There's such a thing as "too much of the CBC". That is what I learned today. :D

I went into work for six hours (because the pay is lucrative but I find it difficult to work for any large amount of time due to the fact I have "school" ). From noon until six today, I mostly sat down in the basement of the Chapples Building and carefully sorted paper from paperclips, the former…

I remember a lot of things. It comes with having a brain whose neurology is more complex than the fastest supercomputer. It comes with having a mind that can look up into the stars and wonder why we're here. It comes with those little packs of Smarties you get at Hallowe'en.

Today is Remembrance Day, so I figured I should post something about that before I continue my little existence on this small planet as…

So CBC News: The Hour had its season premiere tonight. I loved this show, and I still do. I have been waiting all summer for it to come back, because I can finally watch something each night and get up to date on all that "news" stuff happening in our world.

They changed the format a bit . . . and the guy working the cues needs to pay more attention to which buttons he…

I don't like bragging. And I don't like seeming like an elitist egotistical person, even though sometimes I think I come off that way. -_-

But yeah . . . I have 100% in biology class as of today. So unless I do fantastically badly on our mitosis / meiosis quiz tomorrow, my mark will most likely be 99-100% for midterm next week. Sickening, eh? :r

As if I don't already attract enough attention in…

I decided to be kind and not call this post "Harry Potter and the Half-Baked Prince." That might have been too strong.

I don't know many people who have not read the book and not read spoilers, but if you don't want the surprises to be ruined, you can turn back now.

No?

You see, I think that book 6 of the Harry Potter series was not as good when stacked up against its predecessors.…

I had a pretty good Hallowe'en. After work, I went over to a friend's house for a party and had a really good time. I caught the tail end of Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, saw Shaun of the Dead, and then we watched the beginning to Monty Python's Life of Brian twice (because two friend came in late, so we restarted that movie, but then everyone had to…

We learn something new every day. Today, I learned that John T. Haller has created a wonderful set of portable applications you can run on any Windows computer from your USB drive. :drool:

The one in particular I find cool is Portable Firefox, but there's also Portable Thunderbird, OpenOffice.org, etc. It looks quite useful, works, and is just another way to bother my school's system techs. :D

So I suppose I should give a general update after being offline for a while. :r

My idea that my English teacher read my novel and give me feedback seems to be a good one. Even though I'm not less bored in English class, at least I'll get something out of it by the end of the semester. I've reached 40 000 words now, and I'm pretty proud. A friend of mine as well as…

Wow! I've got paid hosting! All thanks to A Small Orange!

I'm now going to work on rejuvenating it. The database backup is from October 10, so if you posted any comments or such after that date, then they're gone . . . sorry. :-/ It appears this mean the entire guestbook is gone. I should get to bed, but I'll put it back up tomorrow, so sign it again then.

So I joined this informal sort drama group known as "Black Light Theatre," which does their performances in, not surprisingly, under black light. Several of my friends were already in it, so I decided I might as well join and have some fun.

I got drafted to play a "voice" (as opposed to a puppet) because the person who previously played the voice had moved away. So now I'm going to be an "angry…
