Yeah, who would have guessed I'd be the one to start another of these... astonishing, huh?

Anyway, to business...

Singers who insist on showing off their vocal gymnastics when singing live - does anyone actually enjoy that shit? Just sing the goddamn tune!

I'm looking at you, Jessie J! And this is the look I'm using --->

And the way they lift their hand up and down to show the note escalation is VERY annoying.

I've yet to hear a professional singer attempting the (US) National Anthem without "modifying" the song to show off their vocal skills. Never mind the fact that some of them end up forgetting the lyrics (you know who you are, Christina Aguilera!!), the National Anthem is difficult enough to sing without adding the histrionics that some of these performers feel obliged to do.

Bring back Kate Smith, I say!

I hate Jessie J for a myriad of reasons, this is a minor one, but still the hallmark of somebody who has failed to grasp what vocal talent is and what it is to deliver a performance.

Wait, am I doing it wrong?

Oh right - bitchING, not bitchin'. Got it.


Mass Effect 3's ending was sub par. Boo.

I did long (0700-2230) day at work yesterday.

The person meant to be on long day today 'forgot', left the building and then ignored his page and mobile phone.

I was grumpy and full of righteous rage, but then I got a hug from a month old baby. Babies have the ability to ooze antidepressant pheromones.

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Just in general.

I'm tired of everyone lying to me and betraying me and abandoning me.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

I think only Whitney Houston in her prime could do that without sounding contrived.

What's the deal with Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine!

it also tastes like shit.



just did a search for several books at my school library, of which they have none. oh, but they do have about 15 copies of 40 shades of grey. annoying!

Every office should have an office baby, for hugging. Of course, if it cries it gets fired.

I elluded to some cunts revving their cars unnessecarily in a situation report thread. Things didn't get any better revving turned into driving cars really fast up and down the street, accompanied by the occasional tire squeal as hand brake turns were used. Just when we thought it had all stopped the cunts must have had an argument and it had something to do with Jack. How do I know? They spent the next twenty minutes having more, and very loud, arguments in the street and shouting to and at Jack. By this point it was about twenty passed 11, Helen was trying to put Logan down for the night and I was fuming. So next shout from them got a replying shout of "Shut the fuck up!" from out of the bedroom window. It worked!

random thought: this post has reminded me how often people use the c word in Game of Thrones.


ps- you'll probably get stabbed in your sleep tonight. might want to lock the windows.

I actually thought we were having our wall graffiti'd (in a "fuc u! Mat woz ere" way, not the cool art way) last night as revenge, turns out it was just two hedgehogs snuffling round the garden!

Why do organisations like the Met Office bother with long-range weather forecasts? And by long-range, I mean all of 5 days ahead. By the time it gets to the actual day, their "predictions" have changed half a dozen times anyway.

Looking out my office window on Seventh Avenue, I just saw a guy park his car dead center in a space that is clearly large enough for two cars to fit comfortably. This is a pet peeve of mine, I guess, particularly since street parking is hard enough to come by in Manhattan on weekdays, and parking in a public garage is expensive even for 30 minutes. If there is any justice in the world, other drivers will bang the shit out of this moron's bumpers while trying to squeeze in behind or in front of him.

Ah, Wednesdays....

[Steve Sensible]

Go and put one of these on his car...

Not quite sure where to post this but since I had to run around yesterday getting my car into storage to avoid hail damage I'll post it here. The whole city was frantic yesterday trying to hide anything that people didn't want destroyed in the storm. And if you watch Stormchasers you would've seen my city last night!

This was taken from my balcony. This is the aftermath of the meanest looking storm I've ever seen. Only lasted about a half hour but it did a lot of damage. Crazy lookin clouds.

[Robert B]

I've never seen anything like that (the clouds). Insane.

This is pretty much what everyone has been saying. If you use Instagram and check the #Regina hashtag you will see a ton of crazy photos. Some of the ones with a larger view are pretty insane. I wish I had driven to the outskirts of town to get some shots.

Here's some of the hail that hit down in Alberta:



Here's one from farther back:
