I went and saw Star Wars Ep III yesterday. It was meh. Actually, it started out terribly, but then somewhere along the line it got decent. I think it was when people stopped talking. I do have to say that I was quite impressed with Chancellor Palpatine. The man orchestrated everything and played everyone else for fools ( Read more... )

No KitKat in the vending machine today, so I decided to try a Smarties Bar.

Is it just me, or does embedding candy covered chocolate inside more chocolate sound a bit excessive?

Pretty good though. Like a milk chocolate bar, but with a little bit of crunch.

I went to see Batman Begins at Blair yesterday. Only I didn't actually see it.

I decided to go to Casey's for lunch before going to movie, and I picked up one of the free Xpress papers to read. In the movie reviews section, there was an entry for Howl's Moving Castle, which was surprising as I didn't think it was playing in Ottawa. It turns out ( Read more... )

My boss isn't here today, and isn't going to be in Monday. Which is unfortunate, because I need feedback on reports that I have finished writing.

Ah well. Life is very boring here in Ottawa. I still haven't seen Star Wars yet. Maybe I'll go this weekend. Also should see Batman Begins. I don't think I will see either though. Just don't feel ( Read more... )

There's a problem with the computer system I use at work, so I thought I'd post a journal entry ( Read more... )

I read Dead Witch Walking, by Kim Harrison, last night. It's pretty good, and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel. But it was weird, I'm 99% sure that I have not read this book before. In fact, the first three quarters were completely new. Then as I was reading the ending, I had the strangest feeling that I had read or encountered this ( Read more... )

I got new glasses today! Ones with actual frames. They feel really weird, actually, as they are much smaller than my previous glasses. It's odd, having two bands of metal arcing across my view. Ah well, time for a change (and this allows me to get contacts and have everything be the same prescription ( Read more... )

I haven't posted anything in a while. I really should. Instead I'll leave a link to a really good World of Warcraft music video:

I decided to go wandering about today, avoiding studying for Databases. I had some store credit from the used bookstore near University & Weber, so on a whim I went to see what I could find.

And I found Kate Elliot's The Law of Becoming, Book 4 in her Jaran series! I've been looking for this book for over a year now, and was contemplating ( Read more... )

It looks like I'll be spending the summer in Ottawa. The place I worked last fall is offering me a short term contract with them. So the plan is to work for them for the first six weeks, and look for a real job at the same time. Hopefully it will go well ( Read more... )
