Ever notice how it's the little things in life that amuse us so much? More to the point, ever notice how it's the silly little idiocies in life that amuse us more than anything else? Well, this is not as much ''the little blog that could'' as it is ''the blog that enjoys going up the down escalator in your local mall.'' Will it have anything of real importance? No, probably not. But enjoy the ride never the less!

 

I've been meaning to update this little bit of nowhere for a few days now. I wish I could say there was a valid reason for this, but in truth I've just been watching Trainspotting among other things. (Currently it's Mel parading about in a new pair of pyjamas she bought today.)

This past weekend was spent seeing a lot of old friends and family Mel & I just haven't been able to see in a looooong while. We spent Friday night in Toronto, and pretty much all of Saturday in Oshawa visiting with my grandfather as well as our aunt & uncle from up north. Sunday was spent visiting some new Anime titles, with the evening being capped off by the shindig at Roupen's, where many a friend gathered to celebrate. Somewhere amidst the lasagne & falafels, the random conversations and happy episodes of Robot Chicken, the following revelations were made:

1. If the Fancrew were forced to ever resort to cannibalism, I would be deemed too skinny to be used as a decent entree. Instead, I would be forced the indignity of being ranked as mere "soup stock."

2. Apparently, my writing can break the Internet. According to Jen, whenever she's tried to link my blog (and possibly any of my writing) to Livejournal, the feed crashes. This unto itself has hidden potential. Whenever the machines rise up and Skynet tries to take over, all they have to do is connect that pesky AI to my fanfics and it'll commit computer seppuku.

(On a related note, I was sorely tempted to create a regular LJ account if not for the sole purpose of seeing if I could break poor Ginny's mind on a near daily basis.)

3. The best way to kill any ongoing conversations around you is to mention "MPreg". It doesn't have to be in any sort of context. It doesn't even have to have a sentence wrapped around it. But guaranteed you say "MPreg" and suddenly you are the centre of almost everyone's attention...though not necessarily in a good way.

In other news, the USA has undergone the beginnings of a paradigm shift, and Britney Spears has filed for divorce. Now be honest, and a show of hands here: who didn't see either of these coming?

And finally, I have at long last encountered someone's solution to a Calculus problem that actually makes sense to me:
