My trainer at work has 14 pairs of glasses - have I mentioned that? There’s not much else to say today so I’ll go with that.

I finished Hominids today. Such a damn cool book. I wasn’t expecting to want to read the 2nd or 3rd books in the series right away but the way it [...]

Laura and I cooked dinner tonight for her family. They ate it but weren’t overly thrilled with it. Oh well, I loved it - it was delicious.
I finished Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys today and it was really good. A laugh-out-loud funny fantasy story. As you may have gathered from yesterday’s post, I’m a big fan [...]

I finished Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code today and it was pretty cool. The first reaction is to compare it to Angels and Demons. Is one better than the other? Not really. They’re both good for what they are and they’re both entertaining. They’re both fast-paced and full of puzzles but while ‘Demons focused more [...]

My recollection of the tower of Babel is that the united humans gathered together and thought they’d build a tower up into the sky, to God. He didn’t like them doing this, so He changed their common language into many different ones and the people abandoned their project.
I’m currently reading Chuck Palahniuk’s Haunted and one [...]

Joe, Dennis, Ryan and I headed to Benny’s for dinner before Joe went home. Both he and I got a back bacon burger which was giant and delicious. He and Ryan were having a multiplayer game of New Super Mario Bros that began before we left and continued up into the middle of us placing [...]

I finished reading Poppy Z. Brite’s Exquisite Corpse today.
It’s the last book on the reading list for Laura’s gothic horror course. Her prof said it was really difficult to find a book that would actually disturb people today. We’re so desensitized by today’s media that most gore and violence is just ordinary. So this book [...]

I went to Canada Computers after work to get a VGA extension cable for my secondary monitor. I didn’t know where they kept their cables so I asked the first employee I saw if they had any. I’d been there before and had asked so I knew they carried them but the employee today [...]

I haven’t seen the sun in days. It’s too early for sunrise when I walk to work and by the time I leave, the sun has gone down for the night. I’m up for hours on end each day, but the only time I see outdoors, it’s night. It really just feels like I’m living [...]

Shawn ran my druid alt through Wailing Caverns to get more of my cool Embrace of the Viper armor set. I got the Armor of the Fang chest piece and already had the Gloves of the Fang. Now I’m up level 20.
After dinner and TV, Shawn and I had a long talk about stuff and [...]

Matt Good played in Kitchener tonight. I didn’t go since I had no one to go with. Le sigh. This is his last such tour, too, apparently.
I finished Choke today at work. It was just so damn good.
Clarence, the 63 year-old man with a grey-white mullet and a Blackberry honestly believes that Canada has a [...]
