Science is Cool
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 7th, 2003
I went to the bathroom and tried to look at myself in the mirror during a snort/hork. It’s really dark in there (my throat, not the bathroom… I have lights in the bathroom). So I took out my little compact mirror (which I received for free with a box of Q-tips and would never have purchased on its own) and reflected the bathroom lights into my gaping, shadowy piehole.
Suspension of Disbelief
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 6th, 2003
One thing I don’t understand about the first Matrix movie: The guy who turns traitor does so because he’s sick of eating slop, being uncomfortable, etc., but if they can recreate the entire universe for the purposes of training, and that little Mouse guy can pimp that Girl In Red, couldn’t they whip up a Read the full article…
Get Well Soon
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 6th, 2003
Well, I’m officially sick. I thought that it might blow over after that first day, but here I am on day five, with all the classic symptoms of infection: slight headache, sore muscles, raw throat, sneezing, and a nose that is doing an impression of the soft-serve machine at Dairy Queen.
I’m Going to Hell For Laughing at This
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 5th, 2003
I just started laughing, remembering something I saw on “World’s Funniest Home Videos” the other day. The setting is a casual house party full of thirty-somethings. The guy with the video camera had zoomed up so that this one couple fills the frame. The guy is sitting to her left, eating peanuts. The girl is Read the full article…
Run Lizard Run
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 5th, 2003
I got a flyer in the mail from Telus (they’re the leading phone company out here in Western Canada). It’s a thick, folded-and-glued monstrosity that acts like a page out of a pop-up book; when you hold one end and pull the other, a little green lizard moves across the front of the flyer. They Read the full article…
The Non-Movie Review
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 4th, 2003
Finally caught part 2 of the Matrix last night. Little things that pissed me off: No butter. They were out of butter. How difficult can it be to NOT run out of butter? You’re a MOVIE THEATRE. Commercials before the movie. Especially the one for the new Studio hair gels, named after the seven deadly Read the full article…
Contagious
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 2nd, 2003
I hate being sick. I shouldn’t complain, because I don’t get sick often, but whenever I do, it’s the same thing: sore throat. Not really sore, actually; more like slicing, razor-blades every time I swallow. Not so much fun. Met Kathy for a “smoothie” since she’d already had lunch. We sat on the lawn in Read the full article…
Why You Should Give Blood
Posted by yoursinwriting in Articles on May 31st, 2003
It seems silly to even have to make this argument. In any given week, you will stub your toe, or bonk your head, or do yourself some other, unproductive accidental harm that hurts much more than giving blood.
Fish Feel Pain! Call CNN!

Scientific experts conclude that fish feel pain. Nobody cares, but it raises philosophical questions.
Dave the Roommate Reloaded
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on May 25th, 2003
Tonight Dave and I were watching our favourite TV show, “Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.” Easily the funniest show on television ever, it’s a crazy Japanese game show where contestants play weird obstacle-course style games, which usually end up with them getting humiliated, injured, or both.
