I look like a Corner Gas employee :P

First off, I want to apologize for not updating at all this weekend. I finally got my Internet back up and running as of Saturday morning, and as I've been catching up on what I've missed for the past 2 weeks (which is really stupid of me, I could do that anytime) I didn't feel like chatting with people.

Once I get back into the groove, I'll be online more often. And I'll turn Trillian on for more than 5 minutes. :P

The other thing that's keeping me from getting online so much is the condo. I'm wanting to finish the painting, but I ran out of paint last week on Thursday, so I need to go pick up some more today.

The place is still a mess, as well, partly caused by the painting. Everything's shifted to the middle of the room so I can maneuver around the walls, and the bedroom - which is untouched by a fresh coat of paint, as I can't decide what colour to use - has about 10 boxes in it that I haven't even looked at yet. It's a bit daunting, but I'm going to try to find some boxes to hold my magazines in so I can store them away. I have a ton of boxes from moving, so I bet I'll end up using those.

I got to work today after walking by a row of cars with their hazard lights on - turns out Corner Gas is holding their second year of Free Gas from 7-9am, and it was located at the gas station across the street from ours. When I walked by initially, I got a free hat. :P

I got a call at work, asking of Erich was around to shoot. Unfortunately, he wasn't, but he came in after sprinting from the subway, grabbed a camera, and we went out for a quick story about the spirit of giving. Kim used to know Brent Butt, so they were "It's been a long time!"

I tagged along and basically held the microphone for the interviews. And then I got a Corner Gas hoodie. o.o So now I'm decked out in a hat and hoodie! Sweet!

If I had only known, I would've left earlier. Free gas never hurt. :) And like the officer mentioned during the interview, "No-one is ever smiling at the pumps anymore. Today, from seven o'clock to nine, everyone was leaving with a smile and a wave."

So yeah, watch Corner Gas tomorrow night. :P </plug>

I'll update with my weekend (bowling!) later on tonight.

(no subject)

So here I am, finally deciding to make an entry. I should've gone to bed 30 40 mintes ago, but I promised. :P

Wrok today was very busy, especially since we just designed a new schedule and implemented it today. I still need to get things fixd and up-and-running perfectly for a while before I can relax again. I still have to take my 5 days off somewhere, anyhow. :P

I did a lot of stuff after work today. An associate got some plants and other fish for Lolek's fishtank, so I went to pick up some more gravel and fishfood (as the plants can't set root in a small amount of gravel, and all the other fish don't eat what Lolek eats). I also got more paint (so I can continue painting this week) and more things for the place, including a baking pan (as I had trays, but I can't make Banana Bread on that :P).

On the weekend, I did nothing condo-wise and had a good time socializing. I visited Dave for his Birthday Party, where there was much Bongo-beating (Don-Key Konga!), an awesome game of Cranium (still need to get Atmosfear), and then on a whim, we headed out and bowled for a couple of hours. Rob beat us all. XD

I remember my times from when I was in highschool in the bowling club - it was probably a very odd club at the time, but it was fun! And I really enjoyed myself at the Cosmic Bowling too - it was definitely worth it. :D

Sunday, I get up with The Fanboys and saw Teh_Gabriel! Gabriel Robert Servo Neville is Just. So. Cute! :D

I also had a nice Sunday dinner with the rest of my family, which is typically a family tradition. We've had problems in the past where we were working Sundays, but we're trying not to work on that day anymore so we can enjoy each other's company. And we're not that far away, either, which is nice.

Must stop by SuperPet and get 5 fish for $5. I want that deal. @_@ I also plan to visit Ikea on Thursday as I still need to get stuff like my own towels and juice jugs and things like that. (Anyone care to join me with that? I like Ikea, but it's so much more fun with people!)

It's odd. I haven't been turning on Trillian because I've been wandering around this place and so I didn't want to miss anyone, but also I've been feeling like I need some alone time. And yet, I have the need to want people to come over, but the place is a pure mess due to me painting so it wouldn't be any good. (I haven't even decided what colour I'm going to paint my bedroom, if at all.)

I will turn it on tomorrow. I'll make myself do it. Because I'm working the afternoon shift on Wednesday, so I can stay up a bit later on Tuesday evening (though I want to start painting in the morning on Wednesday, while I have light).

I need to start paying off my bills, but it would be nice if they took my mortgage and condo fees out of my bank account so I'm not waiting on pins-and-needles for them to take that money sitting in my account... Hm, that reminds me, I need to call my bank too. *jots down notes*

I was so close to getting all my debt recovered in Pikmin 2, but then I faced extermination in the underground. ;_; I'll try again...

Whoops, now an hour has passed. I should wrap this up. :P
