So, here's the link. Here, I mean. There's one on the side too, so stop on by. Of course, if it sucks, I'll be back here. http://yggdrasil.blogdrive.com/comments?id=258 http://yggdrasil.blogdrive.com/archive/257.html Thu, 21 Jul 2005 19:53:35 GMT A couple of days ago, (3?) I found myself watching the Batman movie; the old one starring Adam West. Suddenly, I found that I understood virtually everything about it. I know what the creators were thinking when they made/ designed the show. I knew what each actor had been selected for. The show suddenly made sense! So, here it is. The creators: The creators of this series HATED the Batman comics. They would read the comics and call Batman constantly. "Oh man, so he's got his own plane? I bet he's got his own space shuttle too.", one would say. "No man," the other would rejoin, "he's...

(Tintin, Asterix, you're off the hook in both senses of the phrase) It sucks. I'm nearly certain you've encountered this trash in the past. Classical atrocities such as "Albert the 5th Musketeer", "Robinson Sucroe" and modern travesties like "Kid Paddle" and "The Tofus" ring a bell? For your sake, I pray not, but for the sake of this entry, of course they do. I remember Jon breaking down how Matthew Cheung looked like a French-Canadian cartoon character. Classic, and really...

My blog has probably never gone this long without an update. Well, VSmack's got a new blog over at LiveJournal, though I'm not sure if that's the definitive article yet, so the link remains unaltered. Work is pretty sweet, as far as work goes. I'm a reg'lar cashier, but I also tell the other cashiers what to do, so that's decent. It's definitely not a career I'd pursue (no way, eh?) but for summer work, it's the best I've had so far. Hmm, what else? Despite the long break, it's been mostly the same stuff. Work, music, friends, etc. Though, of course, there is...

Here they are. Statistics for Psychology II Psychology Research Laboratory I Introduction to Developmental Psychology Introduction to Abnormal Psychology The Human Brain Memory and Cognition Clinical Neuropsychology Laboratory Scientific Communication in Psychology Environmental Hazards Mammalian Physiology. 80% of my courses are psych; pretty astonishing, but then, I'm pretty good at it. Also, I got my Salvia clone yesterday. According to the interesting Polish fellow that sold it to me, the plants don't heal from injuries. They just...

I think you already know, but I'm on cash rather than produce now, still shift manager, so that's actually better for me, since I don't need to get my hands wet and cold and hear that horrific squeaking noise all the time. Man, CBC Radio One is practically all I listen to, but they have some really whack shit on there, very frequently. Right now, there's this person singing who, honestly, sounds like an eight year old with their mouth full singing some trash about fairies or something accompanied only by an autoharp and an incompetent percussionist on, I think, a...

It turned out mein vader wanted to see the concert too, so we drove up. We got around to the HVM signing and after waiting in line for a while, I got up to the table to meet the guys. (Of course, only Trewavas, Rothery and Hogarth were there, but that's more than good enough.) I'm sure I didn't say anything too interesting to them; I was mildly befuddled and am not the sort to rehearse an address. I do remember that I said that I was "very glad to meet you all" which I thought was very sincere and kind of sweet. H really struck me with his interest and...

I'm going with my Dad for a Father's Day thing. He's not really down, per se, with Marillion, but he likes the music so it will not be unenjoyable or lost on him. I think we're going to do it with no sleeps. Once again, I'm glad to be going. I hope to meet Mr. H and the crew and maybe get my pre-order Marbles signed. Also, I got my PSP today, with Lumines. That game and moreover that system is fantastic. I really hope they play this system to it's full potential. GPS, internet access, wireless file sharing. Man....

It's spacious, yet with normal sized furniture. I know it wasn't a real restaurant, but, man, it was really lame, for serious. The bit where Chappele yells through the microphone is very very funny, and also convincing. It could be a real song! Also, the "eyes-rolled-back-semi-robot-guy is awesome". I am now convinced of the sheer power of cinematography! When they go in the barbershop and are filming the people getting their haircut, they do a really close shot, which, of...

I think it's the most shocking thing ever seen on this or any other blog. Maybe, though, it's that everyone was at a loss for words. I certainly was. I really, even now, barely know what to say about it. So, it's on, biatch! The trip to Montreal, that is. I have my ticket, which must be picked up at the box office and my train ticket has been reserved. This will be great. I'm glad I'll finally have seen Marillion, and maybe met them at HMV? Not a lot to say. So! http://yggdrasil.blogdrive.com/comments?id=249
