In the End, It's All About the Waitresses - Uninformed Comment. February 7th, 2008. 11:21 am - In the End, It's All About the Waitresses. Now, absolutely everything I invested in last year, including the usually reliable, boring Saskatchewan Pension Plan. Lost money. It hasn't been this bad since I decided the Asian Financial Crisis. Are losing money just as badly as the Unethical ones, so that's out. One of the Daves-I-know. Is really into these Labour Sponsored Investment Funds. Isn't so bad, but the r...

The Return of Roderick and Naomi - Uninformed Comment
http://cja120.livejournal.com/16617.html
The Return of Roderick and Naomi - Uninformed Comment. September 15th, 2007. 07:44 am - The Return of Roderick and Naomi. Someone told me my old picture - the fake "sketch" style thing which cuts off the top of my head - makes me look like "a middle-aged balding lecher" or something like that. I'm not balding, so for the moment we're back to good ol' Roderick Chisholm. Who remains a stock figure of intellectual probity in my world. Also, in case anybody missed it: Naomi Klein.

Where I'm At - Uninformed Comment
http://cja120.livejournal.com/17982.html
Where I'm At - Uninformed Comment. July 2nd, 2009. 11:08 pm - Where I'm At. So where I'm at, literally, is in Peterborough, Ontario. It is of course the story of how I got here, and why, that's the telling part. I think it would be cool if I could assign a theme for each year of my life. 2007, for example, was the Year I Didn't Die. Now, I didn't die in 2008 either and 2009 –.

Of Strange Dreams - Uninformed Comment

Of Strange Dreams - Uninformed Comment. March 18th, 2008. 10:24 pm - Of Strange Dreams. I am for some reason thinking about that bit in Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Where they come across a section of the world where dreams come true. Not dreams as in hopes and aspirations, dreams as in stuff that goes down in your head when you're asleep. Even at a very young age I could tell this was going to be trouble. On an unrelated note, here's Iggy and the Stooges.

The Great Crack-Up - Uninformed Comment. October 6th, 2007. 10:01 am - The Great Crack-Up. Courtesy of Andrew Potter. Compare and contrast the pulling apart of the Republic coalition under George W. Bush (see previous posting. With the self-immolation of the Liberal Party of Canada under Stephane Dion.
