Random Stuff of Great to Moderate to No Importance

My blog is acting like it’s sick. Sometimes my comment pages load, and sometimes they don’t. I apologize if you’ve tried recently to leave a comment saying how stupid I am, and my software wouldn’t let you vent properly. Likewise if it was a compliment.

I also sent a 4GB “jumbo drive” back with my Dad for warranty replacement. It was a Christmas gift that never quite worked, I think the microdrive inside it was crashed. And I patiently await the arrival of an XO laptop. Hopefully the kid in Afghanistan (Haiti, or wherever the other one went), has it and is enjoying it by now.

There was some theme with the war going on in the background, but I didn’t pick up the meaning.

I read a few weeks ago that an anti-smoking group gave Die Hard IV a high rating for not having smoking in it, and The Simpson’s Movie a poor grade for glorifying smoking. Bruce Willis apparently doesn’t care for cigarettes much, any more.

The Saskatchewan Liberals have a new leader, Frank Proto.

Looking to examine the culture of “white people” in a not so sensitive, and slightly humourous way? Stuff White People Like, is that attempt.

And flipping over to another racial topic is the always mind boggling genocide of Rwanda, and the hero who the world ignored:
