I called the Windsor Essex County Health Unit today, and the woman I spoke with upon pressing "0" told me that she believes the H1N1 vaccine clinic tomorrow is for anyone, not just those 65 and older. If I drag my bum all the way there tomorrow with an infant and not quite two year old in tow only to discover that we* can't get the vaccine yet, I ( Read more... )

"That'd be funny if you were a drummer, and you grabbed two magical wands instead of drumsticks. You're pounding out the beat, '1-2-3-4 oh shit, my bass player's now a can of soup! Sorry, Rick.. I mean, Cream of Mushroom!'" (Mitch Hedberg, Do You Believe in Gosh?)

As expected, the student-teacher dialogue test went fine but for the directions bit. What's near the cafeteria? Uh. The hell if I know. Where can you buy some tea? First floor.

Watching Hockey Night in Canada. Mats is back, and Darcy had a funny rumble with one of the Bruins earlier on, but the scoreboard is doing its best to greatly diminish my joy. Perhaps a meme will help to temper my disappointment.

Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. After, post ( Read more... )

"An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an 'Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order' sign, only 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience'" - Mitch Hedberg ( Read more... )

"See, I'm a dreamer, man. And when I was a cook I'd always work with people who weren't dreamers.
