As I’m nearing graduation (next Tuesday), I guess no time’s any better than right now to reassess what things I want to accomplish in the next year or so. I apologize if this is the most random list that you’ve ever seen:
- Get my G (and M) driver’s license
- Do volunteer work overseas
- Buy another guitar and amp
- Donate to Amnesty International
- Do the CN Tower climb
- Pay off my school debt
- Go back home
- Buy a house
- Gain 10 pounds (half-way there)
- Install OS X Leopard on a netbook
- Build my own PC
- Get your own host and domain
- Finish my personal projects
- Go to Las Vegas
- Visit (again) the new AGO and the not-so-new ROM
Let’s see how many I can cross off this list by the end of the year.

01. Nice necro post, moron! No one has posted in this [blog] since 1988…UNTIL NOW!!!!
How lazy can you get? Well apparently, very.
Well, it’s not really what it looks like (or maybe it is). You see, after doing my stint at IBM, I’ve started thinking about buying/renting/smooching off my own host and domain. But jeez, going back to school was really tough financially (eherm…excuses) since I couldn’t loan as much OSAP as I can, and I was trying to save up my savings (wha..?) so it’ll last me for a good year and a half since I’m half-assed on my studies and needed to stay for another term. And then House was on. So, that plan just went down the drain, and the site I was planning on building just fell apart (I got screenshots to prove it!). Anyways, I got to thinking that maybe a free blog isn’t such a bad idea for now since, let’s face it, no one really reads this blog anyways. In addition to that, other Really CoolTM people I met working on projects started linking on my blog again. So it would really be a shame if I just let this blog die like the rest of the other blogs that are…dead. So what interesting things happened since then? Well, I…
- bought a VAIO laptop
- worked with awesome people over the summer doing NSERC
- went to Boston, New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Mexico
- watched a Raptors playoff game
- saw Foo Fighters live in concert (and tons of other bands from VFest),
- got this really cool guitar effects
- got kicked out of the church band
- watched House Seasons 1 to 4 two weeks straight
- finished my courses and graduating soon
- got hired back at IBM
- met awesome-er people while “volunteering” for a project
- am playing again at the (youth) church band
- saw a 4 and 1/2 hour movie (Che)
- finally tried ice skating for the first time
If that’s not an update, I don’t know what is. Now, as for the plan on whether I’m still planning on buying a host site/domain, well, it’s just a matter of figuring out now of what to put up there other than erudite ferrets and bacon sites. I guess I could migrate this to a more permanent place to commemorate how awful I write, but I’m not sure if I have the manpower to do that just yet. But just in case, I’ll put this link up so I’ll have no excuses not to post.
Syphilis is dead. Long live syphilis.

This is a bleep to the intarweb to let it know I still exist. Exams is approaching. Intravenous caffeine not working. What to do? Going to Dilbert or XKCD for advice seems to be a smart idea at this very moment.
