Huxley vs Orwell

This one is very funny, albeit very one-sided in my opinion. It makes Orwell look completely incorrect, I think he deserves more credit.

Bookkeeping: Links to Tribune, CUPJ articles

Put out for personal bookkeeping purposes.

As of now, my non-academic "publications" are made up entirely of the CUPJ and the McGill Tribune. I'm proud of each of the CUPJ pieces, though there's more diversity in the Tribune articles, naturally, since there's 30 of them. For the more interesting ones, I add comments in bold and in brackets. I couldn't find some of the Tribune articles, such as the 2nd and 3rd conservative leadership race articles. There are probably some other less interesting Tribune articles missing, but if I don't remember them ...

Also missing are the two McGill Daily columns I wrote on facebook, and the the pieces I wrote for the Champlain Edge. I'd show the former but maybe not the latter :P

Smallville's Lois and Clark

I've given it some thought, and I've decided that this may be the best romantic story arcs I've seen on T. I wasn't sure why I like this show so much. Certainly the villains have not been well-handled. Lionel and Lex were great, Brainiac was great; but in the past few seasons it's been a disappointment with underwhelming presentations of Doomsday, of Metallo and now of younger General Zod. I think what may be driving my interest in the latter seasons is the strong way in which they've developed the Clark-Lois romance.

Twilight and Transformers alternate endings.



An absolutely hilarious fan video mocking Terminator, merging its plot line with that of Back to the Future.
