Blast From The Past

Because I'm too lazy to come up with real content for my blog...

Here is the link to my old website CLICK HERE(complete with blog) for your reading pleasure.

This December is the 4th birthday of me having a hobby...aka internet blog/webpage. It's kind of embarrassing for me to read through it...but if you've got nothing better to do go take a look.

Edit:
I also had another website....but I shan't link to it here. Some internet stranger hacked into it and put some propaganda on it. They also left me a nice note that they did not delete any of my files, they just messed around with my index. And they said I should update my security settings. Gee, thanks for the advice. NOW WTF ARE YOU DOING HACKING PEOPLE'S STUFF?

Friday night Jason and I decided to go out for dinner to Garage Burger. It's my favourite place to eat downtown, hands down. When we get there, there are two tables of people, mostly middle-aged like parents age. Sort of unusual but whatever no big deal. One of the tables leaves shortly after we sit down. Then a group of three comes in and finds a table. So at this point, there are nine customers in the restaurant including us. Should be good service, right? When the waitress eventually comes to take our order, I order a burger and onion rings and Jason got a sandwich and soup.

We picked up some See/Vue Magazines and read for a while and waited. After about 15 minutes, I heard the waitress say to someone in the kitchen (but not us) "well looks like we are out of soup". So more time goes by. Apparently they also serve some food to the club next door, but still, the kitchen does not sound busy at all, it's really quiet.

After an hour rolls around, we get out food. At that point, the waitress says "oh we're out of soup what else would you like?". We decide we'll get fries then so she goes back to the kitchen and eventually we get fries.

So at this point I'm ravenous and eat the entire thing in about three seconds. Now, it's been more than an hour and a half since we got to the restaurant. All the movies we planned on seeing started a long time ago. We're pretty mad. I'm just disappointed because service is always good there. The food was really good but I'm not too happy about it.

We ask the waitress for our bill and she brings it. The total: $25. We leave her $15 and a handful of nickels and boot it out of there when she's in the kitchen.

I'm not sorry about it. There was no way it should have taken that long. We had no explanation or anything as to what was going on. The food was really good, otherwise I probably would not have paid at all.

So in conclusion I am afraid to go back there for the next little while until they get a new rotation of waiters. Which should happen soon enough.

Camera

I get my camera back tomorrow for realz.

Thanks Dr. Raj for the awesome quote. Stay tuned as I find more "quote of the day" quotes scribbled in old school handbooks.



Unlike these pictures which were taken about a month ago, it is now wintertime officially as we got the first snowfall on Sunday. I know this is lame that I am talking about the weather on my blog. Next I will be talking about crocheting and knitting and scrapbooking. But seriously, the next 5 months are going to be horribly depressing and soul-crushing. Think about it. It's dark at 5 o'clock now.



Anyways if you are still reading this crappy post then thank you. So exciting news today I bought some eggnog from Safeway. Now all I need is some rum and I have a party. That's one thing I miss from home: ample liquor cabinet, regularly stocked by Dad. He would get good deals buying liquor (the good kind) from Duty-Free. I know Doug likes the eggnog with rum and I like the rum with eggnog. Now when I go to the mall they have Christmas decorations and everything. I went to Kingsway on Halloween and they already had the decorations all set up at the Bay.



Right now I am trying to decide on a topic for my municipal systems paper that is due in about three weeks. Municipal systems as in water and wastewater treatment and distribution/collection systems. I was thinking about writing about some case studies of contaminated water like Walkerton or other situations on reserves. I need to pick a topic soon. Hmm.

Let's get some shoes...Lethhs pahhhrty

This probably happens to everyone, but when I try and force myself to be creative and whatever, my blog posts just end up being really hardcore stupid. And lame. I really like having a blog, I just wish I had more material for it. Well here goes.

Today I went to Ikea and got a table for my microwave so it can stop hogging all my counter space. And a shoe rack that smells like cedar or chinese factory hopefully cedar and not cancer or something. Either way I get totally ADHD when I got into those stores and my eyes glaze over and I get all disorented and just walk around (probably drooling too) but nobody ever stops me to ask me if I'm ok so maybe I just imagine the drooling part.

I got this table:
I sort of wanted this one, but it looked too "industrial" and would totally not fit in with my sweet decor (second hand everything). Too bad maybe next time.

My dad is going to Chicago tomorrow to look at a car so he has my camera for now.

Actually every time I go to a store I get the same glazed-over look on my face and my brain stops functioning properly. Especially grocery stores. Every package has a clusterfuck of colours and images so that when I look at all the shelves I nearly have a seizure. So then I forget what I mean to buy and buy other stuff instead and come home disappointed. Does this happen to anyone else? I think I will start a conspiracy theory about stores. They totally do this on purpose, it can't just be me. Right?

SO changing gears here sleep deprivation is the new sleep. I have a can of hyper-caffeinated chocolate from Germany.

Um so like laters gaters.
