I spent most of Halloween in schools, continuing the inventory. It’s weird seeing kids in Jason masks because they are a) too young to have watched such movies and b) too many years removed from those movies to even know them. Well, I guess there was that ‘Freddie vs. Jason’ recently. Still, they’re too young [...]

Today began my two-week excursion on the road, doing the inventory of the local public board’s schools.
I overheard a 50+ year-old school secretary repeatedly say “alrightey then” on the phone to parents and suppliers. Is she a big fan of ‘Ace Ventura,’ or has that really just become a regular saying now?
My favourite part of [...]

Laura and I got high, talked about the awesome new version of Tickle Me Elmo and headed to the dollar store.

Delicious and only $1!

Laura and I finished the last season of Roswell this afternoon. She didn’t like the end but I didn’t expect her to. It was too much of a hippie / feel good ending for her. I agree that it wasn’t great, but really, how else do you end a [...]

We saw ‘Saw 3′ with Mike and Jill tonight. The rain made us postpone our plans to go to some haunted house thing. The movie was a good continuation of the series. Very gruesome, clever “games” etc. It was also interesting to see the back story of the characters.

I still remember telling Shawn that he [...]

Working on my website sure cuts into sleep. When I get on a roll in posting a bunch of entries, it’s just hard to stop. Even when I cut myself off, saying ‘this is the last entry for the night’ I find other small things to keep doing for a while longer. Last night after [...]

I watched ‘The Brother’s Grimm’ last night. A silly little movie with an interesting main idea and some of the worst CGI I’ve seen in a while. Still, it was entertaining and cute.

Damn Google. The top two results for Jerome Elliott are actually me.
There was a time I would have loved that to be the case but now it’s a toss up between wanting to be able to write freely and not wanting to be fired for having written freely.
Would anyone in my office ever find me? [...]

I’m taking home my extra shoes tonight. One of my coworkers advised me not to leave anything here overnight in case one morning the place is just locked up and closed for good =p
Of my two supervisors, one comes in around 8:30 and leaves at noon every day. The other is here at like 7:30 [...]

I’ve now tried twice to switch banks to PC Financial. Yesterday when I showed up, the guy was on his way to lunch… at 3:30. Today, Laura and I waited for 40 minutes before we had to take off to make dinner with her parents. I checked online and it’ll either take me forever to [...]
