C - Chore you hate? - Laundry, or Cleaning my room

F - Favorite actor? - Um... Christopher Glover? [j/k] I dunno...

G - Gold or silver? - Gold

I - Instruments you play? - None... I played Recorder back in 4th Grade (who didn't?) and can one-key-play Piano for maybe 2 songs...

J - Job title? - Master Control Operator at a Non-Profit Roman Catholic Digital Cable Channel.

X - X-rays you've had? - My teeth, recently to discover that my wisdoms needed to be taken out, and about 10-15 years ago when I had to get corrective braces.

Y - Yummy food you make? - Beef Stroganoff. Both the quick-n-easy version and the 3-hour version. ^_^

Z - Zodiac Sign? - I was born on February 19th, which is right on the cusp. Depending on the newspaper or horoscope company, I'm either Aquarius or Pisces. If you're using the Chinese Zodiac, I'm from the Year of the Ram/Sheep. If you're using Fruits Basket, Hiro Souma.

I was planning on going to the Arcade sometime soon, but it turns out that SARS has hit Pacific Mall. I don't even know where the "Ruby's" Restaurant is... *shrug* That sucks.

I said I wasn't going to post in my LJ while I'm at work... but I realized... I don't have anything else to do >_< So, I'll just be cautious.

I have a number of little things that I've written in my Palm that I should dump to the LJ... I haven't done that in a while. If I remember to, I'll do that when I get home.

Or perhaps I'll unwind with Wind Waker and try to get to the second dungeon. *Whacks Gohma over the head with a giant rock - glee* I love slapstick... :P

Maybe I should upgrade my computer... I don't even know if it's upgradable... Aaah! That's irritating. I'm a tech-head and I don't know if I can update my Processor O_o Plus, money... O_o

Thre's another wierd 1980s anime about mice (they look Hamtaro-ish but are definitely not them) on Telepace.

Anyhow, ever since Sony's dropped the ball on AIBO, I've been seeting my sights elsewhere.

Sadly, it's still a Sony product. I've been told by a friend that Sony Canada isn't doing too well and is planning on reducing their product range to just Home Entertainment (TVs, Stereos, Home Theatre, etc). So maybe it will never see the light of day in Canada... which sucks...

...but instead of an AIBO, now I want an SDR-4X II.

I figure that when they annouce the price of these 2-foot-tall guys, the price will be something like $10,000US. The original AIBOs that came out were in the $5,000US range. O_o

...and by the time the price comes down, I bet I'll be wanting something else, too... :P

I had decided to go out for lunch today (mmm, Lemon Chicken) and ordered-ahead. I only had 25 minutes to get there and back, and so I figured I'd take the car.

Good move.

It's snowing. O_o

I stepped out into a veritable snowstorm, and the grass had already been coated in a blanket of white.

And then, on the way back, a Police Car zoomed right in front of me. Turns out there was a car crash at the main intersection near work - and I had just gone through it twice. I feel incredibly lucky that it wasn't me. I had stopped for a Hot Chocolate on the way back and I wonder that if I hadn't, if I was the one who would've been hit >.<

After the news has been recorded (it'll be done in 15 minutes), I get to leave and go up to the new location with Paul. We have to make a general setup of the room so that we can get the move done in May. I sure hope that I've thought of everything...

Heh.

I just called RedOctane... well, apparently they just moved, so responses were a bit slow ... still, 3 weeks is not "slow", that's "molasses".

I called them, got ahold of the Auctions department, and they're going to send out a totally New dancemat, minus the foam because I already have that, and that's not where the problem lays.

So, anyone want a RedOctane dance skin? :P

I don't know how, but for some reason, this website was advertised on a pop-up. I guess it's kinda fitting.

One of the funniest things I find while I'm driving is observing other drivers. Today, on the way home, I saw a guy get out of his car, fuming mad, and swore. I didn't hear him swera - my music was up too loud - but it was pretty obvious what he said. And it looks like the car tapped his bumper - there wasn't even a scratch on the paint. :P

A few days ago, I let someone take a left, and instead of waving, he gave me a "peace" sign. It made me smirk. ^_^

H2G2 has a pair of good articles to read - a very funny one about How to Change a Flat Tyre (yes, that's the British spelling of tire), and one on how to make HTML Tags, which is good for all those who wonder how I get all these links in here. ^_^

I get that happening on Kazaa sometimes, too.
Maybe I should stop with the Bash links...

I think I may have to get a Broken Miho poster...

This is nice. Finally, there's a ban on using cell phones while driving in Newfoundland. It's a start, at least.

And finally, I noticed this company while driving today... I wonder if any web-savvy people would want them redeveloping their property...
