Reading I’ve been doing bu haven’t mentioned in a while: read Super-Toys Last All Summer Long by Brian Aldiss, the story which A.I. is based on. read Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley. Currently reading The Man Who Was Afraid by Maxim Gorky. Super-Toys was interesting. I haven’t seen A.I. yet (tomorrow!), but I already know […]

world demise

From the Apocalypse Watch section in today’s Chrominance: …first on the list is the latest Sunny Delight advertising campaign. Maybe you’ve seen this, or maybe it’s a Canada only campaign; it involves an Austin-Powers-MiniMe-like villain scheming to harness the power of the California Sun. Ooops, too late, because Sunny D’s already done it! What I’d […]

savage beatings all night long, doo dah, doo dah,

AOL users who can’t follow instructions e-mailed to them: go away. Yesterday was hot. Really hot. In the morning, a young woman fainted on my subway car. This past lunch hour I sweated down while running around getting all of the necessary pieces to get an ISIC card and a train ticket (photo, change for […]

race cars and roast beast

I just mistyped that as ‘roast beats’ three times. Hrm. Anyways, weekend was awesome. Saw Sandy after two weeks apart, on Saturday we went to the races at Mosport Speedway. I got to ride in the pace car before the races got rained out. It was still fun to see everything. On Sunday we went […]

more bitching at Canada Post

I already mentioned that the new Canada Post website is a putrid mound of Flash and ASP garbage, rendering it slow as all hell and totally unintuitive. Well, now I just found the “text only” site. If you go through the “splash” (shudder) page and select your language, there is a link at the bottom […]

I’m looking forward to sleeping

I was up late last night burning CDs, and didn’t wake up until 7:15. My alarm clock was doing something strange as well; the alarm didn’t sound very healthy. Maybe the 5+ year old battery is finally dying. Yay for seeing Sandy this weekend. I miss her. Full weekend planned: car racing Saturday, family picnic […]

McDonald’s Girl

Finally burned some good ol’ Canadian bands onto an MP3 CD. . When I was born they looked at me and said What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy And when you were born they looked at you and said What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a […]

more crap in one place than anywhere else I have ever been

Happy Canada Day everyone! Hopefully the weather yesterday was nicer than there I was. On the coast of Lake Huron, the winds blew sand in my face. Yum! On Georgian Bay, things were nice and calm. Didn’t get to go swimming, but it was still a nice day out. Visited some kind of buy/sell/whatever shop […]

oh, the irony

I just got an HTML e-mail from FreeDrive with a subject of “Having trouble with those E-Mail attachments?” No, actually, just those frickin’ annoying HTML e-mails, but thanks for asking! (Delete)
