Don't leave a voicemail, seriously.

Jonathon Roy (son of Patrick) fighting like an asshole. Apparently daddy egged this on? WTF cock, it's one thing when you're a complete JERK but it's another thing to teach your kid to be like that.

There's a story on the CBC right now about Viggo at the TIFF forgetting he wasn't in the States. Oh well, I mean, Toronto's basically the States, right?

Ok, so Jenn and I determined that me not going to Wincon was not feasible. Therefore, I am coming after all. If I lose my job, I'm totally doing a Cassie Claire laptopgate flounce where I expect my rent to be paid by paypal donations (or, more likely, ask my mom for money).


SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH. Ok, maybe I'll put myself on a panel this year as I did not last year. Where are those fake flame wars and bad fic submissions, people? This con is what you make it!

(I get in at midnight on Thursday. Expect me to have work "emergencies" all weekend and have to run out on you. I might even be *gasp* SOBER a lot of the time!)

I'm on the phone w/ the Canadian Consulate trying to find out how to vote. There's NOTHING on the website about it. What crap.

There is NO option on the menu covering what I need to know. The Canadian government makes everything impossible, I swear. It's like a skit. It is good to know if I need "immediate attention" there's a menu option. I'm randomly pressing buttons now. One of the options is for someone to read me the website url. How dumb are people who call this number that they don't know what google is?

Are you kidding? I defeat the menu and then get shifted to a VOICEMAIL? ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Nate is coming like next week, maybe he can get me an absentee ballot? KILLLLLLLLLL! He's dragging me to a hockey game. That should be lollertastic. I think the last time I was at a NHL game was when that crazy dude poured the beer on me. Great. Never in my life did I envision going to a Ducks game.

Periodic table of videos <------- mad scientist hilarity! University of Nottingham chemists explaining random anecdotes about elements.

One take on why Quebec sovereignty is dumb. Tbh, I don't think even the people who claim to want sovereignty. I think it's the stick that a certain element in Quebec public life use to bludgeon the rest of the country with to get certain allowances from the federal government. It's an old model that's rapidly becoming more and more outdated. There are all kinds of problems with the whole CONCEPT of separation, the least of which isn't the fact the the health care system in Quebec is in such a shambles. I mean, people don't want to move across the river in Ottawa because they don't want to give up Ontario healthcare for A REASON. There's also the Supreme Court ruling that I mention in the comments on that post. I mean, at this point? It's just over for the separationists. It's be great if they caught the clue train.


Hi, yeah, I have as many opinions on Canadian politics as American.

Ok, I know not all of you are on fbr_t (WHY????????) so I bring you this HILARIOUS thread with BAD TATTOOS(more like lots and lots of song lyric tattoos). Come lol with me, let's lol, let's lol away!


Today: I talked on the phone. That's about it!

Oh, how about a picture of vampire Frank? SIIIIIIIIIIIGH.

Also, anyone else catch some of Lou Dobbs' "Independent Convention?" How could CNN even allow this garbage on the air? Since when is Lou "Fathead" Dobbs independent of anything but common decency? Is Robert Novak also now "independent?"

I was discussing w/ Nate earlier about how ALL of the news channels don't even attempt to have some sort of pundit neutrality. Remember when Begala and Carville were limited to CROSSFIRE because they're NOT REPORTERS but affiliated strategists? He also told me that Begala and Donna Brazile got into it on air, and I must youtube that. Eggheads and African Americans??? Why doesn't she just run herself? Don't read the comments if you want to avoid having a stroke. Americans, why do you suck?


Crazy Pickens is my new favorite guy.
