I do enjoy professors who have their own books as course material however.

Then come and read the rest.
I was waiting at the bus stop a few weeks ago and lo and behold, I see the exact same guy asking for money. I really didn’t realize it until he started crossing the street and I looked up from my book.
Unbelievable. I cannot begin to fathom the absurdity of this guy playing up the same ‘I need money for the shelter and I’m from Toronto’ routine.
This person is the sole reason that I am now not going to give to people on the street. When I feel generous, I’ll go give to an organization. Sure, some may bring up the fact that with an organization you still don’t know where the money is going, but heck, I would rather give to them rather than a crook playing the poor saps waiting for a bus.
Argh!
Yes! One of my all-time favourite episodes here.
A little background so you see the hilarity in it. We had random people come onto the show before it started and read lines off a sheet of paper. They did not know what context they were in. So when Bob and Jethro assembled the show they saw what their lines were actually used for.
Classic episode here.

Last night I had a few minutes to kill so I decided to pick up an Archie comic for Vero.
I enter The Wizard’s Tower in Ottawa University to find a young lady behind the counter.
Me: Hi, do you have any Archie comics?
Lady: Who?
Me: Archie? The kid with red hair? A funny comic book?
Lady: I don’t think they have that here. Wait let me check. What’s that name again?
Me: Archie. It’s alright, I’ll look around.
Lady: No, no, I’ll check under ‘A’. No, nothing here.
Me (upon seeing a box full of them on the floor): Hey, here’s one. Here he is, Archie Andrews – the red haired kid.
Lady: Oh, it was in the back issue box.
Point of Ryan’s Blog Entry today: If you are going to work in a comic book store to get some cash, please know who Archie Andrews is. It’s insulting to not know.

Oh, slumber, how nice are thee,
My question is, what do you mean I would look normal if they were both the same length? 😉
In my opinion, she is on the worst co-op term EVER. Why?
She has no Internet.
Ugh. I mean, working in a regular position without the Internet would be deadly, but a co-op position where they are notorious for being really, really boring? Gak.
I feel for her, I really do. That, coupled with the fact that the closest bus still drops her off 20 minutes away from work doesn’t help my thoughts of her going through crazy snow storms only to arrive at work and sit in front of a computer which is essentially useless because of no Internet.
I want those out there that were in the workforce before the Internet to recount some tales of how the heck the day went by.

What the heck is an MR8-HD?
A digital multitracker that I just picked up this past weekend.
What’s a digitial multi-tracker?
The path to the future.
In all reality, it’s recording equipment for musicians. So I can plug in the guitar, a mic and whatever else and give’r. It’s pretty slick. Mike, Eric and I played around with it for awhile on Saturday night before the poker game at Shannon’s and were impressed. It’s pretty simple once you read the instructions (duh!). I can see some very fun things happening with this. One thing that will come of this is more ambition into songwriting. I used to write quite a bit, but left it a few years back…perhaps it was because I hated coming up with something and then the next day not really remembering how it went…
In other music news – Do not laugh…but I have heard that Guns N Roses WILL release Chinese Democracy this year. March, in fact.
Chez 106 had a segment on how they enjoyed this constants on January 1st – how you always think you’ll go back to the gym, how you feel bloated after a week of binging, and how the new GNR album will never come out again this year.

Jason introduced Eric to this movie who then introduced it to me.
Two cues way up for this movie. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Follow the life of a billiard genius who gets stuck in his life hustling the pool tables instead of getting into the big leagues where he’s meant to be.
Highlights: Lex Luthor with hair! Also, Christopher Walken (aka Uncle Mike.) You cannot go wrong with Christopher Walken in a movie (other than James Bond: The Living Daylights).
Rent this movie now!
