It's like they know my LIFE

mr_weasel and I always find this Onion article particularly enjoyable.

Him working the world's highest paid retail job, and me being named Justin.

A repetition of the official Bitter Guy policy on Avril Lavigne

You know, I'm not one to comment on Music. It is... Beyond me. I can listen to music, and my reaction is either "Ah! A beat, and you can dance to it! I give it a 97!", or "Ah! No beat! Still, catchy. Another 97!", OR "Fuck it, I'm tired."

But, however, I still give props to Avril because she's forcing media people (well, primarily newspapers) to comprehend the glory that is... Napanee.

She was wearing an 'effing Home Hardware t-shirt on SNL last night.

That, and everyone hates her.

p.s. No, I would rather NOT listen to Sk8ter Boi ever again.

p.p.s. Either one of my brothers OR pyat mentioned a while back that it's likely that, in the post Avril world, I'll never be the most famous person from Napanee. My reply? "Not if I kill a LOT of people."

The world just tingles sometimes. Maybe it's a sense of wonder and anticipation, maybe it's one of these.

Or maybe it's the sugar in my tea.

The Templars are at it again!

Of course, if I lost the mummified head of Christ, I'd feel like a bit of a tool too.

Edit: July 30, 2005: The link is dead, but that's hardly a surprise. I cannot recall what it was about.

The Twilight of Ontario Gaming Cons (winter edition)

It kind of sucks, but Ontario used to have two really good mid winter gaming cons; you had Panda in TO and RedCon in Kingston.

Panda I never really attended, but RedCon rocked. It was put on by at RMC (Royal Military College, for the vast majority of you who aren't me) by their game club.

Let me tell you, until you've attended a gaming con at the nation's military academy, you've never lived. Just remembering the main gaming room, with the dealers on the overhead balcony area, and the divider separated gaming regions... It was great.

Of course, it was the site of my Worst Game Ever (yes, Brad, worse than the Champions game). But it was also the first place that I ever attended a con. Hell, it was the first place Dave Pulver gave me the great Game Writer's advice: "have someone else in the family who earns the main income."

Anyway, as I've probably said before, RedCon died when they lost the RMC strategy club (the early 90s were the twilight of great Strat clubs. Allow me to tell you about CUSC, which was half of my major in university). There were attempts to revive it as RoyalCon at Queens, but that kind of petered out.

And now Panda is valiantly attempting to soldier on after it hit the angst wall and sold out to the Realmsquest people. Dunno. It might be cool.

Damn. I miss it.
