Are You Ok Michael? You Look So…. Pale

Authorities issued a warrant yesterday for Michael Jackson’s arrest, based on multiple charges of molesting a child and asked the self declared King of Pop to surrender his passport and turn himself in.

Lethbridge Man Dies

A man was crushed to death outside the UFA farm store when he dived under a slow-moving semi-trailer to retrieve his baseball cap that was blown off in high winds. “The truck was rolling forward and he dove under to grab the hat. He tried to grab it and wiggle out quickly,” a witness said. He never made it.

Not to make light of a very sad situation, but to me, having your hat run over by a semi truck is a lot like dropping your keys in a river of molten lava. Forget ’em man, because they’re gone.

Newspaper Plants Fake Footman in Palace

Despite higher security with the arrival of Bush in London, or maybe because of it, reporter from the Daily Mirror yesterday revealed that using false credentials he got a job as a Palace Guard.

As conflicted as I feel about bringing attention to the Royal family (negative or positive) the details in this story are just too good to pass up.

On a semi-related note, George W. Bush just never ceases to amaze me. During his speech at the Banqueting House in Whitehall, Mr. Bush acknowledged that he is not a very popular visitor. “I’ve been here only a short time, but I’ve noticed the tradition of free speech, exercised with enthusiasm, is alive and well here in London. We have that at home, too.”

Need I say more?

I’m so tired

It’s 2:00 AM. I’m sort of done my animation for the DVD I have to burn tomorrow. My hands feel like they are going to fall off at the wrists they are so sore from using the mouse and keyboard all day. I’m so tired.

Stairway to Heaven Backwards Update

So I put up my counter around 10:30 last night and I’ve already gotten over 30 unique visitors. I realize 30 isn’t much compared to what a lot of sites get, but still 30 people in less than 24 hours? I must say I’m pretty happy.

Update (November 2003): I just realized that all the hits I got last night on the stairway to heaven thing don’t mean I’m always averaging that many hits, it just means that most likely I got all those hits after I told Andrew, a student in one of my classes, about the site and he likely told all his friends.

Update (November 2005): Looking at this post now is kind of funny considering I am currently averaging about 5000 unique visitors to my site per day. It’s amazing the changes that can happen in just two years.

Stairway to Heaven … BACKWARDS!

I’ve been getting a lot (relatively speaking) of attention lately from my backmasking flash page. I updated it so that it only shows the backwards lyrics after hitting a button and I added a page counter so that I can find out how much attention I’m really getting.

Edmonton wins Grey Cup, in other news, Americans shocked to discover Canada has own football league

No I didn’t watch the big game yesterday. I didn’t even watch the Simpsons. Mostly I worked on my 3D animation projectt and after my repetitive strain injury started to flare up, I watched a bit of Malcalm in the Middle and talked to Anna on the phone. I think this project is cool, but I wish I knew more about 3D Studio Max. I did find this great resource though – 3dcafe.com. I found what I was looking for under the free stuff button.
