I spent the better part
I spent the better part of the afternoon (after I woke up) cleaning the kitchen and living area with dave. Some things, like the top of the fridge, probably haven’t been cleaned since we got here. Now, to get started on my own room.
There have been a lot
There have been a lot of large vehicles rumbling past my window for the last hour or so. It’s all probably been snow removal equipment, but i don’t really understand the influx during the wee hours of the night. Bah, I’m done screwing around with webpages for the evening, time to go do some reading.
Comments on the layout are always welcome, good, bad, whatever.
A happy new year to
A happy new year to all. I’ve spent the last couple days working on a film project with my housemate dave. It seems to be going pretty well so far, we might distribute it on the internet once we finish up.
I got bored with the previous site design tonight and decided to redo it. I still have to play around with the font s and text layout, because it doesn’t seem quite right.
I took the pooh personality
I took the pooh personality quiz and ended up being pooh. It’s kind of odd because the description is pretty much on the ball.
I remembered seeing something back
I remembered seeing something back in the summer about tracking where your money has been. There’s a couple of sites for tracking Canadian money; Canadian Money Tracker and Where’s Willy. I’ve entered a couple bills, but no luck yet.
Another lazy day, woke up
Another lazy day, woke up late and just chilled for a bit. Ended up going out for a bit of shopping using gift certificates at stores that I don’t have access to back in kingston (I’ll probably be headed back there tomorrow). I picked up a Rushmore and Grosse Pointe Blank on dvd; they were bundled together and available for a nice cheap price. My parents gave me The Godfather dvd set for christmas, so i’ve added a few titles to my collection. Also went to Canadian Tire and picked up a weird light and a power bar.
My dad decided awhile ago that he wanted to get a dvd player to replace the vcr that broke downstairs. We picked one up today to take advantage of the boxing day sales. I ended up watching Rushmore with my brother to test the player out.
Well so far, the daily
Well so far, the daily section hasn’t been all that daily. I’ve been taking lots of pictures and i’ve wanted to get moving on the site design, but i’m kind of limited by the resources on this computer at home. Maybe I’ll get something done once I’ve found a copy of photoshop.
Merry Christmas to all those that celebrate. I’ve been finding that I have quite a bit of trouble with Christianity and believing in any of it. Like any other religion it should be taken with a grain of salt. The bible, koran and so forth are really just a two-thousand year old books about better living. They give good advice, ie don’t kill people, don’t eat uncooked meat. See if you eat meat with blood still in it, your lible to get sick because god is angry at you (a nice way to explain things in the absence of science). I can just imagine someone finding one of those self-help books fifteen hundred years from now and creating a new religion based on the teachings of so and so.
Back to Christmas, it’s still a fun time of year whether you believe in the true meaning or not. People say that you shouldn’t need a special time of year to be nice to people, to give them gifts and so on, but that’s not really true. The concept of commercial christmas isn’t really all that old, it’s really a byproduct of the hustle and bustle of the modern world. People need a time of year that’s designated to being nice to other human beings, it’s almost a form of stress relief. It really just give us a chance to catch up with everyone else and pay attention to someone besides yourself. No longer focusing on your own problems and your own attempts to get ahead in life. I don’t really know where i’m going with all this, it was really just supposed to be a merry christmas message. I think the gist of it is that in the modern world, we need a period of time to relax, be friendly, be merry, be happy, be nice and be courteous to the other human beings. Call it whatever you want, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Duck Soup… it doesn’t really matter, it just won’t happen without a time period, place and name to pencil into our busy schedules.
Here’s an article about trying
Here’s an article about trying to find the funniest joke in the world, while I didn’t find the highest ranked joke all that funny, I found the highest ranked british one to be pretty damn funny:
A man goes to the doctor and says: “Doctor, there’s a piece of lettuce sticking out of my bottom.” The doctor asks him to drop his trousers and examines him. The man asks, “Is it serious, doctor?” and the doctor replies, “I’m sorry to tell you but this is just the tip of the iceberg.”
