Yurkos song of the day: Pinball Wizard - by The Who

"Not baked goods, Professor, baked bads!"

Quite possibly the lamest quote I have ever used for an opening line but well I am inherently lame so life does press on. Also in retrospect there is a very good chance I have used that quote before but do I care? Not enough to change it thats for sure. Normally I would wait a touch longer to put up a new post what with there being only 2 comments thus far, plus the whole fact that its christmas eve but hey not only was it a very dissapointing post to begin with but I am leaving tomorrow on mein vactation to that place starting with an M, rhymes with Exico... you know the place, you were there, I was there, ahh good times...goood times. Needless to say i probably wont be around a computer so I felt i should leave you with something to not read. Consider it my gift to all of you because the Black Death doesnt come in the party packs anymore and well ill be damned if i buy you each a diseased rat separately.

I have realised that most likely my 1 year or something along those lines anniversary of doing this junk has came and gone. Then again i have never really went by date on these things but rather the number of posts. Thanks the the all benevolent Blogger though i cant really do that either because there once helpful little counter of how many blogs you have written decided that 94 is far enough and went and found a nice little retirement cottage somwhere down south. All that can be done is the very slow process of a manual count and I am not about to do that any time soon. So just for the sake of saying things lets say its some evenish number and let out a half assed huurah!

Good song today, an oldie but a goodie. Felt it was time to do at least one song that hasnt been released in the last little while because well whats this world coming too if all i talk about is modern music. Like comon this is Yurko im talking about...(talking about myself? hmm mefinks ive gone crazy). Dont worry though ill be sure to put more of the new music goodness that I have learnt about. Moving onwards!

Well it is obviously the festive time of year such and so forth. Dont really think i need to extoll any of its detals to you folks because if you dont know now what its all about im pretty certain either TV or the Coca-cola corporation will fill you in. I must say though that i was pretty happy with teletoon and their decision to show all their weekend programming every day leading up to today. Allowed myself to take a great deal of both the new duck dogers and the new batman shows. Both damn funny/cool respectivly and since i never have time to watch them in edmonton i was well happy.

Sticking with the Batman theme I completly forgot to mention this last post so i might as well now. The good folks at Warner Bros. have released the new, extented trailer for the up and coming Batman Begins film which I am obviously very pumped for. Of course im guessing that none of you have ever checked the link i have had on the side there for a good 4 months. Comon people its only like 15cm to the left of this its not that hard. Just click the damn thing and watch the trailer... Fine then here is a "more convenient" link for you...lazy sobs... Batman Begins Trailer
Seriously though its pretty damn cool so take a look.

Man the Salmon of Doubt is by far one of the saddest books i have read in a very long time for obviously very different reasons. Not obvious you say? Well i would start calling you a dumbass but then well somehow i think my already shrinking readership would start to suffer. Aaannywho its a sad book because it was the last one that douglas adams wrote and for that matter never finished before he died back in 2000. A real shame because it begins as one of his best, well in my opinion anyways because im such a fan of the Dirk Gently books and its truly funny...and yet never will i know how it ends. Sigh.

Ah well that pretty much wraps it up for me because i tire of this post, marks are yet to come in so i cant complain about that. Hope everyone has a merry christmas/snowflake day/festivus and see you all in the new year.

Till Next Ramble,

The Amazing, Boring Yurko

P.S. Just came across quite possibly THE best background in a long while, esp for the holiday season. If you dont get it well i recomend you read more of VG cats Dr. Hobo's Christmas
