BIIIILAAAAAY

Billy working hard in data. Billy is a funny guy. I miss yelling out billy fung in the hall. Those were some good times

Work was pretty good today. I am back in the Queens Quay building so there is always something for me to do. As always during one of my large gaps between waiting for something to do I was on msn and my manager stumbled in on me talking to people. He is a pretty nice guy so he didn't say anything to me, but he just told my co-worker so now I won't be on msn for a while. I admit it was stupid to be on msn but if I wasn't on msn I would have been fired for sleeping on the job. As soon as I quit msn I was just staring at outlook waiting for an email or something to do. Hopefully I won't sleep be sleeping in work tomorrow.

After work I pretty much just came home and caught up on some astro boy and watched lost. Lost was amazing as always. The best way to predict what will happen in lost is make a logical guess of what will happen based on the hints they give you, then think of something completely crazy. The completely crazy idea is usually closer to what will happen then the logical flow of the show, which is why lost is amazing.

Cheryl writing something

Update:

I have changed the comment setting so now anyone should be able to leave a comment.

I believe Cheryl is writing down the university and program she is in which is what they will announce when she picks up her degree. Amy said she thought this photo was quite nice if it was a little more in focus. I think the print was a lot better then the scan though.

Another very dull day at work. Didn't really do much. There was a minor emergency during a meeting which I took care of but other then that pretty simple stuff. The day went by pretty fast. Towards the end it quickly died down. I was talking to a few people which also killed a bit of time.

After work I walked to the coach greyhound bus terminal and picked up a ticket to Kingston. This weekend I shall be heading up to queens to visit Cheryl. Hopefully she will manage to show me a good time, it will be a long 3 hour bus ride. Hopefully I will be able to make it to queens safely.

After getting the ticket I headed over to my cousins apartment to play a game of Settlers of Katan and also eat some dinner. We got food from trimurti which is always good. Settlers was also very fun. This game I did slightly better then my last game. You get points for various things in the game, I was aiming for longest road. Ramanan (my brother), kept trying to steal it from me, so towards the end it was a simple struggle to continually build more and more roads. However in the end my cousin Jana still won so it didn't really change much of anything.

Now I hope I can wake up tomorrow and get to work

Petty vandalism

I took this photo sometime in June, or maybe may. Some kids started a fire under a tree. I only managed to get a photo of tree after they had taken out the fire. I did see the fire though, it was quite big.

Pretty average day of work today. Got around to finishing another comic at work. This time I read spiderman marvel knights. This comic wasn't nearly as good as the spiderman comic I read yesterday but still okay. I can't wait to start From hell. I expect it to be as impressive as watchmen. Hopefully it won't be too gory though.

Now I must catch up on some astro boy. The anime just gets better and better, the only problem is the subtitles for my DVD's are just pathetic. Every so often they say nusance, and I have no idea what they mean. I think it means problem but I have no idea. I know for a fact they don't mean nuisance.

Lets tie people up!

I can't remember why people were tying up Justin but I'm pretty sure they were having fun by the smile on Ryan's face.

Today was a long day. Originally I was suppose to go to Eaton centre with Joanna but I later found out I had an orthodontist appointment. I didn't really do anything till after my orthodontist appointment.

After my appointment some people came by and after much debate we finally went out for dinner. We originally decided to go pizza hut but since jimmy was treating everyone it turned out to be too expensive so we moved over to pho. After pho people came back here and we played fluxx and some other game Sean had brought. Both were very fun. We also played a bit of mario kart DS which is also very good. Certain things about the game sucked though. The drifting in it is harder and if you hit a wall you are completely screwed. Everyone left around 1:30 and now I must get some sleep.

Cheryl and Salina

I took this photo again during commencement. Hopefully I will try to keep this photos as recent as possible. I think this is one of the few photos I have of salina. Kevin seems to think she has a pornstar voice. I am not too familiar with what a porn star voice sounds like, but I would have to say her voice is somewhat raspy, which is cool. I missed the day however when nelson told salina what kevin thought of her voice while kevin was in the room. Nelson is a rat, a cold hearted rat!

Today was a pretty normal day. I went in late again, its been 3 days in a row which is not good. They haven't mentioned anything so I won't worry so much. Nothing really happened today, I spent most of the day reading buddha vol 6 which was awesome. Buddha is a manga by Osamu Tezuka, he is the guy who made Astro boy. If you don't know what astro boy is I am simply shocked! Anyways this comic simply talks about buddha and his life. Tezuka follows the stories about buddha quite well but also incorporates various characters and humour wherever he can. The manga is a very well written and well drawn.

Lunch was awesome. Since I had my metropass I decided to bus down to dundas and get some popeyes. I can't wait to start going to all sorts of crazy cheap restaurants and events. This shall be a very exciting month.

After work I met up with Ryan, dano, jimmy, redford, philip, and adrian. They were at an arcade infront of eaton centre playing random games. When I got there I took adrian and ryan to a comic book store and we were looking at random comics for a good hour. I was looking at some other comics by Alan moore but couldn't find what I wanted. I was hoping to get From hell, but they only had a single issue of it. It was pretty cheap so I got it anyways. I also bought the card game flux so I will most likely be playing that a fair bit now. Ryan got 2 spiderman comics and an xmen comic, and adrian got some venom vs carnage comic.

After getting the comics we more or less headed home and got food at pizza hut. Dinner wasn't anything too special. After dinner though we came back to my place and played some fluxx. I think the guys who played seem to like it. Now I must return downstairs. I will try to update after everyone leaves.

Kings Justin Nelly

Once again another photo from commencement. I'm pretty sure nelly just snuck into the photo because he likes to ruin perfectly good photos.

Today was a great day. I finished Spiderman volume 4 and was shocked at how intense it was. Spiderman is a wicked series, its crazy to see the stories these people come up with. I can't wait for ryan to get the next volume so I can borrow it and read it.

After work (I was reading spiderman during work today) I headed out to eaton centre and walked around yonge street looking for a game store. The store is really small and I ended up missing it which sucked. After failing at finding the store I bought a biscuit then headed to my cousins place to play some board games and eat dinner.

At my cousins we played fluxx, which I probably mentioned a few days earlier, and a new game called Settlers of Katan. Settlers is an excellent game. The game was a little hard at first, but I slowly caught on. The game was really fun because it involves lots of trading and stuff, so if you don't trade you screw yourself over. The game is very fun, I can't wait to try playing it again. In the end my cousin won and then we played a few more games of fluxx then headed home.

Now a real challenge will be to get a post up before midnight tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to continue this trend of a post everyday.

The greatest smile

Su is one of the few people I see always smiling. The only other person that comes to mind who is smiling all the time is Redford. But even Redford has his bouts of being very bitter. I don't usually talk to su to much so whenever I do see her she is smiling and probably grabbing jo's ass.

Work as always was pretty boring. It turns out I forgot to lock the storage room yesterday. This was a pretty big deal because all of our computer equipment is in there. That room has boxes upon boxes of brand new unopened computers. Luckily nothing was missing and they didn't really make a big fuss about it, just told me to be careful, I was damn scared. After that I didn't really do much for a few hours so I decided to read the watchmen.

This comic is crazy. Its pretty straightforward but there are lots of things I don't really understand. I doubt I will be able to sit down and read this comic again anytime soon but hopefully by the time I finish it I will have some sort of a grasp as to wtf was going on. The comic is still quite intense and I can't wait to finish it.

After work I headed up to Eaton centre. I finally got a metropass so hopefully I will be doing a lot of exploring this month. I may even be able to get lunch with people at uft or ryerson, assuming they aren't to busy. When I got to eaton centre I walked in a few circles looking at stores and DVD's, nothing that impressive. I was mainly waiting till around 7:00 so I could head over to UFT and check out a public lecture from the person who made daily dose of imagery.

The lecture was awesome. It was very simple, it was just him talking about his photos, how he got into photography, really nothing that impressive. However just looking at some of these photos (most of which I had already seen) makes me want to take some crazy photos. Its a pain in the ass to do with a film camera because whenever I take a photo it costs me a bit of money, but I refuse to go back to my digital camera. After that lecture I will continue this trend of updating my site frequently. If you don't see a long post you will still at least see a photo. Now I must prepare for tomorrow.
