I had wanted to be in bed by now, but there are demons playing piano in my brain and keeping me awake.  Annoying as it is, it's worse for Val.  She came down with whatever deep-jungle lung-and-sinus rot that I just got over.  She's in for a hell of a ride.

I picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance on Friday and I absolutely love it.  This game is a ( Read more... )

My insane travels will land me in Wiarton this weekend.  Actually, I'll be leaving in a few hours.  I've never been there, but it looks like a long way on the map.  I believe Google when it tells me that it's 3+ hours.  Now, most people would probably make some assumptions about why I'm going to Wiarton on this particular weekend.  But I assure you ( Read more... )

I've decided to take the day off and I'm camped out on the couch watching a rip of "The Fog".  It's got Shannon from Lost in it.  It might be a little more entertaining if my sinuses didn't feel like exploding ( Read more... )

'28 Days Later' is on City tonight.  Sweet ( Read more... )

I was just sitting here finishing up a few small things before taking off for the day and I suddenly had a moment.  Perhaps it was the U2 music on the headphones, or the soft glow of the lamp on my desk, or the distinct lack of sleep that I'm working on.  Probably a combination of all of the above.  But I definitely had a moment.  A minute where I ( Read more... )

I can't say that I did much of anything on my day off.  I think I managed to win a few races in NfS:MW, and I watched "It's All Gone Pete Tong" which was hilarious for anyone who has ever ventured into the DJ lifestyle in the same way that "This Is Spinal Tap" was funny for people into 80's glam rock.

I also spent some time reorganizing my ever- ( Read more... )

Okay.  After a day off, I'm back to work.  A sick day in my first full week of work!  That has to be the lamest crap I've ever heard.  I'm not entirely happy with myself which is probably why I'm back today despite how I feel.  Now, I do feel a hell of a lot better than I did yesterday or Wednesday afternoon, but I've still got the shakes and swing ( Read more... )

Despite the fact that I woke up feeling pretty much 100% this morning, Val - on the other hand - has managed to aquire my illness and is pretty much couch-ridden.  As such, any hopes of us leaving town this weekend are pretty much down the tubes.  Which is both good and bad.  If nothing else it's turning out to be a wonderfully relaxing weekend ( Read more... )

The unofficial end of summer is here already. I wish I was a kid again, so summer would seem like a veritable eternity. And how stupid was I, dreading the return of school come Labour Day? Shit, what I would do to be able to go back to school now, rather than continue looking for a job. Fuck. Kids are stupid ( Read more... )

I'm sick. I have picked up something from one of the other gamers during Gildor last week. The culprit had just flown in from Mexico and was complaining about feeling under the weather. Now I feel under the weather. Directly under it in fact ( Read more... )
