SO I went to Maria’s restaurant on Denman last night with two coworkers and did NOTHING except talk about work. The food was fabulous, the service was a little…. I dunno. She kinda flung stuff on the table in a remarkably inelegant fashion.
Now it’s time to go to work and talk about…. the restaurant? Life is so recursive, and passing odd. Thanks for the link Lady Miss B ’cause it was very funny.
I heart heart heart Bruce Schneier
And this article shows, in part, why.
While we’re at it, Mr. Coding Horror Man rocks too.
More cleanup
Katie said to me on Monday, “There was something in your fridge I couldn’t identify.”
I said, “Was it green?”
“Yeah. I think it used to be a vegetable.”
“It was a cucumber – the beginning of October.”
Hysterical laughter.
I am trying to practice thankfulness. Today’s thank…. Hot shower. Oh, oh, the beauty of a hot shower.
Me getting massaged
I was so blissed out that I didn’t even notice when Katie lay on the floor and started taking pictures. Then I did notice her and screamed.
There were quite a few goofy and out of focus pix but this is the best of the lot to my way of thinking.
quiet….
I stayed up late watching a movie and singing and playing last night, and now all I can think about is sleep… so after I take back the movie I think I’m going to curl up and crash.
It is vigorously snowing again.
The weather reports for Vancouver entirely suck. They said it was going to be plus six and rainy, but I guess being situated on this damned big hill makes nonsense of such prognostications.
It’s time to spank the cat
???? spell check
There is a HOWLER of a typo in this webpage.
Check after ‘If u need….”
I came home last night
and Katie had cleaned my apartment. Now she’s sleeping in again, and I’m about to head for work.
My back feels SO much better today. I told Mike to buy me a massage table just like that and I’ll give him the money later. It’s really well designed, holds 500 pounds and is comfy as all get out.
Unlaxed
Mike, may he be praised and adored, has brought over a massage table. Katie took pictures of my face ‘anging through the ‘ole. She is still here, wonderfully enough, and we’re noshing on leftover pizza and fried rice I just made and there are two pieces of dynamite sushi left.
Sorry, must go – my country needs me.
Does anybody have any idea why an Argus was flying around Vancouver?
Kopper and I saw it on Saturday. Freaked the hell out of me… watching a long remaindered aircraft, which your father hunted Russian subs in, flying around Vancouver is right up there on the weirdity scale. UPDATE
Oh, it was an Aurora. Okay, nothing to see here.
Snow and fog
There’s another FOUR INCHES on the ground up here. You can barely see across the street. Tanya from work just called me on my cell to tell me it’s slippery as hell so I gotta burn ass out of here to work – she says nobody is even answering on switchboard, which sucks at 7:30 am.
I’m trying to avoid the presidential race
but this is too good to pass up. A nine year old reviews the GOP debate.
The reason I think it’s really a kid is because I know nine year olds this smart.
