Apropos of nothing, I checked in with "The Voice" on Monday night. I'm not a regular viewer (anymore). One of the contestants did a sad, slowed down, mournful version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Can we all agree to a moratorium on taking uptempo, fun songs and slowing them down to slow sad dirges? If we work together we can do it! I think we can all agree that it was interesting when Bon Jovi first did it with "Livin' on a Prayer" and maybe reached its peak when Eric Clapton did the slowed down version of "Layla" on his MTV Unplugged, and since then, it's been a slow but steady decline. One exception is, of course, whenever someone will decide to perform "Hollaback Girl" at a really slow tempo, because a slow, mournful version of that would be hilarious (I hope).
Yesterday, went out to Mississauga. I became mildly "obsessed" with the Absolute World complex, the main towers of which are the "Marilyn Monroe" Towers. Aside from its ugly city hall and the Square One Shopping Mall, I guess this is (these are) the most iconic building(s) in Mississauga. These were the home for the character Jake Gyllenhaal played in the film "Enemy." (I almost typed a spoiler, but I stopped myself!).

| Up close. I'm trying to decide for myself whether these curves are sensual. I just don't know. I'm confused. The Marilyn Monroe towers, the Absolute World complex, Mississauga, Ontario. December 2, 2015. |
I photographed some skyline of Toronto this morning during the blue hour. I'll post those tomorrow.... Something for y'all to look forward to.....

| I'm still obsessed with this building, though.... (Oh Batman Tower, I still love you!). |
