The government’s idea to ban – outright ban – incadescant bulbs, is just stupid. If anyone thinks otherwise, that is, has thought about it, and still thinks otherwise, I’ll fight them. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=e8662514-9d1c-4957-a8a4-ef23ec8d927f&k=44899
Read More An article in the National Post I actually agree withMaybe we should just be happy to have made the 2nd round. This Ducks team has the size and skill that the Canucks could have taken to the finals in 02 or 03. (Hey – they have the same GM too). In fact, the Ducks remind me more of the Canucks of 02 or 94 […]
Read More The Ducks 5, the Canucks 1Alright, I’d really love to watch the game today, but I don’t have a TV, and I’m too poor to keep going to bars. Anyone want to invite me over? (Angela, I’m not asking you, I understand you’re ultra-busy/stressed, but thanks again for last time) So… anyone up for watching the game? I can bring […]

Read More Canucks, and a defense of Hockey FanatacismI sometimes use the word “nihilism” in everyday speech. This creates a lot of problems. For some reason (which is actually immediately understandable), people take offense at being called “nihilists”.

Read More Interesting Car commercial from 80s1) The Canucks do not always buckle under pressure 2) Angela IS just as cool as I remembered (and much more cheerful in person!) 3) Just because it’s later in the year doesn’t mean it’s warmer in the night 4) Eventually you stop feeling your cold hands.
Read More Things I learned tonightWhen you think of Vancouver and racing you probably think Richmond and street racing. Or, you might think driving all the way to mission just to run 1/4 mile times or their lousy road course, which is at least better than driving all the way to Seattle for the nearest real road course. What you […]
