Wow. Have I been delinquent

2005-02-28T03:18:27Z

Yeah yeah, so I havn't posted anything in a loooooong time. I've been busy. Lesse, in the past 6 months I have...

- Bought a house
- Made major (non-structural) changes to the inside of said house
- Almost blinded myself with an arc welder (x2)
- Worked week in and week out like a good little wage slave
- Applied to go back to school full time
- Discovered exactly how the capital gains inclustion rate will affect my life (and wallet) this year
- Learned even more about the Windows operating system that I ever wanted to know
- Learned more about a unix variant than I ever thought I would know

ummm... Yeah, that's about all I can think of at the moment

I spent my weekend patching my server-farm. Yay compile from source! Huzzah for shell scripting!

Starting out by asking if all tech support agents are trained baboons is not the way to get help.

So there we were

Standing outside The Rage, and this woman comes up and starts telling Barrett + me how cute she thinks we are. she just won't shut up about the cute thing. At first, we were seriously wondering if she was trying to pick us up, but it just got weirder and weirder. Her parting words were, "if you're going to be hanging around here, you'll be seeing a lot of me." jesus, that frightens me.

So he bought a bar

I just went to see Barrett on my lunch from work - he bought a bar. A couple of weeks ago, actually, but today is the first day I've seen it in daylight. Not much of a difference, considering that it's underground, but hey, it's still neat.

when I got there, the four of them were trying to fit a wooden platform-stage-type thing into a space that is physically too small for it. They did it, but I only saw the last 30 seconds of the effort.

Apparently wednesday is punk night, where they play punk rock. Consensus says it's not music, buy hey, they seem to like it, right?

I was working door for the fashion show the other night. Someone got really good change at some point, 'cause I had a 50 in the box at the middle of the evening, but not at the end, and I know I'm not $50 richer. Either way, there was still a good take from the door, so neither of us are too concerned.

Barrett should try and get on CBC - they have a program called Out Front, where they do audio documentries about people doing interesting things.

Just gota call from the better half - she took one of the cats to the vet today. Harry. He's not actually ours, just kind of on long-term loan while his owner (Marc) is in China, and we get the joy of looking after him. Apparently the cat has an irregular heartbeat, and needs an EKG. this is, most likely, a complication of his ongoing hyperthyroid issue, which has been an adventure in and of it self. I seriously wish we could get the cat on a drug plan, but that'll never happen - at least not without *experimental* drugs...

Yeah yeah, shut up. I'm blogging

2004-06-15T21:46:59Z

I thought I would never do it, I swore I wouldn't do it. but here I am, blogging. Crap.

Assume that the generic start of writing introspection has been inserted here.

Didn't people use to use usenet for this sort of thing?
