world demise

Posted on July 10th, 2001 in my ramblings.

From the Apocalypse Watch section in today’s Chrominance: …first on the list is the latest Sunny Delight advertising campaign. Maybe you’ve seen this, or maybe it’s a Canada only campaign; it involves an Austin-Powers-MiniMe-like villain scheming to harness the power of the California Sun. Ooops, too late, because Sunny D’s already done it! What I’d […]

savage beatings all night long, doo dah, doo dah,

Posted on July 10th, 2001 in my ramblings.

AOL users who can’t follow instructions e-mailed to them: go away. Yesterday was hot. Really hot. In the morning, a young woman fainted on my subway car. This past lunch hour I sweated down while running around getting all of the necessary pieces to get an ISIC card and a train ticket (photo, change for […]

race cars and roast beast

Posted on July 9th, 2001 in my ramblings.

I just mistyped that as ‘roast beats’ three times. Hrm. Anyways, weekend was awesome. Saw Sandy after two weeks apart, on Saturday we went to the races at Mosport Speedway. I got to ride in the pace car before the races got rained out. It was still fun to see everything. On Sunday we went […]

more bitching at Canada Post

Posted on July 6th, 2001 in my ramblings.

I already mentioned that the new Canada Post website is a putrid mound of Flash and ASP garbage, rendering it slow as all hell and totally unintuitive. Well, now I just found the “text only” site. If you go through the “splash” (shudder) page and select your language, there is a link at the bottom […]

I’m looking forward to sleeping

Posted on July 6th, 2001 in my ramblings.

I was up late last night burning CDs, and didn’t wake up until 7:15. My alarm clock was doing something strange as well; the alarm didn’t sound very healthy. Maybe the 5+ year old battery is finally dying. Yay for seeing Sandy this weekend. I miss her. Full weekend planned: car racing Saturday, family picnic […]

McDonald’s Girl

Posted on July 4th, 2001 in my ramblings.

Finally burned some good ol’ Canadian bands onto an MP3 CD. . When I was born they looked at me and said What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy And when you were born they looked at you and said What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a […]

more crap in one place than anywhere else I have ever been

Posted on July 2nd, 2001 in my ramblings.

Happy Canada Day everyone! Hopefully the weather yesterday was nicer than there I was. On the coast of Lake Huron, the winds blew sand in my face. Yum! On Georgian Bay, things were nice and calm. Didn’t get to go swimming, but it was still a nice day out. Visited some kind of buy/sell/whatever shop […]
