I always said there should be a law against morons.
Of course, I didn’t exactly expect anyone would actually take me seriously. Now I know better. Guy gets in some hot water for drinking at a beach where alcohol’s not permitted. Okay, slap on the wrist, you’d think–this is Canada, after all. Except rather than give his actual name, he … Read the rest

Sleep schedule? What sleep schedule? I have no sleep schedule.
From the “that didn’t take long” department, my newly re-screwed-up routine. And it only took about 2 or 3 days after the departure of the girlfriend–er, oops, I mean fiance. Personal record for me, I think. Further proof I’m a goner schedule-wise? I was in the middle of reading something … Read the rest

I really need to stop finding new shows to watch.
I recently this year developed an interest in a TV show, “Ghost Whisperer”. The plot was halfway interesting, the characters were semi-realistic–except for that whole ghosts thing, but hey, some people actually believe they can do that–and it was actually not something I ended up falling asleep to. It was … Read the rest

Someone kindly enroll this kid’s father in parenting classes.
I’ve met some bad–naye, horrible–parents in my 26 years. granted, I’ve med some even worse kids, too, but still. Nothing has quite come close to this. “I’m not worried about his health, he looks healthy”‘ shrugged the boy’s father Mohammad Rizal. “He cries and throws tantrums when we don’t … Read the rest

Please tell me Facebook doesn’t want to play fortune teller.
Excluding the hundred billion privacy issues they’re dealing with, now Facebook takes interpersonal guessing games to a whole new level. Apparently, its CEO has decided to perform his own little experiments and see if he can predict who folks would end up in a relationship with based on their Facebook … Read the rest

Things you miss when you don’t read the news. Or, why I should pay more attention to the mock-worthy.
I haven’t been keeping up on my usual sources of entertainment this week, primarily on account of having catching up to do in other areas. I kick myself for it now. In list format, because I can, things I could have, and should have, soundly mocked this week. You may … Read the rest

A gentle nudge to Ontario colleges.
College admins, take note. I’m trying, via Ontario’s second career program, to give you money. I’m actually standing here with my hand out, with untold dollars in said hand. We have just one problem. Your websites do not tell me how much of said untold dollars you want for courses … Read the rest

In which mom becomes this year’s April fools casualty.
I’m the family geek. Which, really, has its positives as well as its rather irritating negatives. And sometimes, it’s neither positive nor negative–just six or seven different kinds of hillarious. Take Friday morning, for example. We’re sitting down for breakfast, and mom brought up an announcement by Google that said … Read the rest

Someone really aught to tell this guy he ran to the wrong prison.
All over a trafic violation in Cleveland, Ohio, two guys decide they’re going to make a chase of it. It started out as a high-speed car chase, only for them to realize they probably weren’t going to outrun the cops. Then they thought it might be fun to make a … Read the rest

In which James changes it up, and very nearly breaks things.
One of these days, I’ll remind myself I meant last month to remind myself to pick a theme and stay with it. It won’t be today, though. I decided I like the 3-column approach much better, particularly so far as my plans for the site go. Mostly, I’m not cramming … Read the rest
