Sophistamacated

No teary-eyed goodbyes, please. I’m sure you’ll all miss me in the week that I’m away, but hopefully I’ll get the chance to post of my adventures from the freezing cold internet cafes of Calgary. It’ll be just like I never left.
I’ve decided on the controversial step to not take a laptop. This means that [...]

Answer to the Quiz

Hi Chuckateers. I’m quite tired this morning, with a busy day to go. I got the Purchase Order through, which is very exciting too.
So today I have to pick up the CD recorded on Tuesday night, pay for the Canada trip ($4243.96 is the answer to yesterday’s quiz), buy a warm jumper (if I can [...]

Whoa

As Keanu Reeves has often said, “Whoa.” The ‘Straya Day party was fun, and althoguh its now the end of the long weekend, the benifits extend to this week, with this week being a short one. But as it turns out, it’s also going to be a long one. A VERY long one. Let me [...]

Straya Day Almost

Holla. Things are going well. Went shopping last night and bought some groceries, which is always super exciting. Expensive though - I blame Blacky’s love of all things frozen. Picked up some snags for the Australia day bbq too, so that’s covered. I wonder how Bek’s getting there … Bek? Pick us up on the [...]

Can’t wait to party

D’argghhhh … I did it again. Went waaay over my bandwidth limit and it’s going to cost me. Yech.
On the bright side, had a productive day at work yesterday and today and things are going quite well. Tonight might be soccer I guess … haven’t been told anything though.
Can you believe that it’s a long [...]

Soupy goodness

It’s true what they say: nobody makes soup in a cup like Continental Cup-a-Soup. I’ve transofrmed into a soup junkie of late, and the current blend that’s riding the tidal wave of my affection is the Asian range. They’re all good - Thai Red Curry, Laksa, Seafood Laksa and Creamy Thai Chicken Curry are the [...]

Advanced Googling

This may only work in the States, but it’s cool none the less:
* Enter a phone number & you’ll get a directory listing
* Enter an address & you’ll get a map to the address
* Enter a UPC & you’ll get the items information & where you can buy it
* Enter a tracking number & you’ll [...]

Short and Sweet

I didn’t get much sleep tonight for some reason. I think that I overexcited my brain by thinking of things that I had to do. Not just things I had to do today either … there’s the constant option of upgrading my car, what modifications I need to make to my apartment, which things I [...]

24, Sopranos and Cricket

Another weekend over, and back at work. But what a weekend this turned out to be. To start with, Friday was 24, and Brek and Bryce joined Blacky and I for 3 sweet episodes on the big screen. Was great. Leyton is about 7 episodes behind now, though, so we’re starting to fear that he’ll [...]
