I will be off of SG until I figure out what is wrong with my <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=computer&v=56">computer</a> and how it got past my <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=firewall&v=56">firewall</a>. It's probably nothing, but just to be safe.

So I didn't get hired to be a staff writer for my city's newspaper. Now, granted, I don't have a degree in journalism, but I sold a number of articles to a paper from the same owner last year. So I had hoped for at least an interview, rather than just a rejection letter. And I figure the law thing would have come in handy...

My friend works for NASA and says that all the time, since she got her degree in Aerospace Engineering.
My roommate is an intern with Planetary Geology, so she can't use that phrase. She can, however, tell people she's studying rock from Mars.

Apparently the "great blackout" was a year ago this weekend. Luckily, I was off work that day, so I didn't have to make my way home from half-way across the city with no public transportation and no traffic lights. I do remember that once the vendors along Yonge street realized what was happening, they started giving away free ice cream so that it didn't melt...

Today I was told by the Employee Committe (work related social function planning committe) that I had to tone down my 'hard sell' of tickets for the bi-weekly 50/50 draw (company wide raffle where half of money collected goes to winner and half is used to plan fun events like bowling nights).

As much as I would have loved to, I couldn't have attended anyway. I have two finals on Tuesday. I'm prepared for them, but it would have meant leaving Toronto after the concert since my first class is at noon.

Maybe i should do a set with Stormy...mmmm 80's pink haired rockalicious.

...actually, screw the idea for retro cellphones (from the last entry). My new invention is plastic or rubber skirts that will fit on the bottom of pop machines (to prevent loose change from falling under the machines where it can't be retrieved).
Now at first I thought that this wouldn't fly because the vending companies probably make $ by scooping up the coins below the...

Ah, here is your key to Pelican Lake in the beautiful northwoods of Minnesota.
Actually, your invention sounds great. You'd have to market it to the businesses hosting the machines as (at least in the U.S.) the machines are actually the property of the beverage vendor.

they are indeed matching earrings. And I find that they make me feel not unlike my namesake Jem. Showtime Synergy.
I always like it when people invent things. For it seems that noone invents anything these days...well at least nothing worthwhile ...i mean i supose someone invented furbies and turby twists and all the other shitty things you see on infomercials but nothing of great awesome anymore.

I have the coolest invention idea - a retro-styled cellphone. They will be the same size, but instead of a digital screen they will have those little rolling numbers like on old clock radios. they will also have wood panelling.

It's not a housing/tenant issue. It's a car insurance issue. Long story. I sold the car to a friend, they got into an accident, the insurance company came after me saying I wasn't insured for the accident and now owe them money. Huh?

This week at work we had a meeting where the department was told if our pay scale would be increased (not get raises, but have the same job simply be paid more). It wasn't, and part of the reason was that in after conversation with human resources departments at competing companies, it was determined that for people doing our job, we are making about the...

Has anyone noticed that in the bottom corner of the back cover of the new Cure album, there is a drawing of a person holding aloft a giant penis?

About twice a year, local cable plays the BTVS episode 'Once More With Feeling'. Monday night was just such a night. There was much singing amongst self and roommates, even the one who claims he 'hates the musical episode and only watches buffy for the hot chicks in the first place'.

I buy my DVD's on Ebay, usually. That way I can excuse buying stuff I don't really need because of the good deal I got.
