So… Wednesday. Wednesday is sorta interesting at work. Click here for the latest scuttlebutt. Saw some people go at my location go who were a bit of a surprise, and a few that certainly weren’t. Bittersweet, in some ways. It’s a transition year (the XBox360′s early release and the flexible release date of the Playstation3 lead the general public into a “wait and see” mode, which hurts publishers like EA), so it’s understandable. We saw graphs that show what happened when the XBox and PS2 came out, so it’s not like we should be completely shocked. Anyhoo, enough about that. Thursday. Afrika Bambaataa at Atlantis

Via BoingBoing, there’s this monstrosity Listed as “Ready to Wear” I don’t think ANYONE’s ready to just put this on and walk out their front door (or maybe off their roof). No wait, I take that back. Maybe Toren might be able to put something like this on and go somewhere ten minutes later.

This was in response to a friend’s question about whether or not they were depressed (or just having a hard time, what?). Names have been changed to protect the innocent. I’m hearing ya. I was going to suggest (again) that you apply here at Mole Hill (They have “market” and “assisted” pricing for a suite in one of these heritage homes, and having a friend who’s already “in” really helps. Oh, and did I mention that a single parent with a child gets a two-bedroom, according to the rules?) but then you mentioned in that you can’t move away from E’s preschool and N’s parents. I think it’s totally valid that you’re depressed, and feeling like it’s really freakin’ hard to clean the house (or get outta bed in the morning). Know what? It is. The fact that you *do* do these things so often, and yet still have time to be interested and engaged in life (and love) in any capacity speaks volumes toward your ability to overcome what life keeps throwing at you. (know what else? life keeps taking a pee in your turtle pool, too) I don’t think I’m talking out my butt when I say that Continue Reading

…okay, so the upgrade to WordPress 2.0.1 is completed. Not without some seriously freaky stuff happening first. Not all of the plugins work, but hey, made it through this time, without having to re-re-re-import everything. If you wanna see what I ran into, you can see the thread on the issue I had here [Edit: I must be getting better at this, 'cause I just upgraded Arwen's too, and that wasn't NEARLY as painful].

We took a CanCar and went out to Whiterock to visit Grampa Brian and Gramma Donna We all had a pretty good time, I think, and it was good to see Jason and Vicky (and their partners, Shannon & Ted). We went down to the beach area and wandered out to the end of the pier (my dad, Ripley, and Donna)… Ripley went digging for buried treasure… …and Tate took over duties as “The Ovulator.” …and now, after watching some Olympics on CBC and some sorta stress-inducing chocolate challange thing on the Food Network, I’m going to make some coffee… Peace out, folks.

Someone here at work is looking for a directable female voice actor, who can “speak Mexican.” The right voice is more important that experience. Anyone? It’s gotta be soon like, probably tomorrow. Let me know via comment at my blog (or email/IM me, if you have that information handy).

Bit of a mutiny at Blenz Robson (I’m assuming it’s the one at Bute & Robson, but I don’t know for sure).

Let’s start at the beginning of this week: Monday night. Mad Professor with Aisha at Richard’s on Richards, 8pm. I thought I was going to an “early/short” show (Doors at 8? Who goes to a club on a Monday at 8pm?) and turned out that I was going to a “full meal deal” with that started at 10:30 on the dot. Wandered around outside for a bit, watched two young guys smoke pot (doesn’t matter how far away you get from other people, if you’re tokin’ people a block away know about it), and talked to the second person in the “will call” line (an Asian lady with one of those little wool toques that makes me think about how itchy/sweaty wool would be on my scalp) who had an Australian accent and… …wrap your head around that for a minute…
