As usual, I'm feeling very linky. You need not follow all the links, but it will make me immensely happy if you do.

In Sandy Hill (the area of Ottawa where I reside) there are many old folks homes. This results in an increased amount of ambulance traffic.

Tony told me this funny story, which I will paraphrase for you.
In grade 9 science, there was a kid who beleived that he was intelligent, when in reality he was (and is) quite the opposite. So when the teacher asked for an explanation of what "matter" was, he said: "Humans like us are matter, while things like this desk (knocks on desk for effect) are anti-matter."

St. Patrick's Day is over. It was the only day where it was appropriate to propagate a negative stereotype about a group of people. In fact, they encouraged it!

The Stroke's new album is almost complete.
