Man, I love Serbian names: just look at this list. My kid is definitely going to be named Vladislav, Miroslav, or Dragomir. They inspire manliness and a bit of Grand Theft Auto IV bad-assery. The last names are cool, too. Eighty percent of the surnames end in -ić, as well as all of those of the Serbian national football team's starting players.
PS This fascination started thanks to my friend E. Svabic. She has one of the coolest names ever.

I just got back from Canada for a cousin's wedding (more on that later). I noticed something very odd in the restrooms of Toronto's Pearson International Airport. They have these vending machines run by a company called Protocol that dispense Protocol-branded knock-offs (such as Calvin Klein cologne and Tylenol) and condoms. Seriously, what kind of brand-building marketing move is this? Selling your counterfeit perfume (quote: "Protocol's version of Calvin Klein's Man Cologne") next to your condoms. This does not make me trust you.
Who buys condoms in airports anyway? And in the departure lounge restrooms? Wouldn't it make more sense to put them in the arrivals area? As far as I know, there's not an epidemic of people having unprotected sex on airplanes...and in Toronto, Canada? I mean, it would make sense in, say, Amsterdam or Bangkok or Austin or Hollywood...but Toronto? It's tied with Branson, Missouri for most harmless city ever!
