For the past two weeks I have had almost complete freedom to do as I please. There have been a lot of errands to complicate things certainly, and my search for a house has definitely occupied a greater portion of the month, but by and large I've had a whooole lot of free time. With which to watch previous episodes of The Office! It seems my one great accomplishment during this period of time was the further characterization of the relationship between free time and good times. It turns out that they are not always directly related. It seems that at a certain threshold of free time, a point I like to call "McBurney's point", the relationship becomes inverse such that greater free time leads not to more good times, but rather more idle lying around. Although I cannot prove it I would imagine each person has a different McBurney's point, but, wherever it is, I certainly crossed it sometime in the last fourteen days. I have obtained a level 40 home city for France on Age of Empires III, but when I'm playing the game three hours a day should I really expect anything less? No, I have become fat and lazy, or rather just lazy, and now I don't have much to say. I could discuss mortgages and new home buying, but I imagine that would be about as exciting as a lecture in economics. So instead I will briefly mention my one great discovery these past few weeks -- completely unrelated to my one great accomplishment.
It's History Comics by Kate Beaton at... well... whatever her Internet address is -- just follow the link. While I have an extensive list of comics linked on the right hand side of my page, most are admittedly rubbish and used only to feed the odd addiction that I seem to have acquired for these things over the years. History Comics, however, are different. Or at the very least they're the pure uncut heroin to the rest of my uhh... very cut heroin.... Anyway, each comic is generally about some random historical figure, frequently Canadian, and is at the very least amusing and informative if nothing else. I'd say it's both fun and educational, but I'm sure you've already thunk it.
