I'm currently reading Stephen King's The Stand (and have been so for the past month or so, holy Christ on a toast this brick is long, more so since it's actually the new uncut version). What attracted me at first to the book was the post-Apocalyptic promise of horror (via virus - physical virus that is) and fantasy. I'm kind of fascinated with ( Read more... )

It's my dad's birthday today, but on lj-land it's also kerosinkanister's big day as well. So happy birthday to both! At least it's one lj birthday I can't likely forget, lol. How old are you again, old man? ;P ( Read more... )

Hailstorm this weekend in Sudbury (which is near River Ontario). I'm speechless, really. We did finally get our rainstorm yesterday but umm this is crazy haha ( Read more... )

Hmm... My GPA's dropped quite a bit. 3.28. I closed off last year with 3.36 so it's quite a drop, but I blame it on the Programming and Politics classes. I got B's and B+'s this past semester, while last year I had a tiny sprinkling of A's to keep it up. But I'm not worried. Last semester was tough and it's only going to get tougher as I go along.

Holy gosh, people. It's snowing a blast. Not icky, heavy, slushy, hell-to-shovel snow, but real light snow! Lots of it!  *twirls!* Although the city idiots haven't cleared the streets yet so it's hell to drive and I saw two trucks swerve by as I was shoveling half an hour ago. Scary experience, that was. For a while I was afraid they'd crash into ( Read more... )

I am back! And... well, to be honest, I expected it. It totally whipped by butt. But I think I did fairly okay. I was just... sitting there beating my head in, wondering why I hadn't read the textbook like another million times, but I guess it's fine. Thanks for the good luck wishes :)

Oh, and I freaked the shit out when I found out I'd been waiting ( Read more... )

The Governor General granted Harper's request to postpone parliament while he gets his ministers in line and his agenda in order. I'm not sure what this means for the Coalition and whether they'll push for more support. I dunno whether Harper will try to stick another election under our noses next year. Nothing's quite clear at this point. So that' ( Read more... )

Nationwide address tonight. I wonder... will I watch Harper beg the people and more importantly the Governor General, Michaëlle Jean (who, quite ironically - the LULZ never stop I tell you - used to be a separatist. I have No Fucking Clue how she got her new post), to please please please let him stay in power while Stéphane Dion or whoever the ( Read more... )

I love acrylics.

But that's not the point of this post. OMG, guys, we might very well be making Canadian history. This would be a first here. As I said at the dinner table, "OMG, we're reenacting Star Wars".

Some dude from Harper's govt was trashing Harper himself this morning, and suddenly we hear about the three opposition parties (Liberals, New ( Read more... )

No kata today! No crush either, but OMG NO KATA! So we did some regular ol' judo and then some sacrifice techniques which, might I say, I hadn't done in a while. So they were pretty schrumpy. But whatev.

I also kicked Zander in the nuts three or four times (I kind of lost count). They were all his fault, I swear. When you're falling, you don't have ( Read more... )
