3 or 4 millimeters

School has been kind of confusing. I don't know if it's just me or if all the other opticianry students are just as lost as I am. The theory is easy enough, but using certain machines is confusing. We also have to take measurements, which require an astounding amount of precision; on the exams, we're only allowed a margin of error of half a millimeter. We've all been practicing the measurements on each other, and it seems the majority of us are off by about 3 or 4 millimeters. So the only options we have are to stop sucking or fail. And my cousin was telling me opticianry was easy.

Got some photos developed. Most of them are from the poutine party.











Going to see the Walkmen tonight. It should be a good time. They're surprisingly good live. Waking up at 6 tomorrow morning should also be a good time.

SAY WHAAAAAAT?

This is nothing new, since everyone knows who Rick James is and has probably already seen this video. The only reason this is here is because I remember seeing this almost 2 decades ago. I couldn't remember anything about it other than the part where the girl goes "SAY WHAAAAAT?" (around 1:30) and Rick goes "Give it to me!", because it was the only part of it that I saw. It stuck with me for all this time until recently, when I heard the song and realized it was Rick James. And voila, here it is after all these years.
This song is hella catchy too.

Poutine/Putin Party

Thanks to Audrey for having us over (she didn't even want it at her place to begin with). It was hella tight or whatever the kids are saying these days.

Monotrona

Like Bobby Conn, I can't decide if I like this or not. The 8-bit sounding song is awesome, but the Elmer Fudd in her voice and the fact that I can't understand what the hell she's saying kind of kills it for me. Public access television is awesome.

Because I haven't really written anything lately

School started this week. It's been pretty unspectacular. I thought the first week would be a good way to get a feel for the program to see if I'd like it or not, but as it stands now, I'm still unsure. The fact that the Char of Health Sciences clearly has no idea what the fuck she's doing isn't exactly comforting either. The whole program is a clusterfuck of a mess.

I went for a job interview. I was pretty certain I'd get it. I didn't. The end.

A lot of the time, I feel like the only part of me that's even remotely Scarborough-ish is the fact that I've lived here all my life. But every time the bunch of us come up with a new game, I realize that yes, we are pretty ghetto indeed. The possibilities for incredibly bored boys to amuse themselves are endless.

Never get ahead

I waste a lot of time on Youtube and one of the more mind blowing things I've come across lately is Bobby Conn. My jaw dropped when I saw this video and the best part is that I couldn't even tell if it was because I thought it was the most awesome thing I've ever seen or the absolute worst. If this tickles your fancy, you should also check out every other video of him on Youtube. You won't be disappointed.
