The One Week Digital Cleanse

Mention to anyone with computer savvy that your laptop has somehow gotten slower over recent months and they’ll ask you the same thing: “have you defragmented your hard drive?” Defragmenting works by taking small slivers of information stored in various locations and consolidating them so that they’re in the same place on the drive and thus easier to access in larger chunks.

I watched some Eddie Izzard stand-up on YouTube, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Then the ‘Similar Videos’ list showed a Larry the Cable Guy bit. I figured I might as well try.
I am stupider having watched that. I think the only thing sadder than his delivery and choice of material is the rousing response from his audience. It was just a couple minutes of disappointment for me.
NOW...

We ARE amused. Certainly.
Your addition made this much much better.

Stephen Harper, There's a Cliff You Should Jump...
So… Harper doesn’t want to deal with being Prime Minister so he’s going to plug his ears until the mean questions go away.
I am embarrassed to consider myself Canadian, when our leader pulls shit like this. Harper, the opposition will be asking you questions that you will find difficult to answer. Notwithstanding the fact that the Afghan detainee issue is ominous on its own,...
As time transcends, you sit alone in your room. You ask yourself… “Exactly why...

Language, Ain't You Funny
We say:
Hugs and kisses! Hugs and kisses!
We symbolize:
XOXO
X means ‘kisses’ and O means’ hugs’. This we know. So it switches around for an inexplicable reason.
Which method of straightening this out would you prefer: OXOX, or ‘kisses and hugs!’
?

I Am Getting Sick
And I damn well know it. Drinking rather heavily the other night at the birthday party for my sister and I did not help, I am sure. But there’s also shit going around in my family, so I’m not all that surprised I caught on. I am a follower of trends, after all.
Anyway, I’m afraid that I’ll be too sick tomorrow to go see my grandpa with the family. That’s if my...

Days Go By
So, as of today, I have lived 8035 days. It’s worth mentioning that tomorrow will be 8036 - wait, no. It’s more significant that tomorrow is my 22nd birthday. That’s more of a quantifiable, definite milestone. The question, of course, is why the day count isn’t as important or impressive. Think about it. I have (had the potential to have) seen 8035 sunrises, and 8034...

Did anyone watch the World Juniors yesterday? And if so, did anyone else find it sort of ridiculous, the goal differentials? When Canada beats Latvia 16-0 in a hockey game, it’s less about how good Canada’s team is (although we’re the fuckin’ best) and more about how unprepared Latvia is for hockey on that level of competition.
Something about the tournament needs to be...
Vinyl Aspirations
I guess my post didn’t post. It just went out into the Tumblr nether and was never seen again. Which is AWESOME.
Anyway, the gist of what I’ve written once and don’t feel like doing again is that I’m starting a record collection (vinyl records, that is) and would like some input on albums and singles that I should pick up. More specifically, I’d like music that...

A couple of days ago I was pointed to a video on TMZ.com that featured “Avatar” director James Cameron involved in a verbal scuffle with who the gossip website would have you believe was a “fan.” The question is implicit in the video and write-up: “Why would a wealthy Hollywood director be so rude as not to sign an autograph for someone going out of his way to meet his hero?” Having...

New LP soon? Sounds like a good plan, guys. You had us scared with the whole “we’re not going to record in album form anymore” thing.
