Kay Kids,
as some of you may know it is my birthday this Friday and one of my favourite things to do (regardless of celebrating my date of birth) is eating-especially with friends. so at present i've gone about making a reservation at Co Co Di (10160 - 100 A St) for Friday at 7:30. email me (emng@ualberta.ca) if you care to join me. i realize that it might just remotely be possible that more than 8 people want to dine with a superstar like myself, but my only reply to that is big birthday dinners are for lameos that don't submit to Guide to Life that is VICE magazine. that means all you suckass 10 year olds still having MacDonald's Birthday Party throwdowns. SERVED i say, served. For those who have yet to read the "Guide to Fuckin' Everything" this is what VICE had to say:

DOs & DON'Ts—Paying
We went to a friend's birthday dinner the other day and there were about 15 people. You know what that means? After everyone puts in their cash, the check is still going to be $250 short. You know why? Because of a group of indignant communists who care more about what the dinner can do for them than what they can do for the dinner. They just figure, "OK, I paid $11, that's reasonable" instead of, "How much are we short, and what do we have to do to get that paid?" And what are we doing having dinner with 15 people? From now on you are only allowed to eat in groups no larger than four. If there's five of you, then eat separately and meet at a bar later. There is a reason that restaurants tack on an automatic gratuity for parties of six or more.

i tend to agree. now you may point out that i'm already breakin' the rules by having a party of 8- but hey, i'm just that cool. so yeah if there's spill over i guess you'll just have to eat a lowly satelitte table- sorry rules are rules. anyways, there's always opportunity to meet for drinky winkies afterwards, namely at either SAVOY or the BACKROOM ..or both. i haven't really decided.

hope to see you guys then.
PS SOMEBODY FUCKIN' DRAG PERCY AND HIRJ OUT! i never see those guys! that would make my birthday right therrr.

oh, no, Tom, stand by your recommendation by all means. I wasn't trying to shut you down. I just wanted to point out the other things about the Fringe that make it worth attending... like THEATRE! I mean, hell, I've seen many a terrible play at the Fringe too, but some are good, and some are exceptionally good. Like Burlesque... going later this week... and what's it about? BURLESQUE! so... I'm sure, a fair amount of skin and panties were promised, but it also got five stars... so the acting and story line can't be terrible... it's all about what you want to and choose to go see... but try some THEATRE! really, it's not all that awful.


On an unrelated thought: Paras, what is going to happen to this site once you're really no longer a student? They don't just give out free web space indefinitely, do they?

So, there is a mercy rule in softball at the Olympics. Canada fell victim to it today, losing 7-0 in five innings. The Americans have won 75 straight softball games. "Canada (2-3) was just the second team to get a runner to third base against the U.S. in Athens."

Paper Napkin. Apparently, if someone is hitting on you, and you don't have the fortitude to reject them in person but, for some reason, you still want to crush their soul, this site is for you. Simply give them a somename@papernapkin.net e-mail address to get in touch with you. When they e-mail you, they'll get this delightfully tame rejection letter. Previously, they had this letter, which was brutal. A brief snippet:


You're probably thinking this person is totally fucked-up for rejecting you. Let's just stop and think about it for a sec. Your appearance: what is it like this very moment? Your demeanor: when you approach a stranger what are you thinking? Would your thoughts be appropriate to share with your mother?
...
If you see the rejector again, they don't want to talk to you. They will pretend you don't exist.

i always enjoy seeing a play at the fringe just for the experience but its always a total crapshoot.... unless ure willing to line up for an hour plus to see a sure-fire, cant-miss winner like the one man lord of the rings show or machomer from a few years back, u just have to roll the dice... over the years ive seen a few good plays (o archie, an adaptation of othello with archie comics characters, comes to mind) and a lot of bad ones (some one-woman clown show where she ate out a grapefruit like it was a vagina, causing a few audience members to leave.... uuuugggghhh).... this isnt shakespeare or shaw, this is fringe theatre, and 75% of the plays that are showing are garbage... but watching a fat guy getting darts chucked into his belly well who cant love that so why take a chance... plus tickets were cheap and it wasnt packed so u could get a great seat... i stand by my recommendation

nah nah, don't go see mayhem... go support actual theatre! Sure, spectacle, spectacle, but really, acting! go see a play! or some improv, or whatever... yeah, go see mayhem if you must, but see some theatre too. That's what the Fringe is all about... not just contortionists, or severed talking heads... THEATRE!!!

so i'm checking the Olympic results here, and i notice the United Eric Emirates, i mean, Arab Emirates are medal placing several spots above Canada. at the current standing they're a gold medal ahead, from get this, Shooting - Men's Double Trap. now i don't want to go about passing judgement or anything, but SHOULD WE REALLY BE REWARDING TERRORISTS WITH GOLD MEDALS?!?!
in fact, why are we even competing in an event that we know we cannot win?! that's like having our boys try to beat them at the 50 lbs explosives 100 M dash! WON'T HAPPEN

Black Eyed Peas Studio Fire
A recording studio the Black Eyed Peas were working in went up in flames, after the group allegedly lit candles to create a mood while recording material for their new album.
According officials, the group was recording material for their upcoming album "Monkey Business" inside the Glenwood Place Studios (California).
The candles sparked the blaze around 3:00 am...
Members of the group were in another part of the facility eating dinner during a break when they learned of the fire.
Despite their attempts to extinguish the fire, the studio sustained an estimated $50,000 worth of damages.
The group escaped with a tape of their recordings and some burnt guitars. "Guitars, drums, drum-kits, keyboards, microphones, classic instruments that we've collected with our worldly travels are now destroyed," will.i.am told local TV station KABC.
“They evacuated the building (and) even tried using fire extinguishers prior to our arrival, but it was too late for fire extinguishers,” said Captain Ron Bell. “But they did a good job."
Due to the Pea’s efforts, only about 20 percent of the studio was affected. The studio remained open and continued other recording sessions. The group is expected to continue recording at the facility.
