Irascible Musings: Doppelganger!
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2005/05/doppelganger.html
Friday, May 06, 2005. There's this bar I go to only for business meetings. It’s nothing special, it’s just located well, has smoking at the bar, and incidentally, has very attractive wait staff. The crowd leaves something to be desired, but there’s almost always an available booth or table, and for a meeting the crowd doesn’t really come into the equation. Meanwhile J still has to place his order. She’s mistaken me for someone else? Even without my wacky mop of hair I’m unusually tall and unusually.

Irascible Musings: Poor, poor asshole
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2005/05/poor-poor-asshole.html
Monday, May 02, 2005. Poor, poor asshole. I think it's great when the chance opens up to defend an asshole. That way the points one makes aren't clouded or diminished by any sentimentality, whether real or perceived. Today's asshole is Rush Lim.baugh. The issue at hand is the Florida State Attorney's continued investigation into Mr. Lim.baugh's "doctor shopping". To feed his painkiller addiction. Isn't addiction considered an illness? What is served by "conducting an ongoing criminal investigation"?

Irascible Musings: Driven To Distraction
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2005/05/driven-to-distraction.html
Thursday, May 26, 2005. Things have been rather crappy in this corner of the blogoshpere but not so bad that any complaints provide a solid rant. I'm unable to write about such annoyances without sounding like anything other than whining. Fortunately, I have found a brand new way to. Distract myself from such petty irritants. It's like minesweeper hopped up on brain steroids. More thinking, less clicking; and it's portable too. Give it a go. Posted by Benjamin @ 11:52 AM. The Globe and Mail.

Irascible Musings: Optimizing Irony
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2005/03/optimizing-irony.html
Friday, March 18, 2005. From an email I sent today:. I need your advice on something. One ball captain to another. Like them I'm sitting on the fence. He's a pain in the ass (and a bit of an embarassment) but his bat would be missed.". The recipient of this query is not only another captain and a friend but also the one involved with the worst of the personality conflicts within the league at large - our player at one time tried to pick a fight with him.

Irascible Musings: Ball Bluster
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2005/06/ball-bluster.html
Friday, June 03, 2005. My grumpiness continues. The only stuff I've written lately has been baseball related. Just so I've posted something this week here goes - the Weekly Ball Summary:. And, I was asked by Granola Girl, who is putting together a newsletter fot the league to write a team history kinda thingy. Looks like the newsletter may not come out so I thought I'd put it up somewhere:. Posted by Benjamin @ 8:42 AM. The Globe and Mail. Poor, poor asshole. Benjy wont like it; he hates everything.

Irascible Musings: No mutton, thanks
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2005/04/no-mutton-thanks.html
Thursday, April 21, 2005. No mutton, thanks. From today's Globe and Mail. Here's how Canada's consumer price index has evolved over the past 92 years. First index compiling prices paid by "workingmen in cities" appears in 1913. It features fuel, lighting and rent, as well as 29 food items such as mutton, lard, vinegar spirits and just two kinds of fruits. The complete article can be found here. Posted by Benjamin @ 2:29 PM.

Irascible Musings: 12/01/2004 - 01/01/2005
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2004. Incoherent New Years Rant. The smoking ban in T.O. has actually had an influence on me. It’s not the inconvenience itself it’s just that smoking has become such an inconvenience that it has made me realize how addicted I am. That's what really pisses me off. Now why would I (or anyone else for that matter) select January 1st as a good quit date? The entirely arbitrary beginning of the year has begun. Why should this matter? Everyone else is drinking so why shouldn’t I too?

Irascible Musings: My 100 Things
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2004/06/my-100-things.html
Tuesday, June 15, 2004. 1 I need coffee in the morning. 2 Even if I’ve had my coffee I’m still irascible. 3 I’m working on it. 5 From thinking of, thinking of, thinking of quitting I’m now finally at the thinking of quitting smoking stage. 6 Although Canadian, I love baseball and barely tolerate hockey. 7 When I was 15 I stopped playing ball to do teenage things. 8 I took it up again at 28. 9 I regret ever giving it up. 10 I now play whenever I get the chance. 11 I have a brother and sister who are twins.

Irascible Musings: Quizzical
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2005/05/quizzical.html
Monday, May 16, 2005. You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility. What is Your World View? Posted by Benjamin @ 2:12 PM. The Globe and Mail. Poor, poor asshole. Benjy wont like it; he hates everything.

Irascible Musings: Dirtbag Ball Weekend
http://irasciblemusings.blogspot.com/2005/05/dirtbag-ball-weekend.html
Tuesday, May 10, 2005. Hanging out on patio with team. Another patio w/ Krazy Courier Girl. Yet another patio w/ KCG and friends. Cold tea in Chinatown until very late. Stumble out of unfamiliar apartment (#1) still in ball clothes. Head to park looking for noon pickup game. No pickup game but Granola Girl comes by. Join GG’s team for a ball practice. GG’s team and the other team on the next diamond, start impromptu game. Have coffee and chat w/ GG. Head off to patio to resolve this issue.
