End of an Era

Dark times we live in. Now there is no place we can go to enjoy a good wholesome cockfight. Not even Louisiana.

Posting for the hell of it

Post, Post, diddly post. ..

Well, now that's out of my system, I've got a couple questions:

Anybody have suggestions for interesting things, besides the obvious touristy things, to do in Ottawa? Amanda and I are going for the weekend.

Music, anybody hear anything good lately? Common has a new album coming out soon, Be was good, hopefully this one be good too. Beastie Boys have a new album out, it's instrumental like 'The In Sound from Way Out'. I do like that one. Of course these are all prospective good listens, anybody heard anything good?

BTW, I'm actually looking at my server now. It's still in the box, but I'm going to try and tackle it soon.

Oh, and the guest room is done, it's easily the nicest room in the house. New laminate floor (oak looking), two new twin beds, fresh paint, it's all pretty nice. hint hint... wink wink....

Cheers

I'm Coming for You All

I'll be back in Winnipeg on Tuesday, July 10th until Friday, July the 20th. Prepare to be entertained! More accurately, prepare to entertain me! So, yeah, I'll see you then. When the sun rises, look to the North, and you'll see me comin'.

Happy Birthdays and Winnipeg notoriety on Slashdot

Nick, Canada: Happy Birthday. Cheers to you both, enjoy! (I know, not the same day, but didn't get a chance yesterday to send anything)

Here's something about Manitoba Public Insurance demanding Car Immobilizes in all new and high risk cars, otherwise they won't insure them. That's probably not a bad idea, and by the sounds of it, they're shelling out some cash for people to get it done. Article also states that Winnipeg has, per capita, a higher car theft rate than any other city in Canada. Go Winnipeg!! Murder (at least it was), car theft, and Slurpee capitals of Canada/World. Something to be proud of :)

Ouch, I stepped on a milestone

Well, yesterday was June 18th, which marks three months of sobriety for me. The last day I drank was March 17th, which, for the rest of the world, is St. Patrick's Day. It just occurred to me today that (assuming I stick with this), every year on March 17th when I am celebrating another year of sobriety, the whole western world will be getting as drunk as humanly possible. Damn. I wish I'd thought that through a bit better.
