February 28 Public Education at it's Finest. Today my brother was "Student of the Week" for the second time, which simply means they had cycled through all of the other students and had to start again lest they be unable to provide half-hearted pats on the back and generic platitudes at school assemblies. The last time he got the award was in December, Unfortunately, he wasn't there to accept the award as he had spent the last two weeks at home sick. They had decided he was student of the week the week he wasn't there, and the certificate he later got listed the reason for the award as perfect attendance. I lol'd. February 16 Fever Dreams I was sick Wednesday through Saturday, with fever, sore throat, and congestion, which made writing mid-terms not fun. Actually the whole weeks been pretty crappy as I've spent my regained healthy days writing papers. However, I have been sleeping a lot (more than 12 hours a day!), and I do enjoy my sleep! I had a dream Friday night that could have been the plot for Cool Runnings 2: Canadian Boogaloo. The Olympics were this year, and a bunch of new games were added last minute. Lacking the qualified athletes and hoping to avoid the embarrassment of having no one to compete, the olympic committee quietly traveled to western Canada universities looking for anyone to compete. Having almost no classes, and far too much time on our hands Ben-Gene and myself were selected to go. The first game we got to compete in was Ice Crokinole. An entire skating rink was turned into a giant crokinole board, and teams took turns throwing curling stones. The first round was against Argentina. The score was 0-0 with 3 throws left. Ben was up. He threw, and ended up hanging precariously over the centre hole. Argentina threw, and knocked his away a little. The last throw was mine. I threw. Argentina's was knocked out, Ben's was knocked to the very edge of the scoring area, and mine landed slightly within the scoring area as well. We had actually beaten someone and moved up in the rankings, it was more than anyone had dreamed possible. Triumphantly I struted around the olympic village, but quickly became lost. I couldn't find my next event, or the team Canada cabin. After a while I came across a drunken athlete who had lost their event. He peed on my shoes and i woke up. The next night I had a dream where Waterton lakes were dying. their water levels dropped to 10% and nothing alive was left in them. Biscotti and I were snowshoeing around checking them out and eventually came across a cabin. Inside Scojo was waiting and he had a cool videogame. it was a Co-op RPG and Biscotti was a huge hairy guy with an axe, I was a sword guy with blue hair, and scojo was a tiny woman magic user. Upon waking I took to the internet to see if an analagous game exsited for 360 or Wii, but sadly found nothing. Bed Time! ![]() February 10 If you'll excuse me it time for high tea a moon of Jupiter...I'm noticing a disturbing tend, try to stay with me:
Exhibit A - My mom tells me that CBC Radio is playing Genesis music, I eagerly tune in only to be disappointed when I don't hear 16 Bit Sonic the Hedgehog BGM's.
Exhibit 2 - I see a sign at the University reading "MSS Elections" Which I read as Miss Electrons and envision a physics beauty pagent. Quickly recalling that there is no such thing as a female physist, I start picturing a cross dressing Scott Jones. I then realize I'm almost on the other end of campus laughing all by myself.
Exhibit III - A few weeks after finishing Wind Waker for the 5th or 6th time I spot a flock of seagulls off in the sky. Without thinking I then nudge the person I'm with and tell them that there is a giant Ocktorok over there. It's not until seeing their puzzled reaction that I realize there was in fact not a giant Octopus in Lethbridge.
Exhibit Delta - A saw a man with a toddler watching the construction of the new building on campus. The kid was asking all sorts of questions and his father was doing his best to explain. Stopping and watching the construction all I could think was how tiny the people looked and I started wondering why they weren't just using giant robots to piece together the building.
Hypothosis: I'm losing my grip on reality.
Conclusion: Screw your reality, my world has giant octopuses and giant robots all set to sweet chiptune background music!
December 11 Dramatic! / Potatos!I'm gunna try to post an audio response to something Biscotti sent me on facebook, however should I fail I will instead use this space to discuss my feelings about potatos...
K, embeding isn't going well, but you can * listen to it from here. *
also, if you want a little reference *this is the link Biscotti sent me*
He said it reminded him of me...
I wanted to read one of the similar notes Nicole Peckem sent me in grade 7 which went something like:
hI niGel, I lik you, I lik your sHoes, and I rEally LiK you haiR tuday!
but I couldn't find any of those notes, so instead I picked out one of Bakers old emails.
Usually I wouldn't post someones email without permission but its just baker, he doesn't even know this place exists, and some other justification I'm forgeting (don't worry it was a good one)
Anyway on to the main event! I present to you my potato heiarchy, ordered from their best forms to their worst.

September 06 Hats I Need to AquireCaptains Hat
'cause its awesome.
on an unrelated note I always found it odd that Captain Crunch's eyebrows hovered over his hat, but I just now noticed that he tucks his hat in behind his eyeballs. Creepy.
Ninja Headband
Rambo had a headband like this, and if it can make a pink marshmellow look badass It mightbe able to do the same for pastey-scrawny bio-majors.
Furry Russian Hat
If I had this hat I would drink vodka and dance to the Tetris song (type A), and the world would be a better place.
Miners Hat
The most practical of hats, it provides light wherever you look and offers stylish hands-free operation, sure you could train a parrot to fly over your head with a flashlight, but this option is cheaper and avoids getting your hair full of uric acid.
Chain Chomp Toque
Can't have a list of hats without the great Canadian toque, and this a great toque. I still find it funny that the toque exsits all over the world but no other country has a word for it. The American site I got this pic from kept refering to it as a knitted cap, or a wool hat. How can you have a word for the plastic ends on a shoelace or toe knuckles but nothing to describe such an awesome type of hat?
Doctor's Headband
I have no idea what the purpose of the little circular mirror is, aside from distracting me while the doctor shoves a laser up my nose, but itsan iconic hat and it must be mine.
Shriner's Fez
and a tiny car too. The shriners were always the best part of any parade. I'm not sure what the shriners do ever other day of the year, but whatever it is, its gotta be awesome.
Link Hat
I'm pretty sure Link's hat defys physics, and I'm not sure how it stays on his head (magic?) but if its goodenough for the hero of time I'll wear it every day of the week, along with the chainmail and tunic. Not the tights though, never the tights.
Indiana Jones Hat
This hat is actually fairly easy to aquire, if you happen to have a hundred bucks lying around just use your whip to swing on over to thinkgeek and try to forget the fourth movie ever happened.
Pope Hat
How could someone with such an amazing hat look so bored? This hat may be the most difficult to get, especially since I'll need to be wearing the ninja headband when I storm the popemobile. I shouldn't say much more, but rest assured I've got elaborate plans drawn out on a napkin safely tucked away in my desk drawer.
Chef Hat
When the police identify my body after the house explodes from my attempts to make kraftdinner on a gas stove, there is nothing more I'd like my scorched remains to be wearing than the amazing tall 'n poofy chef's hat. If they also find my hand a block away still clutching a frying pan, that'd be cool too.
Space Marine/ Doom/ Samus/ Master Chef Helmet
Might look a little awkward without the rest of the suit, but thats a risk I'm willing to take, besides, no ones dumb enough to mess with spacemarines, except maybe Intergalactic bounty hunters and space pirates. Damn those space pirates.
Viking Helmet and/or Mythical Winged Helmet
Pirates are pansy-asses compared to Vikings. Squads of Ninjas fall at the hands of single Viking Warriors. Even Zombies shuffle away in fear. The horned/ winged helmet is the ultimate in headgear, no other hat can compare.
Hats I Do Not Need to Aquire
Fruit Hat
Noooo thankyou, you can go ahead and give this hat to Baker, It will go well with his pink "Ms. Timberlake" hat.
Did I miss a hat, let me know in the comments.
