Last Friday after dinner I made my way uptown to my parent’s place. My younger brother needed a ride home after his nightshift at work and with my parents out of the province that job defaulted to me. So I took the subway up to the end of the line (20 minutes) then took a bus from to the end of the line (40 minutes) and waited in the cold freezing rain for another bus to take me home.

It was at this point in the evening that I decided to check if I had the keys to my parents place with me…which I didn’t. They were back at my apartment sitting in front of my computer so I wouldn’t forget to bring them with me. I obviously need a better way to remind myself of such things.

Desperate and soaking wet from the rain, I turn on my cell phone (which was already giving me low battery warnings) and call JJ to ask for a huge favour. Since he’s such an awesome guy he dropped everything he was doing to drive all the way across town to pick me up, drive me downtown so I could pick up my keys, then drive me back uptown just in time to drop my bags of inside the house and drive off in my car to pick up my brother.

(I dare you to say pick one more time.) Whew!

Needless to say I owe him a huge favour. Thanks dude! Now if I could just find the charger to my cell phone…

Frack!

Ever since we moved I can’t seem to find my Oblivion CD. This means I can’t play the dang game even though the entire game is installed on my PC. You have to love software copy wright protection schemes.

Now I really need to finish unpacking, stat!

I’ve been thinking about my current living arrangement. If for some reason my roommate were to move out tomorrow, I would barely have anything to call my own in the apartment. I have my bedroom set of course, a desk, a TV and such but that’s roughly it. We’d probably split up some of the plates and utensils we bought together but I wouldn’t have anything else kitchen related. I wouldn’t even have anything to sit on (unless he’s going to dump that huge monster couch on me, ha!)

While I know he’s not going to be moving anytime soon, it is still a bit scary to realize how little I have to support myself. I should start buying more things for the home, it’s just a matter of finding the money for it. Anyone have any suggestions as to basics? Things I should start acquiring to cover my bases? I’m thinking a good proper kitchen knife would be a good place to start. Very useful and adding one more to our knife drawer won’t get in the way.

Of course I should probably completely unpack from my move first before I start bringing in new stuff … well more new stuff. I already bought a desk and a bookshelf.

I don’t think you quite understand how giddy this screen shot from the upcoming Guitar Hero II makes me.

Leaked by a couple of Wal-Mart employees “demo”-ing the game weeks in advance of selling it. Yes, that is the Trogdor theme song as a bonus track you can unlock in the game. Trogdor folks! Trogdor the BURNiNATOR!

And thus I have used up my <blink> HTML tag quota for the year.

Follow this link to listen to an awesome mashup between Kirby’s theme song and Snoop Dogg’s “Drop it Like it’s Hot”

The hypnotic animated gif is an added bonus.

A couple weeks ago L told me to set aside the evening of the 23rd. When I asked why, she gave me a smile and told me it was a secret. I tried to press her for more information but she wouldn’t budge. Ah well, I guess I would just have to wait.

Yesterday evening we met up for these super secret plans. On the subway ride up I was pretty calm about the whole thing, which drove L crazy. She seemed stunned that I could be so laid back going into some unknown plans. Well it wasn’t like she was going to lead me to a back alley into a street fight. I was still quite surprised to find out we were heading to the Loblaws at Empress Market to attend a cooking class! Better yet a Sushi cooking class!

Never do a web search for “short bullwhips” while at work. The search results you’ll get can lead you to very NSFW sites.

Oops!

The perfect combination of my recent obsession with Star Wars and wNoodle’s recent obsession with Weird Al.

And we we’re singing…

Have you seen the trailer for 300 yet?

Take a look at it over at the Apple website. No surprise this is a Frank Miller joint.
