Dear Vancouver Canucks,

I'm proud of you guys. It sucks that you lost, but hey. You made it to the finals, it was an awesome ride, and it was generally kick ass. Way to go.

Dear Vancouver Canuck Asshole Fans,

I'm so fucking ashamed. Way to show everyone what a world class city we are.

Dear Rest Of The World,

I'm not exactly sure why, but I have been dragging my butt all week. I'm just exhausted. This isn't helped by being called into work all three of my previous days off, but hey.

Just a short little something today.

1) Good day at work. No frustrating customers (thank goodness), not too busy and not too dead. One of my coworkers even treated us all to coffee. I've got the next couple days off and a stack of books right next to my bed. You do the math as to how I'll be spending that time.

2) Speaking of books, I'm on my ( Read more... )

I have discovered something that puts my personal caffeine dependency in perspective. I was shocked, certainly, but I won't say I was both a little impressed and a little comforted by it.

Jewels took me out for coffee last night.

It was just shy nine o'clock at night, and I certainly didn't need to be buzzing at that particular hour of the day. As ( Read more... )

May 2nd is coming guys. No excuses.

Gather 'round children. I got a story for you. Or at least a simplified version of events.

Once upon a time, there was an organization up here above the 49th Parallel. This organization was called the CRTC. The CRTC was in charge of looking after and regulating all things telecommunication -- TV, radio, and even the internet.
