The Hardcore Mind

Where you can read the relatively rational ramblings of a silly half-monkey, half-boy. This freak of nature is named Joel. He also responds to the name 'Bart Wang'.

Greetings from my new home! Well, this blog spot is the same but my actual physical residence is different. Got the whole Internet back in the house. Pheew. It seems to be pretty fast (I switched from cable to DSL). Looking forward to getting the satellite hooked up next week. Not that I've watched more than one half hour of TV every day since I moved. I think one day I watched an hour. That's it. I just watch 'Sportscentre' (formerly known as 'Sportsdesk') on TSN in the morning before I go to work. I like to catch up on what happened the previous day in the wide world of sports.
It's late and I won't stay up much longer. I'm supposed to hook up with Taxman to work out in the morning and then I'm driving to Simcoe (about an hour or so away) to see a co-worker/friend get married. I gotta pack some new tunes because I've been listening to the same ones for weeks. Tonight, I played through Ben Folds Five 'Naked Baby Photos' and began 'Call It What You Want' by L.A. Symphony. Speaking of music, I'm rapidly developing an appreciation for The Cure. Did I mention this already? I can't recall. I downloaded their 'greatest hits' album and it is killer. So many good songs. I owned a tape of 'Disintegration' in grade seven because my friend, Jay Adshade, liked them. I remember digging that album. I foolishly destroyed it in my religious zeal a couple years later. Now I have to buy the 'greatest hits' album as well as that one (I'd also like to grab 'The Head On The Door').
Tonight, I went out for dinner at Chap's and stuffed myself with Santa Fe chicken fingers. Mmmmm, delicious. Shared the evening with the intelligent Steve-o, the insightful Taxman, the intellectual Paul Rogers, the interesting Chad, the intriguing Cheri-lynn and the imaginary Al Horning. Afterwards, we booked it to the movie theatre and caught the late showing of the first night for 'Shaun Of The Dead'. It was awesome. So many hilarious parts as well as suspenseful moments. Got a little serious near the end but overall it was a fabulous movie. Definitely check it out. Nightie night!
