Month: May 2004

Well, the building A/C is at it again. I'm typing with my winter scarf around my neck, and a coworker is wearing my winter coat (I lent it to him, cause he's freezing in his t-shirt). This is completely nuts.

Reused a code snippet from mekez to automatically connect to the Loto-Quebec website and check to see if I won or not. Check it out here. If I win, I'm soooo taking a vacation (guess where!)

Slept for shit again last night. Had another series of painfully weird and disturbing dreams. I hate this. I really need to put some stuff to rest at work and elsewhere, so I can start relaxing and start sleeping well again.

† We really are listening to xmas carrols at the office…

Well, today didn't go as planned…

Went to ikea, but the friggin kitchen island was sold out, AGAIN! That's twice in a row that I go to ikea only to find that its sold out. Fuuuck.

Came back home with some sandpaper for the plaster. I semi-sealed off the breakfast nook with an old shower curtain, to try and minimize the dust in my kitchen. For all the good that did… it looks like it snowed inside my apartment. It's going to be a bitch to get rid of all the plaster dust, gaaaaah.

Edit: well, after a few bucketfuls of water, my kitchen is now clean again, though I'll have to redo a bunch of dishes, blergh. I also forgot to mention that only eniran could find sex toys in a hardware store…

There is. With freshly hatched chicks, even. I was out on our balcony last night with my roommate, when she informed me that the chirping noise that I was hearing was coming from the BBQ.

Sweet.

Waiting for eniran to call so we can go to Ikea (yay!). In the meantime, I'm updating my interests. Do we have any new ones in common?

I was up early this morning, even though I slept well. Had some coffee (yay, caffeine!) and went to flake out in front of the TV with my cup o' java and some freshly baked chocolate muffins. For reasons that are unknown to me, I watched party animals, on MuchMusic… Gah, I felt stupid for watching it, but even though I channel surfed, I more often than not ended back where I started… I feel dumber for having seen that show.

Forgive me, little brain cells.

From the website: Much VJ Amanda Walsh counts down Hollywood's top 15 superstar socialites including Paris and Nikki Hilton, Ashton Kutcher, Madonna, P. Diddy, Pink and many more. See these A-listers rip it up in VIP clubs, resorts and world-famous hotspots – featuring hot clips, dos and don'ts when attending celebrity soirées, and must-know tricks to crash a starpacked bash.

Today was a very domestic day. Did my dishes, some laundry (yay for fresh, still-warm-from-the-dryer sheets), my groceries and now I'm making a big batch of my pasta sauce. Talked a bit with raspberrysalmon, and now I think I'm going to go become one with my couch while the sauce simmers. I don't want to take a nap, even if it's uber tempting right now. I think if I do, there's no way in hell I'm going to get up to go to Ben's birthday party tonight.

I think I'm just going to pop over for a bit and say hello to people, but I don't really feel like spending yet another night drinking. That would make it 3 nights running, and that would be just wrong.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Ikea to pick up my kitchen island with eniran, and I still need to go buy some sanding paper to finish the plaster. I'll paint next weekend :) Sounds like a plan.

And remember, all vegetables are equal – but some veggies are more equal than others.

Even though work is giving me conniptions, I'm in a good mood right now. I just spent a lovely afternoon sharing music with a very special person halfway across the world.

Long live the internet :)

I cannot give you a working, sane spec for 4 different servlets in 10 minutes. I can, but it will be crap and will probably completely morph while I'm coding it. As soon as I get this done, you'll be the first to know, but you asking me for it every 5 minutes really doesn't help, nor does you telling me to work on something while thinking it's something else. I'm not psychic.

I will work on it, with utmost expediency and to the best of my capacity, and as soon as it's done it'll be in your inbox.

Sadly, common sense intervened and I only sent the first two sentences of the reply.
