i woke up early on monday (in a happy place) but that just made it sneaky... it bode its time and struck today, leaving me with a bad luck tuesday. two projects launching this week and another that i was put on friday afternoon, all now now now. my response: fuck one up with an obscure bug that took two senior devs and the lead...

Godzilla vs. Mothra just came on the CBC.

what does it say about Canadian television when the workers go on strike and the programming gets better? hell, they can stay on the picket lines as long as they want if i keep getting nights like Star Wars Ep. V, BBC News, then Godzilla.

i think listening to Bowie is 100% bad for me. when you...

- gentleman reg is on the new cbc radio 3 podcast. aww. one of the few men on the planet that i'd actually refer to as "cute". he has this nerdy little kid stage presence that pretty much demands the term.

- i sincerely believe that my own body is trying to kill me (itself). i don't think it has realized that yet - meaning...

brought to you by the same cat that broke my laptop, scratched up my leather chair, and tried to shit on my bed last week:

so i wake up, my head's a bit swimmy from some sort of mania last night (note: if you start drinking at 2am, bad sign) and i decide i want to play a bit of Diablo 2. it's a noble...

this is so worth dedicating a journal entry to. from this morning's crossword puzzle:

9 down: "break in twain".

answer is: cleave.

fucking cleave in twain. how is that not the awesomest barbarian phrase ever to be uttered by an axe-wielding northman? makes me want to buy a loincloth and a red headed slave girl with sharp teeth and fire in her eyes.

and...

a few more reasons why i love living in vancouver, in point form:

- Yo dropped by and hauled me out to the Cambie for pitchers, where it turns out a good friend from kelowna was hanging out whilst visiting the city. said friend Josh is a ridiculously talented guitarist, so we sat around and talked about wacky tunings for a while.

- Carly had...

some days i wake up and on the outside i'm fine, but on the inside it's like someone fucking stole my cloudsong. seriously.

on the plus side work is (aptly) furiously busy so there's plenty of productiveness to throw myself into instead of squealing wordlessly on a TeamSpeak server. right now we've got about one developer per project. in fact, there are more projects...

got the Jayne and Inara covers of Serenity, finally. apparently Golden Age didn't even get the third cover with their order. bah.

also picked up issue 2 of Homeland (yes, that Homeland... it's Drizzt in comic book form, exclamation, exclamation, one). i don't know how issue one managed to come out without me hearing about and subsequently purchasing it but it will be mine, oh...

finally had my 3 month review (i've been working here since feb... fortunately i don't get paid for accurate math). it went well, my job rules. i greatly enjoy working for a company full of people smarter than me.

i have a land line now too, so for those that are inclined to contact me, i'm sure you can figure out how. DSL still isn't...

by the time i stumbled out of the kitchen with some oatmeal and realized it was already twenty to nine, i knew it was going to be one of those days. the monday after a long weekend at the end of the month should have some kind of warning label. to whit:

i forgot to pay rent on friday, so i had to take time...

if, when doing your hair before work in the morning, you accidentally sweep a single strand of hair into your eye, do not under any circumstances twitch and rub your eye immediately - you will likely end up with a single strand of hair and several eyelashes in your eye.

if, when continuing to do your hair in the morning whilst blinking furiously to try...
