Oh boy, another...

SO, it's here again, the affliction of Thursday Evenings, and a reason to watch CSI... Survivor's back with the most shocking twists EVER!!! This time they are starting with 4 tribes, old chicks, young chicks, old guys and young guys. Booyah. I don't know if I'll get into this one or not, however I am intrigued by the exile island concept and new tribal starting setup. Looked like the characters were pretty bland.

CSI's on afterwards, so I have a reason to pay attention to it.

In other news, the Leafs sure have been impressive lately.

In other news, sources have revealed that monkeys aren't real.

In other news, Jack Layton's moustache speaks up regarding years of emotional abuse.

LOST

So, Matt and Faith and I are watching the LOST recap thing last week and listened extra close to what Walt was saying to shannon when he appeared to her the few times after he was kidnapped and before she kicked it. We thought it couild be backwards, so in an act of computer-wizardry, I took the audio from those stretches and reversed it, probably expecting to hear a message from satan or something. Here's what we found.

When Sayid and Shannon try to make Island baby 2, he leaves the tent to get water, he says "They're coming, and they're close"

When Shannon is running after the dog, Walt shows up and says "press the button, no button's bad"

Something to think about.

Would you Rather (pg 55)

have glow-in-the-dark body hair

OR

be immune to the lethal combination of Pop Rocks and Coke?

Things to Consider: completely gratuitious reference to "Pop Rocks and Coke" myth

Are dogs and horses smart?

I read a stupid book of stories about animals at work today for "Story Time"... The book was trying to find out whether animals are intelligent at all or if they just act that way sometimes. I read about Midnight the bucking bronco, Stubby and Chase, dogs who did some crazy things. Stubby the dog was a good story, he was a war hero, with no training as a war-dog... How could an animal such as that be smart enough to save people's lives?

I know my cat's pretty stupid... that's it.

(pg 52) Would you Rather...

be able to walk on pudding

OR

be able to project holograms of the Mexican super-group Menudo?

things to consider: street performing, convincing primitive cultures you're a god

What's up with that?

The Leafs take the first West Coast swing in a long time and they only have 1 Late game which wasn't all that late (9:00). I'm kinda T-O'd about tomorrow's game, as it's on Leafs TV (which I have) but it's on at 7pm and I teach til 9:30, leaving me unable to watch. Ah well

In other news, LOST returns this wednesday at 9... booyah!

That'll teach me to say stupid things

So tonight I got a speeding ticket. 27km over limit, knocked down to 15 over about 1/3 the cost and no points... that's a relief. I was just saying to someone yesterday that I usually get a feeling about when COPS are around so I don't get tickets. IDIOT!

What makes it worse is that the whole reason for me leaving the house tonight and driving fast on the highway was to go to play some pick up hockey with the guys Faith and I are going to Czech Republic with. After getting the ticket, I arrived at the arena to find the arena empty of anyone for the 11:00 time. Our name was on the board for the 11:00 slot, but no one was there. I waited about 20 minutes, only to find that I was apparently the only one not in the know.

And so I muttered unpleasantries all the way home... That's all I have to say about that,

Wednesday's Would You Rather...

Would you Rather... (pg 17)

have skin that doesn't tan upon direct contact with the sun, but rather plaids

or

have a vocal cord deformity whereupon attempting to utter any type of greeting, the Happy Days theme blasts from your mouth?

Happy New Year!

Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I don't find New Years to be all that exciting of a "Holiday". In the past I've always gladly offered to work Newyears Day to get the time and a half pay on the biggest copp-out Stat holiday there is. Why accomodate the collective hangover or most of the world? Why not make St Patricks day after a stat?

Anyways, I'm not much for big parties. I enjoyed the company of people we met up with, but 2005 ended with a big melodramatic finish and a kiss on the cheek. We saw all the people in Times Square squealing like idiots and kissing anything in range, but I really didn't find any desire to be part of that.

In with the new I suppose. Back to listening to people's resolutions and watching them continuously break them until February when they say "screw it" and forfeit. Time to contuinually ruin cheques and write 05 by mistake in the date portion. Maybe I'm just not sentimental enough to want to reflect on last year and re-focus on this year. oh well.

I hope your new year is fruitful and fruitcake-less...
