This morning, Laura and I delighted in an unhealthy breakfast of Dill-icious Doritos, mini powdered donuts and oven-baked cookies. It was so full of sugar, I wanted to gnaw on a tree afterwards.

Laura and I hit up Sobey’s twice today. The first was a quick raid for the above-mentioned unhealthy breakfast supplies while the second [...]

Laura came over from Toronto and we spent the night relaxing by watching Battlestar Galactica with McDonald’s, leftover dessert from Laura’s mom and energy drinks to nourish us.

Galactica, Apollo - you are not going to believe what I’m looking at out here. It’s like a dream.

Really weird weather today. We had a thunder storm. I’ve never seen an electrical storm in winter before, and it’s not really surprising. [Guess that also explains why I've only ever seen two electrical storms in BC]

I’ve been having odd cravings all week. Totally random stuff, too. It’s weird. Among them have been:

Steak
Playing F.E.A.R.
Timbits
Lemons
Hoegaarden
Laura
Boston Cream [...]

I almost can’t believe it, but I managed to get two of the Spanish Guys at work to argue about the Chupacabra today. You know, the Mexican thing - eats all the lizards? Anyway, I thought it was a monster or animal and so did Roberto, but Marvin was convinced it was a person. So [...]

Valentine’s Day today and Laura’s so far away. I guess it’s not the first time but somehow it feels different, worse, this time. Distance sucks.
Dennis and Alison came by and dropped off some leftover sushi tonight. Well, that’s what they said they were doing, so I was just expecting a few pieces or something. Turns [...]

Heather Graham has a new show, Emily’s Reasons Why Not. Ryan put the pilot on my hard drive and it’s really terrible.

Sure, she’s cute and all but she’s a really bad actress. It works well on Scrubs because of the character she’s playing but every other character I’ve seen her play has been… poor. I [...]

I picked up ‘Wedding Crashers’ yesterday, previously viewed, and watched it this afternoon with Laura and her parents. I think I’ll try and exchange it if I can since there were a few hangs in the video.
In talking about weddings and such, it seems Laura is afraid of Catholic things.

Apparently, she doesn’t quite realize that [...]

I picked up my new glasses this afternoon. Très cool.
Season 2.0 of Battlestar Galactica came out in the US this week. It’s delayed about three months in Canada while Space airs those first ten episodes of season two. Anyway, Laura stopped off in the big HMV in downtown Toronto and picked it up for me [...]

Laura and I watched the Arrested Development series finale tonight - four episodes back to back. It was really good and they were some of the most crazy episodes ever in the series with nice ties back to the first episode. But it’s still sad that the show’s over.

Then again, it’s almost good in a [...]

Frustrating at work, throwing together a new desk design which was untested until suddenly we have an order for 180 of them. Turns out we don’t have the proper sized screw. We were supposed to make them yesterday but only got the screws today. Once we had assembled ~150 of them, it was discovered that [...]
