We Need a Home

[EDIT: Pictures no longer available on that server.]
Their mum is looking for a home for them, so I thought I’d put the word out here, too, in case any readers in the Vancouver area are interested in taking home these lovely cats. I’d consider it, myself, except that my building has recently adopted a “no [...]

Twilight Zonish

I used to LOVE the old show Twilight Zone. My brothers and I would watch the black and white version religiously and creep ourselves out.
I just had a Twilight Zone moment. I went ’round to the optometrist’s to pick up a couple of boxes of contact lenses, and they weren’t there anymore. Instead, there was [...]

If you’ve seen these before, just move along, eh? (–see, I threw in obligatory Canadian punctuation)

1. Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, “I think I’ll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?”2. Who was the first person to say, “See that [...]

PowerBook Geekfest

PowerBook Geekfest
Eliza put me on a geek timer… I had 10 minutes.
“TIME’S UP, GAIL!”
She’s getting out her major artillery:
- nail polish remover- nail clippers (with built-in compartment)- nail file- cuticle remover- cuticle scissors- cuticle picker, edge-trimmer thingy (?)- nail buffer- some kind of cuticle pumice stone thingy
That’s BEFORE the nail [...]

It’s Tuesday, and Telus decided Tuesday, September 28, was Take Gail Down Day. I’m still mad, and it is as of yet unresolved, so I’m not going to say more about it until the situation is rectified — which MUST be Wednesday. Because, UNTIL IT IS, I am an IRATE CUSTOMER.
IRATE. CUSTOMER.
Irate Customer is [...]

… who delivered my spare Powerbook battery this afternoon, the last item on my Apple order. I guess there’s an afternoon guy and a morning guy. No flirtin’ with this one. I’ll tell you why later.
ADDENDUM (for Muckdog et al):
The second FedEx guy was, I’m guessing, Filipino. I can spot ‘em a mile away. (If [...]

For the TV Addict

Yep, that’s a TV on the fridge. Isn’t it crazy? We saw this fridge at Fry’s Electronics in Renton (we were there two days in a row) for $3,000!! You’d have to be a real TV addict to get this in your kitchen. If you love TV that much, you’re better off mounting a TV on a wall bracket or arm extension that you can pivot for maximum viewing possibilities, not a static unit. Does the ice maker have a MUTE so you don’t miss anything on the morning news broadcast while you load up your cup? Does the TV have a DVD player?? (Doesn’t look like it.)

Karl, Post-Tri

Karl got back from his tri, and I snapped photos of him and all his gear before he hit the shower. We were going to make avatars for this week and next — it’s “Bathing Suit Week” right now, then “Tattoo Week” — so I tried to get his number tattoo before he washed it off. Dunno if we’ll use it, but Karl’s still getting used to so many photos being taken of him!

Fun With Digital

driving with Karl
Heather and I are watching a DVD at Karl’s place right now: Before Sunrise, with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, the film before Before Sunset, which I watched not long ago and posted about. What a lazy weekend — we’re kicking back in front of Karl’s home theatre, [...]

Seattle skyline

A pic I took late in the evening, when Karl took us to west Seattle, for a view of the skyline.
