you’re famous there are no longer free pictures of you on the internet ? None that either weren’t from sketchy sources or had a price tag attached.

We have another month of these to go, then it’ll be over. What should we do with them ?

Geoff outside of City Hall

I love Defend Your Castle. That’s my screenshot from my firefox version, so I’m certain it’s legal.

City Hall has since undergone reconstruction. Will it still have cannons to remind us of our violent history ? Only time will tell. Also, you’ll have to visit to see.
