Category: my ramblings

I know I’ve used that title before. I don’t care about repeating titles anymore though.

Today the big thing was the CASU elections. I was running uncontested for Chairperson, and I got it! Yay me! Sandy got Treasurer, and the rest were filled by new people (except for Secretary, which is unfilled). I’m looking forward to working with some new, fresh people with new ideas, full of enthusiasm.

Last night at midnight I realized that I had an assignment due at 4pm today. After hitting myself over the head for a while, I got it done and handed it in on time.

The latest Mozilla build is so fast that I can now use the Modern skin comfortably! Yippy Skippy!

Sandy is feeling better now too. Tomorrow we’re going out for our six month anniversary (which is actually on Thursday, but Sandy has to work).

I just got back from my brief jaunt in Toronto. It was good to see Calum and Jordan again. I hadn’t seen Jordan since… September I think. A good time was had by all.

LEGO finds: Calum and I went to Sears Outlet Rexdale and found a 3409 Championship Challenge for only $35 – 30% ! I had to pick it up. And today on my way back to Guelph I stopped at Sears Liquidation Brampton and found three X-Wing Collectors’ Series sets for $100 each. I didn’t have the money to spend on one but I immediately called Calum and alerted him.

I did miss Sandy a lot this weekend though. She had a rough time at work and I wish I had been home last night for her. And our furnace went out again and required a $250 repair at 2am. Must… kill… landlord…

Visiting Jordan in Toronto. Ate Chinese take-out. Tipova didn’t show, the bastard. Yes, you heard me. Lazy damn bastard.

Sat down at this computer, opened up the the MP3 folder, and decided that I would listen to The B52’s – Roam.

Yes, I changed the colour scheme yesterday. Do not adjust your set. Now I just have to find / take a new header picture – I think it’s about time for a new one. I think I have an idea for a photo actually – you’ll all see it when I’m done.

I also added the links above to my friends’ diaries, and some other sites that I read.

There were seven people in my 1:00 class just now. Seven. You think that the professor would get a clue that his lectures are uninteresting, boring, and a complete and utter waste of his and our time?

Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel…

Calum, you are one weird guy.

Ouchy the Clown

Meeting facilitator: Sure, it’s weird to have a clown facilitator, but you’ve seen stranger things, I’m sure.

Whenever I need to feel good, or annoy the bejeezus out of everyone within a kilometre radius of my subwoofer, I crank up Len. How can you hate a group that has the CN Tower intheir video?? I didn’t think you could. That’s right.

I am almost cured! Yay!

And I just might have a job for the summer. I have to do my resume. Oh yeah. I should get on that.

…whatever the means, time is still critical
so don’t clock this work, take it for what it’s worth…
Rascalz – Clockwork

Lip and mouth feeling a lot better this evening. I made a follow-up appointment for Monday, but things are great right now.

I’ve been playing PSX quite a bit now. I don’t think I’ve gotten excessive: it’s not as if you can’t pry me off the thing, but Final Fantasy 8 is just such a great game. There are parts of it that I dislike: the actual game/character system itsenf took a lot of getting used to, especially the junctioning, but I learned most of it now (and there are built-in tutorials). Yesterday afternoon though I got sucked in when I promised Sandy I would spend some time with her. I didn’t even realize that I was doing it. She got a bit mad at me with good reason, but we patched things up.

Today I made a point of going to the-flower-shop-that-is-never-open and buying her a boquet of flowers. Nice flower shop: too bad they close at 4:30 every day, which is silly.

My lip is feeling somewhat better now, thanks to moderm medicine. I talked to my TA about my lack of involvment in my group’s design doc, and he seemed symphatetic and we’ll work things out.

If Mozilla crashes on me one more time I’m going to hit something. MozillaZine, give me updates!

Last night Sandy and I put up some of her Beanie Babies and Buddies for sale on eBay. In case anyone who reads this is interested in there, here it is.

I’m feeling in much better spirits today than I was yesterday, which is good. It’s sad that I can’t kiss Sandy though because of my stupid mouth. We did have fun today anyways though (and I WON!)

I want to feel better. What happens? My tonsils swell up and I get this ugly thing on my lip. Fucking bloody hell. Excuse me for being a bit sensitive, but when I don’t look good then I don’t feel good, and right now I have to hide my lip from the world. The doctor actually gave me some anti-viral medication though, so it should go away soon.

Weekend long. Finishing assignment now. Have long lab this evening. Can’t think right now. I need some major stress relief. Nic, I’m so there at the Pennywhistle this Friday.

It’s nice to see that the Mozilla guys have a sense of humour.
