Swan Rape?

I’m not cultured enough to either enjoy or care about the ballet, though I have to say, the title of a certain article posted on the Globe and Mail’s site this morning did pique my interest somewhat. For instance:

And just in time for the holiday season. I can only imagine what the director would do with The Nutcracker. Ouch!

Flickr Moblog

So, I’ve finally made the time to set up the Nokia 6225 to upload pics to my Flickr account. Easy as sending an e-mail. Will attempt to update semi-regularly – at least until the next mobile service bill arrives.
