It’s been a busy few days, with an unscheduled trip to Toronto a whole day after returning from two weeks overseas. The nonsense that Mapleflot put me through seven days ago feels like it was seven years ago, and London is a surprisingly distant memory already. I’m fried, and feel like a truck hit me. […]

I always thought the MTV version of Big Brother was the most vacuous, no-talent, inane, and worthless piece of shit I ever had the misfortune to channel-surf through. Turns out I was mistaken; the origin of the show is much, much worse. Think Glitter meets a Paris Hilton memoirs docukmentary combined with a Jenny Craig […]

The “after” was in great shape, the “before” looked like he weighed about 400 pounds, and was drinking a beer (it was 8:15am). I […]

I made it into Heathrow on time last night, and tricked them into letting me into the country (although the Customs line was long, and the people guiding you to the gates were some of the rudest I’ve ever seen. Great first impression.) I tried to buy a ticket for the Heathrow Express, and the […]
