Evidence?
Can I get a hell yeah! I think Jack Black owes this dude royalties or something.

No, not that kind, the kind you grow on your face. I’m three days into one, and I’m thinking of growing it out.
What should I do? Shave or Grow?
The Shins – “Phantom Limb”
Posted in Music on October 31, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
When compiling my best of 2006 list, is it wrong of me to put an album that won’t be released until 2007? Possibly… The Shins new album would be in the top three (alongside the Maritime album and the Band of Horses album). By the time December 2007 comes around, will I forget about it [...]
Ok, it’s not even really November is it?

November is Jazz
Posted in Music, Naveling on October 30, 2006 | 1 Comment »
I always listen to Jazz in November. I don’t know why, but every November I pull out my Jazz records. After November, I rarely listen to Jazz. I think it is a pallet cleanser, and it warms me up for December, in which I pull out my extensive Christmas music collection (and I am not [...]
I’m a widow / and I’m hot to do you
Posted in Music on October 30, 2006 | 3 Comments »
Now listening to the FREE live Robert Pollard album Moon that Merge Records sent me when I pre-ordered Normal Happiness last month. The song “I’m a Widow” absolutely kills on this. Listen for yourself!
I now have 50 releases in my personal collection from Robert Pollard – including LP’s, 7″‘es, CD’s, Singles, box sets from [...]

Here is what I require: I need some people to memorize this chart so that we can have a tournament or something. I am not even kidding.
To play, select a hand jesture (my favourite is toilet. Just so you know, toilet defeats alien by intriguing it).
Lets hold a tournament over the X-mas holidays (58 [...]
Dear Stats: I hate you
Posted in Academic on October 27, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
I wrote my first exam since 2003, and I blew it. I know by now that everyone says this after writing a test, but I have a good sense of these things, and I am pretty sure that I blew it.
All is lost?
Not quite. The test is only worth 20%, and I just need to [...]
“I thought of maybe quittin’”

I am about to enter… stats hell. I have an exam that I have been studying for over a week now. I am either totally over prepared, or I may get called on the fact that I don’t get a word of this shit. Or maybe I do…

Insert: Tragically Hip // Quote: “It’s not the band I hate / It’s their fans”
Posted in Music on October 26, 2006 | 7 Comments »
It could have been the Willie Nelson, or perhaps it could have been the wine, but after many years of disinterest in The Tragically Hip, I think I have come full circle.
You see, when I was in the fourth Grade, my family moved to a little city in Manitoba entitled Brandon. Now, Brandon at the [...]

Dear me:
So you took the afternoon away from studying to watch “Flags of Our Fathers.” Did you enjoy it? Exactly. I too thought that this film was bloated, redundant, and save for a few decent scenes, was not enjoyed. Clint Eastwood apparently makes “good” movies, but this is two stinkers in a row (yes “Million [...]

Mind map: Small Wonder (80’s TV show)
Posted in Pop culture on October 24, 2006 | 2 Comments »
Here is a map of my procrastination:
1) Read RSS feeds on Bloglines for 40 minutes.
2) See a post on 80’s Halloween Costumes, follow link
3) See the following costume of Vicky the robot from Small Wonder
4) Wonder to self “I wonder if YouTube has any Small Wonder Episodes?
5) YouTube has many.
6) Watch on in its entirety [...]
On: Urban Alienation
Posted in Calgary, Hate, Web Comics on October 24, 2006 | 3 Comments »
See, the thing is that I have been to Calgary a billion times. Living in Lethbridge, it was the closest city with good shows and half decent record stores.
Hell, I even lived here 1996-1997. I was trying to make something out of myself (i.e. I wanted to be a rock star. Don’t laugh.) and I [...]
Borat on Conan

Is nice.
The Borat movie comes out this Friday. A perfect way for me to forget about my dismal perfomance on the statistics test I am writing that morning.
I am planning on seeing Borat 23 times. In the theatres.
University of Lethbridge Upass
Posted in Hate on October 23, 2006 | 4 Comments »
A vote was put to the University of Lethbridge student body whether to increase fees by $52 a semester in exchange for a semester long bus pass for registered students. I just read that 60% of students voted no. This is dissapointing (but not suprising).
Having two degrees from the UofL, I am well aware of [...]
“Resident Expert”
Posted in Academic on October 23, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
I was interviewed by The Atlantic Monthly yesterday for a long form piece that the journalist (Arthur Poe) is writing on Metafilter. I was interviewed as the “resident expert,” seeing as how I wrote my thesis on Metafilter. It went well, and I am excited to read the piece.
It is strange that writing a thesis [...]
The Shins – Wincing the Night Away

I have listened to it! This record is so good that I am willing to fly to wherever in the world and punch the first reviewer that references Garden State or says that this is going to “change your life” in a manner in which said reviewer is thinking they are going to be clever.

This post by my friend Gillian explains everything I feel about certain “art” people. Amazing. Must read!
