I went for a dental exam yesterday. They had televisions in the ceiling! How awesome.
They also told me that I grind my teeth and I should consider a night guard. What! I am not intending on wearing a mouth guard at night. That'd be losing a lot of my hard earned coolness in one fell swoop.
I am not the Fine Physical Specimen I once was

They say that males peak (from a physical standpoint) in their late teens.
I really hope this isn't true.
I gotta say though, I seem to feel stiffer and more achy nowadays. Like, you always hear how you're supposed to lift with your legs and not your back? Well, now, those tips are really starting to matter.
I reckon this is a sign that I should start taking better care of myself and whatnot. I wonder whether I should get into this yoga business everyone is so excited about. My Mom is a yogi! True story.
Either way, I think it'd be a good goal to try and get into the best shape of my life. It's kinda sad when I realize that that's not really that much of a challenge for me. I've spent all my life in a state of neglectful skinniness. Any fitness would be a step up. Maybe I should try and get muscly and what not. Wouldn't that be something?

I did a licencing exam yesterday morning. It went alright I think. It's been awhile since I did an exam. I forgot about the sense of accomplishment that one gets after finishing an exam. There is also the sense that you've earned the rest of the day off. It's really quite nice, because you can spend the rest of the day/week puttering around and not feel guilty about it.
So after the exam, I went to play a couple hours of guilt free road hockey! It's just as good as I remember. Oh how I love road hockey.
I also had volleyball last night. My team won our division! I got a t-shirt.
In conclusion, I am a sporting superstar.

On my way to work, I pass a car with a bumper sticker that says "My Other Car is a Pynchon Novel".
I don't get it. What's it mean???

I was contemplating a purchase recently when it came to my attention
that the item in question cost 44 dollars .
that the item in question cost 44 dollars .
I must admit that this fact did indeed contribute to my eventual
decision to forgo the purchase.
At this juncture, I will spare you all a discussion regarding the
algorithm and thought process which guides my consumerism. Another
talk for another time.
Rather, I'm somewhat concerned that a dedicated rationalist such as
myself should choose to be influenced by such things as numerology.
It hardly matters when it comes to piddling matters like whether or
not I'll buy a certain sweater or not. But what if it creeps into
more significant decisions I may be called on to make?
How was Thanksgiving for everyone?
I spent it on Thetis Island. It's a tiny little island off of Vancouver Island. My friend's father has a cottage there. Actually, maybe cottage isn't the right word. It did after all, have an 8 person hot tub.
We actually went around the dinner table and talked about what we were thankful for. Apparently, some people do this every Thanksgiving. Anyways, to summarize: "Hooray for family and friends!!!"
The other notable thing about Thanksgiving dinner? Our host had prepared TWO turkeys! So great! On an unrelated note, I've decided that I'd like to change my reputation of being some sort of human garburator. (side note: Apparently, one of my friends was talking to someone at our place of work. When my name came up, the other person said, "Oh yeah, isn't he the guy who eats everything?" This is not cool.) Anyways, step one would be for me to stop going to buffets with people. I was told that my appetite would decrease once I left adolesence. This has proved to be untrue. My ability to destroy a buffet remains very much intact, a fact which astounded my fellow diners at the buffet on the ferry to Vancouver Island.
To summarize.
1. I need to eat more discreetly.
2. I need to go to buffets by myself.
Other highlights from the cottage included ocean kayaking, hot tubbing, hiking and croquet. I'm surprised I haven't discovered croquet before this. It's grrrrrreat!
I hope everyone voted. I lived in one of those highly contested ridings. The most recent election separated winner and loser by 150 votes! It was quite exciting to vote and realize that it actually could make a difference.
In other news, I've finally bought some snowpants! I've been on a hunt for.. well for a long time. They are super. I'm so pleased. Three cheers for craigslist!

So I was working with someone today who had a grandson named Simon Chan.
Within two minutes of meeting him, he was pulling up photos of this kid on his computer.
Flake crashed at my house yesterday. He left to go to the airport before I woke up. He's a lot like I remember from high school, only with more facial hair.
I'm emailing this post to my blog. How cool is that?
