What. The. Hell? Quebec axes the sex ed class in favour of spreading it throughout the rest of the cariculum? Le sigh. Silly little french folks. Only you would decide kids don’t mind going from an intense algebra lesson into a little segway all about the birds and the bees. Definitely glad I’m not in highschool anymore. And never was in Quebec.

And this, folks, is why I’m glad I don’t live in Quebec.

Someone’s been cooking something awesome all day.
It’s a small apartment building, so if someone downstairs starts into the cooking, it gets up here in a real hurry. I never bothered taking any kind of time to learn to cook–it’s just me, I’d be cooking for 1 on most if not all occasions, so what the hell for? But in this particular instance I almost, almost wish I had. So instead I’m ordering pizza. And they tell me my logic’s gone screwy.
-
Tingly goodness.
So my right hand’s been doing some funky little thing where it goes all numb on me. Not numb in the sense that it’s unuseable, it’s just doing some crazy little tingle thing with itself. Ah well, it’s a long way from the heart so I’ll live. It’s just all kinds of odd and out of the blue entirely. It’ll probably improve later. Say, tomorrow-ish.
And on a complete and totally unrelated note, clefurgey, update your frickin journal. You gave me hell for not using mine. 😛

Should this amuse me half as much as it does?
ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE IN THE UPPER OTTAWA VALLEY AND
NORTHUMBERLAND HAVE RESORTED TO SNOWMOBILES FOR TRANSPORTATION.
It’s official. We have way, way, way too much snow around here. Someone south of the border should just come on over and nab half of it. I wouldn’t complain.

What kind of puzzle are you?
Because, well, any blog of mine’s gotta have a few of these. And I’ve never done this one.
You Are a Jigsaw Puzzle
You are a complex person, although at first glance you seem quite simple.
Your personality is comprised of many interesting and distinct pieces.
You are captivating and often visually interesting. You can be seen from many angles.
Not quite sure how to take that one…

Okay I’ve given in.
It took some eventual encouraging, but I’ve decided to give good old LJ another shot. With… my typical, rather unusual but charmingly so twist. Eventually, hopefully by this time tomorrow night… the website address that used to belong to my old blog will find itself redirecting to this one. Since there’s a shitload of randomness on that there other blog, I’ve stuck it over here so that I might at some point refer back to it when I decide to get on one of my, uh, moron of the year award rants. And they will happen. But for now, oh, for now… I find things to do that don’t involve messing with websites. At least until the next interesting news article comes up.

Dare I go back to Live Journal?
I’ll admit, sad though it may be, I’ve actually been tossing that particular idea around a fair bit. Particularly after yesterday or the day before, my web host rather inadvertently fubared its own network setup, thus knocking me, and probably the rest of their network, temporarily offline. I’d keep the domain name of course, and email and whatnot would remain relatively intact. I’d just, uh, do all kinds of moving this blog to a subdomain, forget about updating it anymore, and go all LJ on this here website. Yeah, thought about it. Thought rather long and hard about it, too. For all of about a half second. Maybe one of these days I’ll randomly decide to do so. In the meantime, this pointless entry brought to you by uh, I have no damn clue.

At least it was only 2 bucks.
So we finally got around to trying to get in and see Untraceable last Tuesday, except thanks largely to the fact poor Trish is currently minus a vehicle, we were left at the mercy of OC Transpo, whom I’ve bitched about on an occasion or two on here. Now, not that there’s a single problem with the bus system at all–cough, cough–but I still suspect that they’re the sole reason why we missed by like 10-15 minutes the actual start of the movie. Suckitude galore, seeing as that one was supposed to be pretty good. At least judging by what I’ve been able to pick up on it. Instead, we decided to see I am Legend (sorry, no IMDB linkage for this one, which is rather odd) instead. It was… well, meh. Best way to describe it. It’s a Will Smith movie, so anyone who’s watched I, robot or Independence Day pretty much knows what to expect. Sadly I, Robot is probably one of his better movies. Though props do go out to the fact his character actually dies in I am Legend. Really though, as odd as it was to see him take on a more serious role than anything he’s done in, say, either of the two movies I’ve linked to aside from that one, I think that also went towards knocking the movie down a couple coolness points. Nearly the movie’s only saving grace was the fact it was actually one of the more believeable zombie movies I’ve seen. And far enough away that it’s almost realisticly possible something like it could happen. Official decision from the opinionated jackass: we should have gone to see Untraceable. I’d watch I am Legend if it came out on TV, but um, I wouldn’t pay for it. Wonder if there’s a torrent for it on the intarwebz. Further investigation is required.

I didn’t want to see spring until August anyway.
We got hammered good with a freezing rain storm on Monday. We got absolutely dumped by snow on Wednesday. Upwards of 30 CM in town, here. And we’re expecting a crapload more over the next day or so.
A STORM IS CURRENTLY OVER WEST VIRGINIA THIS MORNING AND WILL PUSH
NORTHWARD TODAY GIVING SIGNIFICANT SNOW TO MOST OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO.
THE FIRST ROUND BEGAN FRIDAY MORNING OVER AREAS NORTH OF THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES AND LAST EVENING ACROSS EASTERN ONTARIO AND SKI COUNTRY.
THE NIAGARA PENINSULA AND OTTAWA HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED NEAR 20
CENTIMETRES AS OF 9 AM. THE SECOND ROUND OF HEAVY SNOWFALL IS NOW
RAPIDLY SPREADING ACROSS THE REGIONS. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE ENTIRE
SNOWFALL DURATION WILL BE ABOUT 36 HOURS BUT THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL
BE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.
STORM TOTALS WILL LIKELY BE NEAR 30 CENTIMETRES ALONG AND EAST OF A
LINE FROM LONDON TO LAKE SIMCOE THEN TO PETAWAWA. THERE IS POTENTIAL
FOR 40 TO 50 CENTIMETRES OF SNOW FROM THE NIAGARA PENINSULA THROUGH
TRENTON TO OTTAWA BY THE TIME THIS STORM SYSTEM MOVES OUT.Thank god I don’t have to shovel the crap, but still. Methinks someone really, really hates me…

Selling out to the Americans again.
The biggest monopoly on Canadian telephone and DSL service is apparently set to become the biggest US owned Canadian monopoly. Thanks largely to a ruling courtesy a Quebec judge. There are no words for this. Except, that is, a thank you. You see, I didn’t think the government could sell us out to the US all on its own. Thanks for the help, moron.
