I tried buying Jon Stewart tickets this morning. First try, for the $65 tickets: found two tickets, but it told me the sightlines would be obstructed. Screw that, I’m not paying $65 for an obstructed view. Cancel order. Try again with the $75 tickets. Still obstructed, and these seats are even further back than the $65 tickets. The hell? Screw that, I’ll get the $65 tickets. Cancel order. Try again using $65. Nothing available. You bitch. Tried again using any price, any seat. Nothing available. Sold out.

I could’ve gotten them from the Massey Hall website, but now I’m not so sure they’re worth $85 each when I can just watch him on TV every night.

Yowzah. The five-day forecast for Toronto:

• Monday: sunny & 34 degrees
• Tuesday: sunny & 35 degrees
• Wednesday: sunny & 35 degrees
• Thursday: sunny & 34 degrees
• Friday: sunny & 34 degrees

The Film Fesitval site has been updated for 2005. Passes go on sale next Monday. I get pumped about this every year; this year there’ll be fewer movies for us (my next course falls right in the middle of the festival), but I still look forward to the buzz the city gets.

Finally sorted through all the pictures. Just under 700 usuable ones. Whew! I should be able to upload them sometime this week while I’m reading all my HR crap. In the meantime, here’s one of my favourites:

I should have the rest up somewhere soon. Haven’t yet decided which ones I’ll share, and how. Stay tuned.

Hooray for schoolwork. I have to read 127 pages of HR and write a six page paper by next Monday. Oh, and I have two summerlicious dinners (one tomorrow evening, one the day the paper’s due), and a friend visiting from out of town on Friday.

I guess I’m paying the penalty for a two-week vacation now…

Willie Nelson to release reggae album. Also: cats and dogs to live together.

Ah, back to the crap. I have a small assignment due Monday, so I had to get back to (school) work today. I also realized that I have a larger paper due a week from Monday, and haven’t even begun reading any of the material yet. Whee.

The other night my wife asked me if I’d seen the video for Jessica Simpson‘s remake of “These Boots Are Made For Walkin” yet. Of course I hadn’t, but I had read a few snippets of news surrounding the controversy over it. I knew that she’d sexed up the video, that Christian groups (who claim she used to represent them) were upset about it, and that her handlers were so unoriginal that they had to rip off Paris Hilton’s sexy-car-washing shtick. So this morning I watched it, and I can safely say this: Jessica Simpson is a talentless whore.

We already knew the talentless part; the whore thing is just fairly new.

So full…so tired…must go to sleep soon. The chocolate torte was delish.
