31.01.06email: usually non-fatal
Who do you blame for this sort of thing? Going postal is becoming trendy. Who’s to blame? The media for popularizing this stress reliever? The system for psychologically grinding these people into psychotic desperation? The postal service for its hiring practices? Parents? Hollywood? Smith & Wesson? Video games? Maxwell House? Has anyone employed in the [...]
28.01.06not dead yet
No, no. I’m not dead. It’s just that my computer almost is. Anyone have a nice cpu, maybe 2GHz, they wouldn’t miss? Also a clean copy of XP? Daddy could really use a major rebuild. *sigh* Many pics are coming. Also entertaining and enlightening stories. Just as soon as I can pull my foot out [...]
23.01.06Vote!
Good luck to the good guys today. And here’s wishing more good sense to BC. Need help deciding where you stand? There’s a very helpful vote analyzer at The Globe and Mail. It’s about halfway down the page as part of their Decision 2006 coverage. Turns out I’m mostly Green Party (4/7) with a generous [...]
tony@fogarassy.ca, letters@straight.com, svend@svendrobinson.com Tony, You are the Conservative candidate for my electoral region. Your representative knocked on my door at 2pm on a Sunday to ask for my vote. I wanted to invite them in to ask for their response to this blog post: http://lola.metroblogs.net/?p=13 but rather than interrupt my own pleasant Sunday afternoon any [...]
22.01.06time out
Here’s a tricky bit. Maigen may have to leave the country for a while. Her six months are up. She doesn’t have to go forever (it’ll just feel that way), but she does have to go. Missing her will be the hardest part, obviously. But we’ve also got all sorts of plans. Engagement brunch in [...]
19.01.06so they’re in space. so what?
Just watched the latest episode of BSG. The final scene with Adama and Roslin is some of the finest acting, especially on the part of Edward James Olmos, that I have seen in recent memory. Certainly the finest I have yet seen in a science fiction drama. The subtle shift in his facial expression as [...]
19.01.06when g-men clash
This should be interesting. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of G-men vs G-men in the near future as the Big Brother Bus bumbles on. heh. G-men vs G-men. I so just made that up.
17.01.06driven: not the driver
I don’t want to be a politician. I don’t think I would like what it does to you. You either stay strong and inviolate and you maybe break, or you begin to flex, and maybe lose sight of what drove you here in the first place. And it must be that you are driven here. [...]
14.01.06Harper knows it all
In the interest of making informed decisions I took some time to read a brief and biased look at Stephen Harper, whom many are touting as the next Prime Minister of Canada. I say the article is biased because it clouds over what I believe is the real hinge pin: his inflexibility. While people obviously [...]
