Ranting about how the computers were taking over and we were becoming docile slaves to the government, who is controlling us with iPods... Check out the video HERE
As Mr. Bill Cosby likes to say, "Those of you with children, you understand."
So, last night me and my child had to do a worksheet. Why me? Because if I leave my child without supervision, the worksheet won't be done by July. Again, those of you with children, you understand. Unless I sit over him (literally, because I sit on the desk) and repeat, approximately once half a minute, "Erase this and write it properly," and "GIT GOIN! Write!" nothing will get done.
Last night's worksheet involved talking about a book, and since my child now only (ok, mainly) reads Star Wars books, and Obi Wan figures in them a lot, I had me a Jedi on my mind. And to prevent me from strangling a minor, I started sketching. I only had a pen and scrap paper, so it's a VERY rough sketch, but I wanted to show it as an excuse to talk about how ARGH frustrating the oft-mentioned child is.
He writes "o" instead of "a", for example. I tell him, "Erase, it has to be "a"." He erases and writes "o" again. I tell him, "Duuuude, WHAT did I say?" He looks down, stares, staaaaaares, staaaaaaaares, goes, "AOOWWW, MAAAAAN!" and bangs his head on the desk.
I'm not kidding.
I say, "Just correct it!" He erases "o" and writes "b". I mentally go, "WTF?" but aloud I say, "DUDE!" He looks at me like a mouse looks at a more sadistic cat and does, "Whaaat..." I go, "Look at what you wrote." He looks and goes, "AOOOWWW, MAAAAAN!" I bark, "No banging head!" He looks at me like I'm not only especially sadistic, but also a pervert.
No, I understand, banging one's head on the desk must be an important part of homework process, but I draw a line at bodily harm.
And because he has to argue with me a lot, the bloody homework takes us about 3 times as long as it should. Then he freaks out that he doesn't have time to play... Dur.

Check your shoulder, not because you're scared but because you look behind you the prepare you for whats ahead. History repeats itself, if you want to see and use the future, look and learn from the past. The past may be scary or uncomfortable, but it makes us who we are...without our loved ones, enemies, good times and bad times...we might not be here. You might not be reading this.
Slow down and relax...Life is good.

The mysterious "eneco ranter" (that's my working name for this anonymous person). One of the last inscriptions I found. His graffiti was intelligent, poetic and mysterious. More here:
For those of you who have not had the pleasure of travelling on the vehicle deck of a BC ferry with your dog, let me just tell you now - it sucks. On this particular vessel, the dog corral was not even enclosed so the wind came blowing in, flecked with salty water drops coming in from the ocean. Add to this the fact that it was around 10C when we boarded and the bench that we are sitting on is made of metal. Nice. We could have DRIVEN on to the ferry, but in an effort to use the car less, this is how we are rewarded.
We tried our very best to zone out with the iPod and some Neko Case .
Rant Night ……Trista Vincent with Dec Byrne and Gavin Eiffe from RMG at the iapi Rant Night in the Sugar Club.
i'm tired.
so, i've decided to take a break from anything other than school work, which unfortunately includes flickr-ing and blogging.
let's hope i get back soon enough.
I had a perfectly in-focus and beautifully exposed shot of this very significant barrel of bourbon. This is Heaven Hill's 5,500,000th barrel. Except I deleted it. WHY? Because Windows sucks. You can't just click back and forth from place to place easily. You have to click...then click again, the right amount of seconds later to actually get things to happen in the window where you just clicked. I clicked on this shitty image, to delete it, while the beautiful image was open on my desktop. But I didn't click twice. Oh no. And my beautiful image is gone forever. Thank you, f-ing Windows. Did I mention it crashes Flicker Uploader every 2-3 minutes?
