First of all, thanks to everyone for the condolences regarding Duncan's passing. I plan to have a Crayon Haiku up about him sometime this week or next week, so he can live on not only in my blog but on SC as well. Hard to believe I really miss a fish -- he'd been here so long I hardly even noticed him when he was here -- but his death makes me feel slightly lumpy inside. It's weird. (more...)

I'm due at work at noon so I'VE GOTTA MOTOR, but I wanted to have this up before I left so here goes -- Happy Father's Day, Master Splinter! And to all of those other good fathers out there. Enjoy! Ja for now. 🙂

Well, I was going to write about how awful my day was (with one notable exception), but then something else happened... so it is with a heavy heart that I bid farewell to someone who's lived in this house almost as long as I can remember. (more...)

No photos of me shirtless this time, though. 😛

So the other night I stopped into Hot Topic in Arundel Mills and got that same giddy rush that usually comes over me whenever I step into a HT store no matter where it is in the country. Now I know a lot of people, especially among the older and/or slightly more mature gothic crowd, don't like the chain because it took the "original" culture they grew up with (and to some extent feel that they created, or at least somehow made their own) and essentially made it a trendy place where rebellious teenagers can conveniently pick up threads to flaunt their attitude and piss off their parents and schoolteachers, and I can understand that.

You are Nihilist Bear!

You don't like anything. Nothing matters enough for you to like it. The only thing you even remotely like is the idea that nothing is worth liking.

As the antithesis of the typical Care Bear, you tend to have a lot of existential angst. You're an interesting mix of Goth and philosopher. You're the most intellectual of the Care Bears and can often be found brooding over the state of things. Because of this, you find it very hard to care about things. Even fluffy kitties.
