Not Much to Say - BOOOOORRRRRINNNNGGGG

Oh, lakesuperioritycomplex.
Where for art thou, lakesuperioritycomplex?

I know that's what y'all been saying.  Well, to be perfectly honest, I've been one boring little beaver lately.  I've just been lazing about and not having any northern adventures. 



Perhaps it's the lack of sunlight that has me housebound?  Or maybe I've done everything that there is to do in the north?  Don't worry - I'll go snowshoeing sooner or later.

In the meantime, watch these Public Service Announcements until I have an adventure that's worth reporting on.

All We Want Is Life Beyond The Sports Dome

On Boxing Day, the Thunder Bay Sports Dome deflated, much to the chagrin of local jocks and sports-bunnies.
One of the main concerns expressed by the public in the face of this mysterious incident was "is the sports dome safe?  Will it collapse while my family and I are trying to putt on the mini course?"

Well, your family would have to be pretty shitty at escaping if they were killed in a freak sports dome deflation.  It goes less like this...

 

And more like this...but about 40 minutes slower.



The power of the dark side of The Force deflates you.

If you opened the link at the start of this post and read the comments on the news article, you will find that the people of Thunder Bay are really mad that the CLE (Northern Ontario's answer to the Canadian National Exhibition) isn't as good now as it was in the 70s and it's all thanks to the Sports Dome.  Thunder Bay - holding grudges about penny carnivals since the 70s.  It's the new town slogan.

This is Your Brain on Music - Part Deux

This is for all my music nerds out there.  Be proud that you were in band!!  It prepared you for the rest of your disappointing life.



Bobby McFerrin rose from the grave for a very special event at the World Science Fair this year where he demonstrated the global prevalence of the pentatonic scale. 
For those of you who chose to be cool in high school and weren't in band, a pentatonic scale is a 5 note scale that spans an octave.  If you need more information about an octave, watch this informative video.



Check out Bobby leading the crowd in a song they didn't even know they knew (don't worry, be happy - it's not "Don't Worry, Be Happy").



After it was over, he ate the brains of a few audience members.  Oh Bobby, you crazy zombie!!

Happy New Year From Lake Superiority Complex!

It's 2010 and although humankind is not likely to launch a mission to Jupiter in order to further understand our place and purpose on this planet in order to fulfill some sort of celestial plan, we do have this inspiring film to look forward to in 2012.

Despite the state of the world today, it's nice to see that people are committed to recycling and keeping Jackie Chan employed.  Thanks Xenu!




To properly say goodbye to 2009, check out this humourous recap.  It's pretty US-centric, but we Canadians are just the United States' hat, right?
