So...I'm at home. And I apparently get to celebrate Chanukkah not once tonight...but twice! I have time to have a quick one with my family, and we're bringing a chanukiah up to the cottage, so double chanukkah! Alas, I left my Orhan Pamuk book in Guelph, like a moron. Luckily, Darien lent me his English books, which so far are really good. Good things about being home: latkes, mattresses, showers, the fact that my sister had two guys at school get into a fist-fight over her (how awesome is that?!) Bad thins: my cousin, who has stolen my room, apparently likes Nickelback and Creed. And plays them loudly. Ewww..... So...to all of you who I didn't say a proper goodbye to: Have a great break, happy holidays, and all that sort of jazz, if you're going anywhere, have fun there...and see you all in a few weeks time. | | Wednesday, May 17th, 2006 | | 10:26 pm |

The "Jeremy's New LJ Name" Shortlist
Apocalyptic Hamburgler (or, Hamburger for the Apocalypse) Withnail On Holiday By Mistake Atomic Engine Stoker Justice Sandwich (no toppings necessary) The Exact Opposite of Everything You Hate add more...this was all I could come up with. I like Apocalyptic Hamburgler the best, but Atomic Engine Stoker isn't bad either. They're making a prequel to Bubba Ho-tep, called Bubba Nosferatu. Life is stupid sometimes. | | 6:44 am |
I had another worm dream last night. T his time, I was the carnivore. I was eating platefulls of worms, until I got disgusted, and went to the backyard to spit them out. And my whole backyard was covered in writhing worms. I hope dreams don't mean anything. To counterract worminess, and worst-days-ever, I bought a book that I have really wanted to read for a long time. Also, it's supposed to rain today at 2, and now that I trust the Weather Network again, this means I can look forward to getting off work early. | | Tuesday, May 16th, 2006 | | 11:17 pm |
Viewed objectively, today was easily the worst day of my life. End communication. | | 7:54 pm |

http://holyoffice.livejournal.com/80073.htmlThis is brilliant. It's a cheat sheet for christianity. Highlites include: The Pope The Pope is the President of Christianity. He is elected every four years by the Congress of Cardinals, which is divided into the Senate and the Holy House of Representatives. As president, the pope can veto important pieces of legislation, which he tends to do. The pope is also magical, and cannot be seen with the naked eye except for one hour on Christmas Eve every year. Touchdown Jesus When professional athletes thank Jesus for helping them win a game, this is the Jesus they're referring to. and other brilliance. My only disagreement is with the statement that Francis of Asissi is the Derek Jeter of Catholics. I hate Jeter, and I like Francis. | | 6:52 am |
I am now an obsessive weather-network checker. They say the rain will start at 8 am. they better be right, dammit. | | Sunday, May 14th, 2006 | | 10:10 pm |

The writer of Not-Included, one of my favourite webcomics, told me that "I think we could all be dinosaurs if we wanted to". This pleases me greatly. I just went through the Dresden Codak archives, waiting for him to update again. That is possibly the greatest website on the internet. And I've rediscovered Egyptian mythology. It's even cooler than I remembered. | | 2:40 pm |
Man Man are finally coming to toronto! june 5, at the Silver Dollar Club! it will be cheap! everyone go! go! go! | | Thursday, May 11th, 2006 | | 11:30 pm |
Oh...one more thing. I'm thinking of changing my livejournal username, because frankly, shortening my first name, and then eliminating the space between it and my last name is pretty unimaginative. if anyone has any ideas, please suggest. I think i want something with either "bot" or "tron" at the end. or maybe "master". like "the quackmaster". or something. | | 11:18 pm |
For no discernible reason, my family went on a geneology craze tonight, and after three hours or so of research, we have a pretty solid family tree for one branch of my family that goes back to the most famous rabbi in Judaism, who lived around the 1000s, and another branch that goes back to some rabbi in the year 780. I also have discovered that I'm related to a Stalin-era Soviet Filmmarker, whose films I now want to see, and although I already knew I was related to the publishers of the best edition of the Talmud ever printed, I now know how. Other exciting things about today include the cancellation of work, the going to of Guelph (where I bought English textbooks), and the discovery of the fact that there is indeed a man named Voros McCracken, which has to be the most absurd name ever. But he is real. He invented dIPS. And, if anything in the world could make me want to go see a Ron Howard movie starring Tom Hanks, it would have to be the knowledge that paying money for that movie would piss off James Dobson. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/11/us/11davinci.html?hp&ex=1147406400&en=0d5ab08def0098ed&ei=5094&partner=homepageI kinda feel bad for the one pastor who says "It's very important for some Christians at least to be able to engage in an intelligent discussion." Yeah. That's the approach that Focus on the Family will take. Totally. Poor guy. It must be hard being so sane when you're surrounded by such nutbars. | | 10:07 am |

Is there anything better than waking up at 6:20, but finding out that you can go right back to sleep? No... unless the reason you can go right back to sleep is that WORK IS CANCELLED!!! YAY!!!!! | | Wednesday, May 10th, 2006 | | 9:16 pm |
The nice thing about working outside, is that rain=day off. Tomorrow and Friday are expected to be fairly damn rainy. Here's hoping.... Mark Kozelek, the guy from the Red House Painters, has a new album out of all Modest Mouse covers. If you like Modest Mouse (Jeff, I'm looking at you...), listen. It's really good. I think I'll send some along someday. When I'm not so absurdly tired. | | Tuesday, May 9th, 2006 | | 7:09 pm |
Squirmy Wormies
I've been having dreams about worms lately. Twice, they've been carnivorous worms. So, now, whenever I come across worms at work, which is often, I get all creeped out. Happily though, flowers have started being delivered, and we just pile them all up on the driveway until it's planting time, so the driveway looks really pretty. Also, my DE course started, and we apparently get to watch Ghost Dog for it, which is awesome. | | Sunday, May 7th, 2006 | | 11:02 pm |
