Things I didn’t know: She’s a year older than me?
I practically grew up watching ‘Full House’. Well, okay, so I can’t think of anyone my age who didn’t. But even so, I had no idea Jodie Sweetin was pretty much my age. And… already, she’s been married twice, adicted to meth, and… um, God only knows what else. That’s … Read the rest

Somebody skipped out on Common Sense 101.
After an Applebee’s restaurant accidentally served a 2-year-old a margarita, all the management pretty much said about it was “We’re sure it was accidental.”. Of course, serving the two in identical containers, you’d think they’d have, you know, expected the mistake to be made eventually. To this, though… I just … Read the rest

So um… where’s the problem?
Aboriginal bands have taken up arms against the almighty coffee chain for an admitedly stupid prank/joke thing pulled by one of its staff in an Alberta restaurant. Namely, taping a sign to the drive through window that said “No drunken indians allowed.”. Now, being part indian, and a *huge* fan … Read the rest

Hang on a minute. People… actually do that?
I’ve heard a hell of a lot of stupid crap lately, but… um, this takes the freaking cake. I’m sorry, but… a water pipe? A freaking water pipe? I understand it’s an African idea/tradition/whatever, but… a water pipe? Really, that’s gotta come close to people who find new ways to … Read the rest

Hello, legal quicksand.
And people wonder why I have an interest in law. Tech Crunch, who I read more for the snark than the news about startup businesses/websites, is getting slapped with a DMCA takedown notice for an article it posted yesterday about the CEO of rivals.com, a sports website. Specificly, the common … Read the rest

Getting things done on my own schedule could be a bad thing.
I tend to take my time doing it. Example: it’s quarter after 11 and I’m blogging. Meanwhile, there be dishes in the sink, vacuuming that needs doing, and eventually, garbage that needs to be going out. Could be an all day event at this rate. But at least I can … Read the rest

Hey look, an update!
There’s a whole hell of a lot to update yall on, and I have no idea when my next call’s coming in, so let’s see how much I can cram into a small piece of downtime. ***************** I never noticed teenagers were quite that whiny when I was one. And, … Read the rest

I feel so devalued right now.
Apparently, by 2010 I could be making about as much as that moron at Tim Horton’s who, after taking your coffee order for the fifth time, still gives you the wrong one–I live in Ottawa. There are a *lot* of those. That’s the plan, anyway, according to our oh so … Read the rest
