Month: February 2005

  • CBC News: Federal ‘feebate’ could pinch SUV buyers – good. Screw SUVs.

    And the people in this article who are against this fee are all like “people won’t be able to take their kids to hockey games or pull their camper”. Jesus. I can fit a hockey bag in a Pontiac Vibe just as well as I can put it into a Ford Explorer. Except one uses half the fuel. And you know, if you can afford your own camper trailer, then you can probably afford the fee for your gas-guzzing SUV. If you can’t, it’s probably cheaper in the long run to buy a small car and then rent a bigger vehicle occasionally when you need one.

    Car dealers won’t like this because SUVs are hot sellers and they make huge margins on them. For christ sakes people, PROFIT IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD.

  • February is a good but sucky month

    1. It’s Valentine’s Day! Everyone loves Valentine’s Day, except for those lonely, bitter, jaded people. Not me, not this year. This year I surprised Sandy on the Saturday before, and she loved it. Plus I got us tickets to Wicked which she really wants to see. I got a new wrist rest for my mouse which I really needed.
    2. It’s Sandy’s Birthday! Well it was on Saturday the 19th. We had already gotten her birthday present, an electric guitar, so on her birthday we went out for dinner with our friends. However, as usual for Sandy’s birthday, things did not go off without a hitch… when we got to the restaurant, Montana’s in Whitby, they were packed and even though we had a reservation, they had give our freakin’ table away! When the manager came to the front he was packing attitude and after we had waited 20 minutes told us it would be another 20 minutes for us, and that it was OUR fault our table was gone. Bloody bastards! So we ended up calling around and went to East Side Mario’s out in Oshawa! Finally. Well we had a damn nice time at East Side’s with a really nice waitress and bad-mouthing Montana’s all the way. So it ended up fine. Sandy really wanted to see our niece Raven and she was there, and such a good kid! She didn’t cry once through the whole thing.
    3. Our basement. It’s coming along slowly. We’re working on finishing the drywall, and then painting the walls. Then Sandy’s dad will come back and do the ceiling, and we’ll get someone in to carpet it, and we’re done. Then it will kick ass! Yeah! We can’t wait.
    4. Winter. I’m sick of it. Let’s move it along now.

    MSN is down. 10 minutes ago I couldn’t even see this message on their site.

  • Scrobblin’

    I signed up for AudioScrobbler. It’s a cool service that keeps track of what you listen to and compiles statistics, as well as matching you to people with similar musical tastes so you can see what they listen too.

    This is my page. I’ll have to add a link to this on the sidebar somewhere, or hook into their syndication feed.

  • Civil Marriage Act – It’s been tabled today. It’s about time.
