I am back.

guelph.unna.org/misato.chuma.org are still down though. The line card hasn’t been installed on my line yet, and actually the phone jack in the computer room isn’t even wired. Bleh. Gotta call torfree and buy a long phone extension.

no… no more packing… must stop… boxes… cats… aaagh!

How can so much stuff be packed and yet so much stuff is still around? Will moving be awful, hellish hell or will our volunteer packers come through and not die of exhaustion? Tune in on Thursday… The Home Show sucks ass. Oh, and here is the BIG SECRET: all of the prices on the […]

tiny good things

So I lost my security pass for work two days ago. I went to the building management office yesterday to order a new one, it costs $25. In the meantime I’ve been signing myself in at the front desk. So I go this morning to pick up my replacement pass, $25 in hand. But wait! […]

10 days until moving day

can’t wait. can’t wait. so much stuff in boxes… so much stuff that still has to be put into boxes… Sandy has been bouncing around the idea of getting a laptop again.

I’m not angry at everyone anymore, don’t worry.

The freaky April ice storm on Thursday evening created an unexpected three-day weekend for Sandy and I – there was no way I could have gotten to work on Friday, and the University was closed for the first time in twenty years. Besides watching a lot of Six Feet Under this weekend (almost caught up […]

sooothing music…..yes, with three o’s……. is good for forgetting about stupid contractors who trash our things and don’t plug in the refrigerator so that ALL OUR FOOD GOES BAD AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HIT HIM IN THE FACE WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER AND THEN GIVE IT SO SANDY SO SHE CAN DO IT […]

Back? Back, yes.

Car got broken into on Thursday, stereo stolen. Why would fuckwits want a three year old nothing special Pioneer deck? Because it was easy to drill the lock, and because I didn’t take the faceplate off. Suddenly car insurance does something for you. TheStar.com – Soundtrack for the city: 50 songs for Toronto. Man, there’s […]
