I did it!


Yeah baby yeah!

My posts may not have been the greatest, but I posted every day! (Including today!)

Yaaaay!

It's just 2 short weeks until school is over. At this time in 2 weeks, I'll be having a quiet drink, maybe a nap, doing a whole lot of NOTHING for a few weeks. No taking work home, no camping out in the library to do work, just "me" stuff. That will get old in about 15 minutes, then I'll start working on the presents that I have to finish (plenty of time...famous last words)

I would like to state that this guy is an idiot.
  1. When your lawyer gives you advice saying "This will cause you trouble. Be sure not to misrepresent yourself," putting a tiny note on a package saying "This is not a bomb" will not make everything OK
  2. When you are pulling a prank/setting up an elaborate stunt, be sure that you are not going to harm people more than giving them a scare (i.e. getting the police called, cancelling major events etc.)
  3. When you place a call to a the place where you planted the "bomb" and you think to yourself "I really haven't thought this through," that is your cue to STOP DOING IT, not leave a random message to a random person saying "Oh, the mysterious package in front of the building is not a bomb" and hang up.
  4. When you have qualms about getting your prof involved in some art thing because you think they'll get in trouble, maybe you shouldn't videotape your friend, or even do it yourself.
In all honesty, this is worse than that Mooninite thing, because this thing looked liked a pipe bomb, then there were random message saying that it wasn't. OF COURSE someone trying to successfully blow something up would say that it wasn't a bomb, because they'd want everyone to be acting normally when they blew it up! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH idiot. And now you are famous for being an idiot.

Taz and his Christmas Presents

(3 days left, I can do this, I won't stop now!)

So here's the story about my dog. He loooooves the Booda dog toys. I mean really loves. I mean he doesn't play with anything else, because he loves his Booda's so much. Every Christmas, we get him a new one. It used to be we got him one large one, and he'd tear it apart in a few months. We would remove the stuffing that he tore out, stitch it up and give it back.

Last winter we discovered the mini booda toys. He hasn't destroyed them yet, but they are really dirty. So we picked him up a new hippo-baby for him to gnaw on while we open presents. Mom also found a real-looking squirrel from the American Kennel Club.

So there's the story of my dog. It's a much better story than PHP scripting and AJAX and the badness.

A video letter to the people who said Toronto was a wimp...

...for closing the Grey Cup Pancake Breakfast. This is why they shut it down. You would have gotten lost and hit by a taxi.

This took 5 minutes to go from absolute sunshine and warm to complete whiteout with iced roads. I was at the Starbucks and the heavy door was blowing open.

10 minutes later, the sun was reflecting off of the icy roads.

Another Tuesday, another workday.

My sister is feeling icky, but she's at the doctor's so that's ok. As soon as she's home, I'm out of here to work elsewhere! Maybe I'll have lunch first though. Mmmmmm lunch.

Things I'm thinking about instead of doing school work:
  • Wine tracking thing for the bf
  • Should I get a cuecat scanner for librarything? It would make life easier
  • I wonder if there is a way of putting a default message template on twitter? Like if I wanted to post what I was cooking for dinner every evening, just click a button and type in the food name
  • I want to collect up a bunch of recipes, and take pictures of the Sistorb and I making them, then put it in a family cookbook.
  • Is there a way to control my desktop computer music from my laptop in the other room? Because that would be cool too
  • Maybe it should be lunchtime now. Maybe I'll wait half an hour.

Facebook is addictive
I added the graffitti thing, and it allows you to watch what the person is drawing
I've been sending messages to my sister this evening, hidden in other drawings
