Night Colours

They spent millions on a new light-show thingie for the CN Tower. Not that I care, it wasn't like it was tax dollars or anything.

Made a real big deal about it, they did.

Recently Our Tower lost its status as the world's tallest freestanding structure (a rather dubious title to begin with, as there's a taller structure in Arizona supported by guy-wires - adding the "freestanding" part always struck me as qualifying things somewhat; either it's the freaking tallest, or it's not). Perhaps they thought sprucing it up a bit would boost its self-esteem, make it feel better about itself.

I'm not sure what the big deal is; the structure that recently passed it is under construction, so Toronto's Tower remains the World's Tallest Fully Completed And Not Under Construction Freestanding Structure. Still, it's days as #1 being numbered, renovations were clearly in order.

So it changes colours. Now we'll all feel better about being number two, won't we?

I guess one could, like, you know, smoke a lot of pot, go sit on the roof, blast Pink Floyd on the IPod, look at the CN Tower, and it would be just like LaserFloyd.

Remember LaserFloyd? Duuuuuuuude!
