More randomness.

Damn it's COLD.
It's been really cold out the last few days. Snow has fallen, winds have blown and it keeps getting colder. I've decided that I've had enough of winter for now, so it can go away. I'm ready for some warmer weather, open windows and being able to hang out in my backyard. So come on spring, I'm ready for you!

Rick Mercer.
I've been watching more of his show lately and he's crazy. CRAZY. Ive seen him in a car derby, racing cars on ice, jumping naked into some ICE cold water, and doing some synchronized swimming with the Canadian Olympic team. He's crazy. Just thought I'd share that with you all.

Stranger in a strange land.
I just finished reading this book by Robert A. Heinlein and I must admit, I was disappointed. It was horribly sexist, boring and drags on without anything interesting going on. Some guy was raised on mars and no one pelts him with questions about how he was raised, what the martians are like or anything? How boring. I expected so much more from it. Now it's onto Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. So far it's not bad, so I hope it continues on that way.

Random things I've read about lately.
