Dear reader, you almost didn't get this post today. I came very close to being t-boned by an arsehole blowing through a stop sign today. Luckily I was paying attention and a little paranoid after my previous incident and the fact that there is ice outside. Yeah, it's that time of the year. One of the bonuses to totaling my Mitsubishi is that I get to drive the Subaru which has AWD and better tires. It should be much better in the winter. Plus the steering wheel warmers. Fuck seat warmers. The steering wheel is where it's at. I finally heard back from SGI and my car is official written off, which isn't a surprise. They're giving me almost 12K for it but since I still have 15K left on the loan I'm gonna search around and see if I can get a bit more. Initial look says that's a good price though. Oh well. So, I might not buy a new car and we might go down to one. This isn't a huge issue but it would be way easier if we didn't live outside of Saskatoon. O...

Yesterday I was struggling to think of something to write about. I then realized it was Thursday and I could wait another day to struggle. Cut to the drive in this morning. I went through a few existing ideas in my mind but didn't like them much. Sure, asking about driving myths and rules is great, but it's also pretty much just asking my main reader to get to work so I passed on that one. But then I came upon the perfect idea! A great topic that everyone would enjoy. Something I could write a decently long post about! You can probably tell by my delaying that I have forgotten what that topic was. This is why I have a list of ideas on my phone so I don't forget them. I was driving though so I couldn't write it down. I could have used Siri but then my music would have stopped for a short time and we can't have that. I've only listened to that album a hundred times. I need to keep going. This is very typical in my life though. My short term memory is absolute tras...

My wife and daughter are currently in BC doing some Roller Derby stuff until Monday. That means it's just me and the pups at home. Mwahahahahaha! I'm gonna snort so much cocaine off hooker asses. Snort meaning sitting on the couch, cocaine meaning play video games and hooker asses meaning hooker breasts. I'd like to think it'll be a good, relaxing weekend, but even if they were around I'd still be doing the same thing. I'm so lazy. I will likely try to take the dogs to the park and maybe work out my back. I think I have a bruised sternum from the seatbelt in my accident last week. It's mostly healed but I feel like I just need to move things around a bit since I've babied it all long enough. Capone also really wants to go to the park. He's been begging but by the time I get home it's dark enough that I'll loose him and Sadie there. Some dogs had light up collars so that might be something to get. Or I could just take them for a walk on a leas...

This past weekend was good ol' Thanksgiving. A time of great food and pie. We headed out to Humboldt to see Daniella's Aunt. Her husband is confined to a wheelchair after a mining accident many years ago so it's easy for us to just go to a restaurant out there and then head to her house after. Of course, we went the day it was raining and snowing and slushy. I drove the new Subaru which handled well. I have a better driving record than Daniella or her mom and since I haven't had a major incident, it just makes sense for me to drive. Of course, in hindsight, I shouldn't have fucking said that out loud. Let us fast forward to yesterday.  Yup. That's my car at about 8am in Warman. And an $80,000 Toyota Supra on the right side. I tried to beat the yellow. He turned left in my way. Technically both our faults, but I'll admit it was a stretch for me to try to beat that yellow, even if I did enter the intersection with it yellow. I'm back at work today but I am...

Music. It seems that the timeline of the recording industry is finally recovering after COVID. All the music was coming out in batches but it seems to be spreading out a bit now. Over the past few years I've started listening to an artist called Jason Bieler and the Baron Von Bielski Orchestra. His music is listed in the prog genre but I wouldn't list it there. It has a lot of those same hooks and riffs that have been going since Beethoven but with much darker lyrics. But the music sounds happier. Happy music but the art style is Victorian plague doctor. It's good stuff to listen to, but I wouldn't go out of my way to suggest him. Until his last album, though that's hardly because of him. He released an album featuring The Baroness. She has a very pop star/country music pop voice and the songs are completely reimagined, but still retaining the riffs. One song that was originally a dark, acoustic tune is now a lounge song. And her pipes are just phenomenal. But, just...

It's my birthday tomorrow. My birthday itself doesn't mean much to me as it's not like my body suddenly ages a year. It's a day just like any other. That said, now that I have a wife, she cooks me a delicious meal and gives me a present. This year she said my present is something you do to make something. Since I can't make babies anymore, that leaves one thing out. Belles birthday is coming up next weekend. She'll be 19 so can finally buy her own weed. She's got the couple of days planned. Unfortunately, we have to do more driving than originally anticipated as she injured her knee at derby, She's been on crutches and in a brace for a week so far and will get it off just in time for her birthday. No idea what is wrong yet but she sees the specialist next week. Possible meniscus or MCL tear. Or maybe it's in her head. She's ended up doing what I would have done in her place: not leaving the house. We kicked her out to go to derby practice last ni...

As told in the annals of Pilot's World earlier this week, I was at the funeral for my grandfather on the weekend. While there, I picked up some sort of plague. Today is my first day working as I was dead the rest of the week. My nephew, Roch, pointed his finger at the Pilot's children, indicating that they may not have felt well that day. I don't know if this is true, but I'm going to blame them anyway. Our sister, Shanna, also came down with the sickness. So, I was at home watching lots of YouTube and Nebula videos. My feed on Youtube is completely full of AI generated content. Just a voice reading a script with some pictures in the background. I didn't really notice it at first but when they start saying one-thousand nine-hundred and forty-two instead of 1942 in a war video, it's obvious. When they say Gen-E-stealers instead of Genestealers in a Warhammer video, it's obvious. I don't mind AI generated stuff, to a point. This stuff is obviously ripped o...
