I just gotta be me!

Yeah, I tried the new templates but it just didn't feel right so I chose to go back to the original black template, you know, something that matched the colour of my Gnomish soul. Mwhahaha, indeed.

Supernatural

Ok, ok, ok. I admit it, I have been known to catch the occasional Gilmore Girl episode (Although, lately I think it's just wasting good airtime.)
Anyhoo, I'm sorry for the GG thing but I've never tried to hide that I was lame so deal with it... Take solace in the fact that I hate myself for watching WB shows.
Internal loathing aside, I have to tell you, I like Supernatural. It airs on Thursdays at nine and most of the time scares the crap out of me. It's not like I am a Scaredy Cat or anything but hey, it's dark outside at nine and I live with Kiwi and Whitey and they're no help whatsoever should a scary murderous ghost come and get me so I sometimes watch large chunks of the show on "mute". Or I hide behind a pillow. Or I pick Kiwi up and hold her out just so so that she can block 85% of the screen. It's probably an odd sight to people passing by the window... Heck, it seems odd just typing the words.

Check the show out. It's amusing.

All clear on the NPM front

All the partners are on a different floor for their monthly meeting so it's really quiet here. Generally I would be wary of such occurences but I know they will only be back at 5pm... after I leave so no hell is going to break loose during my lovely Friday.
Nineteen degrees. Sunny. Light work day. Free snow taffy. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

So...Sweet

Today my office building (The Telus Tower) had a free snow taffy thingy. It had been years since I last had some and let me tell you, concentrated maple goo is yummy.
And so very sweet.
Thanks Mr. Building!

This Bunny is naughty...Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I'm working on the Penskie file

I so bored.
I am work right now and I don't really have anything to do. I have completed all my tasks already and now I am wishing someone had taught me the important lesson of how to spread out my work so it lasts for hours.

Great, now I have to pretend to be working on the Penskie file for the rest of the day à la George Constanza.

Another Question for the Muddler

Mudd, can you help me get rid of a virus on a computer? I don't have it right now (it's in FLA with the 'rents, who decided to give up on it and buy a Toshiba.)
Anyhoo, I believe it's kind of like the one you got from pre-used IBM a few months ago. I'm not going to lie to you, it's got some issues but with your techno brilliance I thought maybe you could help. Maybe then I could upgrade from a really old laptop to just an old laptop.

I could pay you... Poorly.

P.S. If you could fix the glitch I would admire your techno-geekiness forever. And with gusto.

Stoopid Template

My template was giving my grief so I had to switch over.
Again.
Let's hope this one works out better than the last otherwise it's back to "Minima Black".

*Edited because I had to change to a new template after I posted this. Rassafrassah...

Cross your fingers...

On Friday I am going to go look at a 700 sq ft. loft in St. Henri and I am hoping it is what I have been looking for. It's within my price range and damn it, I've always wanted to live in a loft.

Revenge of the Bunny

I don't care what you think... I like the Gin Blossoms

Where did they go anyway?

I finally got old enough to make this song meaningful...

"29"

Time won’t stand by forever if I know it’s true
And I’ve learned not to say never
Or else I’ll seem the fool
Twenty-nine you’d think I’d know better
Living like a kid
When my lies may seem less than clever
Is when I fall for it
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Some rides don’t have much of a finish
That’s the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifference
Without a second look
There’s no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted-out hinges
Take ’em for a ride
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Only time will tell...

Friday's Bunny

Gnomish Dreams

Thanks to John for this link.

Last night I had a peculiar dream and it actually made me laugh when I woke up but then I became confused. Then I became agitated. Then I became hungry and ate a bagel.
Anyhoo, here is the dream:
I had bought a house in an unknown neighbourhood with my cousin (who got married this summer) and it was a large Victorian gem. I have always had a thing for attics so I was really excited that this one had one and that it was completely renovated. The house was quite lovely and really large but to the point of having too many rooms for the actual space, you know what I mean? So, the amusing part was that when I had a house-warming party and invited my friends and family over and started showing them the house it suddenly occured to me all the rooms were bathrooms.

Here is what dreammoods had to say about the symbols in my dream:

House

To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche. In general, the attic represents your intellect, the basement represents the unconscious, etc. If the house is empty, then it indicates feelings of insecurity. If the house is shifting, then it suggests that you are going through some personal changes and changing your belief system. If you live with others in your walking life, but dream that you are living alone, suggests that you need to take new steps toward independence. You need to accept responsibilities and be more self-reliant.

To see an old, run-down house in your dream, represents your old beliefs, attitudes and how you used to think or feel. A situation in your current life may be bringing about those same old attitudes and feelings. Alternatively, the old house may symbolize your need to update you mode of thinking. If the house is new, then it indicates that you are entering into a new phase or new area in your life.

Bathroom

To dream that you are in the bathroom, relates to your instinctual urges. You may be experiencing some burdens/feelings and need to "relieve yourself". Alternatively, it may symbolize purification and self-renewal. You need to cleanse yourself, both emotionally and psychologically.

Cousins

To see your cousin in your dream, represents something or some aspect of your character that is somewhat familiar. Perhaps you need to spend more time in cultivating and developing some emerging ability or character.

Room

To dream that you are in a room, represents a particular aspect of yourself or a particular relationship. Dreams about various rooms often relate to hidden areas of the conscious mind and different aspects of your personality.
To dream that you find or discover new rooms, suggests that you are developing new strengths and taking on new roles. You may be growing emotionally.
To see an appealing or comfortable room in your dream, signifies opulence and satisfaction in life.

I am fascinating, I know.

Halifax Bound?

Most of my friends know that I am interviewing for a job in Halifax therefore that pretty much means ALL the readers of this blog know I might be moving there but I just wanted to tell those who might not be in the know. I would be starting there in a couple of months and yes, it's a little scary but that's no reason not to take a chance, right? Right? The way I look at the situation is, "Well, I was moving anyway."
It's something new and challenging so I am psyched at the prospect of the responsibility.
Plus, I've got plans for people when I am there. You know who you are.

I find myself basically in a win-win situation because if I don't get it then I still get to work where I am currently and this place is great.

P.S. I know I am missing the Warwick guy but I already featured him on Guy Candy. Sorry Steffo!

New link

My friend John has a blog. Check it out, he's a talented writer who has some interesting things to say. He's in Tennesse right now, originally from New Jersey and aims to be from, uh, somewhere else. I think he's like the wind, man. Whoosh, indeed.

Scott, Scott. *Sigh*

You suck.
It's too bad you didn't come, remember that cute band from the Old Orchard on Monkland that we heard on my birthday? Yeah, they were there. You missed out.
Silly boy.
