Today, I’m sitting at home, writing a report to the government about what, exactly, did I do with all the money they gave me.
Shit.
In the meantime, take a look at this.
It’s a video of my good friend Dave boasting, “I’m Beijing 2008, man!”. Right before taking a goddamn kayak down a snowy hill in his backyard in Ottawa.
What can I say? That’s how the motherfucker rolls.
Taken from our friends at bash.org.
So I’m at Walmart and this chick is buying a box of tampons and they’re missing the UPC and won’t ring up. So the cashier tells his buddy to get a price check on tampax.
The dude looks at him and says, “The kind you push in, or the kind you hammer in?”
Turns out he misheard him. Thought he said thumbtacks. You should have seen the look on the chick’s face.
Sometimes I feel guilty about not posting. Well. A lot of times, actually.
Then I take a tour of the blogosphere, and I notice nobody else has updated their shit, either.
So I feel a little bit less guilty.
That explains why nothing — absolutely nothing — gets done around here.
Hot Coffee Girl has a hilariously cute story going on right now about her 5-year old self’s harrowing entanglement with a bloodthirsty, yellow jacket bee.

<p>No time to write a real post. But in the meantime, my 2 minute thoughts.</p>
<p>There’s been a bit of gushing going on <a href="http://rhysently.blogspot.com/2007/04/for-randi-and-generally-randy.html" target="_blank">here</a> (and elsewhere) in regards to John Cusack.</p>
<p>But I’m not sure what the big deal is.</p>
<p>Okay, let’s get it out of the way. <i>Of course</i>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Say_Anything_%28film%29" target="_blank">Say Anything</a> was an absolutely fantastic movie, certainly one of of the most memorable teen romances ever offered on celluloid and one of my favourite movies to boot.</p>
<p>And I’ll leave you to guess how old I was when the movie was released.</p>
<p>But otherwise? John Cusack has (1) Not offered anything nearly as memorable as his 1989 hit, and (2) Has either a hate-or-love approach to acting.</p>
<p>For example, I found him to be practically annoying and puppy-like in the forgettable romance <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity_%28film%29" target="_blank">Serendipity</a>, but generally likeable in the courtroom thriller <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_Jury" target="_blank">Runaway Jury</a>. Yes, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_John_Malkovich" target="_blank">Being John Malkovich</a> was a superb movie, but there, he was mostly overshadowed by his co-stars John Malkovich and Cameron Diaz. His mannerisms — usually the lovestruck, perpetually bemused underdog — can get overwhelming at times, and like David Caruso’s head tilt, some people will find it absolutely maddening. </p>
<p>So what’s the big deal?</p>
<p>Going as far back as my earliest Cusack venture (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Off_Dead_%28film%29" target="_blank">Better Off Dead</a> in 85′), he hasn’t really outputted anything nearly as memorable as his 1989 hit.</p>
<p>How can one movie win the hearts of so many women?</p>
