Weather talk… that sort of thing.

At the moment, it’s that kind of weather around these parts. The kind that is somewhat warm if not humid, but windy if not cool. It’s a near conflict of the senses, but not enough to be considered something terrible or anything. Perfect kind of weather for a student strike…

Fucking hell…
Yeah, so around these parts, students have been on strike due to rising tuition hikes. These strikes have resulted in the usual bullshit that I don’t want to get into, what with the proposed law and resulting riots, but here’s a convenient link to get you up to speed.
Back in my day, we didn’t have student strikes. We had drop-outs… that’s all I’m commenting on.

Random Thought Of The Day

The title might be a misnomer since this blog is comprised almost entirely of random thoughts, but I digress.

I just recently picked up a brand spanking new keyboard that isn’t mini… and suddenly I find myself having to relearn how to type, after months of being on a minikeyboard and netbook keyboard layout.

Not to mention a lot less space on the desk.

Definitely need to clean this top up.

It's Snowing… and other things

Yeah, I woke up this morning and saw the block covered in snow. And to think, I went to bed 3 a.m. and the place was clean as a sheet… oh well. It was fun while it lasted… I guess I have to contend with snow and stupid idiots to finish off my Christmas shopping. Good thing it’s almost done…

I’m currently rendering a vlog regarding an interesting observation made over WWE 12. Will upload it soon.

Six Reasons The Guy Fixing Your Computer Hates You

From the venerable genius at cracked.com comes six reasons the guy who you hired to fix your computer hates you. The truly sad thing is that, as funny as this might seem, some of it is actually true.

I took a course in desktop publishing once upon a time and one of the things they teach you is how your computer works and how you can fix it whenever a problem comes up. This was emmencely useful for me because I use a computer a lot and being able to fix these things myself rather than rely on someone else to do it is extremely helpful.

The side effect is that sometimes, I get calls to go over to someone’s house and fix their computers and it’s usually for really minor stuff. Sometimes, it’s to re-install Windows and other stuff like that. But more than anything, the one thing they often say beforehand is that their computer is running slow. Why is their computer running slow?

And so I help with their computer woes… and then two months later, I have to do it again… and this is why I no longer want to fix computers. Not even my own.

In any case, the link is there and it’s Funny stuff. And somewhat of a good point and true to form…

Vegas-vacationing NDP Member of Parlament still missing.

For those who don’t know, Canada recently had a federal election, the end result being Stephen Harper’s Conservatives finally having gotten their long-sought majority government. Serving as the Official Opposition in Parliament is Jack Layton’s New Democrat Party… their first time in that position actually.
Why is this remotely interesting? See, while most nominees for their riding were busy campaign, the same cannot be said for NDP Berthier-Maskinonge Candidate, Ruth Ellen Brosseau, who spent the entire campaign trail vacationing in Las Vegas. I wouldn’t be surprised if she wasn’t even remotely aware that she actually won.

Oops…

Jack’s off to a great start…

To Anyone Who Cares About Canadian Politics…

In the 2011 Canadian Federal Election…

Stephen Harper finally got his long-sought majority government…

Jack Layton’s New Democratic Party is the Official Opposition…

The Liberals have been reduced to a third wheel…

And the Bloc Quebecois have been DESTROYED & BURIED and Gilles Duceppe has STEPPED DOWN.

Merci et salut la visite, you motherfucking piece of shit.

STOP SNOWING! And give me ad revenue by watching this short vid!

So, Jimmy Rolfe has been complaining about snow… and you know what? I can’t say I blame him. I used to complain about snow all the time. Now we get less of it these days. In fact, in the past couple months, there’s only been a couple snowstorms at most around my area with only a few scattered snowfalls roughly a centimeter worth.

Hooray For Global Warming!

By the way, how cute was it that he brought up one of his old “Bullshit” videos covering weather? Especially since the near-ninety-second video is sandwiched between two thirty-second ads for that oh-so-worth revenue? Gag me…

You know something? This gave me an idea… we’ll see if it materializes into anything.
