There’s another post up at Freshman Life. No pompous comments yet, but it has a front page promo, so give it time.
Have you heard? 2010 is the new 1969. What’s our Woodstock going to be? A Facebook group?

Shake Appeal
There’s a new post up on Freshman Life. They cut out the first bit. Here it is:
Theaters make it easier to sneak into 3D movies by putting big cardboard boxes outside their entrances where people can throw their glasses after the film is done. What’s the point of paying extra to see Avatar in three dimensions when you can buy a ticket for the flat screening, and stop by one of those handy dispensaries to get your glasses for free? For that matter, why would you throw away the glasses in the first place? So they can be recycled and you can buy them back later? It’s like people feel bad for the industry because it can’t keep up with the internet, so they’re willing to spend eight dollars on popcorn and shell out extra for Wayfarer knock-offs as an act of charity. Almost makes me feel bad for them. (The theaters, or the customers? I’m not sure which.)
I tried this method with my friend last week, and it worked perfectly until we realized the theater we were trying to sneak into was full. On a Wednesday night. For the ninth showing of the week. If the big studios can keep pumping out films like Avatar, maybe they won’t be charity cases any more.
Also a short thing in today’s Ubyssey about dumpster diving. Includes a photo of me wearing nothing but cardboard and what appear to be an overweight Greek woman’s thighs. One day, this will be regrettable.
How was your weekend?
I wax hypocritical in the latest GlobeCampus blog post.

WORD IS BORN
In the interests of Being Grown up, I’m going to start posting links to everything I “publish” here. (I use that term loosely.) It’s like a portfolio, only with that crazy internet pod the kids are so wild about.
Maybe other things will show up here sporadically that are original, and not links. Oh how terribly exciting.
Also probably it’s time to close the comments section, since the only entities using them are Russian spambots that tell bad jokes.
“Nice joke! How do you keep a bagel from getting away? Put lox on it!”
It is not necessary to explain this.
I’ve been hired by the Globe and Mail to write their Freshman Life blog from September til June. I’ll be posting at least once a week, with the occasional sexy pic to keep people coming back. Infantile and profane subject matter will continue to appear here on an irregular basis, but less frequently - after all, I am a FRESHMAN BLOGGER now, and I have many important things BLOG about on the INTERWIDE WEB. Not to mention that I move to Vancouver on Saturday and I’ll probably be joining a gang, and what with drive-by shootings and FRESHMAN BLOGGING, I expect my schedule will be hectic.
If you click the link above right now, you’ll probably see posts by last year’s FRESHMAN BLOGGER, which I have nothing to do with. Unless of course you are currently in the future at some point on or after September 5th, 2009, in which case you’ll see my posts. I put a silly picture below in order to make this post interesting, and because soon I’ll be a FRESHMAN BLOGGER, and we FRESHMAN BLOGGERS are
