This guy reminds me of a roadie that Carol, our friend Glenn and I saw at the Iron Maiden concert a few years ago. The particular little person I am thinking of was playing air guitar next to the stage during Number of the Beast.

Carol's got a brand new blog. Check out: CarolBrowne.com

My jaw feels like it's about to explode. I'm sweating and my ears are ringing. Ah, the joyous wonders of impacted wisdom teeth. It hurts like hell. It's hard to concentrate and I generally feel like shite. I've called the dentist and have a referral to a dental surgeon to extract these things. The only problem is that their office isn't open on Mondays. So I must suffer for at the very least another day, but I fear it will be longer. Perhaps I should have listened to my dentist when he said a year ago that I should have them removed. I know... I know... Here I am again feeling the consequences of a silly decision. This one? Let's avoid some short term pain for long term gain. Bitten in the ass? You bet. Owee!
What are impacted wisdom teeth?

Animal-Human Hybrids Spark Controversy ... one word: Yikes

According to this article sent by Matt, masturbating at home in front of a window has been ok'd by the courts here in BC. In away good and in other ways bad... Shades of David Carradine pressed nude against the plate glass window of his Laurel Canyon home. A friend who was his neighbour related this story to me. He also, apparently, dropped acid and went a kung-fu'ing through his neighbours' backyards.

Check out Mark Mathis, weatherman, going bonkers (7.43 mb wmv). Holy smackeroonies. This guy's worse than me on a case Red Bull and a pot of coffee. What a whackjob. I love it. Letterman got his start as a weatherman. This guy's going places. Most likely to the loonie bin.

Here are some pictures of Bridgewater after the recent snow storms there as sent by Big Al Mac. The one at the bottom is the high school I went to. We used to pray for snow days but, even with the amount of snow the province gets we rarely were so lucky. I'm sure 110cms shut it down for at least a day.

Thanks again Cat Lady.

There are some great songs on some of these blogs. Not a lot by bands you've hear of. If you're looking for top 40 crapola these blogs don't have it. But if you're looking for creative and interesting new music experiences chances are you might find some.

Paris Hilton allegedly steals own sex video Can you say crazy? I knew you could. Paris will eventually completely lose her mind (and probably her teeth) if she doesn't clean up her act.

'Pump' Judge Gets Popped - January 21, 2005
Some things I'd really rather not know. This is one of those times. I do, however, feel strangely compelled to share this story with the rest of you. Perhaps only to have some comfort in the knowledge that others are sharing this horror with me. I can think only one thing; Eeeeeew!

Graham pointed out the awesome sunset taking place just outside our office so I snapped the above photo. Here's a 1024x768 version for your desktop wallpaper. It's the Burrard Street bridge at 4:30pm on a drizzly Thursday.

Thanks Carol.

It's Bill Gates striking a pose for Teen Beat in 1983. Who said nerds aren't sexy? Everyone. That's who. Gross... I think I threw up in my mouth just a little.

Check out listen to a movie! You can listen to the audio track of a ton of flicks and TV shows while you're working. You have to register but it's worth it. We're listening to Office Space right now. "I believe you have my stapler." Thanks to Dex for the link.

Micro Persuasion: Report:
Google to Put Kibosh on Blog Comment Spam
That's a nice piece of news seeing as I am attacked at least once a week by these whackjobs. Thankfully I have some nifty little plugin scripts that prevents them from posting before I approve messages with certain flagged words and phrases like 'casino', 'gambling', and 'penis enlargement' (how did they know?) or blocks domains entirely that are on a blacklist already for spamming.

Everyone has favourite cheesy lines from movies they've seen. I just happened to stumble across this classic from The Governator, Arnie, in his flick Predator:

Dumb da-dumb dumb - CBC News: B.C. minister refuses 'knee-jerk' reaction to film credit demands

I've been up doing research for a project I'm a part of at work. Actually I was a awakened out of a dead sleep by ideas that had to be written down. Kind of cool to have an inspired flood like that in the middle of the night.

Anyway, whilst surfing I found this story that I thought funny enough to share - CBC News: Harry's sorry for Nazi costume. The Britich Royals are at it again. This time it's the heir's spare with his foot in his mouth.

Poor Robosapiens. They are having such a hard time right now. If you feel the need to give to help save a Robosapien got to the Robosapien Foundation to help them out. Be sure you watch the videos there especially Rob's story. It's a sad tale.

Okay. Now that is pathetic.

Check out Mongychops - Cheery Tomato via Screenhead.com for new perspectives on bad situations. If you're at all offended by the politically incorrect and sometimes very offside this is not for you. You've been warned. Even I found some to be too much, but I did giggle a few times.

It's been snowing here. Driving in was stupid this morning. Note to Mustang drivers with bald tires: STAY HOME WHEN THE ROADS ARE ICY!

Oh well...

Ever write your name in pee in the snow? I have. Many beers and an arch-enemy's lawn in Nova Scotia makes for good fun. Now you can pee write in the snow too. Thanks to everyone who sent this link. I've been crazily busy so the blog's not getting updated a lot, but things are definitely getting interesting. I may be doing some PA work on a short film this weekend and the ball is rolling on a bunch of other projects. I will blog more about them once we're a little further along.

Comparing the death count from the Tsunami to the deaths at the World Trade Center
The tsunami deaths are as a result of natural disaster whereas the WTC tragedy was a terrorist act so I'm not sure how to really compare the two. People were (and still are) angry at the terrorists for the WTC. Who do you get angry at for this? God? I'm sure a number of folks in the affected countries (and elsewhere) are having troubles with their faith as a result of the tsunami. Just some stuff to ponder.
