i've finished watching deadwood for the 5th time and my life is empty! it started in october, watching about 15 minutes each evening before going to bed. i can't wait until the fall to start watching it for the 6th time.
now the challenge is to find another series to cap off each evening. i'm open to suggestions.
a few weeks ago i watched "serenity" and that stimulated the firefly memories locked deep within my old brain so i'm half way through firefly at the moment. they say that time and luck are the two big movers and shakers in our universe. luck is the only reason i can think of that accounts for the fact that battlestar galactica became so feckin popular and firefly was cancelled after one season when in my mind firefly is a truly superior show. i think a bunch of snooty tv critics convinced people that battlestar had some social relevance and it became acceptable for respectable, snooty people to admit they watched it. battlestar was good but firefly was excellent.
i must have been hit by some gamma rays whilst riding the iron maiden and collecting empty beer cans (i collected 45 cents this morning) because like howard in the "mighty boosh" the jazz spirit within me has awakened. right now i'm going through a chet baker phase.
have you ever talked to the trees? it can be quite relaxing.
i love you sons of bitches.

yipee!!
it's a joyous day in casa myshkin!
my daughter passed her drivers license test! she's almost 22 years old and will graduate from university in april so she decided it was time to drive. when she turned 16 years old she wanted to drive so i took her out in the mighty corolla and tried to prepare her for the test. there was only one problem, she wouldn't practice. i almost had to beg her to get behind the wheel and when she did it usually resulted in an argument because she wouldn't listen to me. predictably she failed the drivers test so we decided to give it another try. after one or two lessons she wouldn't practice any more and took the test. she failed again. she got real pissed off and said; fuck it, i won't drive and that was the end of it.
fast forward to 2011. she made up her mind to get the license and signed up for lessons with an accredited driving school. once again i had to pull teeth to get her to practice. after completing the lessons she took the test and failed again. the tester said she was too cautious. we practiced and she took the test and failed again. the tester said she was too reckless. she was now really, really pissed off. she scheduled another test and i told her she had to practice every day for a week or else she couldn't use my car for the test. she practiced every day for a week and passed!!! i guess practice is important.
have i ever mentioned that i don't like cops?
here's another reason why, FUCKING DRUNK COP KILLS MOTORCYCLIST!
that's right, the fucking cop was drunk and killed a motorcyclist. after killing the motorcyclist he gave his drivers license to someone on the scene and went to his house for a drink of vodka and returned to the scene. the police couldn't give him a breathaliser because of the vodka he claimed to have consumed at home. now the fucking cop is on trial and denying it was all a ruse to beat the impaired driving.
here's the kicker. this is the same fucking cop who was in charge of the operation at the airport when a polish traveler was tasered to death for the crime of being lost. this fucking cop lied like a horse thief and was convicted of perjury because the whole fucking thing was recorded on the security cameras. he's been on paid suspension since 2008. to sum up, the prick has killed two people and still on paid leave!
that's why i hate cops!
time to mellow out a bit.

oxycontin
i don't know much about oxycontin other than it's supposed to be a real good drug if you want to get a buzz and rush the arsehole limbaugh seems to like it a lot. i was taken by surprise by a newspaper article about HEALTH CANADA'S DECISION TO STOP FUNDING OXYCONTIN FOR FIRST NATIONS. (first nations is the politically correct name for indians in canada)
when i read the headline i thought, "good idea, why should the indians get free oxycontin when other's have to steal, rob and prostitute themselves to pay for it" if you can't be bothered reading the article, it says up to half the indians in northern ontario are addicted to oxycontin. holy shit, that's a lot of stoned indians! obviously our government officials and the indian chiefs have known about this for a while but i guess they decided to sit back and see what happens when half the indians are fucking junkies!! i'd be willing to bet that the indian chiefs were making a few bucks out of all this. our government gives billions to the indians but most of them live in abject poverty. it seems the chiefs have a lot a administrative costs that prevent them from passing much money down to the braves. so what the fuck, give them some oxycontin!
we are being warned of a mass withdrawal crisis when the oxycontin quits flowing.
i sure as christ hope these oxy addicted indians aren't home schooling their kids.
i love you sons of bitches.

rick the prick
the first time i saw rick santorum on tv he gave me the creeps. a religious prick in a sweater vest who seemed to have a string in his back like an old chatty cathy doll. pull the string and you'll get one of 12 religious, right wing adages. the kind of guy i wouldn't trust my kids with when they were tykes.
then i happened to click on one of those 10 facts about arseholes in a newspaper and learned he has a shit load of kids and homeschools them all. i can think of no greater disservice to a child than homeschooling. think about it, stuck with your fecking parents all day and having to listen to their bullshit ad infinitum about every subject under the sun. the kids don't get to raise hell with the other kids at recess and learn all the tricks of the trade from their school mates. homeschooling is for the benefit of the parents not the child. i might be able to understand if the alternative was sending your kid to some ghettoized school full of crack addicts and gang members but good old rick has the means to send his kids to finest schools around.
after all this i learned that rick the prick was a lawyer for the world wrestling federation and was INSTRUMENTAL IN CHANGING THE WWF FROM A SPORT TO AN ENTERTAINMENT ORGANIZATION.
this saved vince mchahon and his cronies millions in fees to sports commissions and removed the wwf from mandatory drug testing of the wrestlers. so what happened? the era of steroids and dead wrestlers was born. thank you rick, may you rot in hell.
oh well, how about those wacky greeks?

$$$$ facebook $$$$
has anyone else been following the facebook ipo?
the sheer numbers being bandied about are mind boggling. about 850 million users and more than half of them use facebook on a daily basis. with an estimated market cap of over 90 billion bucks that makes each user worth about $125 to that zuckerberg huckster. he's gonna make mitt romney look like a piker in a few months.
i've dabbled in facebook and from the get go i could see that it was a cash machine. you give all your personal information then every keystroke you make is monitored and saved to target you with ads. every time someone clicks on the "like" button, the cash register goes ka-ching. it's brilliant, 90 billion bucks and no proprietary technology involved, just basic data mining and targeted ads.
i keep meaning to cancel my 2 bit account but i want to save that for a special occasion. one day i'll say, oh yeah, i'm cancelling my membership! in the meantime i'll drop by facebook from time to time and make a nuisance of myself. i haven't clicked on an ad yet and never intend to. on the other hand, i like bill gates so i'm always clicking on ads when i use hotmail. i like the google boys too so i'll click on ads when using gmail or google.
so what does facebook remind me of??
a bunch of MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES!
check out all 17 slides, those fecking snakes give me the creeps. sometimes it's nice to live in an area with a cool climate that won't support a bunch of motherfucking snakes.

ruby has competition
meet my new girlfriends; roxie, trixie and ginger.
i thought the bat cave needed a little sprucing up so i invested a few kopeks in art!
i hope the lovely mrs myshkin doesn't find out that i blew ruby's college fund on these lovely ladies.
hamlet had one big edge on me. his father's ghost told him exactly what he had to do. i am operating without instructions.
