I'm back on the internet! At about four million times my old speed. Let the downloading begin... Er, um... I mean, if I had anything I wanted to download. Well, doesn't that just figure.

Funny. And true. I am going to pee my pants...
Goddamn X10's Amazing XCam2 Wireless Camera! Goddamn it! I won't link to it, because I'm sure you've been to the site. Goddamn.
And here, just for the hell of it (and because my sister thought it would be a good idea) is a picture of Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendys, on a stick:

Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendys (on a stick) says: You can eat great, even late!
Here you go, picture of me and.... well.... it hasn't got a name. But, here:

I impress even myself with this thing.

...

Jay the Juiceman is the coolest. Ben, you'd better recognize the Power of Juicing.

I just had to link those. Again. I might also link to his picture on Am I Annoying or Not? because it's got things straight:
"He is the scariest person in this solar system.
He may be an extra terrestrial."
My sister says I'm odd because I just finished adding two 1/4 lb. bags of rubberbands to my rubberband ball (which now has a five inch diameter, I guess I'll take a pic later). And yet she is the one walking around the house with a cutout cartoon of Dave Thomas on a stick saying "Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy's says not to be so rude." I'm concerned about that girl's sanity.

...

I am now unemployed, thank God/Eris/Bob. I've never read much about Tim Horton, but I think he's the Devil/Greyface/a pinkboy.
Now... two days left to pack up everything I own. Um.

Some answers:

Honey dijon chicken sandwich, with same large-coke-no-ice, two double-chocolate cookies.
The seat NEXT to the seat where he usually sits. NOT the other corner like I'd expect.

*yawn*

My new favourite band: Skellator. Er. Or not!

Anyway, here's a story. A couple of days ago, a guy came into Timmy's. And he had a dime stuck in his chest hair. Just sitting all snug in there like a baby bird in a nest. And that is the most interesting thing that's happened to me in a while.

And that, my friends, is sad.

There is a guy who comes in every day and orders the chili in a breadbowl deal. He substitutes the medium coffee for a large coke (with no ice) and the donut for two cookies. Costs him about $6.52, I believe.

And what I want to know is this.
He always sits in the same spot. The quietest corner of the smoking room (it's nice in there, it's air-conditioned) and reads. Sometimes for several hours.
If somebody was already sitting there, what would he do?
And what if we ran out of chili?
And what is he reading that makes him want to stick around Tim Hortons so long?
Cause I sure as hell wouldn't.
Or is it just the fact that I'm working that makes it seem like forever.

The small double-double ($1.05) and three plain old-fashioned Timbits for his dog (free) guy is moving to Vancouver. He won't be back in the store anymore after next week. And neither will I. And that... is... excellent!

"Ever since the extremely truthful experiments Freud performed on his patients during the studies of psychoanalysis we have learned much on the topic of the human mind. In recent years the study of colours and their effects on the human brain have been quite extensive, branching from mood and emotional simulants, to even mind control.

"As many of you would believe, the US Army, along with other American organizations, attempted to use this new knowledge in order to prove a stronger fit in the cold war. But in the last three years most of the documentation covering the experiments performed on random civilian subjects [although not admitted openly] has been de-classified.

"I have had the chance to look through these and have gathered enough knowledge on the subject to make correct assumptions. For example, did you know that the bright lime colour with the red value between the range of 150.3 and 153.7 without any blue, and a full 255 of green will cause any viewer to become open to ideas and opinions?

"That's right, as the studies showed, subjects made to read textual information in the format of an opinion were 85% more likely to agree and believe in that opinion than with any other colour. For more info see this link".


Of course, I have instinctively known these facts all along. You thought I only wanted to hurt your brain, when in actuality I've been in control of its every thought. Not even bringing this to your direct attention can dilute the effect...

Now if only I could come up with some useful or at least entertaining applications of this theory...

The annoying thing about finding in your logs that people have been referred to your site through an e-mail is that you can't tell what that e-mail said, nor who sent it, nor to whom. So identify yourselves. At once! This involves up to six people (it's happened three times), and I want your names, chop chop!

(Note to self:
Stop obsessing over logs.

I am going to chew the Cappuccino Trident. If I never post again, you will know why.
Whoever keeps letting the mosquitoes into this house

is going

to

die.

I will swat them to death.
Ah, the miracle of Coca-Cola. Whatever. I think my mother has gone mad. She's soaking our plates in it. She's pouring it down the drains. She's running it through the dishwasher... It's MAGIC. Or something.

I must say, though.. These are all better ideas than drinking that horrible stuff. Tastes awful. Burns your throat. Soda is such a silly thing. Carbonation... what kind of idea is that. It hurts me.

Also related... and frightening: Refreshing Your Business (a Coke site that was taken down when the general public started visiting. Too bad it's been copied elsewhere, huh? lol), Coke Cult (just sick).

Heyyyy... the layers on this page are all overlappy on the browser on this computer... that won't do at all!

I'd fix it, but... I'd rather just say: nobody on planet Earth is allowed to use IE 4 any longer. Nor Netscape, because I can't be bothered to dowload it to check out what hideous things it does to mutilate this page.
Went to my grandparents' tonight. Youse all. With my whole family. Wow, it sure was a blast. Definitely worth the drive to Acton. I'm serious. That isn't sarcasm at all. I mean, we all sat around and watched The Weakest Link and drank diet soda. Nothing beats that. Youse all.
Yes, you can, but may you?

I thought I'd push that horrible picture off of the page...

So.

Well, I did.

Do YOU see a picture down there?

Note to self: do not link to images on own computer.
Okay. Should be working now.
If not...
Guess who doesn't care?!

Computer asks me... "Would you like to correct these errors?"

Uh... NO! What do you think??? I like my computer buggy...

Wait...

That could explain everything!
So, I went a little nuts. I decided that the tables on this page needed tidying up, and so... I got rid of all of them (that's all of them) and formatted the page with CSS instead. A couple of little glitches (i.e. I need to edit all of my date images), but I think I got it working. And now... no more brain usage for me for a while.
