The only problem with vegetables in your sandwich is, they tend to make it a lot more slippery, and prone to falling apart.

By the way, I knew Casey Printers would win CFL Most Outstanding Player.

Blog Question Of The Day:

Should I transplant the parts from the 'Blue Furnace' into the leftover computer case I have (shell from the Linux box that had an exploding power supply) to see if that eliminates the heat problems I had with that unit from day one?

Hopefully most of you will be watching the Grey Cup on CBC, when they kick the ball off Sunday afternoon. Those of you that do will probably notice the preponderance of Subway commercials. During the division finals, it seemed like every second commercial was for the barbeque steak and monterey cheese sub.

Word to the wise, it is NOT as good as it looks in the commercial.

I ordered one today. Point A - it is not sliced pieces of beef, like it appears in the commercial. It is the usual ice cream scoop of processed beef. Nor is the cheese as vibrant as in the commercial. And finally, the advertised toasting is not NEARLY worthy of that many commercials. Frankly, my sub didn't feel toasted so much as it seemed to have dried the outer shell, leaving the usual damp moistness to the bun.

Bottom line? Subway is good, but don't go out of your way for any of their new offerings.

That's all for me. I'm out.

Watching the Riders is a lot like getting a lap dance. You see a whole lot of action, get really excited, but you never score.

If we can't laugh at homosexuals, what good are they?

Blog Question Of The Day:

Would my autobiography be an interesting book to read?

You'd think I'd be able to relax now.

I completed my goal for the week. Two projects closing their tender this week. I have, at least preliminarily, secured both projects. Approximate total sales, $300,000.

So why hasn't my headache gone away? I really wanted (and to a certain degree needed) these two projects. They've been keeping me awake, with tension and nervousness for about a week.

Now I have them. So why am I not relaxing? I'm still tense. I still have a headache, and I can still feel the burn in my chest from the ulcer. What the hell is going on?

Maybe, as it was so eloquently put by a friend, I just need to 'get a piece'. . .




I'll console myself with the money.

Toodles!!!

Blog Question Of The Day:

Would a shot for shot remake of 'The Breakfast Club' keep its relevance in contemporary society, or would it seem dated and odd?

Until tomorrow at 2:00, if you need me, I'll be on the phone.

I am listening to MP3's, the same as I do every workday. However, as I listen, I had a thought.

Do you think any of these girls are gonna regret the public image they are currently putting out there for the world? I know that time tends to add a wistful sheen to the indescretions of the past. Some things don't heal though. Tattoo's are forever (or at least the removal scar will be). Sixteen different piercings? Undisciplined romps through the totality of eligible (and not so much, in Britney's case) of celebrity men.

I konw its a double standard. Men should be held to similar standards of behaviour. Maybe its just media coverage, but our young, former ingenue, female stars seem to have all gotten the same unbridled disease. They are poking holes in unmentionable body parts, stealing husbands/fathers, buying stupid expensive items, starting verbal wars with people they don't even know in any way other than as a name in a celebrity journal. And they all have tattoo's. (I think its sexy at 20 but what about at 60?

Someday they're gonna be mom's. For every cool mom, like a Pamela Anderson, there's going to be a thousand others that will live a life of driving their child to soccer, attending parent-teacher interviews, and buying groceries at Safeway. Do you really wanna live this hard, and wild, when the light of celebrity will inevitably fade?

Just a thought.

I hate the Riders.

Destiny Child didn't waste a bunch of money on lyrics for their new single 'Lose My Breath'

I made note of something this evening.

We have gin available, for that very rare bird that wants it. That doesn't happen very often. Nonetheless we have some at our bar (or what passes for a bar in a sports arena) The common reference to it is to call it 'liquid panty remover'.

The particular brand of 'liquid panty remover' we have right now is Beefeater. Is this just a coincidence?

Interesting . . .

New from the world of wacky coincidences:

My credit card balance right now is exactly, $999.99.

My fish died today.

His water was looking a little murky. It has for awhile actually, but I picked Friday as the day to clean his bowl. I did all the same stuff as always. Got a bowl. Filled it with permeate water. I used the room temperature tap, so he wasn't getting shocked. Filled as high as I could, then put him in. He was agitated as always, when I took him out of his bowl, but he swam around excitedly once in the temporary bowl. I started the process of cleaning his real home.

About halfway through the bowl cleansing, I took a look at my fish again. He wasn't moving. At all. I nudge the bowl, to get him to wave his fins. Nothing. He was completely dead, without possibility of revival.

I am now sad. I liked my fish. It was fun to watch him swim around in his bowl, on my desk. I could tap the glass and watch him swim when the vibrations stirred his water. He'd come to the front of the tank, and watch me for awhile. It always made me smile.

I know, its just a fish. I do, however, feel a faint urge to cry. I probably won't, but that swollen feeling that you get around your eyes, just before you start crying, is tinging my consciousness as I write this.

I don't know what I did wrong. I must have done something, because he died only after I moved him from his home. Was it the bowl? Was it moving him? (but he survived the move before) Was it the water? (I used 'pure' water, the same as always) I just don't know. I am a fish killer. I don't like knowing that.

Thoughts?

How am I supposed to take a spam message seriously when they can't even get the spelling right on a word as simple as 'grand'?

Take a look at the GROSSEST thing EVER!!!

Gross!!!

Somebody needs to explain this to me, right away. I'm about to blow an O-ring here with irritation.

I have a little package of M&M's that I want to eat. This is one of those snack-sized M&M packages that come out around Halloween, for inclusion in children's candy hordes.

How the hell is a kid supposed to get into these? The package is sealed better than Fort Knox!!! I'm going insane trying to pull it apart, and I can't do it. And I'm a full grown adult! How's a kid supposed to get this open?

That's it! Where's the ginsu!?!

Blog Question Of The Day:

It is my intention to buy a deep freeze in the near future. (1-2 weeks) How large of a unit should I purchase?
