The flu decided to come back and hit me hard again today, and I have to get to bed real soon. So there won’t be any funny postiness tonight.
I just thought like saying that. That’s German for “Attention!”. And “Rauchen verboten” means “Smoking forbidden”. So, like, if you’re German, don’t fucking smoke when you read this blog. I don’t care. Smoke em if you got em. But no pie. Remember that episode of The Flintstones where Fred dressed up like a king and […]
So I just read my new comic… for the first time actually just reading it for fun, and not proofreading and looking for things to fix and things I need to change… and HOLY CRAP do I ever like it! Wow, it’s like someone drew exactly what I wanted to see! So goes the statement […]
Up here in Canada, taxes are due on April 30. I have never had to pay a significant amount, because my paycheques usually have slightly more than needed deducted from them. Last year I got about $70 back, which is about what I usually get. This year I will be filing them late. I can […]
Last year I worked my self literally to exhaustion. I had to take a medical leave of absence from work and I had to get my heart checked out. Luckily, it was just exhaustion and I’m a pretty healthy feller. In any case, I got rewarded for all the very hard work I do, and […]
So I have the fucking flu. It’s ruined my day, and might possibly screw up my plans for my long weekend. I booked Monday off so I could get some personal stuff done, but so far I haven’t even done a proper vegetation day. Usually on Saturday I do laundry, play video games and drink […]
I guess it’s Earth Day today. Or was that yesterday? Meh. This whole week is merging into one long mess of too much work. And I even had a day off on Monday. Bleh. I love how the environmental message in the corporate media is “You can make a difference” when the biggest polluters and […]
Grate, just grate. Nay – crate. Here’s a poem that will probably not make sense to anyone but me. As fast as I can fill them up The hill takes on a steep incline And when at last I see the top Down rolls this boulder fiend of mine And years ago did I reverse […]
I’ve had this song in my head all day. And not because it’s 4/20 today, appropriate as that is. You may not know this, but Bob Marley was known to partake of the marijuana cigarettes now and again. Yes, it’s true. And here in 2010 I am displeased to report that consumption and sale of […]
I tend not to watch T.V. And thus, I tend not to watch Saturday Night Live. But I found this on Reddit this morning and it’s fucking hilarious. Now, I’m no fan of Insane Clown Posse. I am not a Juggalo. I don’t know any Juggalos, and I’m not so sure we even have them […]
Alright then, lets get some things out of the way first. Yes, this song makes me think about female androids. She’s electric, ya know. Now that we’ve settled that, there’s another issue that demands our attention. You may find this hard to believe but… Oasis are NOT The Beatles. I think this fact may only […]
Okay… FUCK Lemmy. He’s a fucking bitch-ass POSER! YEAH! Now this is what Rock N’ Roll is all about. Shatner is the man. And he took us all back to school to learn how to rock good with his 1968 album “The Transformed Man”. It is an odyssey on all that is Rock Awesomeness. It’s […]
“Hello Bitches!” Every song should start with those words! FUCK YEAH!!! And what a MEAN song today’s Song of the Day is. Who among us has honestly never thought of inflicting revenge upon someone? Okay, maybe just the androids. I hope there are androids out there… female androids who want to find me so they […]
Okay, this song isn’t one of my favorites. I do kind of like it… from a distance. I think I like the theme more than the music… if I twist that theme around a tad in my own way. More on that later. Heh heh… Moron. This is today’s “Song of the Day” because I’m […]
Grumble. Look at me complain! I do it well, so I will continue. I chose the job I have, and I can leave it whenever I want, I suppose. But I’ll still complain that there’s too much to do that I wouldn’t have to do if the people around me weren’t brain-dead. Okay, that’s an […]
How awesome is my hosting company? FUCKING EPIC AWESOME!!!! I went to the support page, described my problem and in UNDER TEN MINUTES they had it fixed. Sweeeeet. Okay, on with the funny story. My mother has a paper route. It is actually the same paper route that I had when I was a kid. […]
Well, I had a funny story to tell that required uploading a pic. I can’t upload pics, it seems. Hmmmm… off to contact Support I go.
Everybody celebrate! Why spend ALL that time using your turn signal when you can just skip it! Sometimes I think everyone around me is drinking bleach to get stupider on purpose. Actually, that’s almost an accurate statement. I’m cranky, tired and sore, so I’m going to get horizontal and attempt to lose consciousness. Wish me […]
Well, I did lots of stuff yesterday, so today was declared to be Vegetation Day. I accomplished not much more than sitting on my ass playing video games and reading. To be specific, I played another long round of Civilization 2 while I had my text-to-speech program read articles on Wikipedia about geological epochs. You […]
Well, I finally got around to checking out my new laserjet printer today. And I didn’t know this… but “LaserJet” is a trademark owned by Hewlett Packard. Meh. Well xerox my kleenex! So far I’ve printed only a test page from Ubuntu and a test page from Windows XP, but they look good. Now, if […]
Link to the song, before I forget to actually talk about it again. You can always count on Mayhem to get the party jumping! Yeah! Like KC and the Sunshine Band before them, they specialize in filling dance floors with disco dancers! Yeah! Actually, they’re slightly darker and edgier than KC and his Krew. Yeah. […]
Let’s try to write a Song of the Day post and forget that my head feels like it’s going to burst open! Yay! Today the weather changed drastically here. It went from early Spring pleasant to fucking South Pole blizzard in about an hour. And my head feels bad. :( But never mind that. Here […]
Yes, my slop is being nuked in the microwave as we speak! IT was either that or Wendy’s. Not healthy, but flavourful. I’m getting plenty of “exercise” at work lately. So I guess I can claim that I’m burning off the fat pretty fast. So on to things that aren’t high-sodium, high-fat, low-nutrient meals. Well […]
Well, it made ME feel better. Who agreed this 5 day on, 2 day off thing? Should be 4 days on, 3 days off. And no increase in hours during the week. There. I’ve spoken. And now, random paragraphs from random articles on Wikipedia. YAY! Since the Middle Ages, the seat of the Archbishop of […]
As I have bitched about below, I had a printer die on me recently. The new one is on the way, but since I had to shell out a good $400 for it, my credit card was put damn near its limit. My ISP wasn’t able to bill the card, so I had to write […]
I care not for Christmas, nor Easter. Ha!
Well, out of boredom and a need to express my geekdom in as many ways as I can, I’ve installed “Lubuntu” on my netbook. Lubuntu, for those not in the know, is the variant of Ubuntu that uses LXDE as its desktop environment. I use LXDE over Ubuntu or Xubuntu on most of my computers. […]
While I was enjoying my day off today, I decided to kill some of my precious time on YouTube. I was checking out some Pet Shop Boys videos (I SWEAR I AM NOT GAY!!!) and I happened upon something I immediately liked. Now before I continue blabbering, I’ll just state that this instant fondness is […]
So, my opinion of Ed Bott is that he’s a shill and an Áœber Fanboy for Microsoft. Still, this is fucking hilarious. And it has me thinking of Windows 3.1. A while ago I watched this video of someone running Windows 3.1 on a Nokia phone. Pretty neat trick. I have a very old monochrome […]
Well, bluddy ell. I heard on the weather today that the atmosphere above Calgary was unstable. No shit. When I got out of work, it was freezing. When I rode the train through to downtown, it was a fucking blizzard. When I got downtown there was no freezing rain but it was about as windy […]
Well, I’m too fucking pissed off to write a blog post tonight. My fucking HP printer just died… actually it had been a slow death because since I got the fucking thing it would repeatedly tell me it was out of fucking paper when it wasn’t. Now it won’t fucking print at all. I threw […]
This song came up in conversation while I was getting a ride home from my friend Uncle Furry. I asked him if he had ever heard of Kow Kow Calqulator, to which he responded “no”. That, I’m guessing, is what most people would have said. But onward I pressed. “Did you know,” I said, “That […]
I can’t take credit for this pic. It’s from a very good article over on ZDNet. The gist of it is this: Fuck Apple.
Here it finally is. I had to get over the 7MB upload file limit for this blog. That’s why it’s in 15 files. So if you have a mobile device, such as the iPod Touch (Fuck Apple, btw), or an Android phone, or even a Pocket PC, go ahead and download these to look at […]
First version Album version This is a song about Ronald Reagan… mostly. For those of you not old enough to know who Ronald Reagan was, he was a B-Movie actor. He was also a douchebag supreme. Also, a real prick. But he was physically strong. Anyway, Dead Kennedys […]
Well, I made a “Mobile Version” of The Robots of Love. It’s basically one panel per image… and it comes out to 157 images instead of 26. I wasn’t able to upload it all in one zip file however. And seeing as how I can barely keep my eyes open, I will have to work […]
The day was salty like the sea Not really but I’ll tell this tale Of what the state is now of me As I sit headachy and pale My life is boring most the time And only on occasion rare Do I do something that might rhyme With interests foul or interests fair For instance […]
Well, nothing of substance to say tonight. You see, I’ve just spent more of my hard-earned money on phone sex with a lovely lady through the NiteFlirt website. Giggity. I do want to mention something I forgot to complain about in my Ubuntu post just below. Who the fuck put the window control buttons on […]
Okay, I can’t find this song on YouTube, so as a consolation, the less quirky but catchier “Hypnotizin’ Boogie“. I bet most people have never heard of David Wilcox. There’s an American folk singer named David Wilcox, but he’s his own man. I’m talking here about the wacky, off-beat, talented Canadian blues-rock guitarist. He is […]
I saw some recent screenshots of the latest version of GNOME, which apparently is in contention for being an early version of GNOME 3.0. I hate it. I see a very nasty trend in GUI design lately. That trend is all about eye candy. Eye candy and the need to cater to stupid people who […]
Digital Restrictions Management. What a fucking sick joke this is. I just read about another DRM system that has gone down in flames. This time, like so many times before and many more times to come, the paying customers who were dumb enough to be sold defective goods are being shafted. So, you paid for […]
YouTube link, before I forget to mention it again. First, a joke! Hooray! Q: How do you castrate a Catholic priest? A: Ë™ÊÉɾ Çɥʇ uı ÊŽoqɹıoɥɔ Çɥʇ ʞɔıʞ Ha! If hell existed, there would be a special place in it for Christian pedophiles. But thinking and talking about this makes me extremely angry, so I […]
Demo version, that is. I reckon. You can’t talk about things from “The South” without saying “I reckon” every now and then. I reckon. I only know the demo version of this song. The YouTube search results tell me that there is a version of this song on “Street Survivors”. Determining the veracity of that […]
I’m sure many of you out there have noticed that motherfucking godawful bloody Daylight Saving time has cursed us all with its presence one more time. Except for folks in Saskatchewan. Why did they realize that DST is a useless fucking turd and not the rest of us? Anyhoo, you’ve probably guessed by now that […]
Wow. I’m really surprised that this song is on YouTube. You would think that the avaricious and corpulent scumbag lawyers would shake their greasy and cash-stuffed fists at anyone who dared upload a cultural gem like this song to a publicly viewed website. Fuck I hate lawyers. Copyright lawyers are bad people. Anyway… happy thoughts… […]
Thats all I have to say. I had a nice long weekend, but because of a weather headache, I didn’t get around to all the nice little projects I’ve been putting off for so long. Next time. I’m still loving the upgraded version of Firefox. And I’m tired so I will go to bed. I […]
That’s me! Look how happy I am! And look how shiny my coat is! Seriously, I’m no longer thinking about ditching the Linux version of Firefox. Since I did my little experiment with installing and using the daily builds, I’m enjoying the quickness and light weight of the browser. I just uploaded some pics and […]
This is actually exciting news on Linux. As much as I love Linux, there’s one thing I can not stand about it. The way that software gets installed is a fucking mess. I’ve learned the hard way that unless you are a Linux programmer, you shouldn’t try to install anything outside of what your distro […]
Wow! 311 is today’s date! No, it’s not actually. I was thinking of posting about a 311 song yesterday. So I missed by one day. Here’s a video for the song, which I’ve never seen until just now. 311 is one of those bands that you almost hate to admit to liking. Their lyrics are […]
