I'm a bit worried that Canada has been marked as a target for terrorism, but I won't be scared to go to work unless they announce that they will take over our satellite signals v_v

2 days before the new Harry Potter movie comes out, and this makes the front page of the Globe and Mail. There is a new Russian novel out there called "Tonya Grotter and the Magic Double Bass". I cannot make this stuff up. Check out the cover of one of the novels here. (Now I'm interested in reading the Grotter novels... in English, of course. :P)

Now, while looking for the Harry Potter article, I came upon this little nugget, which talks about the kids growing up as the movies progress... remember Macaulay Culkin? Well, the author of the article gives a quick rundown of other child actors - but the meat of the story is the last three - he estimates where Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint are in a few years. It's very entertaining.

There was also an article in the newspapers today about Scott Adams' new book, The Way of the Weasel. Sounds interesting - he recalled a couple of stories on how people slack off at their jobs - one particularly smart lawyer had no lock on his door, so what he'd do is scatter paper clips on the ground, and sleep on the floor, his feet against the door. When someone came by, they'd attempt to open the door, and the lawyer would wake up, and begin cleaning up the paper clips. ^_^

Tonight on my run, I saw what appeared to be ducklings! Amidst the ducks tonight were smaller ducks, mainly black and white-coloured... I can't identify them tho - it was getting dark, and I was wishing I had my mini-binoculars. v_v

Y'know, with the amount of Vitamin C and Milk I injest, and the amount of time I spend outside in the cold getting food and such, I'm not surprised I'm a Creamsicle yet. A Creamsicle, wearing a yellow sweater.

One more thing: Those who pre-order the Legend of Zelda for GameCube get a Special Collector's Disc which contains not only Ocarina of Time, but Ura Zelda, the "sequel" to Zelda on N64 (which was to be released on the 64DD, but was shelved when the 64DD was killed). I wonder how I can get someone to pre-order that for me... maybe Kikiwai can? ^_^

You do know Japanese Gamecube games require a modification, or that supposed boot disc that keeps getting delayed (and hasn't been released yet). So it won't really do you much good. I don't know many stores that mod Gamecubes other than http://www.ncsx.com.

BTW - If you want a drink that tastes like an orange creamsicle, drink the Orange Sobe Drink, Lizard Tsunami.

:D Now go get Metroid Prime like a good boy, and stop thinking about Mario Party 4 and Animal Crossing.
