Despite AD's best efforts, I feel I should tell this story first. There was an incident at Lake Louise. Let's just say my arm isn't 100%. Pictures may follow.

WE ARE WITH INTERNET AGAIN!!!!!!

The nice cable fairy came by our place yesterday and helped us turn our serene little existance into a connected hub of world spanning intelligence. I'm not so sure this is an improvement anymore... oh well...

Maybe the one of the 4 visitors from America are John Ringo who I have been stealing my aliases from. He is the author of the books I was reading. Maybe he put CONARC or Posleen into google and it spat out your page... Don't sue me Ringo...

well jess, it sounds like just another day at toys r us. that shit happens all the time, even when the managers are in, so here's my advice, just tell every one you're sold out. even if it's right in front of them, your still fucking sold out, if they don't believe you, your sold out, but you'll be getting a new shipment within the next two weeks, you just don't have an exact shipping date, so get the fuck out of the store, 'cause we're sold out!

yeah, those two little words save my ass all the time.

HAHAHAHA, negative 11.

So, I'm two hours into my 9 hour shift, and it is already more insane than christmas, the owners are out of town, and they didn't tell us what we have in stock. the computer here says that we have negative 11 of one particular telescope. it will be a fun 2 weeks till they get back. yeah

Huzzah! First message of the new year! And with it, I pose a question. Who can provide a decent explanation to the following bizarre statistic:



Thailand, I get. I got Pam to come here via the handy parasmehta.tk address. As for Belgium, as near as I can figure, some crazy Belgians are doing internet searches for gay deceptacons, which led them here. Any theories? (And don't get me started on how weird it is that the rest of the traffic is from Canada.)

i love Amelie! perhaps i have found some parallels,
without the sneaking into other people's homes and
rearranging their belongings and messing with their minds...

*sigh*

on less happy notes:

Beck, if you're not already registered
(and anyone else who's not born in Canada) as a landed immigrant
with one of those new official cards,
you may not get back into Canada if you travel abroad.
They're basically paving the way for more cases like Maher Arar's.
This is bullshit.
I can't believe the government is going to such lengths,
most likely to appease the americans.
Makes me think of a Family Guy where Brian discusses
how we don't know how the world is going to end...
flood, volcano, GW Bush...

Speaking of apocalyptic events... the quake in Iran
have y'all seen the news on this?
There was an article in the Edmonton Journal today about it:
A man from Quebec, originally Iranian, lost his whole family.
His mother and father, sisters and brothers,
and 100 of his relatives.
What would that feel like, do you think?
A city of 80 000 suffered 70% decimation by an earthquake.
They're estimating up to 50 000 died. holy shit

on another apocalyptic note: the bizarre wacky weather we've been
experiencing is beyond belief... and beyond nature...
according to some scientists.
Could we possibly be causing all this rain/drought/flood/hurricane stuff?
just some food for thought as you let your car idle...

and... food for thought again...
up until this crazy BSE stuff, we were being fed sick cattle
sick enough that they couldn't walk to the slaughter house.
Okay, not everyone. Paras has successfully avoided consuming
ill beef entirely. But it makes me wonder (not about you, Paras!).
perhaps veggies are just safer...
Minus the hepatitis found in mexican green onions...

Well, that's my scare tactics and sobering news for you today.
I want to go to France!
Sorry for all the diversions!

It seems the Freedom Tower has caught some attention from down south... Either that or they enjoy the pictures from Beck and Keri's Party. And really, who doesn't love that tie?
