In my long LJ absence I've acquired summer jobbage. I get to be a 'courtesy clerk' at Safeway, which is pretty much just a fancy way of saying that I'm a bagboy who gets the additional benefits of cleaning up spills made by customers who haven't grasped the notion of holding onto an item. Kinda sucks given that I was hoping for something music- ( Read more... )

hurray for reversal of fortunes. Calgary's out, hence negating any negative feelings I has concerning Detroit getting out. I've been handing out resumes today with the prospect of some form of summer job. I took time out of my busy schedule in downtown to point at every remaining supportive slogan for the Flames, yell "not anymore!" and laugh ( Read more... )

Sweet jesus. There is no god. I have not lost all hope, however. Seeing Calgary lose will be even more satisfying to me than seeing Detroit win. *sobs into his jersey*

final day of classes for us, cueing the countdown to exams and eventual leavage. I have to say, I actually feel some sense of not wanting to go. Mind-bogglingly, I've encountered an educational experience that didn't leave me with bitter hate towards all humanity (don't worry, most of it is still there and it'll probably regenerate over the summer ( Read more... )

Stumbed across this on YTMND just now. Quite possibly one of the few things that manages to set off both my 'Awesome' and 'WTF' alarms at the same time. Behold - a cryogenically-frozen Sigmund Freud sent to Afghanistan to destroy the taliban by means of high-flying action and the Oedipus complex. Leave a comment

Hi kids, I'm still here. Been a busy little... while for me lately. Having a term paper sandwitched between regular essays tends to be a bit of a bitch. The limited space in my dormroom is definately noticible, it feels like there's a hell of a lot less space with art history books all stacked up on the floor next to my desk. The topic in question ( Read more... )

So apparantly some large-scale pro-life demonstration is taking place on campus tomorrow. This group is supposedly notorious for using graphic images to compare abortions to lynchings, the Holocaust, Rwandian massacres, ect. Obviously these people are nuts to a Westboroian degree and I have no problem with there being an accompanying protest to the ( Read more... )

So, Valentine's Day is upon us ( Read more... )

I'm on UBC Pride's mailing list. Usually this involves getting article postings or updates on meetings, most of quick I quickly gloss over before dumping into my trash folder. One message caught my eye, however. Such an article can be seen here. I pretty much saw this as yet another petty outrage from Pride and pretty much finally got the nerve to ( Read more... )

So the other day I was madly writing an essay due tomorrow (usually with my bi-weekly essays I have a relatively secure schedule that I stick to; on this occasion, for whatever reason, I found myself on the day before the due date with less than a page written up. Cue major cram-writage). I usually take advantage of my ipod speakers and the absence ( Read more... )
