Now that's something you don't see every day

Posted on August 17, 2005 By admin

I just went to the bathroom for a wee break. When I walked in, a dude was washing his feet in the sink.

Mmmokay.

For those of you who might remember the fart game from Eddie Murphy's stand-ups… I lost it tonight.

I'm gassy today, as in ridiculously so, and it's not fun. It's been coming out both ends in constant bursts. Niiiiiiiiiiiice.

Harry Potter Mania

Posted on July 20, 2005 By admin 12 Comments on Harry Potter Mania

I just finished reading the latest Harry Potter book this morning on the bus to work. I'm impressed – compared to the last 2 books, it's quite well written and the storyline is solid. I'm really looking forward to the last book in the series, but that'll probably be in a few years now.

I've been giggling a bit to myself lately because people seem to be losing their collective minds over this book. The tin-foil hat brigade is out big-time online to try and figure out what's going to happen in the last book. I've also been amused at the antics of people who try and piss off the most people by randomly posting spoilers online. Hell, there have even been reported incidents of “drive-by spoilage” where people drive by bookstores and yell stuff out their car windows. Gotta love the fandom and the fan-bashers :)

Oh, while I'm thinking of it, does anybody in Montreal have my copy of Order of the Phoenix? I can't seem to find it here and it's aggravating me to no extent :(

1) I can't leave home without having checked that I have my keys, wallet, antihistamines, cell phone, epipen and that my oven is properly off (even if I haven't actually used it that day). Even if it's to go to the corner store to pick up a loaf of bread. I can check this multiple times before actually leaving the house. I think I have mild OCD but can't really be bothered to do anything about it. My friends call this my macarena dance.

2) Even though I can remember trivial facts from years ago, I have crap short-term memory and am therefore always writing things down on bits of paper. Every few weeks, I go through all my pockets and wallet to purge all a not insignificant biomass.

3) When I'm busy doing something, the world can crumble around me and I won't really notice it.

4) When I'm concentrating on something, I tend to tuck my chin in my shirt up to my nose. I can't really tell you why.

5) I'm addicted to my email and can check it, without exageration, about 150 times a day.

No, this is not Phil's Taxi Service

Posted on July 2, 2005 By admin

My phone number is one-off from a taxi serice. The taxi is 918, I'm 819. This means that once in a while, we get the occasional random phone call (usually either really late or really early) asking for a cab.

This morning, I spent 2 minutes arguing with a little old lady that no, this wasn't Phil's Taxi Service:

LOL: I'd like a taxi please
me: I'm sorry, you have a wrong number
LOL: No I don't, this is Phil's Taxi Service
me: I'm sorry ma'am, but it's not.
LOL: Yes it is, I have the number on the card right in front of me XXXXXXXX918
me: You've reached XXXXXXXX819.
LOL: That's what I said. Now I'd like a cab.
me: *silence*
me: I'm really sorry ma'am, but this is a private flat, not a taxi service
LOL: Oh bother (she actually said that) *hangs up*

I was told off because I wouldn't send a cab out to her. If I'd have been just a bit more evil, I'd have taken her address down and hung up way before the end of that stupid conversation…

Not the best weekend ever

Posted on June 19, 2005 By admin

For the second day running, I slept for shit. Bad dreams, too hot, too many things running in my mind. I've been in and out of bed since 5am this morning. I can't stay in bed when I'm awake cause my back starts playing up, but at the same time, I'd like to be there when the girl wakes up. She's currently snoring away – lucky girl. She doesn't know how beautiful she is just lying like that and she doesn't believe me when I tell her so.
