The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck
The maintenance people of the building I work in are evil. For weeks, we were complaining that the A/C wasn't working and our office was a sauna.
So of course, they “fix” it.
As I'm writing this, I'm wearing a t-shirt, a long-sleeved cotton shirt… and my winter jacket. It's fucking FREEZING in here.
Bastards.

More morning comic goodness:
Going to get some code done, back in a bit.
It's official, I'm getting another tattoo. I've finally decided on the design idea, went to see Norm tonight and left a deposit. I left him a copy of the picture that gave me the original idea and he's going to redo it, with the few changes we discussed. It's gonna be niiice :D
I just realized that it's been close to 5 years since my first ink, and 3 since my second. About the right time for another one :P
And because ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
eniran left this meme in my head during the evening, I had to go look it up, or I'd have gone mad.
Here's something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet
Then you slash through the skin
Give the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice
(Zut alors, I have missed one!)
Sacre bleu, what is this? How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent crab?
Quel dommage! What a loss! Here we go in the sauce
Now some flour, I think, just a dab
Now I stuff you with bread, it don't hurt 'cause you're dead
And you're certainly lucky you are
'Cause it's gonna be hot in my big silver pot
Toodle loo mon poisson
Au revoir!
I wish, but no.
I ran across this online and found it cute, so I decided to make an icon out of it. Feel free to use it:
Use a spell checker? Why? I can typo quite well.
Good way to start a morning. Chatted a bit with raspberrysalmon before leaving for the office. The more I talk with that girl, the more I like her. Always good. As per our usual weirdness, we talked about S&M and the muppets in the same sentences, and the intricacies of shipping personal items across international borders. She was grumpy because it's apparently a grey day in Austria, so I started up my webcam and lent her some of the sunlight in my room while I went to take a shower.
Now I'm at the office, clean-shaven, smelling good and in a good mood. Bring on the work!
Oh, found this comic this morning. S'cute:
Today was a semi-productive day. I say semi because I only did half of what I wanted to do. The day started on a very high note, with an empty bladder, a mug of fresh coffee and a slice of mom's apple pie, and a 2h conversation with raspberrysalmon and eniran. Much insanity ensued, some of which will find its way on here in a little bit. When we finally parted ways, eniran came over for chocolate chip pancakes and a trip to ikea. I remembered that I had to get rid of some translation crap for work, but once that was done, we headed off to rona for some tools required to rip chunks out of my kitchen.
Ikea was a bust, as they'd run out of the kitchen island I wanted to get (they'll have it in stock for next weekend). We got back to my place and tried to find the best way to rip out the ugly cramped benches in the breakfast nook. It's a good thing the people who built this apartment were idiots, because otherwise I'd have been in trouble. Their philosophy: why use only one nail when 17 will do? There were nails everywhere, hence the fact that happiness is a strong crowbar. Nothing makes you feel more manly than a hunk of cold-forged steel in your hands!
We got both benches out with a minimum of fuss. Dear lord, could there be more paint?!?! Now I know that it's a tradition in Montreal to just slap a fresh coat of pain on top of the old one every few years, but geez, there was a good 3-4 mm of paint holding those things to the walls. That might not sound much, but that's close to half a centimeter, and yes, that's a lot of paint. I'm going to have to do some post-op work though. Ripping out all of those nails left holes in the walls, and I'm going to have to fill that with some plaster. I'm also going to have to sand down the edges where the old paint met the benches because there's a significant height difference because of all that paint. All in all though, it won't be that bad, and now we don't have the ugly benches :D
