I read Playboy for the same reason I read National Geographic. To see the sights I'm never going to visit.

So the first coat of primer went on the walls of the breakfast nook. The upper walls will be fairly straightforward to paint, but the bottom sections I see being a serious pain in the ass. I think it's going to take at least 3 coats, as the walls are textured and the paint isn't covering a lot. Oh well, it's going to look kick ass when it's done :)

*biiiiig siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

Finally, I'm home in my kimono with some food in my stomach. I feel like I've been running around all friggin day and got no real work done. I did, but it doesn't feel like it.

Day started off with me waking up late – again – as I'm not sleeping well these days. Too much on my mind. Money will be really tight in the next few weeks, as I have a ton of stuff to pay off and/or buy, so the fuckups the BNC is doing with my account really isn't helping me right now.

Got to work, where the stress test I was running on my dad's new computer failed. Found out it was a simple problem, so that's good news at least. All the major components are working fine, and all the software is installed. Now I just need to get a working mouse and keyboard, and he's all set.

Work day was meh. Got some actual coding work done, which is always nice. I feel like we're finally working towards a product, so that's good news.

I really needed to unwind after work, so I went to have a quick pint with eniran. Man, I know it's Grand Prix weekend and all, but holy jeebus, could there be more people downtown??? It took forever for her to get a damned plate of chicken wings (which really made me jones for some, as I haven't had any in ages – I'll try my hand at making some this weekend – hope I don't burn down my kitchen). After Hurleys, we went to Canadian Tire to pick up some painting supplies I need to repaint my kitchen. Got paint, a roller brush and some tape. (Only to realize when I got home that my sister has my roller handle and paintbrushes. DAMN!)

Finally, I had to stop at the office to pick up my dad's computer. Could you believe it took us 30 fucking minutes just to deal with traffic? Did I mention there's a shitload of drunken, overdressed, stupid people downtown?

Anyway, I'm home now and I'm cooking some food. It's at times like this when I really resent my allergies, as I'd love to just be able to order up a pizza. Sigh, enough bitching for now. Goodnight all.

Ray Charles, the Grammy-winning crooner who blended gospel and blues in such crowd-pleasers as “What'd I Say” and heartfelt ballads like “Georgia on My Mind,” died Thursday, a spokesman said. He was 73.

Blind by age 7 and an orphan at 15, Charles spent his life shattering any notion of musical boundaries and defying easy definition. A gifted pianist and saxophonist, he dabbled in country, jazz, big band and blues, and put his stamp on it all with a deep, warm voice roughened by heartbreak from a hardscrabble childhood in the segregated South.

Bunch of incompetent fucks. These are people that cannot find their ass with both hands and a map.

They've managed to screw up my loan payments YET AGAIN, and this time my rent check bounced like a superball, making my roommate unhappy and blemishing my credit history.

ahem, can everybody hear me? yes? good.

The National Bank of Canada is run by a bunch of poo-flinging monkeys that can't tell dick from elbow!

thank you, that is all.

Jaysus!

Get an email from my boss yesterday, telling me we have a meeting with a few developers for an upcoming project today at 12:30. I figure ok, nothing too bad.

The fucking thing lasted 4 hours.

FOUR HOURS!!!

Nonstop. My brain is officially fried. For the last hour and a half, I was watching people's lips move, and hearing wonkwonkwonkwonkwonk (sound like Charlie Brown's parents).

I need a drink.

Just got a phone call out of the blue. It's my mom, telling me she misses me and she loves me. Teehee :D

Tonight was a fun night, and it really hit the spot. eniran picked me up after work and, after a quick hop at my place to get some pasta sauce goodness, we headed over to her mum's place so I could cook dinner for the two sarcastabitches. Her mum is a blast, I love her :D

Made lasagna and some muffins (so good!), which were all well received (yay!). After dinner, we went to see Shrek 2. It's a GREAT movie. I need to see it again. That movie spoofs everything of note in the last 10 years, from Flashdance to the Little Mermaid. Most excellent. I'm certain that I missed a ton of gags, just because there's so many of them, and they go by so quickly.

Now I'm back home, and I'm going to read a bit before going to bed. Maybe have a muffin… yes, that definitively has potential :D

BUDAPEST (Reuters) – “Boys, if you vote for the liberals, I'll strip,” a girl in jeans and a revealing shirt teases Hungarian voters in a mock advert for the European elections. It was filmed for a joke during the shooting of the liberal Free Democrats official broadcast, in which the girl features, campaign coordinator Gabor Horn told Hungarian news portal index.hu.

The Web site has posted the seven-second clip at www.index.hu/cikkepek/0406/szdsz.mpa.

The short ad is a lighter moment in an increasingly bitter campaign for the June 13 elections in which the ruling party Socialists and opposition Fidesz sling mud at each other.
