To Party, To Live It Up

We purchased our Cirque du Soleil - La Nouba tickets this evening!

One Night, Do You Remember, We Were Sailing

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

Bored and unhappy in a lifeless marriage, Emma Bovary yearns to escape from the dull circumstances of provincial life. Married to a simple-minded but indulgent country doctor, she takes one lover, then another, hastens her husband's financial ruin with her extravagance, and eventually commits suicide.

We Scare Because We Care

Since I am just one person, who was created by two people, it is only natural that I share some of the same qualities to those of my creators. I asked someone to name me my two best qualities, and my two worst qualities. This is the reply I got:
Best - funny, caring
Worst - temperamental, neurotic
I came to the conclusion that all of my good qualities I got from my Mom, and all of my nasty qualities I got from my Dad. I was also told that I look more like my Dad than my Mom which scares the crap out of me. My Mom is beautiful and my Dad is frightening. Alas, I am cutely-monstrous.

Espanola... A Fine Paper Town!

A picture of my mom's house can be seen on the main page of the Espanola website.

It seems to me that the town should have asked my mom permission before they just slapped a pic of her place on the internet. But that's just my opinion...

Where Is My DeLorean?

All electronics cause cancer- It's a fact. And lucky for me I have X-ray vision. I was just examining the back of my ipod case and I could actually see the area where the gamma rays and electro-waves are disfiguring the plastic in the spot where you plug the cord into the ipod. You can't see this with the naked eye though... you need laser-eyes, which is precisely what I have tonight. I can actually feel my brain cells frying and being mutated as I sit here listening to Kanye West. My immune system is deteriorating as we speak and it's all thanks to the future.

Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks

Everyone always says that as you get older you start waking up earlier every morning... And I believe it because literally every old person I know wakes up at like 5 a.m. every day, which makes me want to puke my brains out... I don't think I'll ever be an earlier riser... Ever. I'm 22 and I could still sleep in till 3 in the afternoon if I wanted to. I love to sleep. Sleep makes Jessie a happy girl.

My plans for tonight: Test the efficiency of the chewable ginger-flavoured non-drowsy gravol. I bought these disgusting little things for work because I get really car sick (or train sick actually) when I'm going on a night ride. P.S. These things are nasty- don't buy them!

My plans for tomorrow: Think about washing my truck because she's a dirty little whore. I don't know if I'll actually get around to doing it, but it's all good because I have other things to do... Like listen to the new music Adam put on my ipod.

I have this new pet peeve: When idiot drivers flash their lights at me for no reason. It only happens at night. I was always under the impression that you only flash other drivers when a) they have their high beams on in your face or b) to warn someone that there's a cop hidden around the corner and they should slow down. But neither of those things ever apply... So what gives?

A Strange Place Indeed

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

Richard Mayhew is a plain man with a good heart- and an ordinary life that is changed forever on a day he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. From that moment forward he is propelled into a world he never dreamed existed- a dark subculture flourishing in abandoned subway stations and sewer tunnels below the city- a world far stranger and more dangerous than the only one he has ever known...

Grade: B+

Dangers of Carbon Capture and Storage

David Suzuki posted a really interesting article on his website about the government's idea for their climate change plans. It doesn't sound like such a great plan to me though... Carbon capture and storage is a brutal plan, actually. Pumping CO2 into the ground and just leaving the gas there is obviously going to screw with our health, the soil's health, the planet's health, etc. I can't believe how many stupid idiots there are in this world. It actually makes me really, really mad when I think about it. Instead of spending all that money doing something that is so obviously moronic, why don't they use the money to research what effects the CO2 being stored under the Earth's surface could possibly have before just going ahead and doing it and finding out later that it wasn't such a good idea in the first place, or spend some of that money on renewable energy. Eventually we're going to run out of fossil fuels so why not start weaning off of it now and try to conserve what precious resources we have left on the planet?
