We'll it was a wild ride. But Champagne D is gone. So many memories. It was as if she was taken away to young, only 145,000 clicks. Here's the condensed version of what happened.
Stolen from behind my apartment.
Cops are dicks.
Insurance Ajusters are con artists.
Fixed and in mint condition again.
One month goes by
Teenager in F-150 Rear ends it.
Cop are dicks
Someone steals it again from the parking lot behind my apartment.
Who steals a car that is clearly written off? A 1992 Chrystler Dynasty with a crumpled trunk?
I'm waiting to talk to the ajusters...

Salvia Divinorium
You may have recently heard about a plant called Salvia Divinorium. It's totally legal and is sold in extract form in marijuana stores around Canada. I encourage you to go out and try it. Just remember that you need only need about 1 or 2 hoots from a bong and no more. Unless you like scaring the shit out of yourself. Oh and make sure someone is watching you...

Soft Drugs
I saw this chart while surfing the internet, I thought it was pretty interesting.
I think it definately shows a distinction between soft drugs (Caffeine & Cannabis) and the hard drugs (Heroin, Alcohol, Cocaine and Nicotine).

New songs
-------------------------------------------------------->
There's a couple new songs in the music folder
Neil Young and Pearl Jam - Scenery
It's a FLAC file and it's 60 Mb
Chico Science & Nação Zumbi - Computadores Fazem Arte
It's a MP3 file about 6Mb
I saw Nação Zumbi in Rio last week, it was amazing. They had 5 drummers, a bassist, a guitarist and Fred Zero was singing through a sampler, so after he sung something, it would record in the sampler and he would be playing it back in slow motion or with tons of reverb and shit. I've never heard anything like that live.

Election Result
In my opinion the NDP party won the election. Neither the Alliance or the Liberals have enough seats to pass any bills. If they want any bills passed the will have to get the NDP seats on their side, which means satisfying Jack Layton's wants.
As for the GST cut. That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. A 1% cut in the GST? That would involve changing over thousands of older machines, not to mention a shitload of administrative work. For what? %1 GST cut. Yay Harper, thanks for saving me 1 cent on my can of coke.

Swearing In
Hmmm, I wonder if Steven Harper will have a indian purification ceremony at his swearing in like Paul Martin did. Maybe the Alliance has something else planned.
Election Day
I woke up this morning and saw Lynda Robertson on the news. She said that it was very important to vote, especially in this election. How could I not of voted after such a omen. So I went voted for the green party, then I smoked a joint.
Sidebar: I never actually saw the guy putting the ballot in the box. I gave it to him and he said "Thanks guy" and he just kept it in his hand. I started to walk away and looked back to see if he put put it in the box. I didn't see him do it though. I was thinking he might have just put it in his pocket if he didn't like who I voted for.

Congratulations
Congratulations to Chile on being the first country in the Americas to elect a female prime minister. I saw a news clip of her driving her own car to cast her vote, I thought that was pretty cool. Let´s hope that States doesn´t back a coup to murder her and install a brutal right wing dictator like they did the last time a socialist prime minister was elected in Chile.

Nice Waves
A nice swell started to roll in the last few days, so the waves have been sweet. The water on the other hand is cold as fuck for some reason. You can´t stand more than an hour in the water without a wetsuit. The were some locals shooting fireworks at people they didn´t know on the main peak. Leticia´s brother told after, I just thought it was a celebration of the good waves. hahh.

Canadian Politics
No posts....Summertime and the livin´is easy
With the election coming up I thought I´d decifer Canadian politics.
Conservative Party = Tax cuts, which means less government spending or more debt.
NDP = Government spending, which means higher taxes or more government debt
Liberal party = A little bit of both, and a little in Paul Martin´s pocket
Green Party = The 3 other parties sucks.

Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice is coming soon. December 21st to be exact. If you are not a astronomer you can just refer to it is a the most depressing day of the year. I woke up this morning and the sun was already setting. But hey look at the bright side, after the 21st the days are just going to get longer. Especially if your travelling to the southern hemisphere on vacation ;)

24p
If you know what 24p is read on, if you don't know don't waste your time;
I think 24p is kind of cheezy. It doesn't have a film look, that's forsure. But the slower shutter speed is a pretty cool effect. What I don't understand is why only 24 frames per second. It would be a lot cooler if it was variable, 20 frames, 21 frames.....60 frames. That would make for some cool footage. Your never going to duplicate or outdo film trying to mimic it. You have to create something that film can't do.
As for the progressive, now that's actually cool, because fucking around with deinterlacing shit is a waste of time and video quality. 60p is the way to go. Amazing video quality and amazing for slow motion.

Sattelite Image of South America
I linked the booba and kiki wrong, it is supposed to say that 98% of people choose the spiky one to be kiki and the purple one to be booba. It proves that people relate sounds to shapes. Read more...
