Apartments Just Don't Smell Like Christmas
There are exactly three days standing between me and a cozy spot in front of my parent’s fireplace, unceasingly eating peanut butter balls like they’re going out of style. THREE. MORE.DAYS. I’m not sure what it is, but I never feel even slightly excited about Christmas until I walk in the door of the ol’ childhood home and my Grinchy-ness is overcome by a triple smackdown...

Mug Shot Metamorphosis - December 4, 2008
A before and after of an in-and-out of prison convict, Michael Campbell, with about 5 years between pictures.
You would think as a convict, you’d want to be, you know, NOT memorable. I guess in the end it didn’t work out for him either, since he’s back in the bighouse.

Why are there so few interesting people? Out of the millions, why aren’t there a few? Must we continue to live with this drab and ponderous species? Seems their only act is violence. They are so good at that. They truly blossom. Shit flowers, stinking up our chance. Problem is, I must continue to interact with them. That is, if I want to flush the toilet, buy a new tire, get a tooth pulled or my...

oh to be different
“Most children abhor difference. They want to look, talk, dress, and act exactly like all of the others. If the style of dress is an absurdity, it is pain and sorrow to a child not to wear that absurdity. If necklaces of pork chops were accepted, it would be a sad child who could not wear pork chops. And this slavishness to the group normally extends into every game, every practice, social...

WatchVampires have mad game apparently. I think the whole Twilight thing is that first in what I’m sure will be a long line of trends that have made me realize I am not ‘with it’ any more. No wait, there was also that time in Grade 2 when everyone was into those pacifier necklaces that I didn’t get…and those ugly ass troll dolls that were everywhere in Grade 5….

Stephen Harper gets desperate:
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has obtained Governor-General Michaëlle Jean’s consent to temporarily shut down Parliament, a move that allows him to avoid a confidence vote next week that he was expected to lose.

Evvvvvver so patiently waiting for S to get home I can watch the new episode of Dexter that is so temptingly sitting on a flash drive in the livingroom. In the meantime, I’m really loving this blog; really smart, practical personal finance advice that goes beyond the extreme frugality mindset of “EAT RAMEN DON’T GO OUT DON’T SHOP WORK 70 HOURS A WEEK”.

So I was leafing through my Facebook inbox on this exceptionally gray and slushy afternoon, and found one of my umpteen million Inbox messages to D. Now, me and D don’t get to talk too often since neither of us are phone people, so most of our day to day talking is through cell phone text...
