Itinerary

So, for those who like to be in the know, this is how things are going down in operation: Get off the Island.
Dec 13 - Last day of work

Get winter tires
Loads of packing and selling off of worldly possessions
Clean the apartment

Dec 19 - Get on the midnight ferry back to Atlantic Standard Time

So I've got 6 days to pack and sell my junk and clean. Any of you Newfoundland folks need some bookshelves or a table or dressers?

Music recomendation of the day

Check out Brassmunk. They kind of sound like if Outkast dated Snoop Dogg a few years ago and is just getting over it now and wrote songs about it.

...huh

A compelling article on just how close the US is to being a fascist regime. No less compelling considering I found it linked to after a webcomic about chupacabras

Back on the hour

So, we're leaving Newfoundland. Most folk already know this, but Danielle got laid off from her work cause the owner is a jerkface, so there's no reason to stay in this insane town anymore! Glee! Sure, moving sucks and then looking for a job and an apartment sucks, and the timing means no money for christmas gifts but at least I'll be able to watch Heroes at 10 o'clock like God intended!

Watch this

Oh NOVA... I heart you so much! No, not the comic book Nova (even if the helmet is super sweet) I mean PBS NOVA. Cause they have things like
Intelligent Design on Trial

There is nobody alive who shouldn't watch this. Even if you followed the whole Dover thing in the news last year and read the big report Judge Jones wrote up still check it out cause I still liked it

Math makes such pretty pictures

So if I follow this right, this is graph of how all the forces that me know interact on the parts of an atom at the same time? But it seems like they're talking about what it would be like if the quarks weren't combined into protons and what not. Or is that what it was when everything had come together...

Anyways, it looks cool, but I don't know how qualitative it is and it seems pretty far from a grand unified theory. But it's still better than string theory

JSRF OST

So while trying to find a download of the wrestling match of Jushin Lyger and Ultmio Dragon vs the Murder City Machine Guns from the UWA Hardcore vs Toryumon I came across about a million Japanese names and one of them reminded me of Cibo Matto, a band that had a song on the Jet Set Radio Future sound track. I used to play that game just to listen to the music, and would even just turn it on and not play just to listen to it, and had completely forgotten about it. But now I'm getting all the songs and I will be bouncing along way too happy for about a month of straight listening

The Trouble With Tribbles Cthulhu

So as any huge geek should know, H.P. Lovecraft wrote some good Mythology. Crazed Elder Gods from beyond the stars stuck half way between life and death in dreams beneath the Ocean aside, he created the Necronomicon. This fake book has been seen in so many places that a lot of people think that it's actually a real book. And now Neil Gaiman tells you why your copy is probably fake

I ♥ Internet

First right off the top, ASCII hearts = adorable. They should be right on the keyboard. And I found the perfect gift for my mom for x-mas without even trying, just stumbled upon it. Check it out (but don't tell her): Tea Hearts! They're cheap (CDN Dollar Superior, US Dollar Inferior) so I bought some to try and give out to other folks too, so try to forget about this post

A year

So, yesterday was me and Danielle's official anniversary. It's been researched by the finest message history Microsoft provides for free, so you know it's on the up and up. A year and a day ago I told Danielle that she should just stop whatever it was she was doing, and come to Fredericton to get back together with me. Sure it turned out the other way but it still seems like a good idea. We went out to a pizza place we hadn't been to yet and they put honey on our garlic fingers (yet another good idea) and they have a lounge for drinks that's like that one good spot with couches in the Social Club, but it's the whole bar! I didn't think there could be so many good ideas in a single day

YES YES ONE THOUSAND TIMES YES

What Happens In Vegas In The Bedroom Stays in Vegas Becomes A Blog Post

Hikaru Dorodango

You always find the neatest things on Neil Gaiman's blog. Like how when we were making mud pies, Japanese children where making perfectly beautiful spheres from the same stuff. I'm gonna try to make one on my days off

Do it myself

So, I'm sure someone else out there is obsessed with Instructables. I first saw it when one of the webcomics gurus I read, posted a link on how to build a table with LEDs that played and had sequences for Daft Punk songs. It was pretty snazzy, I'll think about looking it up and posting the link later.

But yeah, some of the stuff here is just not safe to show to people like me. Things like RAILGUNS

I love the contrast between the birds and the trees

So yesterday after driving Danielle to work, I decided that I needed a treat. It was definitely treat time, I'd been a good boy and everything. Plus I wanted a bottle of drink pop to have while trying to figure what the heck is going on in Sin And Punishment that I'd just downloaded on my wii. On a side note did you know that Newfies actually say that they want a can of drink? It sends a shiver up my spine...

So on the way home there is a hybrid convenience store / tanning salon called Miles' Groceteria and I pulled in to get myself a bottle of drink pop. So, if you've read any of this blog I'm pretty sure there's post about how much I love Fanta cream soda. It's just the perfect cream soda. So I went to the cooler reached in and grabbed one, looked around a bit more, thought about grabbing a Jones cream soda too, but I already had a Fanta, so I got a blue bubblegum one, wandered around the store a bit more, saw that humpty dumpty chips where on 2 for $2 so I browsed them for a bit to make up my mind. I got the Old dutch BBQ (good) and the Ariba zesty taco (not taco-y enough) and took them up to the counter with my Fanta cream soda and blue bubblegum soda. This was definitely treat time.

So I set them all on the counter and waited while the woman was talking to someone else on the phone. I picked up one of the vaguely european chocolate bars from the impulse section and plopped it down with my 2 bags of chips, my Jones soda, and my anticipated Fanta CS.

Once I paid, all was bagged and I carried it out the car where I ate my vaguely european chocolate bar in speeds usually reserved for goats, buckled up and drove home. Then I walked into the house, turned on the tv, booted up the wii, grabbed my Wavebird gamecube controller and reached into the bag to get my Fanta.
I unscrewed the top and took and took a deep swallow of C Plus...

I honestly didn't think I'd go senile this soon

XKCDave

I like working nights cause I can pretty much say whatever pops into my head

a long game of darts

So, while sweeping the parking lot the other day, I found a whole lot of stuff.
Well, I always find a lot of stuff but it's always just cigarette butts and the plastic off of cigarette packages. On a side note, everyone in the whole damn place here smokes like a chimney. It's gross. Even if I wanted to cheat on Danielle (which I don't hun, you do still read this right?) I can't cause all the girls here are gross smokers and the accent makes them sound retarded. which is unappealing. Um, so yeah, garbage

I found two dart flights, but no darts, so somebody somewhere is having an odd game of darts where they either just throw one over and over again or they are all awesome ninja / circus knife thrower.

Plus I found a single playing card, the two of clubs. It's super amuses me, because I immediate accused the litter bug of murder! It's from one of the Poirot short stories where there was a bridge game and stuff... Mostly it was just an excuse to go around the parking lot muttering about the little grey cells. Poirot is totally my favorite fictional detective. That's INCLUDING Batman! Holmes doesn't even come close. I only like Holmes when he's being played by Data. And that's just cause I like Data, and the thought of nested characters amuses me

video games are so crazy

Retail-tarded

So, you know when you're in a hurry and a bad mood and the things that the cashiers are told to do but just annoy the crap out of you take too long so you say something to try and make them feel like garbage? Like during Christmas time and they say merry christmas and you say I'm Jewish or something like that?

Well that happens all the time to one of the guys I work with but HE DOESN'T GET IT!!!

Okay, so someone comes up to the cash and we have to try and upsell them one product. I try to do it as I'm ringing them in cause almost nobody will take it. Anyways, somebody comes up to the cash and he stutters his way through asking if they want some pop to go with that. And the snarky response is "I'm diabetic". So he should feel like a tool right? No. He says they should get diet pop cause it doesn't have sugar! It goes right over his head, and it's half embarrassing to watch. Especially if they get even more mad and complain that aspartame is even worse for you, cause then he suggests sprite zero cause he hasn't fully read the label.
