Hey, I got an iPod! Here’s what I do when I put it on:

I propose a new law that will increase the minimum age for selling and possessing tobacco and tobacco-related products in Canada by one every year. If the new law took effect in 2010, as of 2025 the minimum age would be 33; in 2050 it would be 58.

This will keep that monkey off the backs of people born in the 21st century, while not restricting the freedoms of those who are already addicted and cannot stop. A kind of “grandfather clause” for those who want (need) to smoke, get VERY put out when their addiction is threatened, but don’t want their kids smoking. We all know that Big Tobacco doesn’t give a shit about children getting addicted; it’s their future income.

Let’s keep this 20th century scourge from addicting the future.

(Now, does anybody know how laws get passed?)

Well, I’m glad I don’t have to go through a vasectomy more than once. A minor procedure, but very uncomfortable. The recuperation has been faster than advertised, though, with me being able to stride about with minimal discomfort the day after. The itching around the stitches is the worst part, but since the thread is water-soluble it should be gone tomorrow morning.

The best part will be not having to use condoms — well, after three more months and a final test to make sure the procedure was successful, anyway.

Downloaded and finished the F.E.A.R. single player demo. It’s very good. It uses the DOOM3 engine, but you can actually use the flashlight while you have your gun out (gasp)! It also allows you to use your superior reflexes to slow down time a la The Matrix or Max Payne.

The weapons are cool; I like the particle weapon, which flash-fries the enemy. The storyline is creepy, and there are a couple “what the–?!” freakout moments in the demo. Not too short; just enough to whet your appetite.

Eagerly awaiting the full game.
