I’m willing to bet that there is no other country as obsessed with discussing concussions as we are here in Canada. Yes, head trauma is serious business here in the true north strong and free from minor brain injury. A quick search of the Globe and Mail for “concussions” yields 4621 articles, so there you [...]

The other night, I actually had the television on, and while flipping through the channel guide to see just how much wasn’t worth watching, I noticed Grey’s Anatomy.  To be honest, I had kind of forgotten that show existed.  I think I was probably better off before. But it got me to wondering: After six [...]

Imagine my surprise to find that in my absence from the blogging world, Blogger has made it immensely simpler to post photographs. As we used to say back in the Navy: Huzzah! And so, I have made a decision. It is time to change my profile photograph. The old one, commonly known as “The Best [...]

The last few days have been so damn hot that I finally went on the internet to find out just how hot it really was. As of 7:00 PM it was still 34 degrees Celsius (stinkin’ hot, Fahrenheit). Now, that’s not so bad for the middle of a desert, but I think the 56% humidity [...]

Well, this is a new one on me. A while back, I was at the local veterinarian’s office with the Soph-Star. She had rescued a tiny, abandoned kitten from the middle of the road, and I had tagged along to ask about my animal-magnetism, which seemed to be flagging of late. The vet assured us [...]

To all my well-meaning and otherwise, very intelligent friends: If you think that the email forward you are sending me is a hoax, but you’re sending it anyway, just in case, I’ll let you in on a little secret: It’s a hoax. There is absolutely no way that Microsoft, were it even possible to track, [...]

I am drunk with post-purchase euphoria, basking in the novelty of a new toy. Yes, I have finally bitten the proverbial, yet still dangerous, bullet, and bought a laptop. I’m now making my first post from my snazzy, chrome and silver, 17 inch screen (which admittedly decreases portability… but it’s sooo pretty), Dell Inspiron 9300. [...]

This post serves a dual purpose. One, it serves to break the latest silence on the blog, which is difficult, because I always feel I have to come back in with a bang. But while I’m on the subject, I just wanted to thank everyone for continuing to check in. I was scoping out my [...]

An old faded advert, on the side of a building… Serve Your Guests Whizz! Dip and Drink! I don’t even want to speculate on that last part.

Happy New Year Everyone! The creative content, publishing and editorial teams, along with all the rest of the staff of The Artsaypunk (ie: Me and the altered egos) would like to wish you and yours (your what? I have no idea) a very prosperous, non-phosphorus, phantasmagorically fantastic year. And here’s hoping that Aught-Six shakes down [...]
