Not far from where we live, there’s this little fruit stand. The guy sells all kinds of fresh fruit, and apparently Trixie loves going there, because when she sees the stand, she’s bound and determined that we go there. There’s no way I’ll pass there without her stopping and pointing her nose at it as …

WWWWWWHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?
Ok, why in the blue bloody christ is Peter Whitmore getting offered a plea deal? Why why why why why? Somebody tell me why! Please? Now! Ok, now that I’ve got the incoherent brain-rattling rage down on paper, let me try and write like a rational human being. He kidnapped a kid from Manitoba, sexually …
Hello? Is This Thing On?
Writing this, I wonder if anyone’s still reading. We both screwed off for a good long time. 15 days? eek. Have we ever done that before? I’m too lazy to scroll through the archive and check. But I think it’s pretty rare. So rare that Ann Adams, the sweet lady that she is, wondered if …
No What Allowed?
Wow. It’s not very often that, while browsing apartment listings, you stop dead in your tracks and laugh for five minutes at a listing…after staring at it in bewilderment for another 2 minutes. I’m trying to help a friend find an apartment, so I’m surfing around the newspaper’s classifieds section. I found one listing that …
Jehova’s stalkers
I got something in the mail yesterday that frightened me. It was a piece of mail from some Jehova’s Witnesses, or Jehova’s Witlesses as Steve called them. But I didn’t even have to open it to be frightened by it. You could tell it was not professionally put together. Someone was doing this from their …
Follow My Nose To What?
Last night, we were watching Cops. I don’t know what it is exactly, but something always draws us to watching crime shows, and I think the most amusing ones are Cops and To Serve and Protect, just because the people getting arrested come up with some pretty weird excuses for why they have drugs on …
More Trixie goodness!
I think it’s time for an update on the Trixter, along with some things I’ve noticed because of her. Because of her, I end up spending considerably more time loitering around the outside of the apartment building. I’m not really loitering, I’m waiting for her to do her duty. But anyway, it means more time …
Young Canada Works…to Be Confusing and Say the Same Thing in As Many Ways As Possible.
I always knew that anything to do with the government was full of redundancies and other unnecessary crap. But I had the point driven home this week. I decided to join this Young Canada Works thing and see about finding an internship through there. I was filling out their 12-step aplication and it was making …
Have A Hotdog On Me My Friend
How is it, considering the speed at which new technologies are developed, that we as a society have not yet figured out how to make a decent hotdog bun? You’d think that as important as hotdogs have been to the lives of so many over the years that somebody would have tackled this issue by …
Randomness Ahoy
There were a few things floating through my head, so I figured I’d write them down together in a random thought stew. Here’s a lesson I had to learn the hard way. Hopefully others can learn from my stupidity. Never! ever! give! to! charities! who! phone! you! I gave to one charity who phoned. It …
