Last Night

Went home and had a bowl of soup (about the only food I had that I could make quickly enough) before heading off to our ball game. Afterwards I hung out at the Ice Park with Janet and my friend Drew who had come down to watch after a Conservative meeting. Following that I went grocery shopping, made some more food, and watched X-Men.

Last Night

After work I headed to baseball where we were managed to play our first game to a full 7 innings. After baseball I made a brief stop off at Cramdon's for a drink. At that point I headed home to pack up for Toronto tonight. Before bed I went to check my email only to realize our router had completly died. Unfortunatley I had no time to diagnose the issue so it will remain broken until the weekend when I have a chance to address the problem.

Last Night...

Went home, read, ate. Made a quick trip to staples, then back home. Sanded down the dry wall patching and put on the next layer to fill the rest of the screw holes. That wrapped up around 10 so i watched a bit of tv with Mar, read and went to bed.

Last Night

After work I stopped by my sisters house to gather up some things before baseball practice. Following that was the aforementioned baseball practice. Once practice wrapper up I headed to Brians to watch the basketball game.

Friday

Friday: Went home and made some dinner, then Janet came over and we watched Hackers.

Saturday: Spent most of the day doing very little, then for dinner I went over to Janet's place. Following dinner (which was kinda late) we watched some hockey and walked down to the river.

Sunday: Read a bit, watched the end of Reefer Madness (boy am I freaked out now) and basically did a whole lot of nothing.

The Weekend

Friday night was spent at Cramdon's, followed by a party at Jay's house.

Saturday was spent lounging around the house until I had to drive my younger sister to Chatham. Upon returning to Chatham I headed to Brian's to install some software on his computer. Later that evening I returned to Jay's house where we watched half baked.

Sunday was spent working on some things I needed to have done for today while wrapping up my Season 5 viewing of Smallville. Later that evening I headed to Spicoli's for our usual Sunday night gathering.

The Weekend...

Friday: Did a bunch of work around the house, resealing a shower, filling holes in drywall and what not, stopped working on that around 11pm. Then watched some tv with Mar and went to bed.

Saturday: Got up, cut the lawn for the first time since we leveled it and seeded it, it had been weeks. Started trimming the weeds but ran out of time before we had to head off to kingsville to pick up a cake for a party her family was having. Showed up there, i read outside since no one was around and i'm alergic to her cat. People showed up, they had a party with around 70 people. We eventually left about 5 hrs later then we said we'd leave when we got there.

Sunday: Woke fairly early, got groceries and headed back home to eat and start working outside again. Mar's parent's came over to help her plant some flowers. I worked on trying to straighten the fins on the air conditioning unit, setting up and the patio set, finishing the weed trimming. Then we headed over to my parent's for my mom's bday. My dad had an old roller i made a new handle for to be able to use at my place, as it's small enough to pull around by hand. After the party headed home, watched a bit of tv and went to bed.

Last Night

Went home and cleaned up a bit before people came over, then made some dinner. Took a look at the Lost episode Janet downloaded for me, and found out that it was the one hour recap prior to the finale. Friends came over and we discussed plans for our houseboating trip. After that a couple of us played a game of poker.

Last Night

After work I headed over to visit with my a couple of my sisters old roommates (they were almost broken into again, so they're trying to keep people around the house as much as possible). From there I met up with Gino at Moxie's for coffee. Once things wrapped up at the mall I went to Rock Bottom to watch the hockey game. Midway through the game we moved the party to the Brick House to watch Chris & Chris play their acoustic set. Following that it was home to bed.

Last Night...

Went home, cooked up some burgers and cheese sausages, quite tasty. Did some cleanup maintenance on my computer. Tried out a program called chief architect. Very neat, you can easily make floor plans and have 3D renderings and layouts for your house, and test out what each room would look like with different colours, furniture, or whatever you want. Um ya, anyways, then i watched some tv and went to bed.

Then it was home to bed.

Last Night...

Went home, read, ate and then had a quick nap. Got up did a few things around the house. Watched some birds make their way through the jungle of our back. This weekend i should probably cut it.

The Long Weekend

Friday night started out with a trip to the mall after work. After some shopping I headed for some dinner and then over to my sisters place to kill a little time while I waited for the evening's plans to be finalized. Eventually I headed to Brian's where we hung around for the remainder of the evening.

Saturday was spent sleeping in for the majority of the day. The time that was spent awake wasn't used very productively. Later in the evening we all headed to the movies (The Davinci Code). After the movie we all headed home.

Sunday morning didn't include much. The afternoon was spent running around with my Dad trying to help him find a new computer and a couple things he needed to get his video camera working properly. The evening was spent at my cousins birthday followed by downtown for a friends birthday. After the bar we all headed back to Brians to continue to party.

Monday we had a going away party for my cousin who is moving back to Alberta. After to party I returned home to watch the season finale of 24 and go to bed.

The Long Weekend...

Friday: Was tired from a couple weeks of barely being able to sleep. Although i ended up staying up until 4am watching movies.

Saturday: Woke up about 7:20am couldn't sleep anymore. Layed in bed until around 2pm, still didn't sleep. Was pretty much useless in that condition, as i was quite frustrated at not being able to sleep. We went out to one of Mar's friend's place for supper. Then back home.

Sunday: I'd finally slept a good nights sleep. We woke up started working on the trim in Mar's office. My parents came over, we made a trip to homedepot to pick up baseboard and a new bbq. We got all the moulding (ended up buying moulding instead of baseboard, it looked nice) cut and ready to be nailed up. They got all the trim and doors painted. After a bite to eat at arby's we came back to continue the work. A squirrel had been getting into my little garden shed and eating things like a canvas top of a gazebo and the end of an extension cord. We chased the squirrel out and put up wire grating/mesh in all the eves to keep it out. Then i showered up and we went over to one of Mar's friends place who was in town and watched The Ringer, which was pretty good.

Monday: Got up, got some nails from home dept, went grocery shopping. Went home, Mar went flower shopping with her mom and sister. I put together the bbq, turns out the bbq cover they told us would fit was way too small. Did a bunch of other stuff i've been meaning to do around the house for months. Tried out the bbq for supper, worked well. Finished doing stuff around the house at about 9:30 pm. And sat down for a relaxing wrap up to the long weekend.

After work I met up with Gino and we test drove cars for a bit while we waited to hear from Brian. We then headed over to his place to check out the situation with their computer (they've been having some trouble with it over the last little while and recently had the MB, CPU and power supply replaced). After dinner we hung around the garage for a while and eventually headed to Rock Bottom before I ultimately decided to call it a night.

Last Night...

Went home, had dinner, got a small case of some food poisoning. So ya i won't go into details about that. Drank a bunch of water while working on my dad's computer. Finished that all up.

Had a strange dream last night...

I had a strange dream last night. I was at my parents place. Mar and i were downstairs and it was late. I came up to turn off all the lights and close my curtains in my old bedroom. I looked out the window and two giant spotted owls worked their way out of the ditch. They were at least 3 ft tall, had fuzzy brown fur with darker browny-orange spots all over them. The one was injured so it hopped on the other owl's back and they tried flying away but were too heavy. Finally they waddled off across the lane and out into a field. Little kids were walking down the road(why so late who knows, it's a dream), they saw the hurt owls and went to go catch them.

Just then a large pickup truck, with extended board sides drove up. There were kids in the back, and i heard them yell to their dad, "There they are, there they are!". So the father got out, climbed into the back of the pick up, and picked up a rifle. I thought, oh damn he's going to kill the owls, what a shame, but probably tasty. So he aimed and shot and one of the wandering children that had caught up to the owl dropped. I thought, wow, that's bad luck, then he shot again and the other kid dropped, then again for the third. Then i watched as he dragged the bodies back into the back of the pick up with his kids. At this point i was hoping he hadn't seen me, so i ducked down. I peeked again to catch glimpses of what looked like he was skinning the dead kids right there. I thought, oh damn, he's going to eat them.

So i ran around trying to make sure everything was locked(never occured to me to call the police), also i wanted it to turn off the lights, but if i did, he'd know i'd seen him and come for us too. This went on for quite sometime. Eventually i came upstairs when someone insisted another person was in the house in a second floor that didn't exist. I could hear them from the bottom of the stairs. I started freaking out, wondering how to fight this off, but i was getting bored of the dream. So i thought about other things it could be, then i realized it was my girlfriend who'd gone upstairs to talk on the phone. Anti-climatic yes, but i didn't feel like getting eaten.

Last Night...

Went home, found out we were babysitting Mar's nephew for a while. Ate dinner, helped entertain the baby. My dad dropped off his laptop to fix (never got around to it). Continued entertaining the baby with Mar until his parent's showed up. Spent about 45 minutes working through the census webpage, as it wouldn't connect for quite some time, then i had to update java virtual machine, then each page took at least 2 minutes to load. Although i imagine had i not left it to the last minute the site would have went a little faster, as all those left to fill out the form in the country were doing the same thing.

Last Night

After work I headed to my sisters house to kill a little time. Later in the evening I met up with Alaina at Chanoso's for dinner. Following dinner I headed to Cramdon's to finish off the evening.

Tuesday, May 16, 2006

Last Night

Went home and took a nap, then woke up when an old friend from high school that I talk to intermittently called to tell me he got engaged.

Saturday: We slept in. Woke up feeling quite well, as there were no cats or animals around, also no one wearing perfume or cologne. We did quite alot of shopping, I got a pair of pants for the christining the next day, bought Mar's bday present, a lounge chair to go with our patio set, we also got grocerries for the week. Just had a quiet, alergy free evening at home, nice and relaxing.

Sunday: Got up early, we stood as god parents for Mar's nephew. Went back to Mar's parents place to start another alergy attack with her cat. After many hours there, for that party and the mother's day celebration, we headed to my parents place. After a few hours there, cat free, i felt human again. We had our mother's day fun and a pizza and headed home to sleep.

Monday i went home exhausted, sitting in the cold for 9 hrs had taken it's toll. My head pounded, my neck was sore, and i just didn't feel well.

Made it outside by 4:30 to cook some burgers, which it turned out, i wasn't up to eating. I put together a patio table while i was waiting for it to cook. The rest of the night i just rested, watched tv, read a bit, and went to bed.

Following baseball some guys from the team went for drinks at the bar, after which I headed to Cramdon's to wrap up the night.
