and I filled it with playing World of Goo until my eyes hurt, then had ice cream. That game is pretty clever and fun, I love the simple games. Hopefully I will actually start homework tomorrow : p.

I resisted temptation and didn’t end up buying a lens, although for the most part was because the pictures with it wouldn’t turn out to great and that I won’t have time to use it. Sleepy sleepy

sigh, I just feel down today, I probably haven’t got enough sunlight this past week. I did spend two days locked in-doors pretty much and even when I am at work it is not like I see a lot of sunlight. Today I stayed inside and cleaned up some of the piles of papers in here. The only time I went out was to get a binder from my trunk.

I want to go and eat some snazzy delicious food to get me out of this funk but I can’t and I shouldn’t anyways, but the feeling is nagging at the back of my brain anyways.

I have class starting tomorrow, at 8.30 in the morning I think, sigh. Maybe some of the sadness is just stress that I haven’t fully realized yet. I have a 4 day work week next week so I have to do more in a shorter time period plus I have to do and get homework done promptly, preferably before I go to Harrow for the weekend where getting internet access will be spotty at best. There will of course be a new onslaught of homework coming to me. The other day I described to my niece that I couldn’t spend the money buying a new laptop that could run flash video b/c of my upcoming expenses, part of that probably bummed me out, 6 months of car insurance is coming up, hefty master card bill, another installment of the school bill is coming too plus who knows how many unknowns. Sigh. At least the iBook is still active and in use today, not bad for a computer purchased in early 2001.

The room is clean, it mostly just involved moving accounting books downstairs and shredding some paper. Also moved my paintball box downstairs. I bought it online on Boxing day and I told them to send me the order except for the one backordered item, they agree but hold on to it and don’t send it until last week when they got the item in. When they did send it they didn’t send the whole order, the for some reason decided to send one of the items to me in a separate package 4 days later, it hasn’t arrived yet. Would have been handier to have it all earlier when I would have had time to play, oh well.

I wish I could roll a tissue nice and tight, slide it up my nose and have the other end come out my mouth so I can then ‘floss’ my sinuses and get the rest of the sick out. Come to think about it, the last time I was sick like this I had a persistent, small amount of mucus in my sinuses that I could always hack and cough out. I should have probably taken something to help clear it out since I think I have read since that time that it could have gotten very badly infected since I just have sick basically hanging out in a pool in my head. I used the word since a lot in the last paragraph and it bugs me, oh well.

I hope Chris finds Henry soon or that Henry wanders back home soon, poor kitty cat. I know I’d be pretty fucked up if one of the cats was missing for more then a day. : /

my eyes hurt, my throat isn’t too bad. Had the sniffles but it was manageable, I just feel so cold, like my skin is unreal and it is at room temperature. I am in bed under covers and I was shivering quite a bit before. I even had to curl up with the cat to steal her warmth and it didn’t help that much. Oh well.

I was on the losing end, feeling tired, drained, sneezy, headachey, but I fought back, I took vitamin C and ate an orange and I became as healthy as a guinea pig. I even squeak. I got poked in the side and I did a little popcorn too.

There was an article in the paper talking about the top 3 and worst 3 neighbours people would want living beside them, Sarah Palin made both lists. I can’t see why people would think she is a good neighbour to be beside. Probably swing by over the house in a helicopter shooting gophers and such. I am still in awe that people would do such a thing, there isn’t really any skill needed in shooting an animal that is grazing in a field from a helicopter, they would have more of a challenge shooting clay ducks and such. It’s not like the animal understands that it is being shot at or what the consequences are, it is running away because it is familiar of predators that bite and claw, not shoot a projectile from a distance using a boom stick. The animal would run away with the same intelligence and determination of a 5 year old in a mall. That can be a sport I can back. Have a shooting range in a store and when a 5 year old gets separated from it’s parent it can be open season, after the first shot it will run making the subsequent shot that much more exciting, will it find cover behind a trash-can or behind an uncrossable fountain or will it run straight down the hall making it an easy kill. Could even bait a clearing in the mall with an ice cream cone on the floor or a lollipop or some deer pee. It has to be just as challenging as shooting a deer afterall. If you want to do it from a helicopter well then you’d have to do it in the parking lot of a power centre, Chuckee Cheese would be a feeding ground for it. I hope I don’t get banned from the mall now, but it will be OK because I have an ice cream maker, yum yum.

Chris was driving along on the highway and we spot a truck towing a trailer. Ice was blowing off the top of the trailer as it was getting up to highway speed on the 407 so he stays back from it in case there was more ice. As we are about to change lanes from being behind him to get off the highway there is a sudden explosion on the driver side of the trailer, yellow insulating foam and wood is everywhere. As we pass the truck we realize what has happened as we see the bed of the pickup for the first time. I thought at first that maybe part of the trailer broke off and splintered into pieces as it hit the highway going 100. As we see the bed of unsecured windows with frames in the bed of the truck it becomes clear that the wind that was catching the ice off of the roof of the trailer caught one of the windows and the lip of the window frame and tossed it up high enough so that it’s centre of gravity would allow it to spill over on to the highway. At least the driver noticed and pulled over. Not sure what he could do since there didn’t appear to be any straps in the truck, if he had tehm he would have used them, right? I wonder if he was brave enough to go out there with a push broom and try to sweep up all the broken glass fragments and splintered wood as it littered lanes 2 and 3 of the 407. The rest of my week has been uneventful. Cleaning a fishtank with a gravel vacuum and a 30′ plastic hose takes a lot of wet prep time and patience, and it doesn’t have as much suck power in the gravel as the 5 foot hose.

I had a dream last night, a really weird one. For some reason Children’s services came to to someone’s house on the insistance of their neighbour and took away one of the kids, the kid had a duck’s bill for a nose/mouth. It wasn’t a weird genetic fluke as I found out later in my dream but rather because a duck was the father of the child, ie the mom did a duck. The kid finished university and got married. Fairly weird dream, I think my mind was a bit awake for this dream b/c I think I was able to control parts of it. I would assume I wanted to see what a duck billed person looks like but who knows.

In other news Stella and Gweeker were a sleep most of the day upstairs right next to each other, nice to know that they are learning to tolerate each other, or at least keep each other warm. We will hit quite the turning point when Gweeker jumps up next to Stella to lie down.

My eyes are soar and I need to do some work stuff. First I shall go to Manchu Wok for cheapish chicken wrapped in a sauce that I find delight in. I wish we lived closer to Noodle Hut, or that I had the time and knowledge to turn that nodle stuff in the cupboard into cooked noodle stuff on a plate covered with sugary sauce and tiny chicken pieces that don’t taste like normal home made chicken.

My fishtank is full of a poisonous concoction of nitrates and gold fish poo, I really should ditch the goldfish but I dont have anywhere to put them. I started cleaning up and doing water changes regularly last month but the nitrates were very high to begin with so it will take some time to bring it down. Today with having my arm in water and going outiside 3 times and then bringing the hose from the garage my body did not like all the temperature changes and I felt sick, almost to the point of throwing up, and almost to the point of just shivering non stop. I couldn’t seem to warm up anymore. Even a shower didn’t help, I did fill up the tub and got most of me in it and that did help, although my stomach was still very turney. After almost falling a sleep I felt a lot better,and getting out of the tub is a pain, I am way too tall for it. Die Hard 3 also helped.

I got to eat at Wildwings the other day for Laura’s Birthday (happy Birthday) and it was pretty good, Jay has been raving about the place and trying to get people to go for a while, only downside is that it is more expensive then other places on their wing night’s oh well. I want to have a taco day, it would be delicious because of all of the tacos involved.

In it I was at a hospital that was run by Scientology. There were hints about that in all the pictures around, one of the statues was a skeleton holding a picture of ron hubbard. One of the nurses kids went missing and it turned out he was wandering around and some wandering doctor took him a side and cut out part of his brain so it’d be easier to indoctrine him with scientology.
He was found and for some reason his Mom and brother were playing clarinet trying to raise money for something, I saw the kid and his one eye was kind of bulging out like 2 face from the doctor. I went into the hall to find the person who did this and they were leading another person into a church type of room. I busted in and pulled out a couple of guns and started shooting.

There was a back room where there were people doing that reader test thing and they looked like they were high on a drug. There was another door that was sealed shut, I tried kicking it down but it wouldn’t open, I was thinking I know from Mythbusters that I can’t shoot the lock off but I did magically have some C4 in my possession all of a sudden.

I shot up a bunch more people around and then as I was leaving the room and evil dark dust cloud spirit started to grow and was going to destroy the hospital. I got into the stairwell and was told by a voice that I had to go to each floor and save the nurses. I went down one floor and tried opening the door, I barely could and I shouted but no one could. It looked llike a dessrert storm in appearance from the swirling black dust cloud of evil. I didn’t try again untill the 2nd last floor where a bunch of nurses were saved. I shot out the front door window to get out and we all ran from the building because the evil dark spirit of ron hubbard was going to knock it over.

While outside everything looked unreal, I eventually got a tire iron and was running away when I heard a voice that basically said I failed on saving the nurses from the hospital, most of them were pregnant from the evil scientology doctors. As a result some corpses began to reanimate, I took them down with a tire iron but soon they weren’t dropping from that and would just grab their jaws and such and put them back on.

I then woke up wondering if my Mastercard bill was due in Aug or Sept, also I over slpet a little.

Funniest parts of the dream was when I realized it was a scientology hospital I saw each of the portraits in the hospital sowing a clue about that just like it was in a cheesy movie, then it showed a close up of the skeleton and that it was holding a picture of ron hubbard and then started laughing.

Got a couple of little fishies to start off a new fish tank that will eventually hold frogs. Can’t find the anti chlorine stuff, poor little guys. Well it stopped raining now so I can pop one into the rain barrell so he can escape the new water. I am having a hell of a time trying to remember what I did with the gravel from that tank. There is some of it in the other tank but I can’t remember if tat was the extra (it was a large bag) or if when Kathy moved I put it all in there so there wasn’t any loose gravel. I am starting to suspect that is what I did because with every other tank that doesn’t have water in it they have their gravel, it is the easiest way to keep it together. Doesn’t explain though where the top of the tank went to.

I wrote my test yesterday, I think I did OK, there were about 3 multiple choice questions I wasn’t sure about and one that I couldn’t answer. The problems I am pretty confident about. Finished it in 3 hours, I guess I’ll see how I did by Saturday. I could have easily messed up a few questions since there is always ‘little’ details that I missed.

I thought I have been by the Guelph downtown, I didn’t realize it was further back, it looked really nice, although the roads looked pretty fucked up. There were a couple of spots where I wasn’t sure if I was going in the correct direction, oh well. I probably won’t see it again.

And now about the moth attack, playing DS in bad and the screen is the only source of light in the room when something flys at the screen freaking me out. I wasn’t sure what it was until a second later as I heard the familiar fluttering of wings from a moth as it tried to land on my ear or feast on my brain. It was a big brown moth that I guess wanted to eat me for taking pictures of a caterpillar earlier in the day.

After a few minutes of trying to capture it I just turned the light on in the hall and chased it out there and then sprayed it. I never did find the corpse this morning, they say if you listen carefully you can still hear it falpping around wanting to eat brains and play Grand Theft Auto.
