I am exhausted and can barely keep my eyes open right now. So much for accounting that I was trying to do, or going to try to do. Driving to Waterloo adds a surprisingly extra amount of fuel needed for my car, sooo much more spensive to fill it.
I am so tired.
The ice storm came and went, there wasn’t that much ice. The foot of snow that built up on my car though protected it from the ice that was falling onto it. That was actually fun to take off the car, just kind of swooshed it off with my arms.
Tonight I am heading out to a dessert party. Initially I was going to bring Cheese cake but due to timings and dinners and friends and my own tiredness I didn’t have sufficient time to make the stuff. Most of the ingredients were already about to, oh well.
I have to figure out how to get working out into my normal everyday routine. Hell I am stuill trying to get studying into my everyday routine. On Thursday I stayed home from work from the fear of the ice coming down, all day I barely touched any questions. I also wanted to go up and down the stairs for a bit but I never bothered to leave the apt.
To sum it up in the last two weeks my most noteworthy accomplishment was beating the mine carts/rails level in Donkey Kong Country on the Wii.
No I didn’t buy any, click on the above pictures to enlarge/enrage them. The location of the factory on the basket is amusing though. They should name street names around here like that, I think everyone would be a little bit happier and have a bit more spring in their step if they did. Oh yes take a turn on Rainbow road but go down as far as Superlucky Street, if you see Unicorn Way you have gone too far. I changed the header on the top, it is kind of ugly and doesn’t fit with the rest of the site very well but it is OK for now, I just wish I could find where to change the link colours at the top, I think I did but I thought there was an easier place to change it.
I am bored again today, I watched Inuyasha while riding an exercise bike and than went outside to take some pictures. Even if you convince yourself that you’ll only be out there for a short while you should still wear gloves. When we were done setting up and before even taking any of the pictures my hands were freezing. When I came it they hurt even more than when I was outside. Brrr, so I went out after playing with a candle with gloves on this time.
When at liquidation world I guess someone left there car in the lot and it got snowed in and they had to drive it out. It looks pretty covered on all sides too.
The Amazing Spider-Man is feeling a bit under the weather. Can you “operate” and make him better? His Spider “Cents” is all a mess. and a Costume Wedgie is causing him stress. A Broken Web Shooter has got him in a tizzy and those Mary Jane Jitters are making him dizzy! Grab the tweezers and try with all of your might to steer clear of the sides and avoid lighting the light!
The above is what Hasbro’s site has to say about Spiderman. I thought I blogged about it before but I guess I haven’t there are a few more things that you have to pull out of him that are pretty weird, bah.
I got my neice kicked out of here in record time today. She wasn’t listening to me and being rude so when she wanted to play PS2 I told her no and she cried and cried and cried and eventually had to go. I guess she had a photoshoot for something because she had a whorish anmount of make up on and they were quite concerned that it would have gotten ruined.
Heh my mom wants to take some of the ducks to portugal now to mark off the top of the driveway. Oh and for thos reading this on LJ or facebook hit up www.deanomac.com to see the pictures I included in this post if they didn’t publish and to see the duck I am talking about.
Katty went home yesterday on the train, it ended up running 25 minutes late and a massive swarm of people went on it from Kitchener. Today I am so bored, I don’t feel like doing anything (especially my homework) going anywhere, playing anything, watching tv or anyhting. Sigh. And the cat is too cold to play. Well he will play I just don’t feel like moving. I really should get at least some of the problems done and play a little DDR at least.
I kind of thought I’d go out for a bit today but I just don’t feel like it. Usually for lunch I wouldn’t have brought one so I would have to out and fight the cold to go to a nearby food place, and it is damn windy. Oddly enough my last trip out I ended up not bothering to put on my gloves or zip up my coat and I didn’t feel the least bit cold, other than my exposed hand holding on to my pop. There is so much to do right now, I just don’t want to do anything. Well maybe get my tv but it feels like that would involve effort and I get an E for effort.
Bah the internet is too boring today, I’ll start some problems I guess..
Today started off kind of bad, went to the car and the check oil light was on, the temperature outside was around -15C, -30 with windchill so I just drove to my parents house to let them figure it out since it was still 6am and since the light in my hood doesn’t work I wouldn’t be able to see a fucking thing in there anyways. The window begins to fog up and my heat isn’t working because it is too cold so to get rid of the fog I open the window, this method works wonderfully, a little chilly but I seem to have hardened up quite a bit.
On my drive to Cambridge the Check Engine light comes on too now, oh joy. A few years ago I blew the engine in my dad’s car. I had the radio on pretty loud since at the time my car didn’t have a working radio and the oil pump stopped working at somepoint while on the highway so I was forcing it to work going 120 until I got off. The engine shut itself off as soon as it went to idle speeds. It didn’t shut itself off as a safety feature, it shut itself off because it was seized. If you are wondering why I was driving his car, it is because a few days before that I blew the transmission on my car at the time.
Anyways when I saw that check engine light come on I assumed that due to the cold that another part of my car decided to stop working, in this case the oil pump. It turns out that my car apparently burns oil at a very slow rate and it was empty. I had an oil change a few weeks previous. I had a similiar experience a few months ago but it didn’t seem to have come back so I just chalked it up to a fluke and an improper oil change. So now I drive a hybrid car, a gas/oil powered car. How sexy. After all this when I got dropped off at home I went to drive it to Waterloo the check coolant light comes on and fight as I might I couldn’t get the damn cap off so I took it as a sign drove to my parents house and just gave up on going to Waterloo today. Fucking car. Could have been worse all things considered, especially since the car still runs despite running 30 kms this time with low/no oil and 100 km previously in the same manner.
It really sucks when it is freezing and dark out. I even have a flashlight now so I can check the damn oil every morning before I head out. Also I couldn’t find any clean t shirts and wore Katty’s and I broke the button off of my pants pretty damn early in the day, that really made me feel like a fat slob.
Work was interesting at least today, a little fast paced in the morning since I had to get a fair bit of information quickly since I didn’t know about it Friday morning when it was originally discussed.
Kitty missed me, he was so excited when he saw me, he was looking through the blinds meowing and than purred when I picked him up. I haven’t slept here for a bit so he has missed me. I am sure my parents will be happy that he will stop trying to get into their room in the morning.
I have been shopping around for a GPS lately, I have really just started. Damn those things can get pricey, there are some that are relatively cheap that basically just have the coordinates that you are at and an arrow pointing you towards the destination that you chose. I had more in mind the type that would actually show a map with trails or the river if available and contour lines to figure out where I was going and to show a route better. Still they do cost more, I better get my ass out there more.
I got my first assignment back yesterday, my group got 18/18 yay. From looking quickly at the solutions posted I can see why, we put in steps and schedules and everything. The toughness is starting to pick up with trying to value mixed instruments like bonds that come with stocks or detachable warrants and such. I really should be doing my homework, unfortunately my books today are at Katty’s since I expected to get my self back to Waterloo. It took a bit longer than normal for me to get to Waterloo yesterday so I didn’t get to see Kathy before class, I did get to see her after her class during a break in my class. I think I only have 9 more classes to go, it feels so short. If I was taking taxation the midterm would have been for next week. Kathy has been taking my iBook to class lately since her macbook has been making a whining sound, so far the tech hasn’t been able to replicate the sound but will be exchanging the screen anyways since he noticed the middle of the screens back light isn’t as bright as it should be. We both have noticed this before but I thought it was just the lighting in her room and my eyes but he had the option of putting it side by side. Kathy did get to talk with the person actually doing the repair and gave him more information to help replicate the sound. Even though this laptop went back within it’s first year I think Kathy is much happier with the warranty service she has experienced so far. She didn’t have to do 2 hours of random installing uninstalling software and hardware for two hours like the Dell techs made her do and got to speak with a person almost from the get go on the phone. I’m not sure how long her call lasted but mine for a different issue was 5-10 minutes. Also she gets to drop it off locally where she can actually have contact with the people doing the repair and take responsibility for it, not just some faceless slob.
Still it did need to get a repair. Oh well at least it wasn’t dead, she was living with it for a month before she finally took it in.
Katty went skating yesterday for the first time in years while I did homework watching her make her way around the boards. Apparently we should go sharpen the skates next time.
Kitty misses me because he is a good loyal kitty. My parents went to someone’s house who has a cat, when they came back he sniffed their coats and started doing this loud and long meow to flush out this other cat that he thought came with them. He didn’t stop meowing, eventually my parents put him in the basement to quiet him down. When they let him out he went to smell the coats again and began meowing for the cat. I’m sure my dad was very pleased.
I am behind in my homework now I have to play catchup, I am sure that there’ll be a quiz on Monday.
It could have been mine for the low, low price of $25. I did get a gallon of Febreeze today, it cost $23. I need to get Access to do what I need it to do for work, I have to condense 6 tabs of info into something meaningful, hope I can, otherwise I’d have to use MySQL or something.
Katty is still feeling icky, it has been a few weeks now, sigh.
My drive home last Friday was bad,, this week it was even slower. Going the last 3 KM on the highway took 15 minutes, and the worst part is that I was considering getting of on the previous exit and use the city streets to get in the same position, I figured the HWY was moving well enough, it would be the same amount of time either way. Again there were accidents everywhere and they had me cut off to Waterloo, the one on Bridge St made the drive through Bridgeport 40 minutes in itself. All said I think it took 2-2.5 hours to get here from work, good thing I was able to leave an hour later.
The weather sill looks icky and I need to do homework, I have to finish off my assignment and prepare answers from the text since my group will be called up to provide the answers for them in front of the class.
Busy busy weekend. Friday night I got to go to the Fringe festival at
Laurier. I also got to go on Saturday night. I liked just about all
the of the plays. There was just one play that I did not like as much
as the others, I was looking more for the comedy and it was just trying
to be smart and emo. There was an opera which was based off of the
Robert Munch book, Mortimer, Be Quiet. I voted for it as best play for
that day. Although most of the plays were funny some just went off in
weird tangents and it was like when they were writing they decided hey
lets just do this out of the blue, such as the random dance numbers.
Katty really enjoyed the 15 Minute Hamlet.
I guess diseases are flying around, Katty wasn’t feeling very well. She
takes a lot of vitamin C pills as well as ginseng and Cold FX when it
feels like she is getting close to sick, that helps keep her from
getting the worst symptoms but she does feel though just general
ickyness and weird body temperature changes.
This weekend I didn’t do too much, I went to Giant Tiger to get some 88
cent milk that was on sales, the one in Kitchener is the nicest one I
have been to. I think I have begun to curb my spending, My Visa and
Zellers card were over 1000 grand this month and Katty’s reached 800$.
I believe I will be getting a $500 return from school since I dropped
one of my classes, they just usually hold onto it until the end of the
term to consolidate it with anything else that they may have.
Right now I am actually writing this at work eating an apple really,
really wanting to walk to the Burger King down the street for a Whopper,
it is Wednesday after all. If it wasn’t Wednesday I would be really
wanting to go to Pizza Hut despite my Subway coupons.
Yesterday night I went through doing my assignment for Accounting, I
think I have most of it under control however there are a couple of
issues that I am uncertain about that don’t seem to be covered
adequately in the text. I’m not sure if the first part of the text
perhaps would cover it better but it is just a couple of holes that may
have been left open for simplicity’s sake. I still can’t seem to
remember exactly everything I needed to know for this assignment, I had
to go back into my text to review the appropriate sections. Tonight I
guess I’ll check the solutions and double check them with my answers as
well as do the answers for next, next weeks chapter.
I think Kitty is relieved to not have the kids around anymore, whenever
I came home he sought refuge in my room. The first day they were over
he just stayed in the basement and didn’t come out until he realized I
was home.
Kitty didn’t something cute the other day. We play this game where I pull on the sheets a bit from the end of the bed and he assumes that there is something under the sheet by his feet since he is being pulled a bit and must kill it immediately. He usually paws it a lot than goes in with his teeth. The other day he jumps up on the bed, walks a bit and than notices that the sheet beneathe his feet are wrinkling and moving a bit and with that he spontaneously jumps into action biting at the sheet until it is ‘dead’. Take that.
My first assignment for Business class is just about done, just need some clean up. Good thing I did most of it before hand, the MSN meeting thing did not work out the greatest.
I have for the last 7 minutes been reading an article online all the while tapping my nails in a very obnoxious way onmy laptop. Katty would stop and stare at me until I stop if I were in the same room as her. I am pretty jiminiy if I can use that as a word. I should be reading a chapter but instead tap tap tap. It seems strangely theraputic in a way, I keep wanting to do it even now, tap tap tap. The sound felt good, my joints in my fingers were alive. I was trying to get the perfect beat, like it would unlock everything I want to know. God is in the tapping.
Hopefully I’ll have it out of my system when I go to see my honey.
I am already falling a bit behind in my studies. My schedule is thrown off due to the snow fall that cancelled class on Monday, although I mmight be in the same predictament otherwise since I did have all day Monday to do this shit. I have to read half of this chapter still, do the questions for it by Monday and than behind the scenes make notes for the second and third chapters and double check my work for the class missed to see if I did the problems correctly.
Work has been uneventful lately, some things to do, mostly non emergency yet still important, just not terribly exciting tasks that eat up time. Tomorrow I think I’ll be having a one on one meeting with my boss, should be fun, unless it is cancelled since we have to do markdowns, well she does, I just set up the file. : /
I ate beans, after consulting the Internet first to make certain that I can just put beans in a pot and heat it. After seeing I could put it cold in a salad I figured I wouldn’t get poisened in any weird way. So that was my dinner. I didn’t have chilli with it either. After that started cooking I found the cookies which I had originally wanted for dinner along with milk.
People in bathrooms make some weird sounds, I prefer to use the can in one of the busier washrooms at work since the stall has more leg room and when some people go pee pee they make some pretty weird groaning sounds. I hope I don’t get old and have nice shoes.
Apparently I am weird because of my fear of hand dryers. My fear is actually that a swarm of baby spiders that would be nesting in the hand dryer will come out covering my hands and arms and crawl all over my body of afterwards. Some people think this is a silly fear. Through Google I have found two others with my fear one also fears
He was scared of hand dryers in public loos.
He still is scared of the flush in aeroplane toilets (loud and sudden noise)
He is scared of dogs he doesn’t know …
He is scared of the dark.
He has grown out of most of the noise fears now though (he is 6 and a half)
He also used to be terrified of people in costumes at parties … clowns, giant animal costumes etc etc.
According to his mommy.
The other
Until recently, DS (5) had an irrational fear of hand dryers.
According to his mom.
I feel for them, poor kids. The road in life doesn’t get any easier, you start to imagine all kinds of things coming out of there.
Right at this moment I am in bed with my feet on the mattress and knees in the air, because the cat is cold he is under my legs which are under the blanket. He can be so cute sometimes.
On Friday I shall be going to the Fr!nge festival at Laurier. Should be fun although a couple of plays this year sound boring. Hopefully there won’t be a play on numerology this year.
