I’m really starting to think we try to pack way way way too much into the day. Either that or we’re getting lazier and lazier. I was watching a show on TV when a commercial came on for something that scared me. It was for premade smoothies from McCain. Does that frighten anyone else? When …

What are Those Things on My Head For?
Sometimes I wonder if we’re de-evolving and some people have lost the ability to use those round things with black centres that change in size with the light, ya know, eyes? I have to admit, some people are very observant. I met a guy who could put everything he moved back where he found it. …
Drat! Foiled Again!
Wow, more people are coming apart than I thought. Ya know the old theory that tin foil hats would keep out penetrating mind-control rays from the government? Well, some of those who flew over the cuckoo’s nest flew into MIT. and actually put this theory to the test. Yes, people in the electrical engineering and …
Not Again!
I heard on the news that the powers that be have decided to call an election. Another one. When did we last go to the polls? 2004? So they’re trying to arrange to have one called in February. They think that somehow they’re going to end up with more than a minority government, which is …
Read the Fine Print!
Well, I was reading something in the paper today that makes me feel a lot better. I was starting to think a while back that I must have been a really stupid kid, because I didn’t get all the meanings of stuff that was in songs and stories for kids. I’d just remember the funny …
Wow, Some People Need Sleep.
I saw something yesterday that made me laugh. I came down to what passes for a bus terminal in this town and jumped on a city bus. Now, bear in mind this bus’s main job is to shuttle people from the downtown to the university, which takes maybe 15 minutes. I got on the bus, …
Vomit Comet, Venturing into the World of feeds
Well, we’re just going up in the world fast aren’t we? Earlier in the week, we got given the gift of trackbacks, and now we discovered that we can have a feed for this place. So since everyone and their blogging brother is jumping on the RSS/Atom bandwagon, we decided to test it out. I …

Comment changes
Well, I got rid of the numbers, and gained an extra link. Oops. But on the bright side, we have trackback now, whatever that does. Now here’s the important part. Does it still work? Hope so. Can everyone still find the comment links and click on them and put comments in? If not, well, you …
ARAO: A Really Asinine Obligation
Ok, rant time again. Yee ha. One of the newest places where I volunteer has a stupid policy they call ARAO. It stands for Anti-Racism Anti-Oppression. AT this point I can hear the peanut gallorie booing me off the stage and calling me a racist asshole. But wait wait wait! Basically the policy says they …
Bus Entertainment
Man I love bus rides like this, when amusement plops itself down beside you and helps you pass the time. I was sitting on the bus, and this woman and her four-year-old daughter came and sat down beside me. At first it was just average mother-daughter stuff. Then this conversation unfolded that had me giggling …
