Yawn

Work is fun and good. I think I’d still prefer to get money without having to do anything but oh well. What a busy week and I didn’t even update once, and of course I probably forgot about most of what has happened to me. My disgusting nieces have not only coated my gameboy SP in chocolate but they have also done the same to some of my cds, good thing I didn’t delete those files as well. I got a cute little tri pod but I haven’t used it yet. I need to get a little level guage and duct tape it onto it. I thought it was just a small little desk tri pod but it is actually extendible up to 40 “, I didn’t realize until after I took it home. Last week Food Basics had cheese on sale so we adventured over there to aquire said milk product. While there we discovered that somebody stole some pork. Not the packaging for the pork though, they stole the meat inside and left behind the packaging.


When Chris saw that picture in my Camera he immediately realized what store we were at. He found the same thing but this time the missing item was in the zip lock bag aisle instead of the cookie aisle. Than we drove home. Driving with Kathy is an electric experience with swaying lights. I dislike our Sunday night ritual where I take her home and say good night to her at some point in time. If only I didn’t require sleep, some day this shall happen. Or better yet someday I won’t have to say good bye on Sunday night but rather good night. I look forward to the day. Yesterday night a feast was held, well sort of, I was hungry and didn’t eat chineease earlier in the day. Didn’t really matter since I would have been hungry by that point in time at night. Brokeback Montanas has really good and filling nachos. I still feel large from eating them. Lots of beans and assorted items were heaped all over them in a delicious manner. Actually all the food served to us that night looked good enough to eat. There water tastes like ass, even a lollipop stick wasn’t able to fix that and the lemon wedge that was in there would have wilted away and died if it stayed in there. I tossed it into the nearest drink to me that wasn’t my drink, since the nearest drink to me was mine. While at Montana’s I heard stories about strippers and unexpected birthday parties. Not many of us at teh table remembered much from our Geography courses, namely put a legend on your map so people from any time can read and understand your map. This map could have been an archeological find of where some concrete barriers once existed. We than entertained our selves taking pictures of our twins and well making out with fish.

Sleep

I have been so sleepy this week. I need my hour back and I seem to not be able to get it back. I am very tired in the morning as well. Thank da lord I only had to drive once this week, I don’t know how but I am sure I’d drive into a tree on the 401. I have worked for a week in my new job, I like it so far, I just am not 100% sure what I am suppose to be doing since everyone has been busy preparing for high level meetings. Next week should run smoother.

I don’t know really what to say, I am lying in bed right now because I am too damn tired to do anything else really.

I met up with Kathy mid week and we feasted on Whoppers on Wednesday, she has an exam Saturday so I will be doing her laundry and such so she can focus. Her room is quite a mess.

Upgraded

When I first got my iBook I didn’t get the additional Ram because of the expense but after almost 4 years I finally have, yay. I was actually contemplating not getting it since this computer also needs a new battery. Well I guess it doesn’t need a new battery but the current one only lasts for about 10 minutes. Now it has about 640 MB of RAM and it is flying once again, as much as it can I guess. I got to have a good look at the new MacBook Pros and my god are they thin.

I am still hunting for a camera. I think I may choose either a Canon S2 or a S3 when it comes out. Maybe, I am not 100% sure yet but they are my most likely bet, at least at this time. It is hard reading the review sites since just about every camera that isn’t a SLR it says it has too much noise over 200 ISO. I think that it would only be noticable if printing stuff large or viewing at 100% on the screen. The only ones that seem to avoid this doom is Digital SLRs which are just way more than I want to spend, and much larger than I would really like to carry around. Panasonic has a really neat camera that also allows for manual focus but apparently all of their camers have terrible noise due to the chip they use. My eyes are bad so I shouldn’t be doing manual focus anyways. Also it uses a proprietary battery which I want to stay away from. In Guelph I can get 4 rechargable AAA batteries for under 5 bucks, I’m sure they carry AA for the same price if not better. The place is Tri Star Trading on Dawson Road if you were curious.

I finished work in my dept Friday, it was bittersweet for me. I am sad to leave, especially my old boss since she was the one who hired me and I guess took a chance on me since my skills at interviiews rather suck. I’m nervous going into the new area since I fear that I may stumble since I will have to learn a large variety of tasks and new systems in a short time. I will continue on with my attitude though, make sure I do my job to the best of my abilities and to increase my abilities to make damn sure that they never regret hiring me, not even for a moment. I finished up all of my tasks in the previous area, so hopefully the person who is taking over won’t screw up stuff that badly and blame it on me or something.

Yesterday I dragged Kathy with me around to a few stores to look at cameras, we did get a few pens for her, she does love her Uniball’s. We also got Tetris DS. That game is frustrating, mostly because I suck at it but shit. Kathy seemed to be able handle the game easily and handicapped herself to keep things competitive but I kept on losing. I felt like throwing my DS across the room. Shi-at. I was tempted to get Yoshi’s island now that they reduced the price on it but I just don’t feel like playing anything anymore.

Now my hands are idle, I don’t feel like playing with clay, I don’t have anything Buick related to write about, don’t really have anywhere to go, gas is expensive, and Kathy is busy studying so I don’t want to go heading out to places with her. What the hell am I going to do? I have to pick out stuff since I really want to set up my old pc as a RAID storage area and such but that can wait until the funds come in.

Albino possums terrorize me

Sunday night when driving Kathy home I thought at first I was seeing either a really weird looking dog or some sort of giant albino vermin but instead it was an albino possum. http://www.visualsunlimited.com/browse/vu214/vu214000.html is an example of such a creature but this one was not a baby, still very weird looking.

Today kitty saw a chipmunk feasting on some seeds I left out side the sliding door and the cat was ready to attack. The chipmunk either knew the cat couldn’t get him through the glass or didn’t notice but Kitty wanted to go outside and hunt this fierce predator. I grabbed Kitty into my arms and let him out the door in the kitchen. The chipmunk stopped oving when he heard the door open so Kitty didn’t see him because of the lack of movement. When he was about to dart to the fence n the corner of his eye the chipmunk tok off. The cat than walked to where the seeds were and rolled in them, heh.

Oh kitty, how I love you. Yesterday he got in trouble. He decided to jump on the shelves supporting the booze and than sniffed the ceiling and stretched his paw out to a nearby clock to either see if it could support his weight and jump on it or to just knock it down, he got yelled at promptly.

Work has become annoying lately, just a lot of buggering and knit picking over stupid things that some are too dumb to know the answer to or are just confused, bah. I think the person replacing me is complaining some more. I am just trying to get everything done perfectly with minimal work transferred to them so they can’t make a stink and say I left the stuff in ruins.

Getting to work was fun with a giant pickup going into my lane in front of me and than slowing down immediately because they are about to miss their exit, scarier still was seeing the big white pickup behind me dive into the lane tey just vacated because they were following too closely. People need some sort of license to drive a car.

I have gone to a few more stores looking at cameras and I am at a greater loss over which camera I should select. A lot of reviews say that the Panasonics leave too much noise over ISO100 but than some go on to say that is true for all similiar cameras and only true digital SLRs can overcome that. I’m so confused, of course most stores only have a lil picture as evidence of what kind of picture the camera can produce. I hate how some use a special battery, for a camera i need spares, a lot of people spend too much time reviewing pictures.

Kathy and I are still planning a vacation together in May or June to her parents’ place, we may stay for a night in London at Western since they use their dorms as a hotel for the summer. We wanted to look at the school a bit, this will let us be nice and close. While looking for touristy stuff in London I found a crystal chapel there that does weddings in an hour but also has a Drive Thru wedding service. They are apparently trying to emulate Vegas chapels by their own admission. My only question is where is Elvis! I joked with Kathy that we should mention this place to her Grandma before saying we are off to London see you soon.

I love fishy vaginal odour

Actually I don’t but I get that ad in my google ad thing all the time, it is a little creepy. If I didn’t talk about fish or vaginas all the time I’d be in the clear but I heart vaginas.

I have not seen the Big Bucking Chicken ad for burger king since the first day I saw it on TV and I saw it twice that day. Their website doesn’t even mention it. I guess they got angry letters or something or people realized that it would be a bit too much of a controversial ad to be worth it. You have to pick your battles carefully and well they got stockholders to please. As long as it means more of the King I am OK with it, his creepiness is neat. They should have had him riding the big bucking chicken. give it a bit more of a punch, maybe have it on Brokeback mountain with some other pudding eating cowboys to tie it in better with all the other gay signals they have tied in to their previous Burger King ads.

Ok that is a better Google ad, Fish Tank Coffe Tables. At first glance I thought it was about getting coffe stains out of your fish tank. I was going to link them but I just realized their site is just set up to make money. The idea is to link to buy ads to put on cheaper sites and than put better ads on their site so you click on their ad to make money. I.E. their site is void of content and is just a wasteland. I want a milkshake.

My fish tank is over half full, the water warmed up in it pretty quick and so far there is no signs of snails. If I bother getting clothes on I might go out and get cat food and a gold fish. The cat apprently requires food everyday.

I really suck training people on systems at work, I tend to overload them a bit with informations which isn’t really good for their first day.

Oh yes and try not to buy a Dell laptop, Kathy has just got her motherboard replaced for a third time and the computer wasn’t in working order when she got it back, she has to get a part replaced again and she just got it delivered. They sure did a thourough check of her computer.

Before about the Digital cameras I still haven’t found one that fits my criteria. Canon shoots at 4:3 ratio not 3:2 other than that they’d be perfect, Pansonic doesn’t have the shutter/aperature adjustments, most cameras actually don’t unless you go for soemthing much better/bigger/more expensive, les sigh.

My nephew just asaid his chemistry class is fun, I bet he is a meth head!

Kitty is King

My parents, well my mom was baby talking to kitty, I think he dug it. Yesterday he was so excited to show me that there is water in the fish tank and than he stared at it from the tv, the sofa, and the chair he just kept watching expecting something to happen.

My new job has been delayed for two more weeks because apparently my current area is too shorthanded. I did one price change and than played in access all day, in short I didn’t do much. Tomorrow I get to mail something, wow. I don’t think my pay will get boosted either : /

It is impossible to find a camera with specs that I want.4 seemingly simple things and I can’t find them.
1 It has to be able to take pictures at a resolution that is a ratio of 2:3. That way a picture can be taken and it doesn’t have to be cropped, in other words when it is snapped I know exactly what a printed picture will look like. Especially handy when handing over your camera to someone who tries using the whole screen area.

2 Use SD memory, it is cheap and fast.

3 Have apeture and shutter speed prioirty settings. I want to learn a bit more but don’t want to go all out and get a big SLR type camera. I know most power shot Canon’s have it but they don’t have number 1.

4 Responsive flash recycle times. My current camera takes 7 seconds between shots due to waiting for the flash, it doesn’t sound like much but if the first shot missed than that is a lot of waiting, it really sucks.

Kitty just buried his head in a blanket beside me, what a weird and probably cold cat.

Here is kitty playing volleyball

Here is kitty looking all heavenly

He isn’t soft though, he is a ferocious beast.

He has that look in his eye again, he needs meat

From when he first came into my life

He is a sleepy drunk

But he is so pretty

He is also a lazy cat, he lies and sleeps on his back a lot. I have never seen my sister’s cat ever lay or sleep on her back but he does it regularly. He jumped up on a bed after the curtain was open and the sun started shining down on the bed. He immediately laid on his back with his head almost hanging off the bed looking out the window

This is Trixie. She is my sister’s cat and was born March 1, 1988, I think, it may be 87. She has less fat on her body and when you pet her (and she demands being petted, but just for a short while) it feels a lot more boney than ever. She is so cute though. She does have arthritis and slowly walks up the stairs. My sister has actually got another food bowl and moved her other litter box to the main floor to accomodate her. When she goes to lay down on her tummy now, instead of folding her legs under her or in front of her she kind of just crosses them in front of her. I love her so.

And from Hallowe’en, I can’t remember if I posted it. I didn’t bother making a full size tetsaiga so I guess I am not a huge loser yet.

My stomache is full and I have gas : /

Kathy isn’t feeling very well, all I can do is offer hugs and hope it helps. Right now she is watching anime to try and catch up with me, Bleach specifically. Tommorrow we will get our discount on the bike we got. Kathy just finished making some Earl Grey, hope it helps, we are all out of oranges.

Went to Jack Astor’s for lunch and I had the bean chilli nachos, they are pretty darn good, yum. My food cost less than the salad. I feel so relieved. At work I guess it is tradition to go out and eat with the group when you leave, I suggested I wanted to go eat at A&W and well it is a little too low brow for everyone. I would have suggested the Zellers restauraunt but it’d take about 3 hours to get our food. I think it was decided to get chinease but I am going to check on Monday if it can be changed since it is a little far.

Kitty is as whiny and talkative as ever.

My eyes are a little sore and dry. They seem to be prone to scratchiness lately. My wrists are a little soar too.

I managed to do it

I have got sick, my eyes feel dry and my head is weird. A lot of people I know are sick too as well. Kitty jumped out of his chair, went to the other room, came back. Jumped on me and start purring and poking me with his paws to make me more comfortable and slept on me a lil bit. I’m going to try and sleep, I feel hungry but I ain’t a bunch. I got a new job.

My cat smells like snails

Just as I was writing an IM saying the cat was looking inside my fishtank looking for the water, he falls in. There was just water at the bottom with the rocks. He didn’t want me to help him out and he did jump footsies, he is so cute when he does that. Even after 10 minutes when he went into the other room his feet was still wet, I had to dry them off for him.

I spent a glorious weekend with Kathy. It still saddens me everythime Sunday night rolls around and I have to leave her warm embrace. We wnt to the Fr!nge festival at Laurier, some of the plays weren’t as funny as last year’s but it was pretty fun none the less. Between shows we were feeling lazy so we took the bus to the mall to eat at the food court, she was craving chinease, the Manchu Wok, and I had Mozza Burgers but we ended up splitting our meals between us. On Friday we had some Korean food, the chicken teriyaki was very good, I had some of the maki sushi, it was pretty good and priced well. It was in the plaza with New Orleans, I don’t recall the name of the place. You can tell it is authentic when Kathy and I were the only white people in there.

We wnt a little dollar store shopping at Dollarama where we got some nifty chop sticks, pretty light weight with good grips. I shall not drop a grain of rice again. Oh Henry Eggs are a god send, yum, they are like fat little Oh Henry Bars.

I think I am showing more confidence at work, I think it is just more bitterness coming through giving more snap answers without hesitation. Whatever does the trick.

I still haven’t molded anything out of my clay yet, I should but I just haven’t been ‘inspired’ yet and felt like getting off the sofa at the same time. Chuck Norris ate a sofa and shitted out a love seat and an armchair.

I need to take more pictures or at least adjust them better in photoshop afterwards. For those that are curious, gallery has some pictures, right now it just has Kathy’s brother and sister when they were here visiting us and some butterfly pictures.
