Quick little tidbits today, because every second this computer is on warms up an already baking apartment. +44 today with the humidity factored in (not like anyone not in Winnipeg cares).

1. This prediction is proof that meteorologists are behind one of the biggest scams ever.
2. Remote-throwing event of the week: Channel surfing by the MTV 2002 Movie Awards, and being treated to the horror of Pearl Harbor not only being nominated and winning for “Best Action Sequence”, but also the vomitus-inducing acceptance speech by hack director Michael Bay. (Said in a pure “I’m too cool for this fucking award” LA accent, and I’m paraphrasing, but only just):

   Thanks to MTV, this is where I got my start, thanks to the cast and crew, blah blah blah, and the 3000 people who lost their lives. See ya.

   What he meant to say was, “Thanks to the 3000 people who lost their lives - we couldn’t have done it without you.” I say: WTF?

   (Sad prediction): In three years, there will be some hot shot, talentless director giving an acceptance speech for a terrible, overwrought, in horrifically bad taste movie about 9/11. And I will take my TV and toss it out the window.

3. Did I mention it’s hot?
4. I once was obsessed with spinach. Now it’s asparagus. What’s wrong with me?
5. Nominee for bad summer wear decision: I saw a rather, er, robust woman standing in Osborne Village today wearing a pair of shorts which had the following words silkscreened on her ass: Art Classique.
