I don’t know what it is about today. Some days poke along, some days move quickly, some days alternate between the two. There are some days that you expect to gallop, but they don’t, and some days you think they’re going to stroll, and then you look at the clock and are amazed at how …

A Big Basket of Confusion
Lately I’ve been seeing this commercial on TV. It started appearing in December, and it persists now. It plays Jingle Bells and a British woman who is apparently plump tells you that you should discover the magic of a Chrisco Christmas hamper, and for as low as $3.75 a week, you can get a hamper …
A Big Heap of…Stuff
Woohoo, random post time. I don’t know if this one will amount to much, but oh well, hopefully we’ll have fun while it lasts. I think I heard the coolest virus name ever. Oh god I’m declaring my supreme geekiness by saying that I think some virus names are cool. But some just sound neat. …
What Does MADD Stand For?
I always thought it was Mothers Against Drunk Driving. But its founder’s name is…John! And its president’s name is…Steve! How did these men become mothers? Are they hermaphrodites? That’s the only explanation I can come up with.
Off I Go, Into the Wild Blue Yonder!
It looks like we finally got our winter. I woke up this morning to a hissing sound outside my window. That was a whole wack of ice pellets and snow smacking into the building. Yee ha, welcome to January. At least that seems more normal. Crappy, but seasonal. Maybe it’ll kill off the whole host …
Yeah, Uh-huh, Sure.
I saw a commercial that cracked me up today. It showed this girl getting a phone call. It was from a collection agency. He told her that he’d noticed some patterns in the way she’s been paying, or not paying, her debts. Then he told her that she should call this credit counselling firm and …
Man People are Lazy
Attention dude who took out the audio version of Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts from the library: When you returned it, did you not notice the stream of tape hanging out of cassette 2? The one that could not be wound back in because it was broken? Did you not remember your tape …
That Ain’t Right
Right now, at 7:33 AM on Friday, January 5th, 2007, the temperature is 9 degrees Celsius. It is expected to rise all the way to 13. This is happening in Canada, not long after Christmas, in a part of Ontario generally thought of as a portion of what people have taken to calling the snowbelt. …
It’s a Nice Day…in A Disturbing Sort of Way.
Someone said that the other day and I thought that was a perfect way to describe the weather. Check the date. It is January 5. Now check the weather forecast. It is supposed to go up to 13 C. Now check the geographic location. Yup, I’m still in Guelph. This is wrong! As much as …

Talk about Keep it Simple!
I was just looking around at this one site to see if anyone was selling an exercise bike. I saw a section called jobs. I thought hey, let’s see what’s up here. And one job title still has me laughing. it was, and I quote, “dude with a van.” Well, at least there’s no confusion …
