I think I was going to... ohh! shiny thing!
Went to Archambeault to take advantage of my gift certificates, for some extra music on the road. I got myself The Arcade Fire's "Funeral", as well as the Violent Femmes' deluxe edition of their self-titled debut album, which rocks so much, it's amazing! The latter, at least, is excellent road music, we'll see about the former. Speaking of the Femmes, they have the most awesome trivia page ever, check it out, it's hilarious!
I'm still looking for Me Mom and Morgentaler's "Shiva Space Machine", which is possibly one of the most kick-arse ska album in the history of the world! Before the Planet Smashers, there was MM&M, described as "the Montreal supergroup of ska", stuck between the second and the third wave of ska, but doing stuff that would still fit right in today. Speaking of them, where are they now? Heh, their sax player was with the Planet Smashers for a while? How am I not surprised...
Was joined by gorbash_dragon for some coffee, where she also gave me a chocolate rose as a Christmas present. She was saying it was getting important that she gave it to me, before we got to Valentine's Day and that I'd start getting ideas, hahaha!
Got myself some new wipers to replace the fucked up ones I had (one was crapping out and the other I damaged while de-icing), so I can see what's happening in front of me when I'll be driving to Waterloo (quite important). They're pretty damned fancy "frame-less" wipers, never seen those before. Being frame-less, they're good to use during winter (as there is no fragile frame to damage), but they are also very aerodynamic, so you can use them in summer too! Am I ever easily entertained, or what?
I think the plan tomorrow will be to hit the Huether for a stout float upon our arrival (which should be at 8-9pm). There are rumours of andukar, pcolijn_rss, jbdeboer and Mr Wise (where is Mag?)! Then off to elliptic_curve's farewell party. Then we'll see and make it up as we go, as usual. :-)
I feel very inspired these days for all sorts of programming projects, but while it's very exciting, it's also rather frustrating, as I don't have time to actually work on them, and I also have ideas of what the previous idea would allow me to do once it would be done (but I need to do the first one first!) and so on... Also, they tend to all run into each others, so I sit down at the computer to work a bit on one of them, then I get an idea for the other, so I stop and start thinking about that... The net result being that I have a huge pile of reason for wanting to sit at a computer to hack instead of doing whatever I should be doing, and when I do so, I'm not really that productive. Scatterbrained me, gah!
Now, off to cook myself some tacos. Yes, I said cooking (although it's not really, just cooking the meat, adding spices then rolling them up)! Fear me!
Man, am I using exclamation marks, or what? It's so exciting! Whee!
