I had a friend drop in on me last night from Oman where he teaches. Always good to see him as he's one of the more interesting people I've ever met. He's an old friend of the family, so he's known my mom since before I was born. He also lives in a shoe, and his wife insists that she's not that old. And I...

i most likely can... i'm easily distracted by anything shiny and/or fast-moving.
eddie:
mmm Batman. I haven't seen the movie yet, but oh, when I do....
Bah, tuesday night and I'm working, and bored.
Hmmm maybe I should skip the working part and go do something more interesting.

Once again it's monday and the clients are being cooperative, I mean replying to my emails, actually fixing things that are wrong, answering my questions? I think they're starting to realize that these things need to happen for them to receive final versions.

ha no, they don't really have free days, i wish. it's 9$ each way for a walk on, plus pretty much 10$ to take the bus each way... it's pretty rough... that's why i never go to van, even walking on it's going to cost me AT LEAST 40$. which maybe isn't that much, but when you're unemployed it's quite steep!
that's such a sweet offer! i will keep that in mind, you're so nice.
i doubt i would ever drag keith to any sort of sg related thing, as he's about as anti-social as i am. haha. but if there is ever any sg thing that i really want to make it over for but can't afford, like all the recent sg events, i will keep your offer in mind! you're so sweet. so nice to me and i am not even on your favourites. haha. i mean, i don't care about that, i just can't imagine you being any nicer! do you send your favourites gold toilets?

solaris:
ah, i feel like i am hardly involved in sg at all... i've never been to an event.... well i went to the live show last summer but i wasn't an sg yet and i didn't really talk to anyone, so it barely counts! one day i want to go to something, i am just so shy though and stuff. oh well.
i know what you mean about the favourites thing, and i had a feeling you didn't put real life people on there. i think you can have as many favourites as you want now, up to five.... you can have zero if you like i think! i could never dream of having zero because then where would bracket go? she's always been #1 on my list.

Well last night was interesting, involving a few journeys.
First there was the physical journey, richmond to vancouver to about 10 different spots in vancouver going in to try and find a bar we could hang out in. There was a bunch I can't remember the name of, then we hit the blarney stone, which sucked for about the first 45 minutes, then as soon...

I'll be taking them on permanently, adopting them. Fostering is when you have them for a short while whilst finding new homes. 
sophie:
But then I mostly just bookmark people, and comment randomly when they say something I have an opinion on.
this is SUCH a rad practice. i enjoy getting comments from you. i'll bet you are one lovely person in real life.
Last night was much fun. Met some new people, ate some decent food, was amazed at the quantity of the platter thing that S_Eldorado ordered and generally had a good time hanging out with everyone.
Then came the going home, and the not sleeping, having half a dozen pops late at night after not drinking anything but water for a few weeks definitely makes you...

I'm sorry that you're not as happy as I am about my trip to Japan, so... wait. No, that's not true. I'm far too happy to be sorry. You'll have to wait for my birthday, when I'll be jetlagged and missing my gf. Then I'll be all sorry.

Well I actually did end up getting a lot of work done on Sunday, but not on Saturday, Saturday was a total write off even though I spent the day trying to work, funny how that goes isn't it?

The Korean robot is awesome, but I think it's expensive. I've seen it mentioned in a few blogs though. Did you manage to get the streaming thing to work, I don't know if I linked it properly. Some of the stuff they've got that robot doing is amazing.
Ugh, so I'm sitting here working, or trying to work, and watching Firefly again. Which really means I'm watchcing Firefly again while the laptop's on in front of me.

Firefly...? Is that a movie?
Speaking of fireflies... I love fireflies! I am sitting outside in the lawn right now taking full advantage of the wireless Internet, and I wish that I could see some fireflies... but, all that seems to be around are mosquitos...

Is Firefly any good!? Maybe Hethral still has his money-back guarantee going. He told friends to buy the DVD set and if they didn't like it, he'd give them their money back and they had to give it to someone they thought might really like it.
This is in no way a guarantee you're getting from me or Hethral - just to clarify. I'm telling you what he did earlier so you can get a sense of whether or not it's "good".
Oh, and nobody asked for their money back.

I went and changed workout routines this morning. I've gone from doing one muscle group a day for four days to doing two a day for three days and then a day of rest. I've also changed from using free weights to my roommates Boxflex thing. The good thing being it's more of a complete workout, the bad being I feel like a weenie using...

Damn! well, I guess I too have to chalk Sin City up to yet another movie I never saw in the theatres.
I totally hear you on the kinesiological limitations of most workout machines. Even all the "Hammer Strength" brand ones at the gym I am just not built for.
The lat pull one for example:
You are supposed to sit straddling the machine, pressing your sternum up against the adjustable chest plate, then reach out and grab the handles. Adjust the chest plate so that you are far enough away from the handles to allow for a full stretch.
Well, by the time I have gotten far enough away from the thing for a full stretch, the fulcrum of the pulley is TOTALLY in the wrong spot to get a proper swing back with the handles. They end up like way out in front instead of beside me.
Same thing with the T-Bar row, once I get up on the machine and stretch my long spider arms out, the bar hits the ground before I get a full stretch.
sigh.
Ridiculously low to the ground urinals piss me off too. --er... so to speak.
Where's the big guy world?
That's it! I'm starting my own city.

oh yeah, and a question on the bowflex.
I remember watching an infomercial late one night on that thing, and scoffing at the idea of it due to a thought I had on how it would work.
If it's just a spring type mechanism, wouldn't that mean that on the movement (lets say bench, for example) when you first start out the movement, you are pressing say 40 pounds of resistance... and as you push further into the motion, (thereby bending the springs farther) wouldn't that resistance be incrementally increasing? like 40 pounds at the top of the movement, then finally 170 pounds at the very far end of it?
Seems a bit whacked, physiologically speaking.?

Woah, way too many comments there, that's what you get when someone doesn't log on to his instant messenger and you're arranging a movie over SG.
Went out with d20 and saw kingdom of heaven again last night. Pretty decent movie, I like that in the battle scenes noone's ever just standing around looking for direction, they're always doing something, running purposefully, fighting in the...

Actually, the chewing isn't so bad. He just likes to whimper and cry over everything. I've never had a puppy that cried this much. He also like to attack me in my sleep. I don't know how many times a night I wake up to him jumping on my face. 
I think I've hit a turning point, my boss came into my office and announced that as bad a week as this may be, at least we're not this other company who's website is down right now to routing issues.

I know that emoticon is supposed to mean "whatever", but to me it always looks much more like the thing is deep in contemplative thought.
a battery operated, heated housecoat.... I think we could be onto something.
After that solar powered fiasco, it's going to take some time to save face, but yes... YES!
I think there should be an MP3 player in the collar too, with a USB adapter on one of the sleeves....

So Monday night I saw unleashed, and it was good. Morgan Freeman, Bob Hoskins, Jet Li, 'nuff said. Well maybe not completely enough. It was like a really good movie that also had amazing fight scenes. Just think that Jet Li guy is in his 40s now and still moves like a 16...
