Wow. I’m a loser. I’m sitting here, my ears are full of some cold-related goop and I feel like some invisible man is plugging them, and what am I doing? I’m playing a new game that I just found out about. It’s Sudoku, or as one funny man called it once, suckadoo, for blinks. Technically …

Don’t Worry About the Smoke, the Computer Says We’re Fine.
I saw a TV commercial advertising something that scared me. G.M. has had this thing called OnStar for a while in their newer vehicles. Basically, it’s a way of getting help in various situations, like if you lock your keys in your car, you crash, or you have some medical emergency while driving. You push …

Am I Crazy?
I got thinking the other day about things I used to think when I was a kid, and realized I thought a lot of weird things. I hope other people thought of just as many. Then I’ll be able to say I’m not weird. Where do I begin? I remember sitting at the table once …
Welcome back Karine!
Well holy crap it’s a good day. It’s warm outside and we have a window open. I finally convinced my computer that yes, it’s ok to open haloscan’s windows on this site…and when I did, I found a surprise! In one of the comment windows, Karine is back, with a new blog! Yea Karine! How …
No News Is Top News
We’ve got Canadian tourists being murdered by professional hitmen in Mexico. We’ve got buildings falling down and killing people. We’ve got what could be the largest bank robbery in British history. We’ve got earthquakes, shootings and city-wide strikes that are shutting down important services in some places. We’ve got lots of things that I’m sure …
Why All The Fear? This Isn’t Singapore!
I already know this, but I had it brought back to me today as I was walking around the mall. Maybe someone can explain this to me. Why are people so afraid of the white cane? I mean, I know why some people from China are afraid of the cane because it’s got some bad …
This Strikes me as Pointless
So I’ve been seeing on the news that a bunch of city employees have decided to go on strike. Because of this, libraries, rec centres, snow removal and garbage collection, among other things, have been shut down. And then of course, mother nature has to drop a load of blowing snow and freezing rain on …
Does the Thought Still Count Anymore?
I know I’m a couple days late for getting this post up, but whatever. Every year I think this, I’m just finally saying it. When I was a little kid, and Valentine’s Day came around, they always helped us make cards, and told us it was the thought that counted. It was the fact that …
If You Prick Him, Does He Not Bleed?
Why do people in general have a tendency to turn into stammering numbnutses when they meet someone famous? It doesn’t even matter if they’re extremely famous, or someone who they’ve seen on the TV a lot in some silly ad. But somehow I don’t think the reaction of most people on recognizing Canadian Tire Ted …
Is Something Out to Get Me?
Does anyone remember the myth about the fates? This is the way I remember it. They are 3 stone-faced old women who sit on a mountain knitting a quilt. Each thread represents someone’s life. If they cut a thread, that person dies. If the fates really exist, one is bent on cutting my thread, and …
