w00t!

I geeked out a bit...

Wishlist

I guess I'll have to do a ThinkGeek one now.

Back from whence I came.

I'm in Arizona. It's more brown than I remember.

More later. Going to annoy the stepsister now.

Since when were American Airlines employees so rude?

I'll have pictures!

Oh. And my father's house, GINORMOUS.

Newsletter of DOOOOOOM

Well, I just finished my second to last day here at the Regent Park School of Music. In two days I'm off to the land of my birth for some visitings.

Did I just survive that year? Whoah.

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.

In other news, cease fires to wars are good things, Yellowcard is a band I like more and more the more I hear of them. And right now I'm very very very tired.

Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins

No one here is exactly as they appear.

At this present moment in time;

I am hungry.
I'm listening to Suicide Machines.
I am bored.

You know... that's probably not a good combination now that I've typed it down. I should be going for food right now but a certain roommate (ALICIA!) is on her computer and not leaving for food. From there we go to High Park to see Shakespeare in the Park. 'A Comedy of Errors' I believe. I'll let you know how that goes.

Okay. Now to drag Alicia off to a food serving place.

In which I post

Okay the last two posts that I put up don't show up as having ever existed on the material plane. One of them was even my class schedule!

What the hell Blogger!

Saw a bunch of peeps and talked to Heather from the land down under tonight which was good. Apparantly she's going to Fiji, on my birthday and she isn't taking me. I mean, that would be a bitchin' present would it not?!? In other news Alicia fell asleep about five to ten minutes into the most recent Babylon 5 episode so we're going to have to rewatch that one I guess.

Tomorrow there shall be breakfast with Joe and Jordan. Awesome.

Oh! And click here to see two girls spooning! With their powers combined they make one hot asian!

World War III, or just the regular old hell?

Seems like images like these are the only things I see these days.

Sigh

Hey look! The town of my birth in the news! Crap!

The news has been awfully depressing of late. We have active warzones in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Israel/Lebanon/Gaza. Is North Korea still being belligerant? Has the Sudan stopped murdering itself and screwing up Chad? I'm too depressed to go find out.

So what now Dick, how would you spin a Civil War? Are you going to tell us that it's all been worth it, U.S. Soldiers have been dying for the right reasons, if what they're supposedly there trying to prevent happens anyways? Well this is FUBAR isn't it...

Interesting bit of local news (for me, local meaning Toronto. See? Isn't it pretty?) is that an American Army Deserter who fought in Iraq has decided to return home, turn himself in, and face charges. He's been in T.O. for two years and is married now, but says the time is right to bring his story out. Apparently he left over misgivings about orders given and what he may in the future do... well here, you can read it yourself.

Good on the Dems for blocking a lowered estate tax, at least there's some kind of 'opposition' in the government these days. Grah.

On the Canuck side of the coin...

A very bad day in Afghanistan yesterday, and it doesn't look like it's going to get any better. Especially since this happened today. Princess Pat's Light Infantry must feel like sitting ducks in Khandahar. The Brits aren't having any fun either.

The Chicoutimi is apparently still down mostly because of beaurocratic B.S. and waffling, I'm not suprised but it's still aggravating that a Rear Admiral has to retire before he can say anything admonishing. We spent how much on them? Why can't we just pay the extra, and get the frakkin' thing seaworthy already!?! It's a disgusting waste of money in drydock which also means they can't patrol both coasts, or a military asset in the water and on patrol. Now which one scenario better there?

In other things, this interesting bit of news came to my attention. I'm sort of hoping that a Californian will send a letter to this guy with some alternative ideas for putting the money to better use. Like I dunno, the International Red Cross or something. Maria? Or if you're gone already, one of the other 'M's'?

What else... well New Zealand has an interesting idea about how to handle drunks at bars, this is the only good news story I've heard in a while coming out of the Middle East, I found this to be a good idea and a progressive move for the world, and according to Tycho Brahe of Penny-Arcade; "You basically need to watch this now."

I'm out to do something less depressing. Maybe go to Oakville. Well... um... it's for a party but yes I realize I just said that Oakville wasn't depressing. Let's hope?

Humidex's a Bitch

It's warm.

And I mean hot.

When celcius hovers around 40 at either end of the scale it's usually not very pleasant. Now I've got a roommate who's sleeping in nothing but his underwear out on the couch. Not what I want to wake up to in the morning.

Also some people have been getting increasingly annoyed with me for a general lack of communication. Sorry about that. Just let me get through the summer and back into school. I'm trying my best not to lose sanity. I figure that's a noble and reasonable goal for myself. Rest assured it is nothing that you have done and I am not trying to out anyone from my life.

I just don't have a life right now with which to share. Yes it's that pathetic.

Okay then. Off to work.

Happy Birthday Mom
