My Favourite "Told You So" Fact
The closing ceremonies tonight brought up my favourite “I Told You So” fact. The song sung by the crew of the Red October in The Hunt For Red October is not the State Anthem of the Russian Federation but is in fact called “Hymn to Red October” and was composed specifically for the film.
They are both Russian hymns, so they may sound quite similar, but are in fact...
Sidney Crosby is 22 years old.

He’s already won a Stanley Cup and scored the gold-medal winning goal on home ice.
Fuck my wasted life.
Dude, you think his accomplishments are depressing? Think of what Alexander the Great had done by the time he was around 22. Or Vesalius. Or Isaac Newton.
That’s not helping either!

Also, simonf and I are the masters of 90’s television. Don’t even try to mess with us.
Recipe for a Supervillain.
equivoque:
1. Deep feelings of social isolation and exclusion. There are two social events I am missing out on right now.
2. Professional pressure to excel at consequence of deep shame. Everyone I love believes in me; everyone I know professionally is relying on me.
3. Narrow-minded obsession with an equally narrow topic. I’m going to know everything about phlebotomy in the nineteenth century...

Buckfast Tonic Wine →
Tumbling about drinking while drunk. Great idea. Also, terrible idea. Buckfast has 15% A.B.V. and a ton of sugar and caffeine. Sounds like a terrible and wonderful combination.
Hmmm, I think I tumbl better when I’m drunk, because I don’t care what I post. I’ll investigate this theory better tomorrow night. Morning. Fuck.

Jonathan Coulton » Pre-Songs →
JoCo figures out some songs. Kind of cool to hear the what some of his great songs started out as. Makes me want to get in to music some more. I’ve got a MIDI keyboard around here I should really put to use, and a guitar I need to learn how to play.

These are great quality, and the man and his guitar alone still play a damn good tune.
