It Must Be All The Construction Or Something.

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:53:02 GMT

We have 2 seasons around here, Winter and Construction.

I used to think Winter was the time when you're most likely to get rear-ended due to fools who drive around on poorly inflated balding all-season tires on ice. But not today.

Damned construction leads to bumper-to-bumper traffic. It's a miracle I got home unscathed.

For Those "Christmas Music in July" Impluses...

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:28:00 GMT

Yeah, so sometimes I feel like listening to Christmas music when it's nowhere near Christmas.

The good thing about Traditional Trinidadian Christmas Music ("Parang") is that it does not sound like normal Western Christmas Music. You can listen to it openly and most people don't know what it is because Parang is in Spanish, but sung with a Trinidadian accent by people who don't actually know Spanish (who learned it from other people or records sung by others who did not know Spanish.)

Finally I may have to give in and actually get one.

Redundancy of the Day

Today I received a shipment of synthetic wine corks.

The box was padded with styrofoam packing chips.

The Local Mall Has A Store Dedicated To Designer Beanbag Chairs

I have no idea what this implies.

Sensodyne

I supposed I should give some free advertising to the Sensodyne people.

For a long time I thought that toothpaste was a gimmicky product, but it is actually quite effective at treating temperature-sensitive teeeth.

We have Panera in Canada. Finally. I love those little pagers they give you to alert you that your food is ready.

Judge Judy

Sat, 14 Feb 2009 04:02:16 GMT

I've seen a lot of Judge Judy episodes, but I cannot begin to count the amount of stupid in this episode, which someone named, "The Fickist Plaintiff Ever". Whatever that means.

I saw this months ago but had to come back to it.

Comedy Club

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 06:16:13 GMT

I was at this Comedy Club this evening, and one guy in the audience started causing some trouble with some other guests. It was this black guy in the back who would not calm down and shut up during the show, and other patrons were complaining.

The bouncer stepped in and the guy started getting really angry at him, calling him a racist and some other names. I'm guessing that this wayward patron was kicked out, as I didn't see him there later. Either way, he must have been drunk or high or stupid or something, as the bouncer was also black.

New Nominee For Most Annoying Task In The World

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 03:05:33 GMT

It took two adjustable spanners of different sizes before I could correct a Brita filter with a misaligned adaptor that connects it to the faucet's head.

Thanks to such Brita catastrophes, even condo dwellers such as myself need a goodly stash of tools in reserve.

You have to enable the "Recycle Bin" on your computer instead of having deleted files actually getting deleted as the default action.

I am now shaving my face in the evening as opposed to the morning so I have a little stubble to protect me from the wind when I walk to and from work.

Bid to create world's largest sandwich in Iran fails after crowd eats it before it can be measured

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 03:47:39 GMT

The meat had been cooked, the sandwich almost assembled and assorted Guinness Book of Records dignitaries were patiently waiting by to give it their official stamp of approval.

But cooks in Iran were left in despair after their bid to create the world's longest sandwich failed when the crowd started eating it before it could be measured.

Palin vs. Biden

I can't wait to see this. Seriously, I'm giddy just thinking about it. It's gonna be awesome. Lambs to the slaughter.

Costco AmEx

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:47:54 GMT

I've had my CostCo AmEx for about a week now and this must be the most shiny and pretty piece of plastic I've ever laid eyes on.

This is probably just one of their ploys to make you want to use the card and keep you thinking about it. I just like looking at it because of the hologram magstripe. But damn, I bet there are people out there who just come up with excuses to use it so they can show it off.

Brain Power

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 04:00:05 GMT

The way I see it, Nature/God/Whatever gives most everyone's brain a roughly equal amount of what I shall call "computational bandwidth."

One of the main ways each individual differs from another is into what mental capabilities this "bandwidth" is distributed.

Things like diseases or genetic defects and reduce the amount of bandwidth available to any one person. And in other exceptional cases, true geniuses have a lot more bandwidth than normal folks like you and me.
