The so-called Brexit makes me wonder what defines a sovereignty and what its boundaries are.

Toy boys. And tomboys.

This world is in a mayhem.

Can tourism make a town or country affluent?

Probably not.

I for one don't want to see hair sprout from women's upper and lower lips.

Some old white women have their own natural moustache.

And some younger ones carry their arm fuzz. Well. Still...

At the whim of fashion, many girls now loyally wear jeans with large holes.

Oh my, a little fashionability has been instilled into me.

Women are very eager to be sophisticatedly fashionable, all in all.

Recalcitrant kids.

Troubles ahead.

Cut out the middleman, the arbitragers.

Linux is the de facto definitive operating system.

However, Microsoft Windows was the champ, at least in the consumer space. It's a fact.

It seems that studying musicology typically does not help pop singers at all.

Maybe I've gotten a wrong impression, though.

The Clintons family, or dynasty, if you like, has got great leverage on the American stage.

Is it a healthy thing?

Since I came to Canada, whenever I watched TV news or read web news, I got inundated with the new development of disasters and crises across the world.

Why should individuals know every single disaster and crisis in every corner of the globe, and in such detail?

More and more job positions of editors, such as lexicographers, have been and will be ousted by the tide of our time.

But I, as an English language learner, am grateful for the lexicographers' fruitful labor over decades.

'Bill of sale' and 'bill of lading' used to be a little confusing to me.

'Estate sale', as well as 'garage sale', were much clearer.

It seems that in Montreal, many young primary school students dress like unsuitably aged fashionistas.

Evernote's web client failed briefly just a moment ago.

Users will pick up on it and pay attention to the feasibility of Evernote's competitors' services, if that kind of downtime happens often.

Flat vada snacks taste quite good.

'Shah' is a powerful surname.

The well-being of employers, such as private companies, is oftentimes obfuscated to employees.

I know 'blurb' and 'executive summary'.

But what's the word for their counterparts on websites? Web page blurbs, article blurbs, and news blurbs?

It seems that many, if not most, packaged foods and beverages companies in the U.S. and Canada have not been safeguarding their customers' health, especially against obesity.

For that matter, it is obvious that their consumers do not want obesity encroaching on their very own bodies because of the consumption.

Google, in its infinite wisdom, closed down the service of its very popular Google Reader.

That act, planted a seed of distrust in my mind.

I don't know anything about the current DDR4 DRAM thingummy.

A free market economy is advantageous for resource allocation.

But what about human costs?

The torrent of social media brought a deluge of additional information overload.

Please just give me a break.

Desktop Linux virtuosos are everywhere.

'Koala bear' originated in Australia.

However, 'kangaroo court' did in the United States.

Greenwillow Books is an imprint of the HarperCollins publishing company.

Ah. The ambience of subtropical drenching rain.

Maybe we'll eventually see the bit rot of DVDs because of the apparently increasing disappearance of optical drives in new laptop computers.

Sigh. Dangerously, beer is a refreshing sort of drink in summertime.

'Yellow and blue can make chartreuse and green and aquamarine.'

'Red and blue can make magenta and purple and violet.'

'But yellow and red can make marigold and orange and vermilion.'

Standing behind the high glass window, I enjoyed gazing the precipitation dotting into a cavity in the parking lot.

That's yesterday, though.

Appreciate the early vernal April.

What's beneath the emergence of the budding phenomenon of crowdbirthing?

A hyper level of competition infiltrated into every single aspect of the modern life?

Xfce is a speedster, compared with other major Linux desktop environments.

In the wake of the great decline of Blackberry Limited (formerly known as RIM), will the Waterloo, Ontario area be able to regenerate itself?

It's another major blow to the Canadian tech industry following the one of Nortel.

Linguine tastes better than spaghetti.

Personally I have lost much of my faith in the intelligentsia in the West.

On its up side, urbanization faciliates the enjoyment of cultural amenities for more people than before.

Apple's current dominance is still inconclusive, I feel.

Nowadays, some consumers are apt to find less and less reasons to justify craving and scrambling for a brand new iPad or MacBook something. As for iPhones, as well as Siri, let's just keep tabs on them for now.

On the other hand, the nascent Windows 10 with the Cortana voice assistant seems increasingly interesting.

Sometimes it's not good that people just blurt out slangs.

In this time and era, more and more people are losing their moral fiber, it seems.

There's a title 'Mrs.' There's a title 'Miss.'

And, there's a mythical title 'Ms.' in between.

Interestingly, the nascent Trudeau government claimed that they've unmuzzled Canadian scientists.

In a supposedly free society, which Canada claims itself to be, how could scientists get muzzled in the first place?

The burgeoning Vivaldi web browser looks stunning.

I think that I for one am apt to sincerely flatter myself.

Apple Inc. has been sitting pretty for very long time, hasn't it?

This week, I'm wondering how many customers will end up being annoyed by the nascent iPhone SE's small 4-inch screen eventually.

Is it an oxymoron?

People, all kinds of people, try to build and maintain their nest eggs by way of the fleeting and highly volatile stock market.

There appears to be very little wiggle room available for Hong Kong people's personal space.

It's unbelievable that crinolines only became popular in the Western world since the mid-19th century.

Interestingly, naan and roti are both South Asian breads.

They are my daily bread nowadays, especially the former.

Many Canadians' gargantuan bellies seem normal, because we see them everyday, everywhere.

But, they are actually very ABNORMAL, in terms of human health, I think.

Little children are radiant with their innocent ways.

Well, Mac is a PC (aka personal computer), although Apple Inc. the storyteller would like people to think otherwise.

Gastronomically, Canada is not a good place.

TL;DR is what I think of most articles and posts on traditional news media's websites nowadays.

Oh man, those journalists may be wasting our time.

When dealing with desktop Linux, there are no more butterflies in my stomach.

Well, St Patrick's Day is a Christian festival day for Irish people.

Nonetheless, the holiday's tradition of alcohol consumption, or guzzling, seems to have become stronger over recent times.

Don't be the tail that wags the dog. Stay out of harm's way.

Peace and solitude is much harder to come by in China than in Canada, I suppose.

Personally I like the sprightliness of vegetable dishes in Chinese cuisine.

Lame startup founders are worse than armchair ones.

However, shoddy startup products are better than vicarious ones.

There are multiple bud leaves on the potted plant.

I used to hear a lot of traffic hullabaloo in China.

But not in Canada.

Now, sadly, I cannot shake off the stereotype, which I have formed over the years, that Canadian grocery chain stores mostly provide fattening foods and drinks.

And, more sadly, way too many Canadians devour the former and guzzle the latter.

It's a monumental tragedy in the making.

Many open-source software applications are not tried and true.

It seems that the increasingly expensive university education is not sustainable fiscally, as well as in terms of the mammoth amount of precious time that students have to spend on it.

Maybe a naturally retentive memory is a myth.

Maybe deep understanding is what's really behind the scene.

There are vicarious eaters who like reading foodies' columns.

And there is even vicarious menstruation.

Well, 'vicarious' is an intriguing word in English.

Well, animatronics such the "My Real Baby" made by iRobot would feel creepy, at least a little bit, I imagine.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRobot .

IMHO, mainstream Canadian beers don't hold a candle to their Japanese counterparts.

Personally I take special care of my main desktop environments and operating systems.

Between KDE Plasma and GNOME, I just feel kind of impartial right now.

The makeover which was brought by KDE Plasma 5 has been such an eye candy which wows me. But it just dismisses many of my old keyboard shortcuts habits which I've carried from Microsoft Windows and the Cinnamon desktop environment.

The curtain was kept billowing in the snow breeze by the open door.

I tried keying on an antique Smith Corona typewriter yesterday.

It's a nice inputting experience.

My toddler daughter has got some teeny weeny natural rat-tail hair.

In fundamental Cryptography such as the basic parts of GnuPG, decrypting seems to be the most trivial part.

Rudolf Steiner stressed that children should just frolic without being restrained to actual academic study, if you like, during their first six years after birth.

It appears that people are installing the seminal Ubuntu operating system on all sorts of emeging personal computing devices.

Ah, Ubuntu/GNU/Linux, so to speak.

The revelation that some restaurants just serve their customers factory-prepared foods left my opinions of restaurants many notches down.

Sadly, Toshiba and Samsung laptops are not sold at Best Buy Montreal any more.

Personally I dismiss conlanging as a waste of time.

I'd rather expend my precious time on acquiring real-world languages such as French, or Japanese. Or Javascript, so to speak. :-)

It appeared that Hive Reader, an online RSS reader which had been promised by some developer, is just a piece of vaporware.

My yearning to have my own stable and nearly truly all-around Linux PC came to fruition around one year ago.

A mangled generation in North America.

Young men as well as young women of distrust.

J-pop is mysterious and intriguing.

I didn't use to like pasta. However, I've had a change of heart.

Nearly every software guy is a man of parts.

Every one of J's days is greatly truncated by raising his kid.

It appears that on average, Canadians dress themselves in many subtle ways, whereas mainland Chinese didn't use to.

E. G. needled me briefly when I mentioned "artsy films".

The chances of success of businesses managed by young people without the aid of mature hands are infinitesimally small, typically.

It seems that Valentine's Day has got only some sentimental value, thanks to consumerism.

And, the particular modern Western secular tradition makes many people unnecessarily poignant. Isn't it so?

IMHO, the inherent human greed induced capitalism, and then the latter exacerbated the former.

I'm still a bit confused by the thing of duvet or comforter.

Tisane, aka herbal tea, seems to be a complicated sort of drink.

I like vermicelli.

It's a super-duper sort of pasta and noodle. Is it noodle?

The word 'lusty' is so easy to be confused with 'lustful'.

The world loads nearly everyone of us with a lot of information, almost compulsorily.

Besides, nearly everyone of us streams or downloads a lot of videos and audio clips.

That's a lot of traffic on the internet altogether.
