Man am I stressed.  So much homework and so much other stuff to do that I really don’t get a minute to figure things out.  I had a cold a few days ago and it left in a hurry.  I’m probably too messed up to even get a cold.  Hey look at this, hand sanitizer.  If I know one way to make stress go away and put a smile on my face it’s a good squirt of hand sanitizer.  *Squirt, squirt, rubs hands together vigorously as instructed by the sanitizer machine*.  So am I happy now, is all the stress gone away?  Hmmmm, well I have learnt about a plethora of paper cuts on my fingers, and what could be more relaxing than searing pain through your fingertips and knuckles.  Sunny days are here my friend.

How’s it going?  It looks like I score because you got room for me.  In fact you’re completely empty, why would that be?  *I sit* I see, you’re not very comfortable, so no one likes you.  So instead of serving a purpose like being a wall or a sidewalk some creative engineer thought it would be clever to turn you into a bench that no one likes.  I’ll still be your friend little bench but no more touching ok?

Just got my flu shot yesterday, I know people who’ve caught the H1N1 and it was horrible for them, and it sucks that it has adversely affected so many people.  However if I had to pull one positive thing about this whole ordeal it would be that without H1N1 this awesome poster would have never been made.

If you happen to live in Ottawa stop by my buddy Dane’s art show this month at the Patrick John Mills Gallery.  His stuff is great, gross, and contains real human remains.  It’s good times for all.

Let me explain, you see “Zombie Snow” is not the snow of the un-dead, as cool as that might sound.  Zombie Snow is a light snow that just doesn’t stop and eventually accumulates into many feet of snow.  I call it Zombie Snow because much like a Zombie it appears easy to deal with at first (zombies seem slow and kind of falling apart/light snow is easy to shovel).  The problem with zombies is they just never stop and no matter what you do they just keep coming no matter how far you run or where you hide eventually they’ll get you.  Zombie Snow although being a light snowfall never stops and eventually you find yourself outside for hours trying to clear the 3 feet of snow off of the driveway.  (On a separate note I want to make a zombie movie some day with zombies that just can’t be beat, I’m sick of there always being a way it ruins the coolness that is zombies.)

This isn’t the first time I’ve complained to you, or at the very least people with your job description and it probably won’t be the last either.  This morning, on my way to school, I turned on the weather report to hear that there was a chance of flurries in the forecast for today.  I looked outside and it was in fact flurring at that very moment.  Now I would say that there is a 100% chance of flurries today and a 100% chance that you do not have a window in your office (that seems strange for a weather man).  I also understand that “flurries” are in fact smatterings of snow that start and stop all day long, similar to scattered showers.  Now it’s been about 5 hours since I got up and I have to tell you that the snow has not stopped at all, so wouldn’t it just be snow?  I’m very happy that you chose a career in meteorology where one is allowed to be totally wrong at any given point and I’m glad you didn’t get into medicine.

An actual quote I heard while walking downtown tonight:

“But cotton balls are different.  If a clown touches you, it doesn’t feel creepy.”

Please explain this context.

Whenever I’m sick I crave a turkey TV dinner.  I’m sick of studying so I figure I’d treat myself.

I always thought we were friends.  I always thought you enjoyed hanging out seeing things and general goofball type behaviour.  We shared so much together from our punk rock days to our decision to join improv.  It’s been a whirlwind time but now it appears that you don’t want to be around anymore.  The guys on top seem to have found a way to bail out and are now ridding down the drain and clogging my shower drain.  The rest of you appear to be making a run for it but you never seem to pick the same direction and that frankly makes us all look silly.  I understand that I’m getting old and maybe I’m not as fun as I used to be but really if you’re going to jump ship please make a consensuses and jump the same direction.

I just thought I’d warn all of my loved ones that I’m living on the edge today.  I just finished my second exam and my third is happening tomorrow so I’m burning out just right.  I’ve decided that I should live a little between these two exam sessions and I’ve decided to go with the “Cheetos Crunchy”, most notably because they are “Dangerously Cheesy”.
