Bored.

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005

We have 450 channels.

The only two programmes on the damned box worth more than a passing fart are Prêt-à-Porter and Porky’s Revenge. Ok, ok… so the fashion movie isn’t even in the same league as the pig movie, but I needed something for comparison.

We have 130 DVDs sitting on a shelf. They’re too far away; work would be involved.

I’m restless. I’m lazy. I’m bored. I’m indifferent.

Yes, Agador, I’m afraid of your heat.

A meme for all seasons

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

To appease the wench over at Cybervassals, I’m actually following a meme :) Don’t tell her…

1. You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451– which book do you want to be?

Well, it certainly wouldn’t be Fahrenheit 451. I hated the book. Any work of fiction that gives Grade 10 English teachers an excuse to torture students isn’t really work the brain storage space. :)

If I had to have a book floating around in my head, it’d probably be something like Treasure Island or A Christmas Carol.

2. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

Yes.

3. The last book you bought is:

The Lions of Al-Rassan // Guy Gavriel Kay

4. The last book you read:

Neverwhere // Neil Gaiman

5. What are you currently reading?

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone // J. K. Rowling

6. Five books you would take to a deserted island:

Apart from the requisite unbound reference material on how to get off the deserted island, and about the sustaining values of plants and animals you’d find on a deserted island, I’d have to choose:

The Name of the Rose // Umberto Eco
The Prophet // Khalil Gibran
The Lord of the Rings // J. R. R. Tolkien
Papillon // Henri Charriere
The Mahabarata

Voodoo Crime was a pain in the…

Mamazilla found me out:

SO GLAD YOU FINALLY REJOINED THE LIVING… i take it that the alternative life of voodoo crime wasn’t paying off? ;)

I kept sticking myself with the pins… the income from the voodoo crime wasn’t really covering the bandaids. AND, to make matters worse, there’s a limited market in Ottawa for people who want to turn their bosses into zombies because most bosses here are either in high tech or government and are ALREADY zombies. :)

It’s PADDY. Sigh.

It’s St. Paddy’s Day, not St. Patty’s Day.

Paddy = Patrick.
Patty = Patricia.

Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland.

Patricia, according to Chris DeBurgh, is the best stripper in town.

I hate green beer.

If you can dye beer green, it’s not worth drinking.

Nuff said.
