Reverse chronological order, the subject of a few recent movies, and the format we’ll be using today, although not pluraly to go through another weekend to Monday wrap up. First of all on the subject which Andrew so slightly called vaporware: our core router. We know it was supposed to be coming, but it’s not coming fast enough. The mob is not happy, and quite honestly the mob has a right to complain given how I just gave up trying to do something after the page timed out about 10 times over 10 minutes. I tried, really, I did, but something needs to be done about that and in an expedited process, maybe facebook isn’t the greatest indicator ever, but clubs growing daily titled ‘ResNet sucks’ and ‘ResNet is the bane of my life’ are pretty indicative.

Learned a whole lot about Battlefield 2142 today, from a friendly Felix, I still think the game is too much like Battlefield 2 which I did play very briefly and is not worth the money if you own the previous copy. Too many things too odd, too many things the same, and bundled spyware — it’s in the game, just not in my computer.

The weekend; really deservers it’s own post.

And last week seems like a complete blur in comparison to that really, so I think I’ll just stop now before the semi-wall of text intimidates too many people out of reading it.

Sometimes you get these songs that you know you like, and sometimes you get songs that you are just sadly addicted to and until they play about 100 times over you still like them. This one seems to belong to the latter category. I don’t know what it is, but I absolutely love how the song flows and the effect on the female vocals just fits in perfectly. Oh well, maybe I’ll just say it’s by Gigi D’Agostino and it’s called I’ll fly with you (bla bla remix).

Today’s blog is written by her Majesty, the all-mighty Queen Snuggets.  Sergey, the Epic Essay Enforcer, has been detained for drinking my wine!  Although I do owe him much praise for his essay enforcing that earned me an “A” on my first essay of the year, this crime supersedes all good deeds!  And on top of all this, he has littered the hood of my sweater with staples.  And so, this is why I, Miss Snuggets - owner of the red loveseat of wonder, producer of amazing Sergey-esque hairstyles - has taken over this blog.  If this is the last post and Sergey does not return to continue with his usual inserts, then it is safe to assume that he is in the Engineering fountain, where I have succeeded in throwing him and drowning him.  Thank you.

Sayonara Serugesan, ganbatte kudasai.  JA matta ne.

So much to talk about, so little of it boring, so much of it now seemingly too old to discuss. Ready?

Work! Last week was somewhat interesting. Some events went down that weren’t what could be termed exactly exciting and were actually kinda annoying. Sometimes decisions happen that maybe need to be made to fix some issues, but the solving decision actually breaks more situations then it solves. It’s kinda moot to linger on this point more, but I was honestly dissapointed to be at work that day for probably the first time ever. On the good side, our boss is back, and it’s resolved! Probably going to talk about it some more and there should actually be some ‘Tony the Tiger Grrreeat!’ changes coming out of this, which is good.

Steady?
Went to see The Illusionist on Friday with Sharon. We agreed to a meeting spot and a time, at 6:05 I pretty much made the assumption that she was lost. One phone call later, still on my old cell, common Rogers get my phone faster so I can spend some more money, we had it all figured out. You see she went to the arrow, on the map, on the wrong side of the road — plans kick ass ‘mrite?
In the defence of her sense of direction, I then almost crossed to the wrong side of the street for the bus too, then we discovered that King St. is numbered worse then the 5th floor of the dreaded MC building.
Walked most of the way home after, stopped off for Pita’s, those things continue to be really good — and it was nice since it was pretty cold outside.

Steady!
Saturday, cleaned up the room, again. Didn’t really arrange much of anything, last time Andrew was like what did you do! We went out for dinner at East Side Marios, the periodical dinner, just to meet the geeky, outoing, trouble making, and any other variety of people and friends from the DC++ hub. More details on that on Sharon’s blog, all I gotta say is thanks for coming out and good thing we got there early. Watched Serenity, probably 2nd best Captain ever, and Office Space, damn it feels good to be a gangster… Will definitely have to either do another dinner before the end of this semester or something else.
Despite anything you’ve read anywhere else, Sharon is actually totally more tiklish then me, it’s like her kryptonite; even better then a fountain! And oh yeah, I survived 2 days on the top bunk of my bunkbed, maybe by 2007 the bottom part will be fixed.

Go!
Sunday, I didn’t fall out of the bed, I did jump out of it though which probably looked just about the same Breakfast was kinda iffy, the guests hate bread, pizza is not a breakfast food (unless it’s already cooked) and Eeeeeeeeeh to perogies, which are probably getting made tonight.

DEFCON 1! Nuclear launch detected!
…
…
Haha @ Andrew’s east coast, then the game disconnected me while I was in the lead again, one of these times I’ll actually finish the game. Either way, definitely worth the $15 if you like any strategy or board games and the musical soundtrack for the game alone was totally worth it.

Ready?

Steady?!

New week, GO!

Most of it is all together, I was going to risk actually sleeping on it today, but am now way too tired to actually drag the mattress here and then get it ontop of the bed. I guess the kegger event for Friday is cancelled, but that’s fine, it’s been replaced with something equally promising. And ZZzzzz… now.

this tired. But for some reason I am. More on this developing story tommorow after I sleep another night in my living room bed. The black half finished metal construction in my room is seriously in need of getting finished. Moment of silence for the turkeys please.

First of all:

RUSS 442 LEC 0.50 Course ID: 008470
Russian Epic Tradition

Apparently I need to take this, because from the name alone it can’t go wrong.

Thanksgiving weekend is almost here, in fact just about 5 hours now until it’s here. My only dissapointments of this week was not knowing that it was Alexander Keiths birthday this week, and all the special activities that would normally be associated with that, Rogers not having a Motorola L7 in stock and I guess that’s about it for dissapointments.

Now moving onto the upsides! I’ve finally got an account on one of our servers at work today, only 2 weeks of asking, and it’s basically too late now since what had to be done is done, but I finally have that account (thanks Greg). Had a fun trip to FutureShop and the mall with Sharon. We were going to take the bus, after Andrew’s skeptical who’s giving you a ride look, except then the TurnKey desk was closed, also didn’t have any bus tickets and also we were in between 2 bus stops when the bus finally went by. It was a pretty good walk though either way. Of note is that FutureShop doesn’t seem to carry any Rogers phones anymore and they also don’t have The Last Unicorn.

To be continued momentarilly…

…like right now!

Yey another discussion with high overlord, Andrew says I’m a bastard, I was having fun : ) I honestly think in some way it is an art form to keep a completely serious face and tone of voice and just totally talk over people, helps with Bell Canada cancellations. By the way, Bell charged the CC, and broke our phone line in the process, so they’re getting a chargeback and already got another fix our phone phone call, this time from the university.

Really looking forward to seeing some friends in London too, haven’t been down there in a while, and only one of them’s taken the time to visit here. Next week seems pretty action packed too, I know I’m going to come back to a whole bunch of msn infected computers, oh well, maybe do some Ruby on Rails while I wait for all the scans to do their thing. In closing, I really feel like some chinese, or something different tonight for some reason, we’ll see what happens when I get home…

Excuses from Andrew incoming shortly…

Sharon can put elastics into hair! Now that that’s out of the way, the weekend was good times. Mongolian, Molleys, my place, friends place. The highlights are many and varied, and really depend on who’s view point you take. 9 - thanks Sharon. As I was saying, somewhere between having Joel actually show up and then convincing him to have more then a pop. Between the fun attempt of a walk to the LCBO before the obvious realisation that we are so not making it and the apparent inability of anyone to use bushes we went to my place. Which really brings us to the first sentence of this paragraph, and by the way, Eric, Adam, I know you have pictures and I fully expect those to be deleted or at least kept out of Sharon’s hands forever. We then messed around on the grass outside of REV, turns out we weren’t the only ones doing that as apparently there was a Fight Night in Rev East, silly people. Oh and I almost lost my keys, but whatever Adam went down hard!

Robot Chicken - is a really really weird show with like no plotline and completely random and sometimes amusing and othertimes o.O moments. I just had to mention in since we got to watch a few episodes of it.

We lost Emo, quite literally. He just walked off on his own, turns out he went to Sharon’s but I didn’t have my cell and for some reason no one else called, oh well, lesson learned. Grow taller and walk faster!

Still have yet to see this red wonder chair in a certain house, oh well, maybe next time. But I like my place, it’s now nice and clean. I even started putting my bunk bed together which was until now just taking up a lot of room in my room. I started  (Andrew was just bitching about the improper syntax and form of my topic, I know, I don’t care! ) getting it all together, but kinda got stopped since I didn’t have a scredriver to actually tighten any of the screws more so then I could by hand, oh well, try to finish it today.

Some fun news from work, maybe new equipment, Milky has now finally been setup properly and we’ve already broken the total concurrent user count on the server and the total shared amount: 748 users and 22TB of data, not bad. Adopted a pokemon theme and Pikachu and Charzard(-i) are now new file-servers, trade off for people not using BitTorrent, which should hopefully soon be mostly broken anyway - yey and nay at the same time, but it has to get done.

Sharon didn’t get her interview, silly Bomber, but I’m sure she’ll get the job anyway tommorow if they’re that busy today and missing people. Looks like we’re going to try and have a game of volleyball tommorow, too bad some people are busy after work today as it’s a nice day.
