The seven worst fonts and those who use them.

Shhh! Top Secret.

For those who have ever wanted to see Vincent Gallo dressed in woman’s clothing, the wait is over.

Honestly, there isn’t a word in the English language that can even remotely describe this.

I busted four nuts watching this episode of South Park that pokes fun at World of Warcraft.

Relive all your childhood memories but slower and without a controller.

With all the bullshit going on in the world scale, I tend to forget about politics at home.

The Alberta leadership race is underway to determine the next leader of the province. My choice is Jim Dinning as I’ve always preferred economists over lawyers. I have other reasons as well.

During the last leadership race in Alberta back in 1992 a few friends and I decided to drive on a whim to Edmonton with more-or-less a stranger who had the entire Grateful Dead discography playing in his multi-disc CD player in his car. Anyways, once in Edmonton we faced the question of what to do. Somehow (I still don’t recall the circumstances) we ended up at the leadership convention that was going on that night. I called a friend and told her to meet us down there ASAP as there was lots of fun going on.

We tried to enter but were turned away as none of us were members of the provincial Conservatives. Somehow MLA at the time Jim Dinning saw what was going on offered to sign us up as members using money out of his own wallet. We of course took him up on that offer. In retrospect, this is probably some sort of conflict of interest or really shady at the least.

I remember going in and seeing orange balloons and large TV screens. It occurred to me seconds after that my parents still thought I was back in Calgary sleeping over at a friends house. They were most likely watching this on the news and that if the camera happened to turn my way I’d be busted.

Well it looks like North Korea has successfully tested a nuclear weapon and Kim Jong-Il is high-fiving his colleagues and happy that he’s a big shot on the world scale now. Japan obviously is taking notice as the hate-on that both North and South Korea have had since the occupation has made the generational gap.

I read an article last month in The Atlantic about what will happen in the vacuum of North Korea once the Kim Jong Il dies. Personally, I thought the article was especially premature given today’s events because if he’s like his dad he’ll be there to the bitter end. The writing’s not even on the wall yet.

Like I need another reason to use my credit card. A new day. A new deal on their front page.

I watched Dennis Miller’s appearance on The Daily Show a few days ago when I wasn’t able to fall asleep. It’s one of the more funnier things I’ve seen on that show. Typical of his comedy though, some of his references went way over my head.
