Spent the day cooking today. I invited my sis for dinner, and we had roast beast in a red wine gravy, with mashed potatoes, peppery carrots and corn. Hmmmm, that was good! The apartment smelled SO good while the gravy was reducing. My roommate came back from dinner with friends and commented on the aroma in the apartment :) I also love the incense I bought from Melange Magique. It smells really nice, and isn't too obtrusive.

Someone came over to visit the apartment today. There's some decent potential there; I hope things pan out.

Tired now, going to bed.

Why is it that people call me to rent my apartment, and are all disappointed when I tell them that no, the rent isn't 570$, it's actually 1140$ and that I want roommates because the ad is in the TO SHARE section?

gahh! people are dumb, it makes my brain hurt.

U.S. prepares Afghanistan offensive: Operation Mountain Storm intensifies hunt for bin Laden

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The next round of military operations in Afghanistan will be named “Operation Mountain Storm,” U.S. defense officials said Friday. Officials have said that ground troops and aircraft are expected to move into Afghanistan's southeastern border region near Pakistan in the days and weeks ahead to conduct operations against Taliban and al Qaeda remnants believed to be operating there.

Why do I see big red bells ringing at this, especially since it's an election year in the US and dubya is getting worried that his approval rating is slipping?

*yawn*

It's the little things in life. A large pot of pasta sauce simmering away on the stove, some amber incense burning in the background, and some nice music playing in the background. Wish everyday could be like this…

Had a beer with eniran last night. We wondered why Hurleys was so packed, then we realized it was the weekend before St-Paddies. I almost died, choking on my beer, when she dropped her lighter in her pint of guiness. After that, we went to her mom's place on the south shore to check on the dogs and the one-eyed cat, where I proceeded to cook a damn good batch chicken carbonara linguine (and that's quite a feet, considering that her mom's stove is a POS :P) She dropped me off home, and I fell like a brick.

Slow day today. Went to help a friend move some furniture for his apartment this morning. Did my groceries (hence the pot of pasta sauce) and a mountain of dishes so the apartment can look presentable for potential roommates. There's a guy that's coming tomorrow, so that's a start. .

Don't know what I'll do tonight; I'm supposed to give Michel a call later.

These quotes, taken in context, are perfectly normal. That's the weird part, cause looking at them right now, they're completely fucked up

Quotes of the day:

– Yay, I get to see you down under †.
– I'd never dream of keeping your wetty ‡.

† Said to eniran who was talking about her pictures from her trip to Australia.
‡ Said to Hyde_grrl, about the fact that my mom just made her a red wetty stupid creature and that my mom would ship it to me so I could give it to her.

I finally put an ad in the Voir and the Hour to look for a roommate. It's a good deal (570$ to share a 6 1/2 with all the utilities, washer-dryer, cable and high-speed internet), and I hope I can finally put this issue to rest before the end of the month, when I have to give the renewal papers to my landlord.

I was working, when a song comes on my laptop MP3 playlist. It's the song I associate the most with ze babe. It's weird. I can't really remember exactly when she dumped me, but it's fairly close to two years now, but I still get weird moments once in a while.

Women are all evil.

Payoff from $1 million bill is forgery charge

Heres a quick tip: If you are going to try and pass off fake money, you might want to first think about using a denomination that is actually made by the U.S. Treasury Department. Ranked by officers of the Covington Police Department (CPD) as of one of biggest boneheaded moves ever, a Porterdale woman allegedly tried to pay for more than $1,600 in merchandise at the Covington Wal-Mart Friday with a $1 million bill. While using counterfeit money is a serious crime that carries stiff penalties, CPD officers interviewed couldnt help but laugh and shake their heads in amazement.

According to the report, when the clerk was handed the bogus bill, she called over store manager Marshall Hunt who immediately recognized the bill as a fake. Apparently unfazed by the setback, Pike then allegedly tried to pay for the items with two Wal-Mart gift cards that had a combined total worth of $2.32. Still $1,598 short, Pike reportedly then asked Hunt if he could cash the bill, which the manager quickly refused to do.

Counterfeiting is a generations-old practice that has become harder to detect in recent years with advances in computer design and printing technology.
In this case, however, the fake bill was easy to detect, mainly because a $1 million bill has never been produced. According to the Treasury Departments Web site, the infamous $1 million dollar was created in 1982 when a Canadian firm began to sell the note for $1 as a collectors item. In fact, the fake bill created such a stir that the Secret Service actually investigated the case as a possible threat to national security.

A threat to national security???? Give me a friggin' break! The biggest threat to US security are all the dumbasses south of the canadian border…

Some of you may already know that I have an archive of amusing comic strips here. If not, now you do. I dusted off my perl hacking skills and tweaked it a bit. Strips that I add now show up highlighted in the table, so that way, my faithful readers (snort!) will be able to quickly see new ones that tickle my fancy :D
