happiness and disaster.

For the first time in my life I have a sunburn. The bottom half of my back is nicely tanned, but my shoulders are red. I didn't wear sunscreen today. I thought my genes/race would protect me, since I've never been burned before. I should have known better since the UV index was 9. Since my back hasn't seen the sun in years it was about as white as an Albino's, so it really shouldn't surprise me, either.

My new obsession is America's Got Talent ...or until Big Brother: All Stars starts July 6th. So pumped for that.

I'm too tired to write up my MacBook review so it'll go up sometime this week or over the weekend. Maybe Monday since I have the day off. I still don't have any solid plans for Canada Day. Yikes. Anyone?

I only have two more posts before I tie my total Livejournal post count. Oh my, will Blogger become my new method of conversing on the interweb? I guess we'll find out shortly... That reminds me I have to update my Livejournal at some point before Friday. Gotta post at least once a month.

the weight is a gift.

Hmmm, it's been a while since I updated, sorry. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to update over the summer either, since starting Wednesday I work all day, and when I get home I'll probably be exhausted. Oh who am I kidding? I'll look for any excuse to use my MacBook. Speaking of my MacBook, tomorrow/today/Monday marks 1 week with it. Happy 1 week anniversary! I'll post a review tomorrow. And in case you were wondering, I'll be un-biased and as subjective as possible. No fanboying from me.

Anyway, like I said, Wednesday is the first day of the summer program. What happens is that during the school year Kids Connection is an after school program, but during the summer it's a day camp. I'll be working from 7:30/8 to 5:30 every day. That's 10 hours. With close to 60 screaming kids. Yay. Oh well, it's a lot better than it sounds. We go somewhere new everyday. The first week alone we're going to Kings Castle Provincial Park and Beach, Tea Hill and Fort Amerst. I'll post about where we go everyday so you know where I've been.

Reese comes home tomorrow/today/Monday. I'm pretty excited. Can't wait to see you again. Although, by the time you read this we will have seen each other again.

Anywho, I'm going to bed. Canada Day weekend is coming up and I have no plans so far. Humbug. Superman Returns is also coming out this week. I have to find someone to go see it with.

state of the union.


Hmmm, what's this I see? Why, it's a FedEx truck! I wonder what they could be bringing...


Hmmm. It looks like a brown box. But what's in the brown box?


Hmm. I can't really read what that says. Maybe if we remove it completely?


Why! It's a MacBook! Let's open more!


Mmm. Styrofoam protection. But let's open more!


Hmm. I wonder what could be inside this gray thing?


Why...why...It's an actual MacBook!


Doesn't the magnetic latch give you a warm, fuzzy feeling?


Oh la la, it's booting OS X! Exciting innit? Yeah, you know it is...


Look at that, 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo and 1 GB of RAM. At last, there is justice in this cruel, cruel world...

stars are blind.

Paris Hilton finally came out with her first single. If this is karma then what did the entire human race do to deserve this? Is this some sort of punishment God has inflicted upon mankind for wandering so far away from him? Girl has no talent at all. I read in an interview that she always knew she wanted to sing, and that when she opens her mouth this "other voice" comes out of her and that it was time she showed the world. If by "other voice" she means the synthesizers change hers to the point where it doesn't even sound like her, then yeah, it's "another voice." Or maybe she means she's pulling a Milli Vanilli and not really singing? Wouldn't surprise me since she cannot sing. Friggin, even I can sing better, and you know that's saying something. How did this cheap porno girl get famous anyway?

don't listen to the radio.

1/ How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

2/ If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

3/ Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?

4/ Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

5/ Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

6/ Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

7/ What did cured ham actually have?

8/ How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

9/ Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

10/ If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

11/ If you drink Pepsi at work in the Coke factory, will they fire you?

12/ Why are you IN a movie, but you are ON TV?

13/ Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

14/ How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America?

15/ Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

16/ If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call?

17/ Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

the long way around.

So my work got broken into and robbed. There's a room where the door side of the wall doesn't go all the way to the ceiling, instead it stops about 4 feet from the top. Anyway, they hoped over the wall into this room, the same room where we keep all the electronics. They stole the Game Cube, PlayStation 2, controllers, games, even the dinky little piece of crap cordless phone. On top of that they popped open the computer and took out it's insides. RAM, Hard drive, AGP card, even the processor! Lifted everything. It's one thing to steal, but to steal these things from kids? Because that's who use them. Not the staff, not my boss, but the little kids that go to Kids Connection. There's something seriously wrong with people who would steal a high tech form of candy from a kid.

PS// The world cup has a hold of me and it won't let go.

not ready to make nice.

I just realized that the month of May marked my blogs birthday. I've had it kicking around since 2002, so that makes it...4 years old? Wow. Sorry blog, next year I promise I won't forget.

In other news the anti-christ did nothing today. Like I knew he would. 6-6-6 was too over-rated for my liking. It's just a day, no need to make such an "omgtheworldsgoingtoend!" fuss. Talk about Y2K dejà-vu.

tomorrow starts today.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a terrible student. Blah.
Aside from that, I had a pretty decent weekend. Deathtrap is over so that's one less responsibility and thing I have to worry about. It went extremely well so that's another plus. In 8 days my summer class ends and then I'll be free - finally. I can't complain though, 2006 has been a great year so far.
