Hmmm...

Probably the neatest magic act I've seen in a while.

The Genius Test

They call it the genius test, I call it passing the time. I'm currently at 23/40. People typically destroy me when I post challenges on here, but that's fine. At least I'm inspiring :)

Try not to cheat, you cheaters.

Natural Death?

While I was out driving this afternoon, I ended up behind a van with an interesting license plate holder. "Life is Precious from Conception to Natural Death. Choose Life!" As we are driving down Bronson Avenue, the red light warning lights start flashing, so we know the lights up ahead are about to turn. Just as expected, they turn red. This didn't deter our pro-life friend though. She went right through, well after it had turned red. Does getting smoked off in an intersection fall under "natural death"? And if not, does her life continue to be precious until she is reincarnated and proceeds to die naturally? And what of the people in the other car? I guess I'm struggling with the definition of natural death and its relevance to your life being precious. What if Mother Teresa had been murdered?

This isn't meant as a slag towards religion (she also had a Jesus fish...) as much as it is a slag against stupid people, in this case, people who drive through red lights during high traffic times. More often than not though, the people driving around with giant "Yay Jesus!" bumper stickers tend to fall into both the religious AND stupid person category. What can you expect though from somebody who was created out of a pile of mud...

On a much more awesome note, I'm home from tomorrow until the 20th. Drink me in friends, drink me in.

You and the Candles

This is why I keep going back to Hawksley's shows.

Regina Spektor

I came across Regina Spektor recently. She has a unique sounding voice with a unique style. Take a look at her video for "Fidelity" below.

It's Coming...

Ottawa - Playoff Victory Edition

Friday I went to see "Knocked Up", the new Seth Rogen movie. It's pretty funny from start to finish, so I recommend it to all of you.

Saturday night I hit the town with my roommate, Matthew, who is from Britain. We went down to the Byward Market to watch the game and then joined in on the festivities after the victory. Being in a bar in Ottawa during a Sens playoff game is a lot different from being in a bar in Edmonton during an Oilers playoff game. In Edmonton, after a goal everybody stands up and yells "GOAL!!!", and then somebody gets stabbed. After the Sens 4th goal, I yelled "GOAL!" and stood up. Wait for it...Wait for it... *clap clap* from some obscure corner of the room. Wow. I suppose that's why they don't have a football team here anymore

Both being slightly intoxicated, we decided to walk home. We got a little bit lost but eventually found the Rideau Canal which goes right past Carleton. An hour and a half later, my legs hurt like a bitch.

Anybody ever heard of highballs being referred to as bar rails before? When I asked the bartender what the hell a bar rail was, she just looked at me funny. I suppose the look could have been entirely unrelated to the question...
