This is why hatchbacks are generally a bad idea. If you currently own one, consider selling it or trading it in before something like this happens:

Fog of St. James

Posted on February 28th, 2011 2 Comments

I took this photo a few days ago when I was still feeling under the weather (two weeks of sick, dear reader — can you believe it?!) With the unseasonable warmth most of the white stuff is gone today, but despite the occasional burst of sun the clouds are still hanging in the air.

To Cheryl,

Posted on February 15th, 2011 2 Comments

Please toss your disused cups of flavoured filth in the trash. Just because your pay through the nose for your “coffee” and your Macintosh says you’re special that doesn’t make it so. At least not in the traditional sense. Oh, and maybe consider making a Facebook profile somewhere other than in your mind before advertising it; just a suggestion.

Thanks.

Protest the protests

Posted on February 8th, 2011 2 Comments

I like a good protest as much as the next guy, and I’m definitely not above showing my support for the demonstrators when I think they have a point to make, but sometimes I have to question what they’re trying to achieve. Or if they bothered to give any thought to what they’re doing.

Nobody puts Swayze in the corner!

Posted on February 4th, 2011 1 Comment

Last time I got to — nay, was encouraged to — watch TV at work was when I was beating up keyboards at CTV. I never took advantage of it then, but then again, I wasn’t at the professional level I’m at now. I don’t see anyone else in their skivvies, brandishing beer, and being thus deeply involved in their employer’s operation, but Corus broadcasts 36 channels over its in-house network and I’ll be damned if I don’t strive to be a model employee this time around!
