2004 is going to be an exciting year. Why, you ask? In 2004 Hurricane Matthew will be wreaking havoc on the world. Apparently, hurricane names are decided several years in advance, and 2004 is the year Matthew takes out the trash! Sadly, hurricane steve/rob will not be appearing until at least 2005.

For more Radiohead stuff, check out www.spin.com. You can read the excellent article on Radiohead which appeared in this month’s issue of Spin, read correspondence between Thom and the interviewer which didn’t make the article, and check out a blip exclusive to Spin. I’m sure there is other stuff too.

I have now whored myself out to mainstream media. You see what you people make me do?

FlexNet does not have time to deal with morons. If only the rest of the world could be so honest.

Wearing a suit will not affect your ability to think clearly or coherently. It may impair these functions.

Your very existence is preposterous. You are not a business-person, you are a farce.

Behind your back, people are laughing at you. Many people do not even wait until your back is turned.

You have accomplished nothing here. No one is surprised.

Enjoy your stay at Softworld.

I recommend reading “First in a Series of Sex Stories That Lose Their Way.” Do not be intimidated by the long title, as the story itself is not particularily long. Also do not be intimidated by the fact that the story contains sex. Unless you are my grandmother, you will not be offended. If you are my grandmother, I promise to write soon. Sorry.

Isn’t it odd how some Canadians get more involved and excited in the American elections than they do in their own? Some sort of political penis envy, no doubt.

Speaking of Americans and phallic imagery, check out www.ProtectAmericansNow.com. Propagandist ads and a zipcode specific report of how vulnerable you may be to missile attack: interactive and fun! Building a missile defense system to start up a new arms race – the very pinacle of safety itself! Not that the United States has any legitimacy in this area to begin with as it can’t even overcome partisan politics to approve a nuclear test ban treaty.

Hope the wind isn’t blowing northwards when the bombs start to drop.

It has been brought to my attention that my online persona needs some work. Apparently I am not sufficiently sensitive or compasionate and come across as a sarcastic, and inconsiderate jerk who taunts his readers while continually bitching about the world and occasionally hitting on attractive Olympic atheletes.

Let in be known that I too have feelings. Why, just this evenings I almost cried watching the standing ovation received by the now retired Wendel Clark. There were tears in my eyes. Honest. Swear to God.

See, I can admit to an actual emotion without being ironic or sarcastic.

Read the title a couple more times. You are so jealous. In related news, Radiohead will be appearing in Canada. I will not tell you where or when, or how to get tickets, until I have tickets safetly within my greedy little fingers.

Pierre Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada, has died at age 80. Somehow, the Americans think his story is all about them.

A continuation of the reasoning behind my lack of sleep.

Waterborne Women Defeated
The women’s waterpolo team was elminated from medal contention, finishing a disappointing fifth, after losing to the impressive Australian team.
Joanne Malar (pictured at right) and Marianne Limpert failed to medal, finishing fifth and fourth respectively in the 200 IM. I note that Mrs. Malar has yet to send me an email, and while I would like to post my phone number, it may not be a brilliant idea, what with all the wierd stalkers out there in cyberspace.

The Tick Fights for Justice
While perhaps more accurately described as a children’s cartoon show, and not a part of the Olympics at all, The Tick is nonetheless a fine television show. Any show in which the main villian is named “chair-face” is cool with me.

Synchronized Diving is a Foolish Sport
See title.

Americans are (Allegedly) a Bunch of Cheating Bastards
Countries regularly do independant testing of their atheletes. If the atheletes test positive for a banned substance, they are to be reported to the IAAF (International Amateur Athletic Foundation). Apparently, the States have not been doing this. America=Satan.
