God I'm so lame.

Instead of indluging in the Super Bowl like most Americans would be doing right now, I'm either rewatching episodes of Gurren Lagann with my awesome girlfriend pal or playing Starforce (With btw if any of my Starforce friends are reading this, I need halp :<) or nibbling on chicken wings.

Bleh, wake me up when the Olympics start.

Pfft. I slept through it. Not that me sleeping through things in prime time is anywhere remotely near unusual. We don't get the good comercials here in Canada thanks to the CRTC anyway.


of course, you won't see me giving two shits about the Olymipcs either which really tends to get people going "OMFG what is WRONG with you!?". I hate sports period. I swear it's never over. There's always something else coming up :/

Canadian Radio and Television (which may have since been changed to Telecommunications, I can't remember) Counsel.... or something along those lines. They're in charge of giving channels their licences and such. Making sure there's a certian amount of Canadian content. And created the greatest evil ever in simulcasting. Which is esentially, if both a Canadian station and an American station are showing the exact same program, even if you have the American station, even if you tune in to the American station, the Canadian station will override it so you get all the Canadian advertising. Meaning no Super Bowl commercials. (I hate it for other reasons, the biggest one being that sometimes the timing is off so the beginning or ending of a show can wind up being cut off as the override kicks in or out. It's frustrating)
