Radiohead announced on their site today that their new album, their 7th full-length one, I believe, will be released on October 10th (same day as the Orange box - exciting day!!).
The most interesting parts to note are that it will only be available to buy and download on their site with no physical retail release [...]

My sister’s dog Peanut really loves to be scratched on her lower back.

I started off today with two interviews for different call centres. I nailed both and while one offered me the job on the spot, the other one just wanted to run a background check. Considering that second one is a third-party company that has been taking Rogers wireless calls for less time than I worked [...]

There are a lot of Quail in the area here and they really like hanging out on the property. Not surprising, since Louise puts out all kinds of birdseed in her multiple feeders and not altogether unpleasant as they’re generally funny to watch.
Unfortunately, the pheasants seem to enjoy spending their afternoons hanging out in the [...]

I’m not really a dog person, but I’m gradually falling for my sister’s dog, Peanut. She’s a cross between a golden retriever and a collie and she never barks. Ever. When Geoff lets her out for a pee before bed and then forgets to let her back in, she just waits patiently at the door [...]

Today was my ‘day off’ after all the driving yesterday. I didn’t actually accomplish anything much that I had planned (like play TF2 or watch some episodes of Eureka) but I did test out some changes Dennis made in XBMC, so that was cool.
I actually spotted this the day before JJ’s wedding but had lots [...]

4 hour drive to Burnaby, 1 hour interview, 4 hours back. It was an exciting day.
I think it went well. I presented myself as best I could. They’re really stressing that they’re looking for the exact “right fit” not just a warm body to do the job as listed. They did say that I’m a [...]

This afternoon I went out golfing with Geoff and dad. They tied while I… doubled their score. Interestingly, the owners of the course have their own helicopter:

Meanwhile, Laura went with my sister, mother, niece and aunt to some winery.

No, Laura and I didn’t suddenly get ourselves an apartment and decide to forget hydro. But that part comes later.
This afternoon, Laura and I stopped by Wal-Mart so I could pick up a plain black tie for my interview on Monday. It has recently become apparent that I had a negligible assortment of ties and [...]

Laura and I went out for a walk tonight. It was cool out but not cold like some other nights here lately. Still, it was especially mild for a late-September night. Laura tells me that it was so warm out today in Kitchener (this is via her parents, of course), that it was actually uncomfortably [...]
