Looks like fun!

If you don't like watching people have throwing stars thrown at them, I recommend not going past 2:45...

You, Me and E.T.

Super Mario Brothers is Frustrating

I'm not entirely sure of the background here, but it looks like this guy is playing a modified version of Super Mario Bros. Each video is 12 mins long, but I guarantee you won't get bored :)

Bad Weather

So how's the weather back home? I hear it's not so good. I can empathize with that... It's 8:30AM and it's already 18C...a high of 31C today (feels like 35 with the humidex). I can't stand this extremely warm sunny weather.

A Lesson from Dr. Quantum!

Learn all about the infamous two-slit experiment, demonstrating wave-particle duality!

IGNITE!

I wish they would... This weekend, Carleton is host to the All Ontario Youth Convention - i.e. Bible Camp. There are a lot of hooligans running around campus and filling up the cafeteria at lunch time. The theme for this year's conference is "Ignite!". Perhaps they hope to ignite the flame of God inside of each of them...Perhaps they are a group of pyromaniacs offering sacrifices to God. There really is no way to tell.

Here's a link to their conference rules. Rule 11 is interesting:

11. I will not bring to convention a skateboard or any form of firework, sparkler, or combustible fuel

Not only is it kind of prejudice, implying that skaters would bring these things, but it also goes against my theory of pyromaniacs. Recovering pyros perhaps?

EDIT: Check out their promo video. Made me cringe a little.

The Future is Now

I think the blades are just there for show.



I know the real reason they aren't moving in the video, do you?

Sweet Merciful Crap!

Fund the stem cell research! Who cares about particle physics, put it all into stem cell research!!!!

There is hope!

My Place

Here are my living quarters for the summer. It's a pretty nice place.

A nice big bed, not the most comfy though

The kitchen. I don't have much to do in here since I didn't bring any cooking supplies. Really wish I had brought my coffee perk...

The view from my room. It's better than an alley or something...

Brooke Marks The Spot

I came across Brooke Marks while not surfing for porn. Her blog videos are pretty entertaining.

Return to Literacy

Since I'm finding myself to be uber-bored, I went out and bought a few books to pass the time:

Angels and Demons, Dan Brown
The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins
A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking

I'm not sure which one I'm going to start with but hopefully they last about 90 days :)

Edit: Whoops, accidentally downloaded seasons one and two of The Office. Now I have to watch those instead :(

Edit #2: Whoops, now I have season three as well. Whatcha gonna do.

Great Minds...

Guess which other University also has a few sheets of scrap metal welded together in the name of (sh)art? I guess to be fair to the UofR, we should give them props for going with the "random pile of sheet metal," rather than the "rusty penis."

Note: This is what a rusty penis looks like when photographed with my new camera!

Sweet Revenge

Warning, the language is NSFW

Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

Need Coffee...

There seems to be a 12 year old girl convention here today. While this might be one of Kris Ross' wet dreams (the other involves me and some whipped cream), it was incredibly annoying to me. I had to ride down in the elevator with them and look at their whore-like makeup jobs.

I'm in a bad mood. Can you tell that the cafeteria doesn't serve coffee at breakfast?

What's Wrong With This Pic?

10 points to whoever can tell me what is wrong with this pic:

Ode to Ottawa

Lovely Ottawa
Oh so muggy and smoggy
Just how I left you.

The eagle has landed!

Or, since I'm Canadian, should I say "The beaver has set up dam!"? Anyhow...

It was a long and uneventful drive. I'm still disappointed that I didn't see any moose. In fact, I don't even think I saw any roadkill. Something fishy about that...

After 2800kms of bagels, burgers and subs I decided to treat myself to a nice supper tonight. First thing after I checked into residence I headed over to Walmart, invested in a 12 pack of the most comfy-looking toilet paper they had and (after placing the tp in my car) walked over to the Outback Steakhouse for a 12oz slab of prime rib. Supper at restaurants is a lot more interesting when you're out by yourself. It's also more embarrassing, but that's neither here nor there. The couple at the table beside me was clearly on a first date. The man, in his thirties, was trying ever so hard to seem interested in the twenty-something's work stories. He almost had me convinced. The highlight of the night was when the overweight asian man had to ask to be moved because he didn't fit between the booth and the table. Also, the cute waitress kept touching my shoulder when she asked me how stuff was going. I gave her a good tip - Just the tip.

A "miner" problem

Wow, pat on the back for that title. I stayed in Thunder Bay last night. Since it was still another 1500 kms to Ottawa, I figured I'd spend the night in Sudbury and drive another 500 kms the next day. What I didn't count on was a mining convention, filling up all of the hotels in Sudbury. Luckily, I managed to find a last minute cancellation at the Days Inn. This guy is spending the night on the Executive Floor...I have to decide which of these two giant beds to sleep in now...maybe I'll flip a coin.

Note: I chose the one closest to the TV.

Night Danger!

This sign always strikes fear into my heart. Something about the way the moose is charging at me. Why not change the sign to something more like this?:


Equally as informative with half the terror.

This is now my third time driving across Ontario and I'm still yet to see a moose. And believe me, I've tried. For all the terrifying signs that they've posted on the highway, you'd expect the meese...the mooses...whatever, you'd expect them to be jumping out of the trees at you, rapid fire style. So far, my only evidence for the existence of the moose is local folklore...stories passed down through the generations about the "furry tank of the forest". This sounds about as credible as another mythical creature:
