My LJ's back and you're gonna be in trouble! Hey la lee la, my LJ's back!

Posted on January 16, 2005 By admin 20 Comments on My LJ's back and you're gonna be in trouble! Hey la lee la, my LJ's back!

Yesterday, I was domestic. I did a stupid amount of laundry, finally got through the pile of dishes festering on my countertop, scared the scat out of the cat with the vacuum cleaner and did my groceries. I kinda sorta like days like this, as I can see what I get done and feel good about it, even though I despise doing dishes. Next frivolous purchase goes towards a dishwasher (stainless steel, o'course).

While I was slaving away, Boris was in full cat mode. Observe:

   

It's a hard life, I tells ya. I had to laugh at him so hard yesterday though. He's very fond of going to the bathroom with people. Normally, he'll use the toilet as a springboard to get on the sink to have a drink. He'll look at you and meow until you turn on the water. This time, however, things went a bit awry cause someone had left the toilet seat up, so when he jumped on the toilet, his front paws slipped off the rim and he got a bit of a dunking :D He how looks carefully before jumping.


Stephane came over last night for a chill evening mostly spent the night watching bad tv and chitchating. He'd brought a movie called High Crimes which turned out to be really good – this is surprising as we usually have completely different movie tastes. *good frenchman, pats your head*

Watched the tail end of mythbusters and after that is when the bad tv kicked in. We watched a godawful movie on the sci-fi channel called Sleeping Dogs. It's a Canadian/US/Czech production that was…bad doesn't start to say it. This goes beyond the B-movie, with bad plot, over the top acting and gratuitous T&A shots – which is basically why we stayed up watching it. Well, that and because he wanted to tape another worse movie on my VCR and my remote was dead, so I couldn't program it in. That movie, believe it or not, is called Killer Condom, and is a German movie about penis-eating condoms… And people say *I* am weird.


Today will be spent getting ready to fly to Toronto for a meeting at Mt.Sinai hospital monday morning. Going to do some background reading and stuff and stuff.

But first, PANCAKES!

So apparently I'm acting my age

Posted on January 13, 2005 By admin 11 Comments on So apparently I'm acting my age
You Are 30 Years Old
30
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view – and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come… love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

some people have the gift to suck the happiness right out of your day

IT'S A FUCKING MICROWAVE, BITCH, NOT YOUR OWN PERSONAL FIEFDOM!

I've just been told off for using the “office staff” microwave by the secretary-with-the-permanent-scowl. I hate people like that, who feel the need to exclude everybody not within their little safe boundaries. I'm staff. I work in the office right next to theirs. But I'm not *office* staff, therefore I can't use their fucking microwave.

People like that really push my buttons.

I was having a nice day.

Now, I just want to go over there and pee in her teapot.


Edit: before you people think I'm a drama queen, it's also the tone in which she told me off. It wasn't a polite information that I wasn't allowed to use that facility, it was an arrogant, obnoxious “you can't use this microwave. it's for office staff only. you have to leave now, ok?!”

Urgh.

A swig of benzene

Posted on January 12, 2005 By admin 5 Comments on A swig of benzene

That's the subject line of the latest spam I got this morning. I found it amusing.

I just got my McGill staff ID card. I'm happy with it, I don't look like a deranged psycho killer on the picture.

On the metro on my way to work this morning, I wanted to seriously rant on someone. A guy was standing right next to me and kept sniffling. Not tiny discrete sniffles that everybody does once in a while. We're talking full-body-you-can-hear-it-all-the-way-across-the-train SNKZKSKKSNKKKSKKKSKKKSRZRRRT snurfles that were disgusting as hell. You could imagine the gallons of snot the guy was slurping. It was truly repulsive. I was contemplating getting off and switching trains at one point when he got off. I almost applauded.

Quote of the day

- "My granny says that dying is like going to sleep," Mort added, a shade hopefully.
- I WOULDN'T KNOW. I HAVE DONE NEITHER.
