Study shards

Ahh, midterms. My favourite time of year. I've but one more to go. It is Auditing.
So, you can tell why I'm procrastinating.

Tomato soup

Well, the results of the Warhol v. Renoir poll are in. I guess Renoir is better. I'd be lying if I said my favourite past-time was comparing artists from different genres.

Be mine

Happy Valentine's Day!

Flee

Well, last night I watched the opening ceremonies of the winter olympics in Vancouver. It was pretty crazy. I think I lack a proper appreciation for interpretive dance. My favourite part was when the Governor General declared the games on and then KD Lang immediately sang Leonard Cohen's Hallelujia. Because the VanOC and IOC guys finished their speeches? Bam.
Also, I'm not sure turning and running is the best thing to do if confronted with a bear.

Grey matter

So I was on a computer at school and someone had taped a little message to the monitor, I suppose as a thought provoking gesture. It seems to have worked because it has made me think about some stuff. But really I think about stuff all the time, but maybe not the stuff they want me to think about with their little message.
Anyways, the message said:

Avoid holding on to ideas just because you are used to them.

At first I was like, “yeah, I guess that makes sense,” being a dude who not so humbly thinks he’s pretty tolerant and open minded, or at least understanding. Then I got thinking about how being like that means I’m never really sure about anything. It’s the truth that the more I learn the less I know, or maybe the less I care. Or it might be the truth. See. Long ago was I tired of people being sure they’re right about anything. I sometimes begin to wonder if they are right merely by the fact that I never believe I’m right. But then I think that, I may not know anything for sure, but I might be able to tell what’s worthwhile, and roll with that.

Nerdtronic

Yeah, I'm pretty great.

Milk it

So I read about this in the star. Some of the comments are worth reading.

Forget it

Today I locked my keys in my room, and couldn't get back in until my roommate came home. So I did the following things. I Had lunch, played video games, did the dishes, watched Seinfeld, went for a bike ride (I fell twice, it was fun), and watched an episode of the office. Then my roommate came home.

Silver Fury

So normally when i'm driving my Hyundai Accent, I like to go fast. Well, maybe only as fast as I can go without creating too many legal issues. Really the car isn't all that fast to begin with so that alone limits those legal issues. It used to be that I would gladly pass anyone that was, incomprehensibly I might add, not blatantly ignoring the speed limit. But, ever since gas went up to $1.45/L back in '008, I have a better appreciation for the speed limit. It is amazing how fuel-efficient my car is at 80km/hr. I must admit, I still like to go fast, but now when I come up behind some misguided driver concerned with safety or functionality over fun and thrill-seeking, I just follow them. I mean I have patience. I think it might even be a virtue,.. but actually I'm just cheap.

Extreme weather bike

So today when I biked to school there was some wicked white out and blizzard action. There was even accumulation on me. Accumulated in the time it takes me to get to school. Needless to say I was damp for the rest of the day. That's ok though, because it helped smooth out the wrinkles in my pants that I had failed to iron.

Dreadmill

Well, I've been frequenting the gym quite a lot since Christmas. The Peterborough Y half-marathon is coming up pretty soon and I was in pretty bad shape after three weeks of doing nothing but stuffing my face. Amazingly I even gained some weight over those holidays, but since going to school I've already lost it again. Oh well. I guess if I ever want to realize my dream of being more weighty I'm going to have to put my laziness into high gear. Well, not all dreams come true.

Graphic festivity

Well the results of the favourite Christmas special poll are in. Well.. They've been in for a while. The results are surprising. A three way tie. But really they're all so classic it's tough to put one above the others. So I won't.

Young and lovely

A study in feasibility

How does Rob bend his wrists like that? It's part of his jutsu.

Trump

It's in the nose

So today on my way to and fro school, I saw two separate incidents of people picking their nose in their car. Hilarious.

Bat punch bowl

Well, the results of the Bat punch poll are up. 'Kapow!' has won. Take that (insert villain here)!! I know it was hard to pick, as really this is only a very select few. Check out some excellent screen captures.

Warm action

So today I got a new toy. And it was free. It's an ancient snow blower. I know it's bad for the environment but I like burning gas. I also have a feeling I'm going to have a lot of fun fixing this one. It looks almost exactly like the one above except rustier. I'm just not sure if it's ever going to snow this year. It was over 10 degrees today and this warm action shows no sign of stopping. Now I have even more reason for wanting it to snow. That is besides the usual reason of fall sucking.

ghost face road killah

I remember.. way way back in the 90s, I was in a mall in Pittsburgh when I bought a CD by a band called the Good Rats. Some of the music was ok, but it was very angry. I think I bought it because the CD was $1.99 or something.

Hand signs

Thanks everyone, here's some fanart for your enjoyment.

Lucky solid

Sorry, I'm not good enough at HTML to make this a video.

Not everyone likes surprises. Really?!! I guess I don't.. but what really got me thinking about this commercial was dumb luck. Is this guy lucky? Sort of? I mean sure his fiancee is making out with his Dad, but at least it was before he got married. Then again, I guess it's not so hard to get a divorce anymore.
Man I want a classic Mr. Sub sandwich right now.

No. Where man?

The results of the favourite Beatle poll are in. Though there was a tie for the lead, I'm astounded that John Lennon only got 0%. I was sure he was more popular than that.

Annuity Duel

Corporate Finance.. Corporate... Finance....

Tuesday fury

Well today was Tuesday, when I always have a ridiculous number of hours of classes and a couple of hours of tutoring thrown in for good measure. There's a lot of sick people at school. Flu season I guess. I hope I don't get anything. I don't know why people just don't put on a toque.

At the speed of late

Well, today I had class at 8am. I biked to school and was arriving in good time. It was cold but an exceptionally fast ride, the ground being dry and the street lights cooperating. The sunrise was also pretty nice. Personally I think sunrises are much more beautiful than sunsets, but they're so friggin hard to get up for. Something about crispiness.
Anyways. Pop quiz hotshot, you get to school and realized you left your bike lock at home. This happens occasionally. So I shot the hostage.
