Day: February 18, 2005

I hate leaving phone messages. I always feel like I'm babbling.

While I was at lunch with Katy today, it started to sink in that I won't be seeing her for a while. Considering that we've spend 2 and a half months living together in the past 5 (since last october), it's going to be hard not seeing her for a few months.

This is not making me happy.

In fact, it sucks the big sweaty ass.

Bugs Bunny and his pals are being updated for the future – way in the future.

The Warner Brothers network will take the famed Looney Tunes characters as models for a new childrens series, “Loonatics”, that will air on Saturday mornings starting this fall. The characters descendants – Buzz Bunny and the like – will be superhero action figures for the cartoon set in the year 2772.

The networks animators have re-imagined Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Wile E. Coyote as sleek new figures for a modern age.

“We all flipped for it,” David Janollari, president of the Kids WB, said this week. “We just said, Wow, what a great way to take the classic Looney Tunes franchise that has been huge with audiences for decades and bring it into the new millennium.”

Janollari said both boys and girls enjoyed the new action figures in test runs of the show. Their parents may be a little surprised, however.

“I think the legacy is intact,” he said. “If anything, its an homage to the legacy instead of a destruction of the legacy.”

IMHO, this sucks ass.

Katy and I went to the Light festival last night at Place des Arts. It was a bit disappointing. It looks nice, and I'll try and go back later next week, but last night was the only time I could go with my sweetie cause today is officially her last day in Montreal for the next little while. This is not a happy thought. So, anyway, back to the festival thingie. The big dome you see here: is usually supposed to open at 6pm for a light and music show. Unfortunately, it was only opening at 9pm last night for unknown reasons. We stayed around to watch the fireworks: but the cool lamp post seen here: was in my way for a lot of the pictures I wanted to take, poo. I'll know better if I go back.

On our way back home, we passed through Place des Arts and, while I was trying to get this picture: Some jarheads thought it funny to start heckling me (“ouah man, s't'une crisse de belle photo ca, man”), why I don't know. I could hear them in the background, but I wasn't really paying attention. So as I'm trying to fiddle with my camera settings, some long-haired idiot starts yelling and jumps in front of me to try and scare me. I was less than impressed. The amusing thing is that the dumbass did so in front of a security guard, who was also less than impressed and let him know rather vocally. It's a shame really that you can't give bad karma more pro-actively. One thing that I found amusing is that I normally am really jumpy. I mean, stupidly so. I barely flinched when the idiot lept. Go figure. Amusing moment of the night: trying ot restrain Katy from physically hurting the guy, hee hee.

That was the end of the incident, and we made it home without further drama. Slow night in, double CSI and ER then sleep. Katy impressed me with her ability to fall asleep yet still maintain semblance of consciousness. The dialogue went something like this:

R: So what's the plan for tomorrow?
K: dunno
R: Want to meet for lunch?
K: sure sure
R: You're asleep, aren't you?
K: sure
R: Your hair is on fire.
K: good good
R: I have to go walk the ham, it needs exercise.
K: ok

That's when I kissed her goodnight and went to sleep myself. We both had a less-than-ideal night. I love Katy but I could do without the snoring. I'm sleeping with earplugs but I can still hear it. I can feel it through the pillows. Hopefully, her ENT appointment when she's back in the UK will do something about it.
