Hello, world. I’ve emerged from my backshift-y weekend in one piece, having had three of the most boring shifts in recording history. As I’ve said before, since I work in an emergency room, a slow shift is definitely a good thing, in terms of society and karma and stuff. It does, however, make for a long night.
I spent Friday doing pretty much nothing, but on Saturday, I went to a barbecue at Planet AJKPT. Adam (”A”), you see, got a big back-pay cheque from work and decided that they needed a barbecue. The funny/sad part is that he was at work when the barbecue was inaugerated, since he works non-stop. Anyway, good times were had by all (the housemates + Keddy, Steve, Janet/Katie’s parents, David, Russell, Amanda, Baby, and self). The weather has been absolutely fantastic lately — normally, the first barbecue of the rain is done in winter coats, and eaten inside. Oh, Canada.
On Sunday, Janet and I went to a “Country Music Jamboree” thing that my mom was singing at with Joey and Mary Ann. It was…country…tastic. Yeah. Yodelling should definitely not be legal. Janet raised a good point by surveying the audience and then asking “Why is it that as you as you turn sixty, you want your sneakers to be as white as humanly possible?” The best thing to come out of the whole thing is that some old lady from the middle of nowhere named a cow after my Mom. Somewhere in rural Nova Scotia, there is a cow named Angie. I’m not sure if that’s awesome or really, really sad, but I’m glad that people — no matter how rural — like my mom.
Anyway, that brings the world up to speed. I’ve got to be at work at 3:00 today, and then tomorrow is the First Car Cleaning of the year! As you know, this is an epic event for me: I haven’t cleaned the car since October or so. Eesh! And on that note, the new Chevrolet Aveo 5 commercial with the old lady is utterly fantastic.

But she is also kinda scary. She is way too pushy for an old lady.
Steve

Keddy’s quote is brilliant. We’re the sit on the couch generation.

You have already grasped that Sisyphus is the absurd hero. He is, as much through his passions as through his torture. His scorn of the gods, his hatred of death, and his passion for life won him that unspeakable penalty in which the whole being is exerted toward accomplishing nothing. http://jrcreations.com/cialis/

http://ace-decoy-anchors.com History aside, the almost universal opinion that one’s own religious convictions are the reasoned outcome of a dispassionate evaluation of all the major alternatives is almost demonstrably false for humanity in general. If that really were the genesis of most people’s convictions, then one would expect the major faiths to be distributed more or less randomly or evenly over the globe. But in fact they show a very strong tendency to cluster…which illustrates what we all suspected anyway: that social forces are the primary determinants of religious belief for people in general. To decide scientific questions by appeal to religious orthodoxy would therefore be to put social forces in place of empirical evidence.
