Sleep deprivation

October 31, 2007

There’s no reason for it. I just didn’t sleep. Maybe it was the dog. He’s gotten back under the covers, you know. We were doing really well for a while. We’d banished him from his incessant bed hogging and snoring and blanket covering and flatulence on our bed, and with weapons forced him to sleep […]

Grey’s: So let me get this straight.

October 26, 2007

Since the first three seasons of Grey’s Anatomy were spread over a year, based on the plotlines of this year, we are meant to swallow the following: Meredith Grey starts her internship at the same time Derek Shepherd discovers his wife’s infidelity and leaves New York for Seattle. They commence bumping uglies. He stalks her […]

In light of what’s gone on over the last 8 years…

October 25, 2007

This article horrifies me. The media misquoted, shredded, hounded Al Gore in the 2000 election campaign, and gave GWB, the “folksy” “downhome” “unintentional politician” virtually a free pass. Scary stuff.

Now this is funny shit.

October 22, 2007

On a narrow Tokyo street, near a beef bowl restaurant and a pachinko parlor, Aya Tsukioka demonstrated new clothing designs that she hopes will ease Japan’s growing fears of crime. Deftly, Ms. Tsukioka, a 29-year-old experimental fashion designer, lifted a flap on her skirt to reveal a large sheet of cloth printed in bright red […]

Star Trek: The Diaper Generation

October 18, 2007

There’s a new Star Trek movie coming out, which will tell the tales of the early days of the Starship Enterprise crew as they attend Starfleet Academy. Picture it: young Kirk, Spock, and McCoy having romulan ale keg parties. Just like keg parties at any university today, except the strippers are green. They’ve announced the […]

Grey’s.

October 17, 2007

All right, I’ve waited a few episodes before I started ranting. I figured I should. After all, I am certain that I wasn’t the only one who, vocally, loudly and probably rudely, expressed in no uncertain terms that Grey’s blew huge chunkage last year. So I thought I’d give the writers a chance, to see […]

October 16, 2007

Just a few weeks ago, a new law came in to effect in Ontario. After several deaths related to the dangerous practice of street racing, the Ontario government introduced legislation that would allow for severe penalties on those who choose to partake in street racing. From CBC: Under the new law, minimum fines for street […]

Blog Action Day: March to your own green beat.

October 15, 2007

Today is Blog Action Day for the Environment - thanks to the folks at TreeHugger for spreading the word! Environmental issues tend to be ones for which I don’t have much trouble finding something to say. Aside from being the opinionated turd I can often be, this subject is everywhere. It’s in the news every […]

iPhone isn’t managing to get here anytime soon.

October 12, 2007

Someone’s claiming trademark infringement. We are never getting that damn phone. Maybe I’ll have to settle for a Touch. I doubt I’d need the phone anyway, and the data program is probably going to be mortifyingly expensive. You can browse the web on the Touch. I’m addicted to the interweb. So that’s all I need. […]

Tonight in the Ontario Election: The results

October 11, 2007

They’re interviewing this shyster Randy Hillier from the PCs. He’s killing me. “We’re in for four more years of lying and broken promises and lost manufacturing jobs in Ontario, that’s what we’re in for.” Tell us how you really feel, buddy. The campaign is over, fella. You can put down your mudpies. Then: “The media […]
