Happy Canada Day!!

I think it's that time of the year when a lot of people in Canada realize they are the Canadians and start celebrating it, or something like that. They probably have the day off work, too. Would be cool if we Americans could have today off, so that we could properly plan our 4th of July barbecues which are coming up in like, I don't know, a week from now or something (I'm not good at math). I'm not sure what the Canadian people will do on their Happy Canada Day, but I have a few ideas of what goes down up there, given what I know about the few Canada people I am familiar with. So, they should probably be having fun right about now. At least I hope they are. Sometimes it's not easy being a Canada person, like when you can't access websites that stream US television shows online. Can you imagine a country with limited access to reality tv programmes? Yet it happens, and closer to home than we realize.

I love you, all the Canada persons in the world!

Wow, this feels weird. Haven't tried coming up with any prose in quite a while. Probably would've even forgotten how to type, if I didn't have a day job.

So, what have I been up to since the last blog post, besides too much work? Well, while I might not have been checking into SL® too frequently, I have been around the whole world wide web and back. And also, a lot of tv shows have been winding down their seasons, so I've had to stay on top of all that goodness. Oh, and another thing, I purchased an Acer AspireOne netbook, and while it may not have the power to run SL®, or any game other than solitaire really, it really is convenient and fun and I can't say enough good things about it. So, I use it for what it does best - email and surfing the net.

And as such, I decided to check out all sorts of social networking sites available, to see if any were actually cool, or maybe just all hype. Don't ask me all the ones I've tried out - there really are too many to list. Some are decent, some are lame, but I know I'll never have time to update them all, anyway. But from all my experience exploring the vast number of social networking options, I've realized, or confirmed for myself, that I really am at the core a natural voyeur. Seriously. What else could explain my fascination with all things reality-television, or that no matter how many social networking sites I sign up for, it always ends up with me just watching what other people are saying/doing more than participating myself. Kinda like blogs - I read all of yours, but don't feel the need to utilize my own. Okay, wait, now maybe I'm thinking I'm not so much a voyeur, but simply lazy. Good point, that could be argued either way....

Anyway, television season is rapidly winding down (my DVR queue is so bare and empty it pains me to check it each morning as the new episodes are fewer to be found) and as such, I'll probably go through another SL® phase for a bit, until the Summer reality season kicks into full swing (The Bachelorette and So You Think You Can Dance already, plus I'm A Celebrity and another Hell's Kitchen on the horizon... Not to mention Myg forcing me to keep up with The Cougar episodes, sigh).

Well, what I'm trying to say is, I should still have more free time to catch up with what's happening in-world these days. That is, if anything is happening...
