quick update before home time:

i taught my boss the idiotic beauty of the NET SEND command this afternoon, along with how to apply it to your local workgroup. i also got osCatalog to run off an xml config file (using DOM no less) instead of its old groady db method. Posh and i played out in the smoke for a bit... looks like the...

welp, i just got an email from my mom. she landed in vancouver not too long ago and is heading to kelowna tomorrow. i left a message at her friend's place (in east van, which seems to be our family's natural habitat) so hopefully she'll get in touch tonight and get my address off me.

for a little background, i am - or was...

to replace a lame journal entry with something way cooler from the simpsons:

lenny: it's crazy to think that all this sunshine and food and everything comes from one god

carl: nah, there's probably a lot of gods

lenny: yeah, and some of 'em gotta be chicks

carl: chicks with a thousand boobs!

so it's canada day.

as posh and i were walking around downtown amongst the flag-and-silly-hat-clad revelers, she wondered if we were being too derisive and aloof about the whole thing. i replied that it would be against our nature to be anything else, and that by being sardonic elitist bastards we were in fact upholding the proudest canadian tradition of all: laughing at the stupidity...

home again, home again, giggity giggity.

the toronto trip was pretty epic, which over the past week has become my superlative of choice. i'm not sure how exactly it wormed its way into my - at times downright labrynthine - speech patterns but hey, there it is. dude, epic man.

i think the full tale of the trip to toronto might be a little too...

in half an hour i'm leaving for a week of vacation in Toronto. wooooo!

i get to meet Posh's family and friends, go to crazy restaurants and clubs, shop in an actual city for the first time in a while, and to top it off we're staying at the Hilton on Niagara Falls for a night.

my only regret is that our WoW Beta invites...

so it's going to be a geeky update, who'd have guessed - a nerdy post from me.

the Poshest just logged into Shaw Cable's site with the login/pass from an email account i made for that exact purpose. she clicked through a few links, and BAM, a Blondie video is playing on our tv. it's one of those moments where you think damn, it works....

well, a certain someone is older today. the cake and go karts should prove to be an entertaining way to spend a birthday - that is of course if we manage to get any money today. you know that whole Royal Bank fuck-up? yeah, that's me. all the money in my account disappeared yesterday and they say they're "working on it". note that the...

dan found a radio station that plays only video game themes this morning. i'm presently rocking gently to the main theme from Chrono Trigger... oh the memories.

the weekend was a shining success, despite the fact that the car didn't come through for Posh and Malloreigh. the guy who was going to lend us his '74 Charger has a rather sick uncle, so it's...
