  1. I just watched the 20th anniversary Simpsons special and it makes me want to start watching the show on a regular basis again. I keep forgetting how much of a huge impact it's had. Fuck the haters.

  2. im halfway through 'of course you end up becoming yourself' just to finish of my david foster wallace binge.

    how was it? I'm taking another shot at Infinite Jest, but it's strange that I have to force myself since the rest of Wallace's work has been pretty good to me. I saw this in Chapters last time I was in town and really wanted to pick it up.

  3. my logic was, with the rest of the peeps coming soon, i wouldn't be alone with him for very long. that and i really didn't plan on that level of creep.

    that all being said, i didn't end up sick from sitting outside for so long, and even though it was uncomfortable, i recognized it was a funny damn story. we all laughed about it at lunch the next day.

  4. dumbasses who don't understand what to do when an ambulance is coming. this woman stayed in the left hand lane even though everybody[/i] around her had moved over. she slowly rolls to a stop and just sits in front of the ambulance. lights and horn are on, and she starts to slowly roll... straight. finally the ambulance hauls ass around her and she tails it as close as possible.

    it's not surprising in the least that our country has some of the worst, clueless drivers.

  5. this weekend was bust. went to a shitty bar for a friend's birthday, almost got into a fight there, and when we were leaving, I ran into this old coworker and her gay dude coworker. Her and I went on a few dates last summer, and she insisted I go back to her place with them and party with her friends and roommates who were meeting up there.

    I go, and 15min after we arrive, she announces she's tired and heads to bed. Her friend proceeds to make really uncomfortable passes at me, and when I tell him to back off and I don't play for that team, he actually tells me "no, you're not straight". His logic was because I knew of the most popular gay bar in my town, that I must be gay. Kept making drinks and trying to feed them to me, telling me to take off my jacket and relax, so fucking uncomfortable. The girl told me I could sleep on the couch but with this guy I wasn't about to stick around.

    Her roommate and bf come in to a stranger putting dishes away in their kitchen (me), and her roommate says that I and the creeper must roll because they're all going to bed. I told her I was offered the couch, and now the original group I was out with are all asleep so I'm kinda stuck. She says it's cool, and then he decides he's staying too, just on the floor. He starts turning all the lights off and I dip.

    Since it's now 4am and my friend's house is almost a 30min walk away, I wait in the stairwell to stay warm. A while passes and the guy opens up the door to head out for food or something. He starts telling me to come back inside. I say I'm waiting for a friend and then I'll be going. He keeps suggesting I stay and I walk out onto the street. A minute later I hear him calling my name. He fucking follows me almost all the way back to my friend's place, trying to stop me, or turn me around, or keeps calling me "restrictive". I eventually told him to fuck off and leave me alone and thank god he got the hint. This guy reinforced all the worst stereotypes, and I've never felt so uncomfortable and creeped out.

    Oh, and then I spent 2 hours sitting out on a porch in near-0 temperatures because nobody would pick up the phone. amazingly I've got no signs of sickness today, or exhaustion from the 3 hours of sleep.

    So uh, confession: I regret not punching the dude in the face for being such a persistent, creepy little fucker. Apparently a solid "no" isn't enough.

  6. i know it's incredibly obvious, but it doesn't make the following any less true; midtown is an utterly, utterly shitty excuse for a bar. fuck everything about that place. but it was the birthday girl's decision.

    i need a job hookup in toronto, been papering the usual areas the past 2 weekends.

  7. I had the thai one last week; pretty good, better than expected anyways. i don't normally eat mayo and didn't expect it to be on something with tangy thai sauce, but whatever. buns were fresh.

    arby's possibly has the best chicken fingers of all the fast food joints. and the best bacon.

  8. iron man does indeed look like it'll be fun. after spiderman and x-men both turned to shit with their number 3's, downey and co are probably the best marvel franchise going right now.

    i want the a-team to be good, but i have the sneaking suspicion it might end up as this year's gi joe :(

  9. went to get a haircut and the girl who did it just right last time wasn't there. but the girl I did get looked like a Zooey Deschanel x Reese Witherspoon blend, with dark red hair a bit past her shoulders. she was super cute and I got a lot of good vibes, but I still have this belief asking for someone's number at their place of employment is kinda creepy.

    ...had to stifle a laugh when she said "i wanna put my fingers in it all day" about my hair.

  10. I think you are right, my dude. I mean, Lookbook is pretty much an exercise in advanced photographic deception. You can tell that she ain't that hot by the difference you see in the two angles.

    I just find this attitude of picky-ness and supposed high standards that some dudes have on here about women comes off as insecurity caused by latent homosexuality. "Why would I fuck her? Look at her make-up!!" Or talking about model types as if they would or would not "smash" or "approach" them. Come on, son. Most dudes here would freeze up they met a real dime, guaranteed.

    "bitch has got sharp elbows"

    any guy who pretends he would turn down 90% of the girls in this thread is just playing some bizarre form of internet-macho. are some of them coated in makeup, or the result of an hour-long photoshoot in front of a mirror to determine their best angles? absolutely. doesn't mean she isn't comfortably above-average attractive, and probably a fair bit better than what most of the hyper-critical guys score on a regular basis anyways.

    (that all being said, girl with rosey cheeks and trench wins this whole damn thing)

  11. Fucking GO Transit. Yesterday coming into work, the train was delayed like 30 minutes. Coming home from work, the train was delayed 20 minutes because someone threw a shopping cart on the track.

    Today the train was delayed 30 minutes because there was a medical emergency and they had to wait for an ambulance. Wait for an ambulance? Get the guy off the fucking train, and have someone wait with him at the station. Instead, hundreds of people are going to be late for work. Because the train was delayed, it stops at Union and I have to take the TTC the rest of the way. PLUS they just raised the fucking fare. Oh man.

    I'm pretty sure they've raised the fair at least once every year, and I have yet to figure out why. It used to be $13.50 for a round trip from Hamilton (2004). It's now $19.50.

    I hate this rain.

  12. I wonder if any admissions peeps send out phoney accepted letters on April Fools? Ultimate dick move.

    Seeing the general public and how they interact with computers, it amazes me how little the average person knows, and how thoroughly they can fuck a computer up trying to do the simplest things.

  13. wanderers. they're the people who already walk sort of slowly to begin with, but they meander in such a way that you can never really be sure if passing is a safe bet. WHY ARE YOU WALKING SO FUCKED UP?

  14. if i hadn't left them in my other jacket i would be going too. it's all about the nuggets and breakfast sandwiches. skins, cindy and dolly messed with qp's with cheese, but fuck THAT noise.
