Cabaret was awesome!

My friends who were in it kept on insisting that it was worse than last year. Well, I did not go last year (nor the year before that, ad infinitum), but I'm sure they were pretty good even by those standards. It was non-stop fun, and by the time I got home, I was pretty tired. ^_^

Muwahahahaha. Good job Neil, Cassie, Cortney, Vivike, Ally, Crystal, Robbie, Ricky, Andrew, and um .…

There are times when I think I need a scale. On the far right end, at about 100 or so, there's Canadians like Stephen Lewis, who make me proud to be Canadian.

On the far left end, at about -100 or so, there's Canadians like Andrew Uitvlugt, mayoral candidate for Kelowna, B.C., who wants to offer crack to homeless people who will pick up garbage! His idea being to reward them with crack, hoping…

You think that driving near a bus is scary? Try being on a bus. :fear: I just noticed today that buses are big, heavy machines that are too large for most streets, and that you need to be insane to operate one. (Of course, this is true for any piece of modern equipment. I'm insane for even typing this under the delusion that someone will read it.)

I thought of a cool new design for…

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
