Sunday, March 01, 2009 - Evidence for climate change; Sweat, or lack thereof; Entertainment in pro sports, or lack thereof; Writing, or lack thereof; Romper Stomper

Something's been up with the blog the past couple of days -- for reasons entirely unbeknown to me, it would only pull from the old Blurred Line Blog, which died a quiet death amidst Blogger instabilities back in 2006. Anyway, I've managed to fix it now, and since I haven't blogged for a number of days, I've got a few things I wanted to share:
  • March! Holy crap! Already! If you want indisputable proof of climate change, consider that if felt to me like there were only two really frigid weeks this year (OK, well, maybe I'm lacking on the scientific evidence). But still, winter felt like nothing this year. Of course, it's Canada so we've still got another three to four weeks to go, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now.
  • Drysol! I'm a sweaty dude. Really, anytime I do anything physical, I sweat. It's not that I'm out of shape (I mean, I am out of shape, but that's not the cause), it's just something that's always happened. So, I bought some Drysol, which is basically like rubbing a bunch of aluminum all over your underarms. It itches like hell and I had to rub it off after a couple of hours, but for the next week, pretty much zero sweat. Seriously, I'm so excited to go out for anxiety-free walks this summer it's not even funny.
  • Sens! I went out and watched the Sens lose on Thursday night, and came to the following realization: professional sports aren't worth the ticket price (exception: playoffs). I paid $80 for a ticket to watch a really boring game. Next weekend, tickets are $5 to watch the Canadian University basketball championships, and I can pretty much guarantee that it'd be a kickass time.
  • Writing! Or lack thereof! I've done nothing of note recently, though I'm going to try to sit down today and get at least a few pages done.
Keyword of the Day: For some reason, over the past two weeks there's been a massive uptick in people searching for various bits and pieces of information about Romper Stomper. Made way back in 1992, it was one of Russel Crowe's first starring roles, and had him playing a neo-Nazi.
