  1. This paper I have to finish is preventing me from masturbating.
  2. Jeeeeeesus H! That's some hyperhidrosis right there!!
  3. lol a clear sign that you don't live in America. Over here they'd be all "Helloooooo Mr. Lawsuit"
  4. lol what the fuck. Ridiculous.
  5. Mancini has said Tevez will never play for him again. What's the deal with Joe Hart?
  6. This guy sitting next to me hasn't turned off the beep sound when he presses keys on his phone. It's driving me fucking mental.
  7. If it's not Helvetica, it's not worth printing! /fontsnob

    I'm just commenting on the fact that you immediately dismiss them as clowns because they write op-ed columns. Personally I think anyone who can be serious about being a marxist nowadays is a clown, but then again I'm not an economist and I don't even play one on TV.
  10. I have to write several papers for this security studies class and the prof insists on Times New Roman. How boorish.

    It's good that you can dismiss criticisms so easily. Smetty - that MacMillan book argues that there isn't a clear line that can be drawn between the Paris Peace Conference and WW2. I'll take a look at the Morton book after the schol year (I'm a sucker for historical fiction).

    Violence (Slavoj Zizek) It bothers me that I wasted so much time reading lifestyle articles and opinion pieces by clowns instead of going to the source itself. What does that even mean? Anyways currently reading: A really interesting look at the processes and people who changed the way we do international relations.

    Or maybe it's just that implementations of Marxist theory so far have been really shit? Capitalism has its good points as well as its bad points. Anyways - just finished reading B.R. Myers - The Cleanest Race I can't believe that this guy is a professor of International Relations (plus he doesn't know how to cite shit properly). The book has some interesting insight into how the North Korean propaganda machine works, but Myers seems very blinkered to the fact that his own precious US uses propaganda. He has no real knowledge of how IR actually works, and seems to think that he alone has finally penetrated the machinations of the north, and everyone else is wrong. He picks and chooses parts of quotes to fit his theory. So yeah uh, can't really recommend it, if you do read it, take a lot of the information and theories with a grain of salt.
  14. Have you thought about IEMs/canalphones? Sorry, I should be clearer in my choice of words - the Sonys and the Klipsch were actually IEMs. I liked them in terms of sound quality (the first pair of Sony were especially nice, but that was when I was making money), it's just that they always break at the jack.
  15. I've gone through two pairs of sony earbuds, and one pair of klipsch. The standard iPod earbuds don't stay in my ear very well. I'm holding out until I can aford some proper headphones in the hopes that their cord might be a bit stronger. I would use my AKGs, but of course the right headphone doesn't work and anyways they're semi-open.
  16. Blame canada. Additionally, I am without headphones/earbuds for my iPod and can't afford new ones. They all break on the jack - wires are so goddamn flimsy. Now I'll to suffer on the bus listening to the peasant scum discuss their day-to-day dealings.
  17. I came from Korea where I had a 100Mb connection for 20 bucks a month. Came back to Canada to a shitty 1Mb connection. Upgraded to a 7Mb connection, which never came close to hitting that download speed. Now am supposedly on a 50Mb connection - last speed test gave me 1.5Mb average download speed - and that's at the ISP's own speed test! FML
  18. lol, that sounds about right. I bet you could get faster internet living in some third world backwater.
  19. How to score an own goal with style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imvxmwMqRtE
  20. Our internet provider sent a new Cisco modem/router since we upgraded to the 50 Mbps package. Download speeds are slower than before.

    Ah I see. Yes, his stories are fairly similar - but I like his writing style. Easy to enjoy. Good page turners, better than Grisham or Brown or what have you.

    I loved Anathem in an unhealthy sort of way. Neal's new one is out in 15 days; is being hyped as a "straightforward" "thriller." Yeah "Anathem" was great - really really enjoyable. I liked that the theme of the book was knowledge and our perception and acquisition of knowledge. I doubt I'll have time to read his new one until next summer. :( At least it should be available at the library by then (as in not on hold or checked out) New Murakami!!! Awesome Palahniuk is usually good, you should check him out. Although I still haven't read "Fight Club" lol.

    Just finished reading "Anathem" - Neal Stephenson. Started up "In Search of Canadian Political Culture" - Nelson Wiseman. Since I feel like I know nothing about Canadian political culture. 2 days left of reading for myself - then it's on to school books.
  24. The only one I loled at was Ronnie O' Sullivan.
