This made me laugh out loud, even after watching it more than once:
A notable quote:
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom - Tucker wants me humping his shoulder.
It’s made by Barats & Berata, a sketch-comedy group. They have lots of videos, which I haven’t looked at yet.

This morning my mom asked me if I was getting enough sleep; she said I looked tired and worn out. I think I’m getting enough sleep. There are a few things on my mind lately, but I don’t think they’re troubling me.
Maybe I should shave more than once a week.
Does your pee smell [...]

It’s still self-pity day. Bear with me.
I find myself scrutinizing my kids’ behavior, trying to figure out if my kids have talent in any area, such as music or drawing. We’re not pushing them into anything - it’s a casual observation, hoping they’ll have an aptitude I wish I had. I see [...]

So, it’s around 2pm and I’m getting hungry - I haven’t had lunch yet. I forgot my wallet at home, and all I have is a loaf of bread and gum on my desk. I don’t feel like eating plain whole wheat bread, but I see a jar of peanut butter at a [...]

It’s Self-pity Rant Day:
I live paycheck to paycheck, having little money for extracurricular activities for the family. I can never afford to take distant vacations (say to Disneyland or the tropics), and I can’t afford house renovations that I require.
I am not poor. I contribute to RRSPs, I have a car loan and [...]

My two year old son is having a minor operation tomorrow morning: one of his tear ducts has been blocked for over a year, which makes it prone to infection (although he hasn’t had one). The only symptom that anything is wrong is tears running down one side of his face occasionally.
The procedure:
A surgical [...]

This is encouraging: Ottawa idling bylaw gets moving
An Ottawa committee will consider Tuesday a bylaw that would ban idling for longer than three minutes except under special circumstances.
…the bylaw would include exceptions for drivers stuck in traffic, as well as those trying to keep warm on days colder than 5 C or trying to keep [...]

Yes, after four years, I’ve switched from Bloglines (BL) to Google Reader (GR). GR seems a tad slower than BL, but I like its interface better.
Grow-a-brain’s feed in BL stopped displaying URLs properly a couple years ago, such that all HTML was stripped from it, so you didn’t know what was a link; however, [...]

We drove to Lower Sackville last Friday, coming back Saturday after driving to New Minas. Highlights of the trip:
Someone drove by in the opposite direction IN THE PASSING LANE of a divided highway; that’s right, he was driving in the wrong direction. That was near Moncton. I later thought I should’ve called [...]

I’m thinking about tuning out the news for a week.
No tv, radio, newspaper or internet news for a week. Just to see what it feels like. And to see if I can do it.
Starting now. (I’m thinking about it.)

I had a good guitar tuner years ago and someone stole it. I remember buying it for about $80. It sells for about $200 now. I don’t have the greatest ear and so I’ve pretty much been playing an out-of-tune guitar for at least the past 10 years. I kinda like that. I didn’t bother [...]

Shoplifter awarded $12,000 in damages:
An admitted shoplifter has been awarded $12,000 for injuries he suffered during an altercation with a security guard and a store manager…
The store’s lawyer argued that Baines was the author of his own misfortune; that when he stole the razors he should have expected to get stopped, and that Baines shouldn’t [...]
