oops.

all i could think of when i saw this picture was, "sorry. my bad."

from Yahoo news.

what to do when your conferene call gets cancelled

i originally had a conference call scheduled for this morning with one of our high-maintenance clients, but that got cancelled. i'm glad too because scheduled half-hour meetings with these people always turn into hour-and-a-half meetings that drive me nuts.

so in lieu of working on something important, i offer the public the following time-wasting items:

• a family caught a burglar in their home and force him to clean up the mess at gunpoint
• a guy created an Optimus Prime transformers Halloween costume with supplies he got from the local hardware store that actually looks like Optimus Prime and not just one of those cardbord "i'm a transformer" crap costumes.
• next year should be good for comic book movies. looks like we'll be getting Wolverine, Iron Man (let's hope they get Black Sabbath back together for the title track eh?), and possibly even Thor.
• Guitar Hero III is coming out this month.
• generally most rabbits do not approve of your actions. disapproving rabbits has the facts.
  

when you work two jobs, your time is not your own

yesterday my douchebag landlord finally returned my call to fix the dryer.

oh, did i mention that i also called her on monday, then again on thursday this week before i got the call back from her? oh, i s'pose not. i even stated on my last voicemail to her that if she wasn't going to call me back that i'd call someone else. i think she remembers the last time i made that threat because her call came later that afternoon. it wouldn't be the first time i've had to call her boss and ask if there was a different landlord i could deal with. three weeks and three phone calls to get one problem addressed. thankfully i'll be moving out of this building in november to a bigger and better place.

in somewhat less annoying news... apparently god has responded to the guy that is trying to sue him somewhere in the states - Yahoo news for that one eh.

also this weekend i'll be in the Kitchener and Waterloo area attending the Stitch n' Kitsch show. it's a great collection of artsy and crafty people who make and sell some really cool things. the last time i went i scored some kick ass hand made coffee mugs and a hand made notebook.

oh yeah, i mentioned before that i was getting rid of windows on my home computer, using Ubuntu Linux instead. my target is to find the easiest method for the average home user to be able to do this and still undertake certain tasks so i'm chronicling my dorky adventure here. essentially the reason for doing this is that 1) i don't feel like paying for the next version of windows and 2) even if i did want to pay for it, my computer's too old to run it. have a look at the the dork-osity if you dare.

daylight butthole time

working on the day of the time change always sucks. i hate when the alarm goes off in the morning and you have to sit there in that tired, dazed just-woke-up state and try to do the math to figure out if you should have got up an hour ago or if you can sleep in for another hour.

or in my case, try to decide if i had already set the clock so that it would go off at the right time last night.

sometimes i love the news, and other times i hate it. most news agencies let out a major spoiler in the comic world in the last few days (don't worry, if there are any comic fans reading this, i won't spoil it for you yet). it's kind of like if the news said "yeah, harry potter dies in this book" the day it was released. fuckers. though i do think Nick Fury's going to get Bucky to fill in coming soon, but that's my theory.



that being said, sometimes the news can redeem itself. one instance of this would be that it has advised me that a man decided that since his divorce settlement entitled half of the property to his wife, that it would be a good idea to make sure that she got half.

it's 11am and my day's almost over

here i sit at job number two. job number one started at around 2 this morning and thankfully, job number two ends in a few hours.

but because my capacity for rational thought is dwindling, today i will spend time laughing at the news:

• for example, two clowns were shot at a circus. now i know it's somewhat morbid and disrespectful to point fun at other people dying, but you gotta at least think that the only better way for a clown to go is if the headline read "volkswagen beetle hits lamp post, 35 clowns died"
• or a thief that got stuck in the snow trying to escape from a burglary. the place he tried to rob: the building next to a police dog training facility. an f+ for planning, but a b- in doing stupid things.
• and finally, a town in New Jersey will be enforcing a time limit on barking dogs. perhaps if the dogs bark too long, the owner will be spayed or neutered?

a great bad guy

rest in peace Jack Palance.

i think i'd have to say that one of my favourite roles of his was crime boss Carl Grissom in Batman.

and Curly in City Slickers of course...

"Hey Curly, kill anyone today?"

"The day ain't over yet..."

i hide my crack in my ass

i loves the news...

a naked man was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. i guess when you don't have any pockets your only option is to stuff your weapon up your arse.


televangelist Ted Haggard admitted to doing meth and getting a massage from a gay male prostitute, but denies allegations of sex with him. somehow drugs and a massage must me a little less gay than sex? not that there's anything wrong with that.

totally off topic, over the last couple of days it's really occurred to me that the new place that we've moved into is actually quite smaller than our old place despite statements assuring the opposite from my landlord. but then again, my landlord is a total douche bag so i suppose it really shouldn't surprise me all that much.

and because i'm a movie and tv nerd, i love WikiQuote. look for your favourite show and quote away.
