“Babyface” Trudeau Speaks Moistly No More

Someone did a video of soon-to-be former PM Justin “Babyface” Trudeau’s rather “unfortunate” choice of words during a press conference years ago. Said video was featured on this blog once upon a time.

This is pretty much the only happy memory there is to be had with Trudeau, who has been in office since 2015 and has been on a downward spiral ever since. Part of me wonders if he took a walk in the snow in much the same way his old man did when he stepped down from office back in ’84.

Truth be told, I’ve had no issues with the man until I read the news. Maybe ignorance and obliviousness are better allies that I would have imagined, but every stupid thing I hear him say or do makes me facepalm and headdesk. Really, when you’ve done such a shitty job running the country that the buffoon taking office down decides that the country in question should be another state, that’s when you know it’s time to throw in the towel.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s famous words were “Just watch me.”

Well, Canadians did watch Justin Trudeau… walk off a cliff and land head first into the trashheap.

Like I said, I’ve no issues with the man personally… but I ain’t shedding a tear over his loss, either. I can only hope that the next PM ends up being a far better deal than what we’ve had this past decade because we really need it.

Should Be Getting A New PC This Weekend

Been meaning to get a new desktop PC for a while now with some decent specs at affordable pricing. Nothing too fancy, but far stronger than my old dying HP Omen and hopefully suitable enough to get a decent stream going; something that I’ve not been able to do with the mini PC I’ve got going on here.

What will become of the mini PC? Oh, it’ll still see regular use – it has to since that’s where VEGAS and most of the gaming stuff is situated. Also, it’s a nice convenient device that I can pack up and take with me on a road trip whenever I need to, so it’ll always have a use. However, I do miss having a proper desktop on hand and hopefully, this will lead to bigger and better things going forward… such as proper live streams because those things are long overdue and I’m clamoring to do one sooner than later.

Black Friday Stuff

Before anyone asks, reviews are being shoehorned to the end of the week… been busy with stuff and illness. Nothing serious, but enough to curtail some stuff that I was working on. That and Black Friday.

Some fun stuff on the horizon, actually. I picked up a new monitor and I’m supposed to get a new desktop some time this week. It’s comparable to the old one, but costs less. Is it a gaming powerhouse? Probably not, but it’s enough to hopefully run my old shit competently enough and perhaps even start up on some live streaming, which I’m hoping to get back to doing sometime next year.

Not much else to say at this point… I’ve got some reviews in the horizon that’s under various states of not finished… and there’s also Christmas shopping… and there’s a couple other side projects that I’d like to get out of the way.

Should be fun… or maybe it’ll be painful…

Birthday And Stuff…

Welp… it’s that time of year where I am a year older than I was last year.

This is where people will start wishing me a happy birthday and I’d be polite about it.

I’d like to be able to say that I’m excited… but I’m not.

I don’t recall the last time I had anything resembling a “happy” birthday. Has to have been decades ago. Instead, I merely have a birthday – neither happy or otherwise. It’s a day that exists to get out of the way and move on with my life. There’s a get-together over the weekend, gifts are received, cake is offered along with some sort of meal, and then I spend the rest of the night taking a dump because something I ate made me sick.

As to what I’m doing today… well, I’ll be working. I’ll be going home afterwards. And after who knows what, I’ll be going to bed… in other words, business as usual.

And you know what? I am perfectly fine with that.

Best to get it out of the way and not fret about this.

So, that was completely morose and depressing… I’ll think of something else to post later.

Last Weekend Enforced My Lack Of Faith In Humanity

I very rarely lean into real world, serious stuff, but I figured that I’d chime in a quick thought on what happened this past weekend involving Donald Trump. I assume you know the details by now, so I won’t repeat that here. I do wish to offer my prayers and best wishes to the families of the one attendee who was killed and two others who were injured.

Why No Star Wars News?

May The 4th came and went… and apparently, they announced some stuff for new Star Wars streaming shows or something like that. I wouldn’t know. I didn’t check. I didn’t care enough to look it up. So how did I celebrate Star Wars day?

I didn’t.

I spent the morning cooking up lunch, then the afternoon doing some cleaning while the Backlash show was playing in the background, and in the evening, I just did some family stuff before finding time to some quick dubs for future things. Sunday was spent with family dinner, went out for some stuff, and did other things… yeah, not the most exciting weekend, but it kept me occupied and I didn’t have to worry about any upcoming Star Wars news for things that I don’t care about. So if I don’t get excited about the things that you get excited about and this upsets you for some reason… maybe the problem is you and not me.

I don’t need a “Star Wars Day” to celebrate Star Wars or do Star Wars things. I can do Star Wars things any other day and it wouldn’t make much of a difference. There’s no one time of the year where I “need” to watch or do some Star Wars stuff. I can do that stuff whenever. Hell, I might watch Star Wars on Star Trek day… what do you think about that?

Anyway, I don’t know why I was compelled to write this blurb… I should probably tend to the pup.
