"The change took effect in the U.S. only, and hasn’t yet been implemented in Canada."

Yes, that is a person completely covered in watermelons, surrounded by other watermelons.

Ours is not to reason why...

I have not much to say otherwise. I've been watching episodes of "Nova: The Fabric of the Cosmos".

Quantum mechanics FTW!

And I watched Apocalypse 2012, If you can't watch it on the CBC site... here it is on YouTube.

I found the thing really, really entertaining considering that all the people were interviewed over a year ago. I also became acquainted with some conspiracy theories that I had not heard of before. There's a couple of doozies, including Peter Gersten, Esq. 

"That’s right, the man plans to leap from a cliff-face over the putative Mayan apocalypse."

Speaking of porn... WTF is up with this?

When the shit doesn't go down in a week we'll have to wait another 6 to 16 years for the next apocalypse.

Two weeks until the end of this year. I really, really want to just sleep through the whole thing.

I have nothing to say.

I don't have any parties to go to, so I posted this song.

These two photos accurately demonstrate the contents of my brain. Hopefully I'm back to sleep within the next 90 minutes.

Purple was 1-1 today. Pittsburgh had their asses handed to them and the Patriots don't play until tomorrow.

World Juniors start in 16 days! YAY! I don't know if I am going to stay up or wake up early to watch Canada's first game against Germany at 1:30 AM PST. I hate when the tournament is in Russia.

And knowing is half the battle

This is one of my favourite sites in the entire internet: http://www.good.is/

They run something called "Thirty Days of GOOD". I have done parts of 30 days of art and the 30 day digital makeover. During that last 30 days one of the attempts at living a better life was I tried was Track your time online

So I downloaded Rescue Time and for the past three weeks it sends me an email on Sunday afternoon that breaks out what I have been doing online for the past week. What I have learned is thus:

I spent 30 hours and 24 minutes online last week. I spend on average 4 hours 28 minutes a day online on my laptop at home. Of that time 65% is spent on social networking, games and shopping.

I actually feel kind of bad about this. I have no idea why I spend so much time dicking around online when I have so much to do. My house needs time an attention. My cross stitching needs time and attention. I have to find a new job. I don't want to hate my life any more and that is why I've been trying to do things differently for a while now.

But the good news about Rescue Time's emails is that I am now being more mindful about what I am doing with my time and on what page I leave my computer idling on when I leave the screen. I silently applaud myself when I realize that I didn`t turn the computer on until I needed that day, rather than turning it on and idling away my morning with Facbook, Twitter and news sites.

Being confronted with the hours I spend doing nothing but clicking flash games and waiting for my friends to say something funny/witty/insightful/offensive online has been a small revelation. Now all I need to do is decide whether the time I spend on this site is very productive, productive, neutral, distracting or very distracting.
