Pictures: Pluto, wine, traffic accessories, ice photos from the gloomiest day ever Today was the greyest day I've ever seen. With the melting snow, overcast sky, salted pathways... there wasn't a colour to be seen. It was enough to depress Winnie the Pooh, or to at least show him the gloom that Eeyore experiences on a daily basis. Instead of waiting 25 minutes for the bus, I chose to walk home surrounded by the dread that is Ottawa pre-spring. Musicless, I managed to take a couple of breaks along the way to take pictures. Of the dread. They turned out so grey that I used Photoshop to help them out a little bit. Plans were to go skating tomorrow. Tomorrow is supposed to be gloomier than today, 10C and raining. On the upside of things, I'm off for the next 2 days! Disney is in less than 55 1/2 days! My sheets are a bright and cheery yellow! And Tigger is bouncing on the mug I was using earlier. Mad Men is a compelling show. It doesn't hit you hard or fast, like other dra...

Pictures: A bunch of random ones that I took with my cell phone over the summer. I often forget to dump the pictures that I take with my cell phone, and when I do, I often forget to upload them to Flickr. Well, this is part one! Disneyworld is 66 days away. Time is going so quick! However, before I can get on a place, I need to deal with assignments, midterms, presentations, and finals, not necessarily in that order. Those are the parts that I'm not looking forward to. There are three drinks that I can't see myself ever liking are coffee, wine, and beer. Last night, I decided to buy some wine just to see if maybe the "10 times" rule that Prashanta is always on about could apply. After talking to the guy at Wine Rack, I decided to try a pinot grigio , based on the fact that I was looking for something simple. It was alright in the sense that I actually managed to finish a glass (or two?). Some have already suggested that I try red wines... we'll see! If there are ...

Photos: Alanis, Chickens, Meaghan Smith and Ron Sexsmith, Pixie Hollow, Snow in October, escalator, Halloween Costume (Joe Jonas, Jonas Brothers), Pramod Dhakal, Wall-E and Eve art, someone's parcel paid in a whack of 52¢, 96¢, $1.15, and $1.60 stamps. I completed a huge project that didn't involve school. I'll reveal it very soon, as early as next week. It's pretty awesome, but still a secret. That's what I've been up to. I've also been working a lot and doing some school. Oh, and watching television shows! Stargate Atlantis, Dexter, and Pushing Daisies are impressing, and Heroes is getting pretty tricky. It makes me wish that there were two Bryan Fullers, one for Heroes and one for Daisies. And perhaps one for a new Star Trek as well. Speaking of Star Trek, someone revealed the new original Enterprise (photo) for the 2009 movie. I must say that I really like it, except for how the nacelle pylons' positions. But that's enough geek from me for one da...

The new TV season has kicked off with a pretty epic set-up for Heroes' third season, as well as a nice start to Big Bang Theory's second. I love when shows don't pick up right where they left off, but that's often hard to do when the vast majority of 'em have cliffhanger season finales. Heroes cheated a bit last year by throwing you a few months after the events of the season 1 finale, and then taking a later episode to answer 'how did they get here?" Those are perfectly exciting. I expect a similar filler this year too, at least on a couple of storylines. Up next: Dexter, Californication, Chuck, Pushing Daisies, Corner Gas, and Little Mosque on the Praries, though I have no idea when that one starts - or where I"m goig to find the time to watch all of those. Despite my crazy-expensive cable package, torrents and my PSP may become my best friends. In the meantime, I need to prepare a presentation of sorts for work. There's a staff meeting this w...

Photos: Hannah Montana mannequin, parking lot at night What a day indeed! In one mail-checking session, I received money from the government, a notice of bankruptcy and a call for objections for the sale of Disney Store by Hoop Retail, and a letter from Japan. The latter has amazingly colourfully cute stationary! It feels as if it's a letter right out of Animal Crossing, sans exotic furniture present. Oh I really want some exotic furniture! I also reinflated my purple yoga ball thinking maybe I can sit on it when I play videogames in my room. I tried it out by playing some Beautiful Katamari. Man, that game is trippy! I don't know how to roll properly, so I don't end up with big Katamari balls, leaving the King of the Cosmos pretty bummed. My room is also almost 100% tidy! I will take pictures when it's sunny. I'm out of room for DS games and cds. Uhoh! Deep Space Nine's season six In the Pale Moonlight is probably the greatest hour (well, 44 minutes) of Star Tr...

Photos could be summed up with one phrase: Again with the eye pictures! So I was thinking today about the words "once" and "ounce". They're so similar in appearance and lettering, but they sounds very different from one another. A linguist could probably tell you that the words are very dissimilar with the parts of the mouth and throat used to pronounce them, all because of one letter. Think of the difference U can make. It would be borderline remarkable if the English language didn't resemble what would result if you left a four-year old in a white room with a bucket of chocolate and a fresh set of Crayola markers. Or crayons. Happy Easter! I've managed to stuff all kinds of things into this long weekend: Smash Bros., babysitting, work, movies, and television shows. Some of these activities overlap. Weeds is a great show. I might dare to say fantastic. After watching the first season on a couple of sittings, I might have to buy it and the second season ...

Dance Dance Revolution now for Wii Night time Jack Skellington, what a stud. Jack Sparrow, Mighty Pirate Slackers with a view (without heads?) What happens if you ever eat a rotten lemon What happens if you have your birthday at Lonestar, as my manager did last weekend. That isn't her. Someone thought the escalator was sick. I hope! Mario can't come soon enough! I'm sleeping on the bus. Sleep-photography is a hidden skill of mine. Television. For the first time in a number of years, I feel like this fall has a number of interesting shows. How ironic that I don't have the time to watch any of them. It's surprising how little the tv landscape has changed, despite all the HD this and widescreen that. Sure, DVD-RW, PVR, and TiVo have just about replaced the "when I was a kid" blank videotapes (or tape over the tab if you're in dire need) - and they've certainly added some functionality - but I just don't understand why everything in 2007 isn't ...
