Good news, looks like D is going to be a big sister. When this five year old tyke was asked what she would like a brother to be named her first answer was “Money” and her second was “Dufus”. At least she was kind to a potential sister and chose “Princess”.

¡Hola Carolina! ¡Hola Ernesto!

porque le falta

una pata para andar
la cucaracha la cucaracha
ya no puede caminar

I met someone quite interesting last night. Well I can’t say met, since I met her before but I never really spoke to her before last night.

I’m becoming more comfortable with my instincts and this person makes me feel comfortable sharing them. I have the feeling that she and I are supposed to become friends for a period of time and that I am to learn something from her, something important that will change me and possibly my perceptions. She shared some pretty radical stuff (no, not drugs, I don’t do that stuff) I mean infromation that while I can’t say I totally understand and accept what she told me I am always open to the possibility.

My problem is I am so rooted in a life of technology and 9 to 5 and debt and responsibility that it’s hard to see the magic (yes, I mean real magic here). I need to get back to the way I used to be, no, that’s not right, what I need to do is to find a way to integrate them harmoniously. I need to believe more.

Finger puppets are evil. No, not the classic old sock puppet. They’re just socks after all. The kind made by giant “toy” corporations with little tiny microchips implanted in their beady little eyes. Forget aliens from space trying to spy on your thoughts, the real trouble is right here on earth.

Brain fizzles as I resort to flinging elastics at my co-workers coffee trying to spill it. Retaliation. He wings a good one at my plants. Oh he is so dead. You hear that CoWorker #1! You are dead!!!!! *evil maniacal laughter*

Wow, I can’t believe how long it has been since I wrote in here. I have been so busy with various projects, mostly web stuff. I do have something fun to offer though. I have added some Madlibs to my web site. If you want to play you can find them at:

Have a splendidly spectacular day!

Who knew that moving into the IT department I would have LESS time to abuse my computer privledges. Geewhaaa!?!!? I wonder if there is a rehab for people going through withdrawl symptoms from the Internet. I’ll just have to take up drinking espresso by the potful.

I just came up with a great idea for some photos for my web site. But you know what, you are just gonna have to wait and see what it is.

*looks around to make sure no one is trying to read her mind and steal the idea*

Another memory popped into mind today, quite funny actually but it might be one of those “you had to be there” type dealies. Anyway, I used to make my own postcards to send to my friends in college and university. I would take things like condom boxes or tampon boxes and cut out one of the sides and put silly (or pervy, depending on the occassion and my mood) messages etc on the blank side and then stamp & address them and send them. The Canadian postal system will deliver just about anything so long as it has a stamp and address.

I got some good news today. I applied for a temp position in our IT division as a support technician and got the job. The guy I am replacing is on parental leave for about three months so I will be filling in for him although it means less time at my desk abusing the Internet access. There’s always a catch…

I thought about this a couple of days ago after posting a comment in someones journal (sorry it wasn’t nacho cheese it was cool ranch, old age fogs the memory) and ever since I have been having the strongest craving.

Plain bagel, plain cream cheese with Cool Ranch Doritos. Not on the side or after you eat the bagel, I mean on the bagel, a Cool Ranch Dorito and cream cheese bagel sandwich. I used to eat this in high school, much yummier than it sounds. Really. Go on, try it.
