Continuing Holiday Coverage
Yesterday I went out with a few friends and played pool. I'm a lot shyer with my camera in Edmonton, so some people who were there werent in photos. Also, i didnt take any photos at the seedy bar we started at. Which puts your "seedy" Vancouver bars to shame.
We used to play pool a lot in grade 10. Like every day after/during school. EVERY day. I never liked it. either because I'm bad or because apparently it's very dangerous.
I only really talk to girls in Edmonton anymore. Which is odd. Chris is a film student in Montreal. I'm pretty sure he knew Shoel but I dont talk about it.
I need to get my new pair of glasses to outweigh my feminine haircut.
P.S. we were maybe trying to take a good picture here
Top 2 Things You Don't Want to Hear About Your Former Arch-Nemesis:
1. She's dating a 36 year old Green Beret
2. He has proclaimed she is "a great shot"
Holiday Goals:
I've lost my inspiration for writing and have now fallen well behind my goals. I'm hoping to make up for it soon. Only 5 treatments behind (ONLY!).
To that effect I pose a question dear readers...
Do i hold any interesting opinions? Like anything out of the ordinary? What am I passionate about? What idea makes you think "Oh yeah, Cam"?
I'm running out of things I care about.
Holiday Viewing:
I'm on a "catch up with the past decade or so of british comedy" kick this season so thusly here are some choices of Holiday Viewing (with links to the torrents for them)
The League of Gentlemen Christmas Special:
The league of gentlemen's show started off a weird Horror/Comedy mix but between the 2nd and 3rd series (represented here) they became quite strange and character focussed and started producing almost mini-movies. Here is a kind of holiday based Tales from the Crypt/Darkside/Vault of Horror thing with some actual well plotted out and whimsical horror shorts. It wont be AS enjoyable as if you knew the characters but it actually might be funnier with a whole lot of "wha?" moments.
Knowing me, Knowing Yule with Alan Partridge
Steve Coogan is a genius. So much so Courtney Love claimed he was the father of her love child once. So good. This isn't as good as the "I'm Alan Partridge" series , but still fantastic and christmas based. Oh yeah
Cam's Lame Modern Holiday Traditions:
While spending the holidays tooling around home i've realized a few traditions have popped up for me since I moved away, here they are
1. Don't call people for a week.
2. Watch love , actually about 1000 times.
3. Get depressed about my friend's exciting lives
4. Get mysterious illness
but seriously, the strangest i think, and has gone on for the past 3 years:
5. Catch up on "Nip/Tuck"
Anyone who thinks "The O.C." or "Boston Legal" or "South Park" is a guilty t.v. pleasure clearly hasn't experienced "Nip/Tuck".
Imagine TLC surgery grossout/freakshows mixed with "Passions"-calibre crazy ass soap opera plotlines mixed with raunchy F/X sex and you're about half way there.
Oh and it stars The guy from congo, a former australian prime minister's son, The lowest level Richardson sister (though Vanessa Redgrave does appear as her mother on the series (weird)) and special recurring roles by real-life superbitch Famke Jannsen, Joan Rivers (as herself) and Anne Heche. It's madness and it ends right before christmas so it's easily downloadable.
THis season alone involves gorillas, serial killers, anal rape, threesome relationships, transexual golden showers, the witness protection program and secretly making a skin creme out of semen.
I highly suggest you all adopt this tradition and sink to the depths of media viewership with me.
Hells yeah?
Have a Merry Holiday
I hope the way you celebrate is the way where you get presents

I am so ridiculously excited for the Nip/Tuck finale, but i'll have to wait until i get back to watch it, i can't imagine my parents approving of that show even if i can find it on tv here.
My holiday traditions that have already been fulfilled: Watch "It's a Wonderful Life" with Mom while Dad complains and falls asleep; See my friends calling me on caller ID and purposefully not answer; go to bed before midnight.
i'm ultra cool
