Lunch thievery! Someone swiped the lunch of my supervisor, Joe, and he was livid. He walked into the lunch room and threatened to beat up and break the hands of those responsible. It was ridiculous how upset he got. Sure, I’d hate it if it happened to me but I can’t imagine I’d do much [...]

Laura, her mother, sister and her friends are heading to a cottage for the week so I helped them pack up for that this morning.

Then, in the evening, I helped Ryan and Melissa with their wedding invitations.
Shawn finally returned with his car. His brand new Jetta…. which he’s had for two days and has already [...]

Laura and I watched more Six Feet Under earlier tonight while I did filing. For the past six years I’ve just been throwing all my utility bills, student loans, papers from University, housing documents and everything else into boxes and piles, so I finally got to organize it all. It sounds boring but a) Six [...]

They gave us our “bonus” cheques yesterday. Last time, mine was just cash thrown into an envelope; pocket change not even enough for a meal.
This time, I got -$1.12. Nice. That’s based on 1.33% of my pay for the past 3 months, -$2 for every hour I’ve missed. What have I missed? 18 hours (2 [...]

I walked into my room after work today to find a toad on my windowsill.

I came down here to check on the status of my window and I did have a new one. Unfortunately, it was unfinished. They had taken out the old window and just screwed in the new frame without actually filling in [...]

What happens when you buy a shower present for Melissa (and Ryan)? They end up here, in our spare room. All of them.

Still no new window for me. Apparently they ran out of basement windows so I’m told I’ll get mine tomorrow. Yeah, we’ll see.

Man is it cramped.
I don’t hang out much in the living [...]

Today was to be the day we got new windows. Late last night, Shawn and I rearranged our rooms so the worker people could have access to the basement windows to do their thing. I had to move my dresser out of the room and my desk all the way over so they had this [...]

After spending a week at my parents’ place, with their clean walls and washroom and their new everything, coming home to my place really reminded me of how dirty and crappy it is. I didn’t think to take pictures of my parents’ place while I was there, so I figured I’d do the next best [...]

As embarrassing as it may be, we returned to HMV today so I could buy more stuff. We then proceeded to hit up Sunrise and Sam’s and I bought stuff at all three.

So what all did I get?

The Eraser (Thom Yorke’s new album)
Set Yourself on Fire (the Stars album)
7 Television Commercials (DVD of Radiohead music [...]

Laura and I were in the big HMV in downtown Toronto this afternoon and while browsing through the B’s in DVDs, she spotted ‘Lord of the Rings’ and wondered how it got put there. Then she realized it wasn’t LotR, it was a cheap movie trying to rip off the cover art of LotR:

I dunno, [...]
