The end
This my last entry on LiveJournal.
I got this account when my sister, maroon_lagoon, gave me an invite code back in October 2003. There weren't many people to read back then (just enigmaticdan, lambda_calculus, elindros8897, katforchrist, and firstgold). Over time, more and more people joined LJ, and somewhere between 2004 and 2005 it became a moderate phenomenon at SPUC; it wasn't unusual to see 20 or 30 posts per ( Read more... ) -
My favourites
Happy 2011! I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and will have a safe and prosperous new year!
Oh wait, I missed that by a few months. Hmm. Valentine's Day, Easter, and Canada Day, too. Oh well. I guess I've fallen behind in updating this journal.
Well, if you are craving more RodBadian literature, here is a selection of my favourite ( Read more... ) -
Merry Christmas
Luke 2:8-20And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid.

Being alone
Last Thursday during Bible study, our leader asked everyone what their plans were for American Thanksgiving. The idea was to figure out how many people were going to be around that night and if it was worth holding group ( Read more... ) -
"The Simpsons" clip shows
Having been on the air for twenty years now, "The Simpsons" have had their fair share of clip shows. Originally, the clip shows were merely compilations of highlights from previous episodes. Perhaps the most famous of these episodes is "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" (4F20), hosted by the venerable Troy McClure. This episode showed ( Read more... ) -
March - July 2009
I promise to update regularly, and I don't. And, hence, another trimesterly update on my life. This one covers late March to early July.
Parents: My parents visited me for five nights in late May. It was terrific having them over here. I had only been living in Seattle for two months the last time they visited, so this time I was able to take ( Read more... ) -
Where we last left off
So it's been over four months since posting anything of substance on here. We have two options: I could go into the day-by-day excruciating detail that I am so famous for, or I could give a bird's eye view of my life.
My attention span is short, so let's go with the latter.
Work: It's going really well. I won't go into much detail on here for ( Read more... ) -
An historic inaugural post of 2009
Spoken from the steps of the White House late last week:
"...and these past few months have proved difficult not only for Americans, but for our neighbours living around the world. There isn't a person on this planet who has not, in some way, experienced the difficulties of these uncertain and challenging times. We stand united, because that's ( Read more... ) -
Sixpence
Why didn't anyone tell me that Sixpence None The Richer reunited last year? Man, this is very exciting. -
Can you spot the Canadian?
In lieu of Bible study last Thursday, we had a dinner night so that we could hang out and relax. We were discussing the election, and most people in the group were voicing their disappointment about McCain losing the election to Obama.
#1: "He'll be all tax-and-spend. Just tax the rich and move the wealth to the poor."
#2: "And his proposal for ( Read more... )
