I have been feeling kind of weird lately, kinda feeling like my life is a ball of twine that I dropped a few months ago and I've been trying to roll it all back into something comprehensible since then. But enough about me, let's talk about ManBabies.

When things are a bit screwy it's nice to know that someone out there has invented the ManBaby, like a LolCatz picture only for the seriously fucked up (and bored at work). The idea? Take a picture of a man holding or interacting with a baby and switch the heads around. That's right, fearsome and funny like you wouldn't believe.

Also and pleasantly, these images give me the feeling that even if I haven't opened an official looking envelope in about 5 months, and even though I keep saying I have work to do and then going to the gym for about 2.5 hours to sing gay dance songs under my breath and pretend jumping to the bass-beat = mastery of life's challenges. Despite my own ineptitude, there are people out there Photoshopping men's heads onto babies bodies! SO in fact I am doing okay.

Anyways, check it out...

These are my favorites:

When all else fails, stare at some ManBabies.

I was just searching the McGill classifieds for a used flat-screen monitor when I came across this post:

NEW APPLE IPHONE AND IPOD TOUCH, NEW BLACKBERRY, NEW VERSACE PURSE
Posted Friday, May 2, 2008
My brothers gave me an apple iphone, apple ipod touch, a blackberry and a versace purse along w some other stuff, but i already have an iphone, don't need the blackberry and i have too many versace purses already!......they are all brand new in their box/wraps.....want to sell them.....make me an offer......

Don't you hate when that happens?? The other day my brothers gave me a portable DVD player, a pair of D&G sunglasses and a wallet full of credit cards. But I already have those! So I am selling them to the public at rock-bottom prices. Thanks Bros' next time just get me a Chapters gift certificate okay?

So Geoff Ryman one of my favorite SF authors *ever* gave a keynote address here, in Montreal on April 29th 2007. Yep, one day after my birthday last year, my favorite author was in this city, talking about Mundane Science Fiction.

Not that I am like bitter or anything, hells no, blurgh.

Sarah who always posts these great links - just posted this 37 Signals post on FB; Urgency is Poisonous about a companies decision to move to a four day work week, and how much they are enjoying it. It not only because it supports a theory I have about how full-time work is pretty bluhh... But I also like it for the comments which are replete with a bunch of work addicts basically asking - "but how many hours are people actually working?" And the writer repetitively saying, "I don't care how many hours people work, I care that they get the stuff they need to get done, done." Finally winding up saying - most people in an eight hour workday actually do four hours of work. That's one of those little truths that needs to be said *way* more often, and not in the sense of - how can we stop people from telling knock knock jokes at work, but in the sense of how can we realize that the number of hours a person spends working is not the ne plus ultra of life.

I was just leaving a comment about Steven's insanely accurate new rating system:

Yeah I know - move over stars here comes Steven and his taffy apple.
