It’s the time of the year I hate. You know, the London Drugs book sale. They have $50 and $80 computer books marked at $6.99 or $9.99 or $19.99… awk! I went in there and took a look through, and pulled myself out about $100 worth of books (Learning Perl second edition (I don’t have

Had a weird one last night, don’t remember it all, but some of it. A bunch of people, including me, firefly, and another girl from highschool were at Whonnock Elementry school, or at least going by there. For those not familiar with the area, the school sits at an intersection at the bottom of a

Ah, the promised (and much overhyped) rant on prices is as follows. While at the airport waiting to go to Edmonton last week I was hungry. It was 6:00am and I hadn’t eaten yet, and had just spent an hour on the road. In short: “me need food.” I was through the gate and past

Home now… flight was uneventful, caught the shuttle bus back to extended parking just as it was leaving. Watch this space for a rant tomorrow about price gouging at YVR. Sleep now.

Well, the interview is over. I’ll start from the beginning though… You know how sometimes you’ll sleep for a few hours, but not really well, till some early AM, get up, have a drink of water, g to the bathroom, roll over, whatever, and then go back to sleep and actually do the good deep
