Back home

Why is there snow, again?

5/04/2007

It was just some random 10 minute bursts of wet, in your face snow yesterday that pretty much melted as it hit the ground. But with the evening cooling down even more and overnight I woke up to another cold day with yet another snow covered ground day. That spring is coming, right?

My living room is an utter mess, I’m kinda hoping when I drop by at home today for a bit I’ll find it magically fixed. I don’t have any huge objections for now since I barely spend any time there and didn’t have any plans to have anyone over, but meh Holden’s got a few days to fix it. My flowers looks nice though :P

Had a date…. er squash date with Steph yesterday. Since Adam was busy visiting friends I figured I’d play with someone else just to be different. ’twas good times and we gotta do that again sometime.

There will be thunder and lightning…

3/04/2007

There will be thunder and lightning, possibly stolen as a tag line from the completely free soundtrack for a documentary available here. But today there was lightning and thunder, it was in fact only missing one ingredient, about 10 more degrees of warmth :P Had a “party” at work, Dave, Yuek-fen, Mike and Julian somehow all ended up in our office. I think anyone coming to our desk at the time was strangely confused, but it sure helped to pass the time. Then we went on a roadtrip!

Ok, so maybe the roadtrip’s purpose of getting Dave his new hard drive, which we insist is purely for more porn, isn’t as exciting as it may be. But by now it should be fairly obvious that we make any trip exciting. Julian insisted on getting a cart, I insisted we don’t need one, we went with his plan, then were forced to abandon it after filling it with one too many items we weren’t actually going to buy XD They had some nice demonstration seats, we used all 3, while sitting in them we decided Costco should actually pay us for that “job”. A clothing isle later we found some PS3’s — actually a lot of PS3’s, if only Sony was serious about this, I’d be instantly $15,000 richer. They were interestingly stacked on top of each other, and it looked like the top $800 box has seen the 1 meter drop to the concrete floor at least a few times XD

I bought the James Bond DVD (why is the cover so bad?), while in line, I was politely told by Julian and Dave that it wasn’t the widescreen edition, we had to wait in line again :( Julian’s membership expired, he had to pay $106 to buy beef jerky :( It was amusing when Dave tried to pay for everything and the cashier said “Oh, you can’t do that… it has to be the member’s debit card.”, undeterred we only had one answer “Well, we could just you know give him (Julian) the PIN and the card”, *silence*, cashier “Right then, go ahead, but only this time, next time bring cash.”, Julian “If you get in trouble just tell them I yelled at you.”

A wrong parking lot later, almost deciding to try and drive over a curve, and sitting behind a salesperson counter for a while we also added a FutureShop visit to our list, in fact, we all ended up buying DVD’s. Take that stupid MPAA, I’m like the main cause of file-sharing at my university and I buy DVD’s, stupid company >.<

Which brings us to thunder and lightning… the clouds were ominous and black, it was coming, and I was totally like yey! Standing around in the rain for a while by the car wasn’t enough, so I took matters in my own hands and after getting home went to finish the job by getting totally soaked, could have been warmer :( Then I got some books, could have been more exciting, then I thought I lost one of my huge towels, then my bed could have been longer. Anyway, that’s really it, it’s Easter this weekend, I should visit home, and with Sharon going home it seems like a good plan.
