I was listening to some prozzak recently. It made me feel somewhat old, being able to identify references in the song, and think things like 'oh right, this was written back when icq was still around. back in, oh, the late 90s..."

being able to pin something to the nearest 5 years is an odd feeling.

well, I gots to pee. have a nice evening.

I know it's evil

coq

I know it is poisoning the youth of north america. I know it's bad for my health.I know it assasinates workers who try to unionize in the third world. at least I drink a no-name version.

anyhow, burger king groupes love the coq, and also my research paper is going much better now that I'm drinking coke again.

great news! I got my first paycheck in a month and a half! 47 dollars and 6 cents!

jeff... such a jerk. along with the rest of those managers, giving me crappy hours and making me wear skintight work pants...

(edited to remove an image that was large and distracting, and also kinda supported a fast food joint. the link remains.)

this is also nice. it's about a boy named copper, and his dog.

I wonder about a lot of things... I'd like to have a boat somewhere sunny, and someone to enjoy it with.

ho hum...

that's nice

Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.

mmm. lunch was yummy. got class till 8, as usual for wednesdays. I'll have two days work this week, 14 hours total. I guess that's allright. need to build up some savings. got next semester to pay for soon, and I've only got what, 4 courses that I'll be getting money for from this semester.

I hope I can afford more than one second year course next semester. I'm signed up for engineering graphing, because I hear that'll save me a lot of grief, and I wanna do physics. I should probably do english. I need to redo 4 courses, though, so I'll probably do just one. physics is interesting, so I should save that for later, and english is english, so I'll leave that for later.


this is also good. Babyshambles - fuck forever

I had a really nice weekend.

mac was on reading break, so he was up in nanaimo. on saturday morning, we went to victoria and met richard (3rd year geology guy from england) and went drinking. it was merry, although we listened to some really disturbing country music.

I've heard that age-ism is a growing problem in the world. age-ism being a poorly constructed word for hating people for being old (or young). I suspect I'm guilty of that, because I just don't think it's right for anyone as old as janet panic to be singing that explicetly about herself having sex. old people having sex scares me so, so much. she also sang a song about having too many keys on her keychain. it was deep.

I owe mac a bunch of money (I'll guess $80) for the weekend. I was practically broke when it started, so he payed most of my way, including drinking.

12 + 12 (ferry rides)
5 + 5 (meals) (had chinese fast food. the kind they have in asia, though, not the north american kind. most of it was good, although I had one item that was kinda greasy. it was affordable, too. a heaping plate of meat and vegges, 2-3 cups of rice, and free water/tea for $4.5)
3 (soda)
4.5 (busfare)
30??? (drinks)
so that's about $70. not certain how much money I drank, though.


I worked last night. it's so neat, the idea of actually getting a paycheck. it looks like I might be getting more work now. all that procrastinating and not quitting my job to get one with better hours is paying off, it seems. also, I didn't want to quit another job. my job history doesn't look great on a resume.

  1. a month of window washing. no phone number for leggos. joe probably went out of business, but I wouldn't get a good reference there. fun job, but short.
  2. rmh/nco: quit 2 days after the 3 weeks fulltime training ended. it was great.
  3. mcdonalds: quit without 2 weeks notice to work at tim hortons.
  4. tim hortons: july to present. not bad so far.

so yeah, those first three each lasted about (maybe a bit less than) a month. I guess it's not so bad, since they're fast food jobs. still, I want something that looks a bit more long lasting on my resume.

just did that comp sci midterm. it was swell. I did the exam in half an hour, checked it over about 5 times for the next half hour, then left to come here to type away on my blog.

note to self: do your research essay murray. you only have 1 week left.

note to everybody else: how ya doin? you feeling okay? would you like a cookie?

there is a grand conspiracy, and I am on the wrong side of the one way mirror as usual!

so, I wonder what problems I'm causing in andrews life. I'm sure I won't know for another couple years though, if ever. yay isolation!

I made a bunch of mini-pizzas (d=7+/-1 inches) last night while trying to study. they made a great lunch, so I think I'll make a bunch more when I get home. also, buns which I will fill with assorted things. I have a hankerin for a spammich, but since I've got no spam, probably pb&j.

math was good today. I understood everything, and somehow stayed awake. runny nose, though.

I skipped english today. didn't miss it.

chem lab was nice. a short pH measuring lab, the redhead with the sense of style asked me what she missed sleeping in through english. I informed her of the events, and merriment was had by all.

gonna rip that gbs cd when I get home, put it on my mp3 player. hope it's as good as expected. jasmine says it's great, but y'know, that could mean its full of suicide songs or what's'isname is just so hawt OMG LOL!!!1oneone. and I mean that in the best way, really jammin.

cookie?

are you gonna sit there and take it?

I have a chem midterm in 40 minutes. I think I'm ready.

I noticed last night then when I have my headphones on, and a noisy bus or car is nearby, the music gets quieter. not just harder to hear, but quieter. a comfortable listening level when in the bus hurts when I get out and it's quite around me again. is this temporary deafness? am I doing my ears terrible damage by listening to music at a comfortable level on the bus?

I need a job. tim hortons doesn't give me shifts any more, and I assume they're never going to fire me. they'll just keep on not giving me any shifts forever. those jerks. I need the money. should update my resume.

I have a chem midterm in 20 minutes. I will need to tear myself away from reading the chap. it's just as well that most of their material is only available in literary format, and that I lack such a subscription. The material, while illuminating on matters of etiquette, is far too interesting to put down easily when I find myself in a situation requiring it.

Well, I do find myself required to attend to literary matters. A very good day to you.

blog!

I got an mp3 player! it's pretty, and so nice. it's 256 megs, which is alright for me. also, it was payed for by not-me (thanks lori!), so that's awesome.

I'd post pictures of it, but then I'd just be fullfilling some kind of blogger stereotype. then it wouldn't be long before I was posting pictures of my cat every day, and that's a slippery slope my butt would rather not touch.

mmm... mp3s...

mmm... consumption

it feels nice, sometimes, to deride others for enjoying material things. it feels even better to enjoy them yourself, sometimes. for example, I got an mp3 player. It is red, and small, and so I am merry. care of my aunts birthday money. thanks!

I just finished my chem formal lab writeup. fun. now, a bit of light math studying, off to bed, and I can wake up bright and early for an 8:30 math test. on a friday. that is not poor timing, that is just a sense of humour I can appreciate.

goodnight internet. sweet dreams...
