Yep, it had to be Friday.
So I’m standing at the bus stop on my way to work tonight, and sure enough, I think those same people were there tonight who were a couple weeks back. I kinda recognised the voices, anyway… at least a couple of ’em. And again, they were complaining because the bus … Read the rest

This would surprise me if it wasn’t Quebec.
And now, Quebec gets to prove it can be the exception not because they’re different/better than the rest of Canada, but because they’re fucking morons. An explanation: The legal drinking age everywhere in Canada is 19. Except Quebec. Everywhere else in Canada, you can actually make a right hand turn … Read the rest

Stats Canada states the obvious, the media makes it actually newsworthy.
After quite the time studying, Stats Canada comes up with the ultimate of revelations. People are overweight thanks to their own daily routines. Zuh.

Now we’re bordering on the ridiculous.
It makes sense to ban the use of things like cell phones and MP3 players inside the classroom, and anyone who tells me differently is on crack. But if you’ve got a couple minutes between classes, when the most you’re doing is probably either hanging out at your locker/at the … Read the rest

And you have problems with ‘vagina’?
I know, I know, I don’t blog for a week and this is the best I can do? Well, I’d originally planned to go into detail on how I’ve transferred the processing of all the email I get away from DreamHost, but that hasn’t actually happened yet, so deal. Anywho. … Read the rest

Insanity: my life summarized.
A whole shitload’s happened since I last had time to breathe, let alone post here, so I’ll try to squeeze it all into the half hour I have to write before my shift starts. Lessee… where to start. It would have been so much less confusion with a phone call. … Read the rest
