Yurkos song of the day: Such Great Hights - by The Postal Service

"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."

Up at 2:40am in the morning for no really good reason, completly sobre and lots to do tomorrow so what else should i do but make a very long coming blog? Sleep is of course not an option. Of course like always i dont really have much to say or to go on but I have almost let this site lapse into a deadened state that well it deserves something doesnt it?

Great song today by another one of those groups that ive really taken a liking too. Bit behind the times on them though, there all pseudo mainstream etc but whatever, its not like im claiming to be the first person to discover them or anything. Kudos to all who have heard them before and to the rest of you take a listen because nothing gets more mellow and cool at the same time. Also a truly hilarious, witty and well great quote from Groucho Marx today who is one of those great people that i would just love to be able to live up to. Nothing would be more fitting for myself (or at least i think so) to be able to whip off such witty lines at the drop of a hat. Ah if only...

Over this downtime of no posts ive added a few new links around the site. Now you will see links to such sites as The Scumm bar, a great site devoted to a truley great game series. That being the Monkey Island string of games which i urge all of you to try and play, download or hopefully and miraciously find and buy. Next would be a link to another blog, called The Grumpy Gamer which is not so co-incidentally done by the guy who created the previously mentioned game series along with a slew of other games that i thourougly enjoy. Very funny guy but it is a very video-game themed site so if your not really into all that you probably wont get any of it. I also added a link to the site for the up and coming Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy movie. It looks amusing but im somewhat aprehensive about this one because the books were just brilliant (in my limited somewhat skewed perception of brilliance). Hopefully its good but no one can know till it comes out. Finally i switched up Giacomo's link at the top for the one to jenn's new pseudo not really a blog site thing. Sorry giacomo if your reading this but well you update even less than i do so it got the boot.

What has happened since the last blog went up? well like the old cliche that my life is becoming and to a very large extent this site i am sure quite a bit but i cannot remeber as i am writing this. School still remains the tiring monster that it has always been, but well that in itself is nothing shocking. What will be shocking is if i pass this 2,000 word research essay on pride and prejudice. Stupid Jane Austen and her writing of books. Other than that nothing intersting school wise has occured. As for residence stuff well there is a bit more. Since the time of my last posting our tour in residence had the annual event known for some reason or another as "Skulk." Dont ask me why because hell if i know. What it boils down to is everyone doing rather stupid things in a competition for your floor to win stuff. Like going on a campus bar pub crawl on a wednesday night (whee that was fun...) or tequila sunrise (getting up at 5am, running up and down 10 flights of stairs and doing a shot of tequila). The two best events out of all of it mostly for the memories they made was the largest ongoing event and mystery lake. The longest ongoing event was well out back of lister they have an outdoor skating rink and apart of the skulk tradition is that every night from 8-8 the next morning you have to have someone from your floor on the ice at all times. Yes so nothing will make for a more interesting University experience than sitting on an outdoor hockey rink at 2am in the morning playing texas-hold'em poker against 9 other poor saps all in the same boat as you. I challenge you to come up with something more unique, stupid but not degrading and if you do well i tip my hat. Longest night of my life/roughest next morning of my life because my shift was a tuesday night and well yeah. Fun none the less though (damn poker, so bloody addictive).
The best part of Skulk was by far the culminating event, Mystery Lake. Or as it is more affectionatly referred to, Drink a Small Town Dry. The basic premise is that all of Henday hops into busses which take us out to some small non-descript town and its local bar and try to well drink it dry. I cant recall the name of the town but man was the Rush Sport's Bar a quality drinking establishment. What a crazy night, and the addition of there being some locals in the bar when we all came in made it all worthwile. Sounds kinda cruel in some ways, damn uppity university kids crashing a bar but hey it was fun, we probably gave the place more buisness in one night than it would see in a month and no one got hurt. Definetly a memory for the ages. Plus going in lab coats and lab glasses made it all the more abusurd (ahh im a loser, but hey life goes on).

Well that is more or less the end of all this. A few parting comments mostly that you know you are completly immature and extremly bored when you go halfway across the city to get food, liquor etc. you know the esentials and instead end up coming back with nerf guns and video games. The only plus from all of that was that when we got back and then proceded to get in the elevator that decides to get stuck, the nerf guns definetly helped pass the hour waiting for the repairmen to show up. Yeah well im a loser, it was already pointed out so live with it. Finally, today i picked up my ticket for The Killers concert in april which i am expecting to be nothing short of amazing. Had planned on going in calgary but it comes between my last two finals so ill be forced to see them up here in the frozen arctic. No matter though, it should be good fun to see them live and well worth the 30 bucks. Speaking of concerts I am extremly dissapointed/pissed off to no end that U2 is only doing 1 canadian date on the first leg of their tour and its in bloody Vancouver. They had better do a show in calgary or edmonton (hopefully on the eventual second or third leg) because this was one concert tour that i really wanted to see even before there new album came out. Sadly though even if they do come ill probably not go because appearantly all the tickets for all there events on this tour have been selling out in a matter of hours which is just too hard to compete with what with my cronic lazyness.
and now that my head is starting to hurt from staring at the monitor for so long i bring this to a half hearted close.

Till Next Ramble,

The Amazing, Boring Yurko
