I don’t think I would actually want to live in Japan, if only because it seems to be a rather more overtly misogynistic society than the relatively respectful Canada I know and love (emphasis on word overt), plus you know, the whole I don’t speak Japanese thing, but damn it sure would be a cool […]

Last Christmas I received the video game Wii Fit.  It wasn’t a hint; I wanted the game.  I enjoy doing yoga but long ago grew bored of yoga DVDs and since first trying a live class many years ago I wasn’t keen on going back to a class in real life, with like… real people.  *shudder* […]

I’ve lived in the condo on Wolfe for six years and the lot of those years were happy but maybe not happy enough. It’s time to move on, I’m done shedding tears. I’ve got to get going, sorting, cleaning and packing up all of this stuff. The Mountie called and played MP3s while I sat […]

I wrote this in 1996 or thereabouts and damn if it doesn’t ring true now as well:   Just because one is not Doesn’t mean the other is Burned the flame that got too hot Put it out with my Cheez-Wiz WATER TASTES LIKE TIN ALUMINIUM Laugh track will replace me once again Never running […]

I believe I briefly ranted at one point before about how I’ve always felt a certain kinship with Geordie La Forge and his blindness.  He wears a visor to see but it gives him constant headaches and is just generally a pain in the butt.  I relate because my glasses are so incredibly heavy (yes, […]

I hate ugly shoes. Allow me to elaborate. I know it’s 35 degrees out with the humidex but unless you are about to take a shower in a campground, walk on the beach or wade in a lake, you should not be wearing flip-flops. Those things are fug. And they make annoying flippety-floppity noises. And […]

If you smoke, you are gross.  What a disgusting indulgence.  It’s just like, icky.  It makes you stinky and phlegmy and nasty.  You know why people don’t regularly roll around in dog shit?  ‘Cause it’s gross.  So is smoking.   It’s one thing to abuse drugs that don’t affect others, though I would argue there’s no […]

So you know how sometimes life is just too good and you think to yourself “wow, I really wish everything would turn to shit so I could get back to living in hell”?  Well, when you get that feeling I recommend taking a few steps to remedy the situation.  Here’s what to do: Break up […]

Different people are different.  I know that’s hard for you to understand because you are you and you want everyone else on the planet to be exactly like you but I am me and I don’t want to be like you because in my opinion you suck and I rock.  I know you think you […]
