News 2003
-December 17, 2003- I wasn't going to do
this, but on Lou's request, NutkinLand.
Don't go if you are in no way a geek,
gamer, history buff, or top notch, proffessional shit
thrower. Don't judge me by the msg boards I
hang out on. PLEASE.
-December 7, 2003- Adam, please don't kill me for what I'm about to post.
The two towers... how
it was meant to
be seen.
-December 4, 2003-All I can say is WOW... makes me wanna
scream echo. I know, I'll never really get to the
real everest...
-December 3, 2003- This could get me in trouble.... the Dr. Seuss purity
test: now bringing you a 56% pure bunny.
-December 2, 2003- Curiouser and curiouser.... in addition to adding model
to my resume I've just been informed that
I'll be volunteering as a brownie leader.... it's a similar
situation because this is a role I never figured
I'd be able to fill... only time will tell I guess. Shouldn't
be too bad, though. The most children
I'll be in charge of at any time is 4. eeeek.
-November 30, 2003- So, i'm clicking around in nutkinland, and someone
posts a funny page thread... I go in and what
should I find but Wil Wheaton's blog. Goddamit! if only
the puppy from rab really did rip out his
esophagus for not being a guest star in the
6th episode. And all this because some hooters waitress
says to him "didn't you used to be an actor?"
-November 27, 2003- Okay, so i wasn't gonna update
today, but Dave at NG just had to put out a brand new
Retarded Animal Babies
for the american thanksgiving.
SO this is me doing my obligatory duty
to say go watch this politically incorrect, violent,
sexually explicit cartoon about five animals spending
thanksgiving at will weatons house (don't ask... just
don't fuckin ask). And just because i'm such an
obsessive compulsive geek, i found all 15 clickable
bits in the flash animation. AND this is why I
had to put up this post- BECAUSE when you click on
the hydra, well.. 
Makes me feel so
unoriginal, and behind the times. grr and damn you
all!
- Yay, i got sized up and readied for my awesome
goth outfit that soon i will be modeling. I still
can't believe I got a modeling job, even if it is just
for Bleeding Rose, a local
store's online site. But
but but, it's just something i never thought
i'd end up doing. I think Elf put it well when he said I
didn't seem vapid enough to be a model... I'll show
him *teehee*
-November 26, 2003- I have determined that there
are three ways to come about being happy: accepting what you have
and feeling no envy for something else; not knowing
any better (ignorance is bliss); and a sudden
blessing or incident that happens from out of nowhere
without any feasible ill side effects. I'm sure
there's more, and this is all lies, but it just struck
me and i felt it necessary to share so that others can
shoot down my poorly devised theories.
-November 24, 2003- Buy your very own dybbuk
box... something to keep your plush cthulhu in, i guess :)
It is pretty spooky though.
-November 19, 2003-
-Whistling as a form of communication??? apparently
so. The
silbo language is being revived and
taught in schools. I would get such bad marks in that class, I can't
whistle worth...well, you know.
-November 16, 2003- I came upon a reference to Cthulhu,
and had no idea what it was, so searched on google and
found this... it
did answer my questions, and also
reaffirmed my belief that some creative people
have too much time on their hands
-Speaking of which- 
-November 15, 2003- I hate my brother....
go here and you'll
hate him too.
-November 14, 2003- composed of various quotes by the prez.
my idea of brilliance....
MAKE THE PIE HIGHER
by George W. Bush
I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings
take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
((I know i should quit...
making fun of mr. bush is soooo shooting fish on a trophy)
-November 11, 2003- George Bernard Shaw observed: "The reasonable man adapts
himself to the world: the
unreasonable one persists in
trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress
depends on the unreasonable
man."
-November 9, 2003- From Dilbert: "Needing someone
is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time you
need
him, chances are you won't be
needing him again."
-November 7, 2003- Not the reason i drink, but a
good reason to drink
-November 3, 2003- anyone wanting to shop for a christmas
present for me should go here....
-November 2, 2003-
I caught the scent of lilac on the bus today and it shot me back
to the hospital room i lay in this
spring, awaiting surgery
on my wrist. It was a strange flashback resulting in a bit of nausea
at the
memory of the aging dying
people in the room with me, their scent mixed with the scent of the
sanitizers and the not nearly
powerful enough lilac clipping my mother brought to cheer me up.
All the feelings of this
early spring launched on me in full force, and i realize how far things
have
come since. It reminds me
of the movie, Like Water For Chocolate, when the heroine's doctor
is
making matches he says there
are matches inside each of us and small things such as a touch, taste
or scent will set them off
and make us realize we are alive. We only have so many, and when we
burn the last one, that is
death. It's kind of weird, but it seemed appropriate to think of it
at the time.
- Joan Osborne's only hit "what if god was one
of us" (i know that's not the actual title) has been
following me around for three
days. I'm afraid..... and yet it's not actually stuck in my head.
- I finally got around to watching vanilla sky.
i wonder why it took me so long. It was better than i
expected, and what do you
know, Tom Cruise can act *shock!* It brings up a lot of interesting
points though, and heralds
back to this philosphical theory about a reality where it is impossible
for you to not have the outcome
of your desire (mind the double negative, but it's standard
philosophical jargon). Anyhoo,
the point is, if you could have the end of your choice, knowing that
despite how real it feels
it isn't, would you take it, or would you rather have a reality that
won't
live up to the realistic
lie. I guess it is a difficult choice, but if i would never know
the difference
why would i care. I'd spend
the rest of eternity under vanilla skies if it meant no more worries.
If you have an opinion
leave a msg, (either email, or g/b) and share. We'd all love to
hear.
-October 28, 2003-Happy Haloweenies,
go watch, is spooky
- After seeing a good friend of mine really sad last night
i give some advice to all:
life is too short for bad coffee, bad chocolate,
bad sex, and assholes.
There, it's said. Understand it, and don't
waste your prescious time.
-October 21, 2003-VWeeehheeeeheee,
one day i'll get over my j.k. rowling obssession, but until then,
this page is
my
heroin It kind of reminds me of comix
i've seen mare and amber do... only nonsensical in a different
way :) I likes
the muffins.
-October 20, 2003-
After nine years, I finally got to see Sloan live in concert. The
twelve year old in me is still in shock
(note to self, stop eating twelve year olds..)
The first song they played when they hit the stage was
underwhelmed.
I couldn't help but be giddy! I think I sprained my ankle in the
mosh pit though.
that's just not cool.
- Swing your arms from side to side. Come on it's
time to go, do the mario!
-October 16, 2003-
In my wanderings around UVic, some good advice comes back to
me... never buy raisins from rabbits.
-October 15, 2003-
Go forth unto the guest book, and do as the robo-butt has ordered,
by penalty of doom to you all! sign
or die!!! (well, actually, sign and die eventually--
is more accurate.) but like, seriously, i'm getting some
abandonment issues here, and i'm thinking
that lou is the root cause, as he spoiled the whole thing by
signing regularly, then completely abandoning
my sad little guest book, so it looks so empty of late.
but, that's enough self indulgence...
- Something to disturb-- miss mary-lou works at kfc
(disturbing enough but it gets worse) They have a
standard black socks only rule, which is
fine, professional, whatever. BUT, if you fail to wear black
socks you get written up (one of those
three strikes situations). No big deal, because most pants go
right down to the ankles, so if all yer black
socks are dirty and you have to wear patterned or heaven
forbid, gray socks no one will see anyway, i
mean it's kfc, everyone works behind a counter, the only
people who will know are the people who work
there, if they see them, right? nope, they have
random sock checks. This level of anal retentive
obsessive compulsive mind/physical appearance
control is freakish... and inconsistent, given
there's nothing in the rules that says kfc employees can't
have creative face piercings or even funky
colored hair. Why the socks????? I guess i'm really only
bitching 'cause i like funky socks,
and feel that socks deserve liberty.
-October 14, 2003-
this
is just soooo cool. it takes a minute to realize just how many
people are involved in this neat little
human trick :) it's just all with the
uber neat.
-October 11, 2003- Go here to read a news
article on the trial about the crack addicted mother charged
with murder of her
unborn child. The article outlines a lot
of details i hadn't heard in the cbc story, such as the fact that
there was skepticism as to whether or not her
addiction could even cause the death of the baby.
Apparently this has been a hugely controversial
story in the states.
- I was watching the New VI's speakers corner
today, with vague hope of seeing mare singing the
snitzel song. and I was surprised at
the number of homeless people i recognize from around the
downtown core asking for better treatment
from the people who walk by, respect and a lack of
judgment, and hope that there would
be better programs for these people who've fallen between
the cracks of society, all too often
for reasons beyond their control. It all really makes me feel
so
lazy. i figure it's time for me to do
something really good. I've been so depressed about this world,
people die for reasons they have no
control over. I realize the harm caused to so many living things
just to remain in this pathetic, comfortable
lifestyle, and what will i have to show for it?
All i see is the world falling
apart and growing worse every year. it's time to try and make a
change.
-October 9, 2003- I just heard about a woman in
the states who became pregnant while dealing with a severe crack
addiction. Programs for helping this are
difficult to get into in the states, and the addiction resulted
in a still born birth. She was charged with
second degree murder by state, state supreme, and finally
the supreme court of the U.S.. This is more
than just the foolish move of one judge. This results in
huge repercussions of legal precedent. Are
women who drink and smoke during pregnancy going to
be charged with knowingly harming their
unborn children? What about women who have abortions?
This would never happen in Canada, as we
don't *yet* recognize the baby as a person under the law
until it is born. I know in the states right
now John Ashrcroft (a conservative with a messiah complex)
is the attorney general, a man who believes
abortion and homosexuality are sins against god and
should never be treated as civil rights.
You may also know him as the man behind the PATRIOT act,
the biggest move to roll back civil rights
in several decades under the guise of fighting terrorism. This
is the way towards a more oppressive and
hateful world. But hey, with friends like this, who needs
an oppressive islamic government? I haven't
found any online news for more info on this poor woman
and her would be crack addicted baby, but
you can read more about Ashcroft at Rotten.com
-October 8, 2003- Okay, my new song recommendation
is the gin and juice cover by leftover salmon. Somehow the
combination of rap and country creates some sort of super
evil that must some how be evil enough for
me to enjoy. Or, at least get a kick out of.
Then again, i do have that appreciation for novelty... like
that punk cover of the fraggle rock theme.
-October 6, 2003- Once again I use my page as a
no effort mass fwd and instruct you all to go and take this
quiz.
Particularly if you are a fan of
the great and wonderful Jhonen Vasquez. It lets you determine
which character from his vast assortment of
works you'd be. I got jhonen himself, which of course
must mean I AM the great creator. Either that
or i like to mumble about assholes under my breath
all the time.
- It's fire prevention week, so my mother decided to replace
the 15 year old smoke alarms in the house.
I agree with the idea, but in practice the new smoke
detector has been setting itself up, and i think I'd
rather Die in the fire than deal with this.
In order to set up the obnoxious little thing has to beep every
40 to 60 seconds for 7 to 15 minutes and then
finally stop. It's kind of like having hiccups. You think
it's over, then it happens again and is very
jarring to the system. Anyway, it went through it's cycle
and rather than shutting up (like it's supposed
to), it just decided to go off. We shut it off and it's
starting it's cycle again. I hate these newfangled
devices that are supposed to be improvements. yay
"progress." Kay, bitching time is over.
- In my renewed attempt at procrastinating over homework
(in addition to devoting all my time to my
website) i've been enjoying commercials with
the volume off. I think there's something very postmodern
about it. we let the nasty things be the background
noise of our lives, but just watching them without
sound makes you realize that most of the imagery
isn't there to impress (unless it involves half-dressed
women- or naked subliminal women- spooky).
it's all about the jingles and catch phrases and repetitive
sounds. Huxley wrote about this in brave new
world. Repeat the phrase again and again, especially to
an impressionable mind, and it will stick with
them for the rest of their lives. all i can say is, cheeze wiz
adds personality.
-October 2, 2003- juan ... robyn's incredible account of how events went down in
halifax during the storm. Again, another
well written work. good introspection and what not. The fire's
and looting are probably the scariest parts.
-October 1, 2003- So, if you've been paying attention
to the weather channel (as so many of you lifeless losers
have been,
i'm sure) you've probably heard about the hurricane
that covered nova scotia (no literally the storm
covered the whole province into new brunswick O.o) So, i'm
really grateful that my sister, her family,
and their new house are all still good, and none of their roofs
got blown off. But, that's not the case for
all over halifax. check out these pics
to be unoriginal and quote robyn, not
my idea of a good blow job
(oh god that hurts). i'm particularly impressed by the trees
that uproot through pavement. I am *so* glad
i didn't have to suffer through that storm!
-September 30, 2003- okay, robyn finally got me
to cave and link to this site... hot action worthwhile because i
find the
quotes oddly fitting.
For example, a website is like a partner, the longer you've had it
the more
you feel you can ignore it.
Or my most recent favorite: "What is a crush
but the withered corpse of a
lost opportunity. Don't get crushes. Get
action." Crude, sleazy and
overall well written.
- Erg, so if i'm gonna do this, i may
as well do the whole thing, from my brother's recommendations...
ill will press
(in association with the ever wonderful and evil newgrounds),
and all the joy that is
germaine (devi like goth girl)
and foamy, her pet squirrel. The site's too popular for it's
bandwidth,
so if the pages aren't
loading you'll have to try again later. ...hmmm, i guess if i'm
citing newgrounds,
i should also pass along
a recommendation of the twisted, violent, "adult viewing only" joy
of
retarded animal babies
(by Dave).... even if it is a rip off of happy tree friends.
-September 25, 2003- bebo ergo sum...
- According to snopes.com,
the following is not actually accredited to any professor,
but it works
none
the less.

-September 24,
2003- I realize that I'm writing this page for all of those
people i know will never read it. I'm writing to the
people who matter most to me,
but don't understand. Those who i never speak to, and those who
will
never care. I'd say you know who you are, but you don't. And
if by chance you happen to
read
this and think that it's you, you're wrong of course, because
those that it's intended for
will
never read it.... It sounds stupid, fatalistic, self absorbed,
depressed... but then again, that's
where
i am.
-September 17, 2003- Back to school and all, no time to write, too busy reading
plato, but i hope you, my adoring fans,
appreciate my renewed attempts to keep this almost
dead site alive. New pages, new pictures,
just imagine *lol*
-I got my hands on the new sandman issue today.
It is *so* droooooling good! my top
recommended
recent graphic novel release. but then again, my opinion
is biased...
-I find myself reading anne
rice again, after all these years. It isn't as good as it was.
Desire
always fades
-August 19, 2003-
The new Jane's Addiction album is worth it, for those of you who are interested.
Go out and see
Winged Migration (it'll change your outlook
on life) and Ben Afleck did not actually cheat on
Jennifer Lopez. I spread the gospel truth,
all you need is love, give peace a chance, and never stir
fry in the nude.
- Yet again, there
has been another rash of break ups in my circle of friends.
It's like these things
come in cycles <shudder
at thought>. This is of course not helped at all by the fact
that both of
my sister's gave birth in
the same week. I'm scared, I'm sooo scared. I need a new social
surrounding, something to
do I think i may cave and try to revive the goth community in this
city.
I need a cause and toastmasters
isn't enough to occupy my time!
- The more I write
this, the more I realize I don't reeeeally have anything
of value to say. I think i may
just give up all this pop culture hooie, and move to africa to feed
the starving, or some such.
-August 11, 2003- I've been lacking anything to
do, so I figured it was time to fix up the ole web site. Kinda sad
really, the whole
having nothing to do. Well, it's not entirely true. I've been spending
too much
time out drinking,
plus I DO have a job (unfortunately). I dunno. Life always seems
to have its
ups and downs. It's
difficult to take both, but what choice do we have.
