Thrilled

Carolyn found this and made my weekend:


Who says prison, or the Phillipines, can't be fun?

(Apparently I'm over a year behind on this viral...too bad)

Woof

Oh yea, we also adopted a dog.

Steve and his wife adopted one also.

They got along great for about 15 minutes when they met the other night. Lots of sniffing and marking, but not even a hint of a growl. Then, food was introduced to the mix, and that changed everything. A bloody paw on Sasha was the only visible wound from the melee that ensued; impressive given the noise the two of them made. Our dog, Tyson, has been listening to commands better since that all went down though.

Last night was a pretty mellow night of a few beers and busting open some board games with Carolyn. Overall its been an unusually low key long weekend.

I Learned My Moves From Street Fighter

This is hilarious. Couple gets married in tropics. Couple redoes ceremony infront of family and friends back home. Couple gets drunk, has argument in hotel. Groom karate kicks bride. Couple goes to jail.

Maybe marriage doesn't sound so bad after all...

Earth Hour

Not much really needs to be said here.



Sure there is some license taken for the sake of comedy, but for the most part, he's absolutely right.

A 10% reduction in a couple dozen cities for one hour once a year isn't going to change a thing.

Digital World

A digital world makes it much easier to carry out experiments with appreciable accuracy and precision. Take this educational, scientific gem for example. That kind of proof simply can't be reproduced on the old spring-scale analog equipment.

I'm starting a job helping with research projects back at the university next week for at least the fall, but none of the work will yield such informative results as the above experiment.

The Best Part About Being 'Tragically Uninteresting'

The best part about being "tragically uninteresting" is that I happen to catch incoming links from sites like this one in my site stats. It seems that someone's taken the time out of their much more interesting lives to make a blog with what appears to be the sole purpose of trashing other UW blogs he comes across.

What's startling is that one would take the time to read through a blog they describe as boring and dribble, and even follow outlinks to its last.FM account to look at my musical preferences. What's more amazing; that they do this for a number of blogs, actually spend money on an internet domain name like 'uwspectator' to give some sense of credibility or self-importance (and yet not posting even a first name or pen name anywhere on the site), and then further take time out of their exciting lives to write summaries for each of them (mine's here)! You really have to commend the man for his efforts, after all, the only thing better than a boring blog, is a boring summary of a boring blog.

Putting aside the far too simple gay jokes though, and the apparent dislike for people who are critical of the current government's policies, instead of simply allowing things to be foisted upon them, regarding this as Conservative hatred, I have to honestly give it credit for its humourous approach.

One has to wonder though, why someone who hates Waterloo so much would choose to go there, or not move elsewhere, and instead wallow in their bitterness, and lurk around a whole bunch more websites from people at Waterloo with so many other better, and admittedly far more interesting and well written sites out there.
