And then, christmas was a year away

Well, Christmas rocked. Got a leet phone, an xbox live kit, xbox games, GBA games, superman fabric that Jenn is going to use to make me something neat, and some other cool stuff that I’ll mention sometime later.
All in all, a neat Christmas.
So yeah the phone rocks, and I love the camera in it and the ability to play music with it, and do voice memos and all that jazz. Oh, and I get 6 months free, and tons of perks, cuz my girlie smiled at the guy selling it to her, and he got suckered in. Heh, sucker.


Karla Part 2

Karla, for all you wacky folks, is my 16 year old sister in Newfoundland.


Sarcasm

For those of you who don’t know me well enough in person, my sense of humour is very sarcastic, so all of you people who think I’m serious all the time and hate me for it.. cool, I don’t hate you.
Oh, unless you’re Dan Brennan. Yea, I hate you Dan. Everybody else, remember, life could be worse, you could be Dan Brennan.


Karla

Karla got her permit before me… that’s just scary, congratulations are in store, she beat me 😛
A very rare thing for me to be beaten.. except when Jenn headbutts me.


Snow

I hear you other Canadians bitching about the snow all the time. Hah, snow. You ain’t seen snow.
It makes me feel old having to say this, but… back in my day, we had 12 meter drifts engulfing our houses, idiots (like me) jumping out of windows into HUGE snowbanks trying to shovel themselves out, and not having power for a week.
Now, this is where it gets weird. I’m 25, “my day” was 1995 apparently. Back in nfld we had this major blizzard around new years, and everything went away for a week. The number of telephone polls that were snapped off was something like over 500, 2 in front of my house. Hurricane strength winds and 12 meters of snow and ice, yeah baby.
I don’t whine about having to shovel out a car thats got 2 feet of snow around it, or having to walk in a little baby blizzard, the next person who complains about ‘this is too much snow!’ gets a fat lip, because if you jinx me and I wake up to 12 meters of snow tomorrow morning, I will blame you, I will come to your house, and I will not be a happy newf.
Heh.


The Old Fat Bald man is coming in 3 days

My eyes, they burn, the goggles they do nothing!
Stupid flu.
I need more DayQuil.


Grr… Migrane.. Must Kill All!

wow, listening to static hum usually doesnt bother me.. except when I have a migrane.
You would be amazed by the amout of pain that a simple little bit of background static can cause when youre brains gone all hypersensitive.
I need drugs. No, not those.. the legal kind. Freaks.


Swimming

So it was like walking to work through and olympic sized swimming pool today.
Jenn looked so warm and comfortable curled up in bed under the blankets, so I decided to leave her there rather then drag her out of bed to drive me to work. Big mistake. She had to get up anyway apparently and I basically swam to work. Thanks to 2 City busses who basically drowned me, and all the other dickheads who helped him out. Only one truck avoided a huge trench of water. He was a city worker, they must get in trouble for having fun.
I’m sitting here, with my jeans dripping, and my hair drenched, luckily today for some reason, I packed a spare pair of shoes, and wore my swanky leather trench. Doesn’t help the fact my legs and socks are soaked, but whatever it’s all good.
Hey, at least I’m not Dan Brennan.


Unicycles?

If PaulFirlotte.com wasn’t so physically broken, I could picture him enjoying this, It’s a unicycle mountain bike.


Heh

6. Finish off every one of Elrond’s lines with “Mr. Anderson.”
I kept wanting to do that last night, I even giggled for a while (5-10 minutes) thinking of it.


Dear Sweet Crap

The whole “being up till 4-ish watching a movie and getting up at 7”, yea, thats so not cool. I should have slept in longer.
I need a home phone, It would make these mornings easier to put up with.
Home Phone + VPN + Woman = Happy Rob


XMas Porn

Oh, and I want this for xmas


Lord of the Rings

Well, that was a kick ass movie, made me feel better after that stupid matrix letdown.
The swords, and blood were awesome, some neat fire effects, and a lot of cheese. I loved it, I’d get it on DVD right away, but the MPAA would hurt me. So like everyother person on the planet, I’ll wait till next november to get the extended version.
I hope this year passes quickly.


Bah

“Yay”
Been looking around trying to find a decent sms sending setup. Picking through other peoples pages, 3rd party apps, etc. I’ve decided that nobody on this planet can write html for crap. And that all the stupid ‘custom’ sms pages out there are made by idiots who dont know shit about error trapping.
Time to make my own I guess.

Leet

I’m a big old school Nintendo fan, being that I grew up with it. Found a neat little site that lets me play all my favorite nintendo games online. Sort of pertty damn cool if you ask me.
Gonna try to get to LOTR tonight, if theres a midnightshowing in the province. Hopefully the snow will put off all but the hardcore fans.


I swear…

If somebody fucks this movie up for me, I will take a hammer to their toes.


Things *not* to do while watching Return of the King

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, “Wait… where the hell is Harry Potter?”
2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” – After the movie, say “Lucas could have done it better.”
3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: “The Ring.”
4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.
5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.
6. Finish off every one of Elrond’s lines with “Mr. Anderson.”
7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, “And I did it…. MY way…!”
8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone’s finger and fall down the stairs.
9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact “The Battle of Helms Deep” Monty Python style.
10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout “Barbecue!”
11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout “RUN FOREST, RUN!”
12. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: “That’s what I’m Tolkien about!” See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.
13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, “Where’s Waldo?”
14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.
15. Start an Orc sing-a-long.
16. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.
17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and shout, “I see dead people!”
18. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.
19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.
20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California.
21. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, “Man! Charlotte’s really let herself go!”


Snow Day!

Time to hurt, just so happens that I’m sick after I come home to work via the VPN.
Go me!


Christmas Shopping

Well, we got most of the xmas shopping done Saturday, and I think Jenn was supprised at how fast and easy it was to do, I got most of her’s done last month, so all is good on that front. Except for stuff for her stocking, I still need to fill that thing up with goodies..


Ugh, is it time to goto bed yet?

Well, then. The OAOT XMas party was awesome, It was at the Delta, I’ve never been there before for anything other then passing through to a former job. Had some good food, and a good beer, with a good woman. So it was a pretty damn good night.
Jenn wore this long slinky red dress, looked damn ass hot in it. Pictures will follow soon. I even shaved my beard off for the event. Supposidly I looked pretty good, I still need to loose 10 lbs for me to be happy though, But I guess having lost 15-20 is a good start.


Wow

I opened this conference call yesterday at 8am est, and I’m JUST finishing it. How damn leet.
