Chris Benoit and family found dead

Authorities believe wrestler Benoit killed wife, son then himself

Authorities believe a professional wrestler, his wife and son ‑ found dead in their central Fayette County home Monday afternoon ‑ died in a murder-suicide.

District Attorney Scott Ballard said Monday night that he felt confident that Chris Benoit killed his wife Nancy, their 7-year-old son and then himself.

Ballard declined to release the cause of death, but said that earlier news reports that the Benoits died of gunshots were false. The crime lab is in the process of confirming the cause of death, but Ballard said there was enough evidence on scene to make him confident that the Benoits were not killed by another person.

Ballard said sheriff's deputies were called to the Benoit home around 2:30 p.m. after another wrestler called the sheriff's department asking them to check on the family because Benoit had failed to show up for an event in another state. When deputies got to the Benoit home off Quarters Road, they smelled the odor of decaying bodies, Ballard said.

The family's bodies were found inside the home, Ballard confirmed.

"Every indication is that this is a murder-suicide," Ballard said, adding that additional investigation still has to take place before a final determination can be made.

Ballard said when he heard that a young child was killed, it "just tore my guts out."

Benoit made his WWE debut in January 2000, following a stint in ECW and WCW and he was at one time world heavyweight champion, world tag team champion and intercontinental champion.

Take that kitten!

What's this? Aerosmith performing their classic hit Dream On?




Why this must be from some parallel universe where Danielle is always wrong

Manhunt 2

So, does anyone out there remember Manhunt? The most violent thing to show up on the PS2? You play a serial killer going out and stalking and brutally (and quite graphically) slaughtering your victims. Well the new one is coming out on the Wii. Complete with murder simulating motion controls! I don't think I want to play it but I need to try it just to see what it's like. I mean, it's supposed to be like Splinter Cell except you're supposed to kill everybody

More LOLBOT action

My god, I really hope the future is a Valiant comic...

MY MATRIX. LET ME SHOW YOU

Yeah, when it was just cats it was a meme I could pass by, but once robots got involved you knew I'd take notice

Everyone should have a Transistor Sound and Lighting Co.

So, today was god damned gorgeous here. Mid-twenties weather, bright sunny sky and nobody on my favorite bench in the park in front of the little waterfall. So I sat down with a peanut butter kit kat, a bottle of grape flavoured water and read while listening to Transistor. Those who know the band know that this is my band. They came out with a CD, kind of fell apart with no body else even hearing of them. It really feels like it made just for me, and I love that just as much as I love the music. It's my personal sound track whenever I listen to it. And while it's a Wednesday which normally mean I'd be reading about Yorrick, Megan and Tim but I've found that Andy, Dag and Claire work just as well

We go straight when there's nothing in the way

So me and Danielle checked out the park here today. There's a swans and waterfalls and all kinds of awesome! There's even a tunnel under the highway with (get this) Christian Graffiti! Someone spray painted a psalm in there which is exactly what Jesus would do.

I've got a bunch of the new job under my belt and it's decent. I'm finally gonna get paid on thursday so I might buy some cool stuff

Jareth comes to town

So birthdays are fun. They are funner when referred to as b-days cause it's hip to say it that way. And to be square. But the hippest thing is getting presents and I did that. My new boss gave me 6 beer from the store so this is now a cool place to work.
And I got some Ex Machina and other books from my parents. AND I got Super Paper Mario on the Wii and it is all kinds of platforming goodness so far.

And my brother got me David Bowie's donkey balls! Well, he got me a Jareth the Goblin King figure from Labyrinth which is really the same thing

Working Stiff

So, I got a job. Turns out the Ultramar here was hiring, and I've done that before and when I went down the guy was all like, "I'd have to be an idiot not to hire you, can you start tonight?" So I did, and now I've got a week under my belt. It's fairly easy and unless you commit fraud you're probably not gonna get fired. Oh, guess what two of my former co-workers did!?! Yup, good old fraud... I guess stealing credit cards is tougher than the tv news says it is. So we have 5 people working at the store now and 1 of them is SOOOO dumb. Like, really dumb. When adding up the till on a calculator and he gets the number 12.8 he doesn't get that that is twelve dollars and eighty cents. He thinks it's twelve dollars and eight cents. And he's been told the difference a few times already.
But on the plus side it means I'm worshiped as a god there now

HTML blues

Man, it took like 10 minutes for me to find out the back ground colour of my blog so I could make the text the same... Templates are not easy to sift through

My Spidey Sense is tingling

So me and Dan went to see Spider-man 3 today. It was the combination of horrible theater experience and a horrible movie.
Seriously, I think that this is the first movie ever shown at this theater cause they had no idea what was going on. We got there a little late and the previews were playing, but this is the first time I've seen that meant the theatre was pitch dark. We had to wait for flashes of lightening in the Harry Potter preview just to see where seats were let alone if they were empty. Then when we found seats the floor was covered in popcorn. I really do mean covered, there was 2 full bags in our row thrown all over, they didn't clean the place between showings. Then people who have never been in public before sat in front of us, talking all the way through and sitting straight up with their giant fros. Who sits straight up in a movie theater? YOU SLOUCH! It's common courtesy! And one of them left to purchase concessions, came back 15 minutes later and needed to be caught up on everything. Loudly. Boo! And then with 5 minutes left in the movie, they brought the house lights up! What the fricken heck? You do that in the credits, not the movie! GRRR.

And then there's the movie. I'm gone blank the text out in case anybody reads this but hasn't seen it yet, but otherwise just highlight it to read.

WHY WHY WHY??? Why did this have to be such a bad cheesy movie? Remember Superman 3? Yes it's Richard Pryor cheesy. Chester Cheetah chessy. It's... it's just really cheesy ok. That stupid Saturday Night Fever getting sequence, the Jazz bar crap, even JJ was painful in this one. And the fight scenes were just plain lazy. "hmm, we could take the time to make this look really good and convincing, but that would cost a lot of money, just make it go really really fast so people can't tell the difference." If you can tell me what happened during the open Goblin fight then you deserve a medal. And Harry's butler, where'd they drag this guy from? I've seen some bad acting in my day, but I think they pulled this guy of a used car lot commercial. And none of that scene made any sense! Hey Harry, I know that you and your dad were the Green Goblin, and I totally saw him when he died and his wounds came from his glider, which totally means that he killed himself by accident... and I'm just telling you this now cause it's convenient for the plot, so don't think about how stupid this is, especially sine you get killed by your glider later in the script yet it clearly isn't by your own hand. And what was up with that? He can control his glider with precision accuracy and remote control in the first fight but he can't in the last fight so he jumps in front of it? And not jump in front of it and catch it or knock in out of the way, but he lets it stab him? Bah? Now there were some good parts, I mean the Sandman was great. That Wings guy got buff, and he did a great job here. So did ChrisTofer Grace as Eddie Brock. Too bad they killed him off before he did anything cool at all. And really they just crammed too much stuff into this movie without caring about making a good film.

So, I recommend waiting for rental, or stealing it from the interweb. Don't pay $10 for it, or $8.25 like I did to see it in a really crappy theater

Newfie Weather

I can not believe that we are still getting snow here. This is just plain gross

I'll trade you sheep for wheat cupcakes

Wow, that is some tasty awesome

Goodbye Rory...

Yup, it's official. Gilmore Girls is Canceled

Kirk Cameron vs Ration

So, next Wednesday on ABC Kirk Cameron and his cult leader Ray Comfort will be in a Nightline debate trying the argue the existence of God against The Rational Response Squad who do this sort of thing all the time. It should be freakin hilarious!!!

Origins

Glee! Neil deGrasse Tyson was on the Colbert Report today! This guy is great! He was on talking about the new planet, Gliese 581C, but it turns out that beyond just the origins special on PBS he's got a new NOVA show coming out. So now I need to learn which channel is PBS. I guess I just flip til I see sesame street right?

The glories of technology

So, I picked an S-video cable to connect my lappy to the tv so I can watch movies and whatnot up there. BUT then I figured out that I don't have to just choose which screen I'm watching on, I can use both! There's a little check box in the display properties asking if I want to use the second monitor as an extension of my desktop. So of course I said yes and now, if I drag the mouse off the left edge of the Lappy screen, it shows up on the tv! I know this old hat to some people out there but it is pure magic to me. So I can watch downloaded anime and blog at the same time! It's no flying car, but the future is still pretty cool

People sell the craziest things

So, check this out. VOLTRON SHOES! and not like some crappy tennis shoe with a sticker on it, these are some fancy Reeboks. I would totally wear the yellow and blue set.
Also, check out wearefishermen.com. I think this has to be a parody site right? Like no real Christian is going to have a begging jesus statue, even though I think it kicks ass.

For every delicious buritto there's a horrible crap

So, the inevitable happened. Fox canceled Drive. I should be more upset and surprised, but this is FOX we're talking about. They've canceled so many awesome shows, heck they canceled Family Guy twice already, but I thought it'd get more than 3 episodes. After all, they must have had car companies throwing money at them for product placement, so they could have given it a bit more time, then do a big marathon some day like what was done with LOST to let people who heard about through word of mouth to catch up. Stupid Fox...

But yay Astronomers! Now we've got a place to go! It's got a 13 day year, it's a little bigger than earth and it's only 20 light years away. I'm gonna start packing my bags right now

There's life in Seki

So, as many of you know I am intrigued by boobies the game of Go. And since I live in North America I figured I'd go ahead and learn the AGA rule set, but it took me a while to figure out if a passing stone is considered a prisoner (it is) and then a little longer to realize that this doesn't matter at all since they score using area counting and prisoners don't count.

But, all of that is really just to say where I was going when I stumbled onto some ancient Go lore, specifically, the 4 day long game where ghosts told one player 3 moves that led him to victory, and right after the game, the other other player vomited blood on the board and died two months later. 3000 year old games have some cool history

Eleven!

Today, right now, it is 11 degrees out! Glee!!!

Gander

Did I not make a post about Gander? Me and Danielle went there for Easter cause her parents live there and man oh man, let me tell you Newfies know how to make chowder! I could probably eat it 'til I died from too much awesomeness.
And Gander is just like Ormoncto which makes me think that military bases all have that same town springing up next to them

Been a while...

So, Kurt Vonnegut passed away... It shook me up a bit cause he's someone that I always wanted to meet. Like, of his generation, the people who went through the War and were alive before TV, he was probably the only person I'd be able to relate to and to be able to just hang out and talk with. But he won't really be gone to me until I read all his books, so I'll keep working at that.
My birthday is coming up and i just sent a massive list of wants to my mom. This way I really have no idea what I'm gonna get, but I know that what I do get will rock. Also, it turns out that I want a lot of stuff. Who knew?

Oh and I got a plant from the Dominion, which is the super store for newfies. His name is Jim and while not a kitten, he'll do for the short term

A fateless destiny

So tonight while talking with Danielle something got said (I can't remember what, and it's not that pertinent to the narrative) and Daneille said something like, "Don't say that, cause then it's out in the universe and it'll happen now", and I laughed at her for being silly. Then that sort of turned into a talk about superstition and fate and how we disagree on these things, she believes in them but I don't. Anyway, this isn't really a post on my distaste of religion or similar things, but more that I couldn't quite get across how being an atheist makes the world more beautiful for understanding how it was shaped, or how knowing that my sense of right and wrong come from ancient ancestors huddling together for security don't make them more important to me, or (more on topic to what we were discussing) not thinking that things happen for a reason makes every choice more fulfilling. I've tried to force some Richard Dawkins on her, cause he's better at explaining these things but it hasn't happened yet.

And yes I know that Danielle is gonna read this, but it's on my mind so I'm writing it anyway.

Better than Mama!!!

So, Sunday while me and Danielle were out and about looking for an elliptical trainer (which is it's own story in a frustrating Walmart employee tracking down kinda way) and when we didn't pick one up we headed over to the electronics department to browse. There I found Batman Beyond season 3 and Justice League Unlimited season 2 both for $25. Now I don't have BB season 2 or JLU season 1 cause I could ever find them for less than 50 each. So I was all iffy about which one to get. Then I was really pondering both.
But if I was gonna spend $50 than I might as well just buy cooking mama for the wii

Seriously, the first thing you'll notice is just how bad Mama's accent is. Kim Jong Il's puppet has nothing on Mama. Then you'll notice that it's a pretty fun game. Some parts are easy, some parts need a lot of practice to get right. I'm talking about hte frying pan part. It doesn't tell you what will cook fastest so you need to keep trial and erring til you figure it out.

But it has a 2 player cook off, so I can beat Danielle at making cream puffs and perogies! Which is the best part really

It's really happening

At first I thought it was an early April Fool's joke, but I guess this is really getting made.

Games

So, I was watching Spike the other day when the very first Star Trek DS9 came on. And it made me realize that I hadnt really seen many of those, but I liked the ones I saw, so I went looking for some torrents and now I'm watching some of the first season stuff. It benefits from being a spin off of TNG cause it's like it didn't need that start up period to get it's feet. Also, Heroes is amazing, but it takes forever to come out! I'm gonna blame Jeff Loeb cause he was always late when he was writing Superman / Batman... Sure he doesn't actually write any episodes but I think it works to blame him. So there are a few Wii games on the horrizon that I am looking forward too. Well, there's two out right now that look fun, Godfather and Cooking Mama, and then Super Paper Mario is coming out! That looks quite grand, but it might be a little simple in the long run.

But somehow I have to get a copy of Puzzle Quest for Danielle's DS... Cause damn! I played the demo (and so should you all) And it only let me play for a little while but it was SO GROOD! Good and great. great and good. I mean, it's a bejewelled RPG! It kicks so much ass! Go play it!

Crazy picture

Yeah it looks nice, but does it get you drunk?

For a good night's sleep

Stay away from Eclipso

So, it turns out that Marble Mountain is like, a 10 minute drive away. Me and Danielle went skiing today. It was so pretty out! For one thing, it didn't snow at all, and it was only -3 and super sunny out. The ski hill is insanely huge! It's got all these crazy runs and jumps and stuff that we didn't go near, but we could see from the comfort of the lodge. The lifts seemed to go forever, and the runs just kept going too. The first two runs we did the bunny hill cause it was a while since either of us skied, but the first real run we did I trying to pick out easy or medium hills. Then Danielle went by me and it turns out that she doesn't read. So she went down a black diamond hill and it was rough going. I was okay for about half of it, then I missed an edge and ended up heading straight down the hill with no chance of stopping and once it flattened out I wiped out really good. I even dropped the camera, but found it cause it was next to my hat. But after that we kept to easier hills and had a grand time.

Pictures!







Then there's us tuckered and eating poutine

R.I.P. Steve Rogers

Captain America 1941 - 2007

Warning!! Warning!!

Hey, anyone remember a few years ago when I got hooked on a free computer game called Warning Forever? Well I remember it now and I'm hooked all over again!



That giant thing in the center is Tetra Force Striker Hell, and that little thing over on the right side getting shot at with lazers is me. Awesome

Oh YES!!!!

Damn, why wasn't I in Taipei to see this?

It's tricky

So, it's still snowing here. I don't know how it keeps it up, it must get tired eventually. But if I get out of th car and enter a building for any length of time (like returning movies) I have to clean it off when I get back to it. My car brush is getting more use since I've been here then it got the whole rest of the winter in Freddy. It's a little insane. I'm starting to learn the main roads here, but there are no lane markers here (I guess they get scraped off by the plows) and they haven't figured out that they could put up signs over head showing which lane is for turning, or if there even are two lanes at any given time.
I bought the new SSX game for the Wii with a christmas gift card from Liz. It's quite difficult but also quite awesome. tipping the nunchuck to carve and grab, flicking the remote to do backflips and draw ubertricks... I'm gonna end up putting a lot of time into that game. I wish the gameplay wasn't as open. You have to snowboard down to the start of the races and stuff and search the mountain for new ubertricks, but it's fairly fun, and will probably get better the more I play

Who Watches The Movies?

So, everybody should go and see 300. On the one hand, it just looks like it's gonna be all over the top and flashy battles and all that Frank Miller stuff you saw in Sin City. BUT the real reason to go see 300 is that the same director is making WATCHMEN!!! So if 300 does well, that gives Watchmen a bigger budget. And really who doesn't want to see how they pull off Dr Manhattan or Rorschach?

Urge Splurge

Hey kids.
I finally got Danielle's wireless up and running today which frees up a lot of room, since her compy can go back into the second room. Also, I bought a tv, cause I'm just like that.



It's an LCD so it can handle a bunch of different resolutions and whatnot. Dan's DVD player only outputs 480i like normal tv :( but the tv can handle 720p or 1080i for high stuff, and 480p for the Wii

My God, It's full of stars mountains

So, I'm in Newfoundland now. The place is nothing but hills. And then once you get through the hills, it's mountains. So, it also turns out that I am fricken super stud when it comes to winter driving. Mountains covered in snow can't stop me. Then just make me clean 6 inches of snow off the car every day

Then there's the house today which is sunny, wicked!

Then me trying to show off the mountains all around us. It doesn't really come off that well, but it ain't bad

They did that on the Simpsons

So, since it's 6:30 am I'm awake as usual, this time watching south park episodes. I felt like gathering up the last of my garbage and taking it outside. Then I noticed what the plow did.
They plowed the entirety of George st into a big long pile that completely blocks in my driveway, and every driveway on my side of the road as far as the eye can see. Now sure, I'm a lazy bum who doesn't work or need to drive anywhere, but come on, somebody must be inconvenienced by that!!!

Toast of the future!!!!

That just looks pretty snazzy eh? This website shows how it works and such. It makes me want it, mostly cause it looks quicker than normal toasting

Should I eat this?

I've got water and I've got holes

So, I'm sitting here listening to Wolfparade and watching Zeta Gundam (subtitled so it's easier than it sounds) and it is pretty good times let me tell you! The worst part about living here in the future is that we don't have Mechs or space colonies yet. You're trying to tell me that I can wireless internet but not a flying car? This isn't the future I signed up for...

The apt is getting pretty barren, even if it's still dirty. Depending on just how lazy I am, I'll be out of here before the week is done, and then visits to everybody, then off to the rock.


The worst part of packing up all my stuff to move, is that I'm sitting here with no book to read. It was an amateur mistake, but I made it anyway

Music you might like

Hey kids. So I've been listening to the Radio 3 podcast, and if you haven't been for whatever lazy excuse you've come up for yourself, well shame shame double shame. Anyways, since I figure most of you don't, you should check out The Violent Archers. You can download "First the wheel" there, even though "Co-ordinates" is the song I first feel in love with from them. Possibly cause Great Aunt Ida (who sings pretty enough for a little crush) does backing vocals on it. It's certainly worth stealing off the internet, or even buying it if you're among the moral elite

So full

Oh Em Gee. I am so full of tacos
I made myself tacos, but not just regular tacos, those foldy ones you see on tacobell commercials.
So good!

Richard Dawkins

I just bought this book

The Dark Knight

HOLY FUCK

The iPhone. Wow, just wow. This thing does everything and it does it better than any other phone, mp3 player, or PDS. Hell it's probably a better computer than the laptop I'm typing this on. Apple stocks went up $2.50 just during the announcment of the thing!

Let's go to China

Cause they have things like this

Bone

So, comic books. When it comes to comics for kids, there's not really all that much on the go from the big publishers: Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, or Image... You get all the good stuff from your little indy companies. Like the word free Owly from Oni Press or Mouse Guard from whoever publishes mouse guard (If you care enough you can google it quit being lazy) or the epitome of children's comic books, Bone. Bone has won 11 Harvey Awards and 10 Eisner Awards. This is like a movie getting 11 golden globes and 10 oscars; you know it's gonna be worth checking out.

Now I've had plenty of opportunity to buy and read Bone before but for some reason I just never did. For starters, Fone Bone (and the other two Bones) just look goofy making it seem more childish then the story really is. But looking at the cover, I had no idea and passed it by. This was stupid of me. The characters run the gamut here from the goofy Bone or Red Dragon look, to the realistic Thorn and Barrelhaven residents, to the older caricature-like Grandma Rose and Briar to the just creepy, surely nightmare inducing rat creatures, the book changes style all over the place but somehow they all feel right together. For the large part, this is probably due to it being black and white.

But, if Black and White isn't your cup of tea, Jeff Smith has been going through his series and colouring it for it's release in trade paperbacks. I don't have these, i have the "one volume edition" which is what I suggest you all go out and buy right now, but if you have kids to buy it for, you might go for the pricier coloured editions. I think they're put out through Scholastic, so you know, that's nifty.

Anyway, it's a comic, and I've talked about how it looks but I don't read comics for the art, I read the for the story. And Bone shines! This is a fantasy story and really feels to me like what you would get if Tolken sat down to write Lord of the Rings for children. The 3 Bones are our hobbits but we never see the Shire (Boneville) and they eventually get caught up in world ending battles against ancient evils, but not before some scheming from Phoney Bone and the Great Cow Race. Seriously. You know what? Scratch the LOTR reference. This is Teddy Ruxpin but without the singing. And with deadly serious bad guys. Tweeg wouldn't last long here.

So, anyone who I've ever conned into reading a comic book will probably like this. And you can buy the B&W one volume edition for under $50 which is a deal and half. It's over 1300 pages! So buy one for yourself and another copy for anybody you know who has kids

Holiday cheer

Yeah, so I guess I kinda forgot about this place. Christmas was snazzy. Went home and took the Wii with me. All the big get togethers in our family happen at my parent's place, cause they have a big house with the garage and all that stuff, and this time around, everyone was crowding in the living room to try out Wii sports. It was awesome! There's just something special about seeing little 7 year old Ali beat her 30 year old aunt Christel in tennis. And I showed my cousin Angela the Fitness test part of the game. It has 15 mini games and makes you do 3 of them and gives your age based on the results, where 20 is the best age. She got 78! And you can only take the test once a day so she was bound and determined to come up the next day and get a better score.

Line Rider Helicopter Escape.

Wow, this is just... wow

Remember 1999?

Well the best part of that year is back. YOU DON'T KNOW JACK

Seriously! Karaoke!

WOLFMOTHER SINGS BUSTA MOVE!!! AND THEY ARE SO BAD AT IT!!! Glee!

PANCAKE MOUNTAIN

So, let's pretend you're starting a new children's show. Then, you put it on the net, cause well, why not? TV is for suckers after all. Then cause you're hip enough to make a kids show on the net, you get all of Dave's favorite bands to do performances on the show! Heck, The Evans got together just to do a song for the show and stuck together!

There's stuff by The Evens, Metric, and even the Flaming Lips guy doing Karaoke
It makes me wish I had kids so I could raise them up right. Punk and literate

Things I love

Japan + Wrestling = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oVSyy932a8&NR

Seriously, that guy is amazing

Silly Sony

Hey internet. I thought about not posting this, since everyone with a computer is all up in arms about it, but if you're not a video game geek who checks out Joystiq, Something Awful, or Penny Arcade, you might not know about Sony's most recent snafu. Basically, they set up a fan site to their own product, and it was so obviously fake that it wasn't even funny. Oh man, if only you could still see the horrible rap video they made... Anyways, Sony owned up to it that it's fake, but still it just makes you wonder who's doing this and getting away with it

Oh CHSR... it was going so well

So today, I flipped over to the trustworthy college station not knowing what to hear, but certainly not expecting to hear Lady Sovereign. It was that special shocking kind of disappointment. Like chatting up a hot librarian chick a rock show, then going out for coffees, and then a date, bringing her home to my place, and finding out she has a tweety bird tattoo on her tits. Not cool hypothetical hot librarian chick!

worth another try

Peanut butter Twix... interesting. I think I need to eat more to decide if they're a worth replacement to normal Twix. They're good, but I looked down at my feet and wasn't surprised that my socks were still there

food

Mmm, Ryan's mom fed me all kinds of food last night, including some of the best carrot cake evers! This morning i took her out to Tim's to get those breakfast sandwiches. They are so good! Seriously, go eat one tomorrow, you'll thank me later.
I rented Splinter Cell and Trauma Center for the Wii. Splinter Cell sucks hard. The thing about the Wii is that the controller makes all the games pretty fun. Except when they make horrible controls for it that are pretty unresponsive. I've played it for about 30 minutes and it just makes me angry. Maybe I could get used to the controls, but why bother? They don't work well.

Now Trauma Center on the other hand, is hella sweet! It is what the Wii controller is all about. Even though it's a remake of a game for the DS with it's touch control pad... but the principal is the same, and they added some extra stuff for Wii-ing and it = all kinds of fun. I mean, it's a surgery game! I get to cut people open and take out tumors, and where's the harm in learning that?

just cause

I should get a kitty

Preacher

I hear they're making a Preacher series on HBO again... You hear these rumors a lot but this time I saw a picture of Arseface! Obviously it's a photoshoped deal, but still.... A Preacher tv series would be awesome

a wii bit of family fun

So i took the Wii out to the parents on the weekend. They heart the bowling game! We must have bowled for like 2 hours
And I heart the bowling too, so it all worked out.

Anybody else out there on the tubes have a Wii? wanna be friends?

I heart Richard Dawkins

Seriously, I'd probably go gay for the man. He's a big name in evolutionary biology, and he's written a few books on the subject, in layman's terms, and he did a lecture at McGill university and it was on the CBC radio tonight on ideas. I'll have to download the podcast when it's available, just to here those delightful british tones talk about DNA

A whole lot of nothing

So I went into work today (on a Saturday no less!) to pull wire. It's all we were gonna do today, and we should have been done around 11 or so.

Every possible thing went wrong. The rope is too big, we get smaller ropes, the smaller ropes break, we re-tie the end of the big rope to fit it in, and then the wire comes off of that rope and we have to pull all the wire back out again... trust me, it's a lot more frustrating then that sounds. So we get to do it all again on Monday. Huzzah

Wii

Oh my, but Zelda is pretty! Liz is playing it now and said, "This very strange" I have to agree. But it's pretty awesome. I went to Walmart around 7 this morning and there were 30 people in line, so I drove over to Zellers. Nobody in line! So I got one of 2 that they had for sale there, and I am a happy Dave.


I mean, look at it, all glowing and holy...

A change of plans

So Danielle got the funeral home job in Corner Brook. They were supposed to call her around 4 weeks ago so yeah we were pretty sure that it was not going to happen and she was gonna move here and look for work around here, or at least somewhere in NB. But she got the job now, so she's moving there, which is good cause she gets to be apprenticed and learn her trade, but is bad because I don't get to eat pizza and cuddle while watching Scrubs

What a beautiful day to get rained on

Today was so god damned hot!
Now, I've been tricked by the weather network before, they say it's gonna be super warm, I don't wear many clothes to work and get frozen.
You fool me once, shame on you. You fool me you can't fool me again
But today it said ti was gonna be warm and it was right! By 10 o'clock I was sweating and had to take off my underwear. TRUE STORY! I was wearing joggers in lieu of long underwear, and it was just too much for an 18 degree day. I had to put my hoodie back on when it started raining as I measured out 100 foot lengths of #8 wire, but I didn't even have to zip it up, cause it was still really nice.

You know, as far as getting rained on goes

The Sardakk N'Orr conquer the galaxy

So I finally played my big ass board game! And I won! Woot! I played as the bug race, and I swarmed the crap out of Liz's home planet (a former prison colony, as she was playing the pirate race) to complete my secondary objective card, giving me a two point lead and victory! It took for goddamned ever to play. A lot of it was me not completely knowing the rules and looking stuff up as I tried to teach it. The we started around 6 after choosing races and setting up the board and stuff and finished a little after 12. Oddly enough, for space war game, there were only 2 fights in the entire 6 hours, 1 where I took Liz's home planet (through a sneaky jump through a worm hole) and 1 where Liz was mad at that and fought the closest player available, which was Scotty, and wiped him out with her War Sun (which if it sounds a lot like a Death Star, is cause that's exactly what it was). Ryan managed to remain a peace loving people and still come in second. At any rate, good times were had, even if some people got cranky because it was late and I was making their belly rumble. Oh yeah, I made Taco Salad for everybody Can't expect people to sit for 6 hours and not eat after all


This is about half way through the game, with Scotty and Ryan looking on. We took these pictures as proof that Scotty was in fact playing a game, so his GF would be maybe less upset

Halloween pics

This is Jess's mom in the coolest halloween pic ever


I helped Liz put the blood on her jacket. We went through 7 babies, they don't hold as much as you'd think

Me and Jess and Liz, all nicely drunk

This is me doing a tarot reading for the mimes. Look how freaked out she is! I'm awesome. And this is the only pic that you can see my astroboy hair in, and it's from behind. BOO

A full heady odor

Dear the internet. Today at work, I had such a good fart. Now my farts by no means smell good normally, but this was awe inspiring. I mean, it was as thick and stinky as a fart can get before it's classified as poo. Seriously, this was such a bountiful fart, that I was hungry afterwards

I need a lute

Bard 51% Combativeness, 53% Sneakiness, 70% Intellect, 11% Spirituality

Dashing and multi-talented: You are a Bard! A decent warriors, reasonable spell-caster, and fairly good at tricking people, the Bard is the jack of all trades. These charming fellows live by their wits, though a sharp blade, a few spells, and some lockpicks never hurt. Smart, sneaky, and aggressive, you're probably good at most things you try. You don’t have much need for spirituality or superstition and are much more likely to live in the here and now... and if you can get some fun and profit out of the here and now, even better.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Combativeness You scored higher than 99% on Sneakiness You scored higher than 99% on Intellect You scored higher than 99% on Spirituality

Seriously, this sucked hard

Honest to god, it took me and hour to put up a single piece of pipe in a hallway. IT WAS FRICKEN PACKED! I hope nothing else has to go up in the ceiling, or at least I hope I don't have to put it there. At least I remembered my earplugs. Cause you know how you put a nail up into cement?
