Remainders: Tired as Shit Edition

  • The Formosa Tea House has these mango jelly dessert things that are sort of like a giant fruit-flavoured gummy floating in mango juice packed in something like a jello cup. Best dessert ever, but eating it without a spoon gives me naughty thoughts.
  • Seeing Matt Good and Melissa Auf Der Maur (former Hole / Pumpkins bassist and all-around Canadian goddess.) on Monday. Quoth the Justin: "if i ask melissa if courtney pulled the trigger then its a given that i get drunk on your tab." me: "yes you do. For one year." Blog exclusive on Monday night? Tune in and fine out. And yes, binnie, you're coming. Go buy a ticket.
  • Might not end up getting to go to Montreal for the Games Summit. Hopefully I will, though, just so I can have the fun of having to respond to "so what do you work on" with "I'm not allowed to say". Though that's probably more common than not in the games industry.
  • I'm getting enough HTML and CSS experience now that I'm starting to consider just writing documents in it and forgetting about word processors. Doing up a little JavaScript counter takes me less time than figuring out how to get Word or WordPerfect to do section headings the way I want, anyway.
  • Speaking of the Formosa Tea House, they used to have a website, but the address now leads to an adult site. This is sort of a back-door extortion benefiting the domain name registration companies as a consequence of not paying your bills or simply deciding to de-register the name.
  • Half-assed Halloween costume: buying a gorilla mask from Zeller's. Brilliant costume: said gorilla mask, but wearing a hat. Don't even bother explaining it, it's more post-modern that way.
  • Had another run-in with the stone-faced, unfriendly fellow ATC tenants today in the elevator. I thought Islanders were friendly. When I think people are being reserved that's when it's serious.
  • I'm seriously disappointed in the amount of follow-up to this.
  • You should all be incredibly grateful at my restraint in not blogging about US politics. But seriously, 370 TONS OF EXPLOSIVES MISSING?? So not only did he have no new weapons, the ones that the world did know about and were keeping an eye on are now gone. Good work, there, folks.
  • Dear Tim Hortons, I'd buy more smile cookies if they didn't taste like I immediately need 5 new fillings.
