Last summer, amidst my 200 flicks that I watched in June, one of the memorable ones was "Tape." It stars Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Robert Sean Leonard. It's all about 3 high school buddies who meet in a motel room and painfully remember their shared memories. Ethan is a drug dealer, Robert is a film director in town for a festival, and Uma works at a (Doctor's?) office in town. Amidst the awkward setting of the motel, there is also a history of relationships that involves the...

Ever since I got back from Guelph, I've had a jonesin' for some Zuma. Jess and Tama finally lay the blame on me for disrupting their lives, and frankly I'm glad the curse has finally found a home. I love that game, and I'm not afraid to share the, "joy?" When we were walking around Watson, I could hear the "rewind" sound and the ever increasing clink of disappearing Zuma balls from other rooms. I tried to hold back my laughter as Tink asked Hairman, "Have you got the full version yet? Or ...

Today, my mom took off work so that we could work through our taxes, in order to get the right financial information that I need for my bursary applications. I'd tell you about those bursary applications, but oh wait. They were lost. I went through and filled out all of my appropriate files, and found out that my return will only be a measly 45 bucks. Thank you union dues. Im looking forward to my end of year payback, where my union must send me all of the cash I forked over to them throug...

Last night at around 1am, I spent 25 minutes writing a stream of concious article. It was about how crappy my day was, and also included some of my opinions on what was happening in my city. I submitted the article only to be shown a "504 Gateway Timeout." I figured Joeuser was acting up again. It's happened to me so many times, that I decided to just go back to my article, copy it and then submit it later. But Fuck no. I go back and I get a "Site does not exist." page. Not only do I lose 3 p...

Is it true that you all have lives and therefore, have to sleep at night? I look over at the Recent JoeUser Articles and see that 5 out of the 10 articles are mine!!!! Are there no other people who can't fall asleep and decide to whine into the nothingness of the web? Is this why no one gives me any feedback on any of my articles? They are washed out with the morning blog rush? I always thought that the Internet never slept. It was an ever changing, constantly upgrading world where the dr...

I just noticed that Urban Faery and I, occupy site numbers: 23 and 24. She is on top, and I'm on the bottom. Maybe we'll switch positions later on this week, but with the response to her articles that she gets, I hardly see how this will happen. Maybe we will just "Bump and Grind" our way to the top together.

Last night at 3am, the green cloak of technical difficulties left my world and I discovered that "The Green Channel" is back on the air. I was flipping through the channels after I got home from work when I found myself looking at an episode of Camp Cariboo. When I was a kid, it was always just ending when I got home from school for lunch, and frankly I couldn't stand the show. I had watched it as a tot, but had developed a hatred for the half-assed production values. Now, however, I...

Last weekend I went to Guelph for Tink's formal. I'm not one to turn down a party, especially one where I get to spend the night with Tink. I spent Thursday night putting together a small movie for Tink, which I inevitably lost after my computer crashed (WHEN WILL I EVER LEARN TO SAVE!?!?!?), and left all of my packing until Friday morning. I ended up sleeping in past my alarm and showering and packing within a 20 minute timeframe. I almost forgot to pack my fancy shoes, but was able to grab ...

Today was my father's 75th birthday. For his age, he's been able to do a lot of stuff that you wouldn't expect out of an old guy. Last summer he walked 3Km to the beach everyday and swam in the lake for about 2 hours, then took the bus home. This winter he spent the majority of his time, out shovelling snow, even though we warned him about his recurrent pneumonia. In the last week however, he took a bad fall, and has resorted to walking with a cane. It seems like it will now be a permament...

Every since I posted the infamous Al Pacino-Shannon Elizabeth seperation question, I've found myself with a state of "Connector's Block." Normally, this one gives me trouble but I seem to get through it in about 5 or 10 minutes. Last night, however, after 20 minutes of pondering I was left with nothing more than an incomplete Jim Carrey-Eugene Levy link. I had a feeling that Catherine Keener was the key to the link, but I still didn't have all the steps. Tonight, my heachache came to a bri...

Mr. Pignon. Mr. Pignon!!! AH HA! AH HA! Now that that's out of the way, (cue the Jo Schmo Tape) I have been recently informed that Fuckin Nick Cage, The Family Man himself, is set to play Ghost Rider. (PLAY) What is going on? I also have found out that there will be a sequel to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, simpled titled LXG2. L et's e X aggerate for G iggles 2. There will also be "Jurassic Park IV: The Lost Audience." I hear the title is still being reworked. I do want to ...

After posting a comment on the post "Forgot to sign out," which was actually made by Urban Faery (for those of you who didn't quite grasp the title), I've decided to let Joeuser in on a little secret. If you don't quite understand what I say sometimes, don't worry! My best friend of 13 years still doesn't have a clue what I'm talking about at times, and even Urban is sometime lost in some of my back alley references. I love to play the game Six Degrees before I go to bed, but I normally en...
