Rain.
I hate it. It is by far the most miserable condition. I think I might even prefer walking through a blizzard than walk a few hundred yards in wet weather. Even with an umbrella.
PS—I normally always have an extra pair of socks in my bag in case of days like today, but I was slow on laundry this week so I had to use it. Now I’m stuck with sponge-like-socks for the next few hours until...

Moose
Nothing says Canada more than the moose. These creatures are huge, unwieldy and slow moving; if somehow they could be taught to divert federal money into their own pockets, they’d be a perfect symbol for the Canadian Parliament. Cougars
While out in the open, they are mostly harmless. When in a tightly enclosed area, these creatures become vicious and relentless, going after prey much...

Amy Klein (of Titus Andronicus) writes about what “the problem” with Lana Del Rey is:
Lana Del Ray is sitting at home waiting for you to come home so she can fix you dinner and a drink. Lana Del Ray is waiting for you to come home so she can watch you play video games on the couch and ignore her all day until it’s time for bed. Lana Del Ray is waiting for you to come home so you...

Clint Eastwood on Gay Marriage and Politics in General
Because what I really believe is, let’s spend a little more time leaving everybody alone. These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don’t give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a deal out of. […]
They go on and on with all this...

Movember
Movember starts off with us men shaving on the 31st of October and letting our moustaches grow over the month of November. Simple enough. The thing is, if I shaved tonight and let it grow, you wouldn’t see much of a difference thirty days from now.
I shaved a maximum of ten times in my life. I’ve been sporting a beard ever since that first hair revealed itself over my upper lip, and...

Michael Sykes:
If you want to sit down and play Angry Birds (or Trainyard – seriously, you should play Trainyard) then sit down and play Angry Birds. But don’t use Angry Birds or whatever else you can think of to occupy your mind when it might otherwise be accomplishing something.

Marco Arment on magazine ads
Ads signify to me that the money I paid isn’t enough to give me the product I thought I paid for. That’s what I called “double-dipping”: I paid with the expectation that I was paying for the entire product, and then I was unexpectedly sold out, which offends me.
I totally agree with him on this. I’ve purchased many magazines over the years and I always feel ripped off when I open it up and...

In the last few years, my goal in life has been to have the smallest carbon footprint possible. I recycle everything recyclable, I spend over three hours daily commuting using public transit when the number could be drastically smaller by driving a car, I use reusable bags and never accept plastic bags from stores, I carry around one of those reusable water bottles, and the list goes on. But the...
