I realize we only care about short-track speedskating (the roller-derby of the winter Olympics) every four years, but, at a meet in Italy, Canada took 19 out of 24 medals. There were two events with all-Canadian finals, and a record set today:

"With five Canadians in the final our goal was for one of us to get the world record," said [Mathieu] Giroux, 19. "So initially we were just supposed to have a normal race and whoever finished first would have the record. But with 12 laps to go the other four slowed down and I just went for it. The crowd knew I was on track for the record and they rocked the place. It really helped me get that mark."

Sorry for the abscence, working on something right now. I can't really think of something to do... I guess we could go to a bar or something. But I think it would be too short notice for the most of us.

Sorry about the funeral.

I'm up for anything.

I'm game for something, just got back from a funeral... man it sucked, felt more like a preacher trying to tell a whole room full of non-Christians to repent and belive or else we won't see heaven for 2 hours than it felt like a celebration of life

Who wants to do something tonight?

6. DJ Generic
13. Miss Mannered
20. Westfalia (DJ set)
27. Optimus Prime

Jere, give me a shout out out about the show tonight. I might be persuaded to join you for some tunes

It's weird... everytime I mess with my stereo it sounds better... even if I didn't actually do anything to it that should make it sound different. I'm trying to clean my room today, and I did some re-arranging to make more space for stuff. In the process, my stereo amplifier got moved almost exactly one foot above from where it was previously sitting. And yet; my speakers sound crisper than ever. What the fuck? It's gotta be some sorta placebo thing...
