came across bernard d'abrera on wikipedia. he believes all the environmental problems are due to the time and resources "wasted" on studying evolution. he is also a creationist who believes the evolution theory requires "blind religious faith".
how truly ironic.

i kicked a chipmunk today. it was chasing another chipmunk and they both ran by the entrance to the bus station, and right by my feet. since i was already walking, i ended up kicking it. (un)fortunately, other people saw them too, so i couldn't send it very far.

awesomeness
so everyone knows about my screwy eye, right? the fact that i can't really see anything with it? well, it's been twitching for the past week or so, so i finally decided to go get my eyes checked for the first time in years. did some funky test like the glaucoma one where they shot air into my eyes and had my retina photographed. it looked cool, all green and stuff. and guess what? i don't need glasses! how awesome is that? the optomitrist told me i have monovision: i use my left eye to see close things, and my right eye to see faraway stuff. and when we're all in our 40s and 50s and you suckers need bifocals or reading glasses, i won't need them. hahaha! complete awesomeness. he told me people have surgery to get monovision when they get older, but i have it naturally. apparently that's really rare, especially for the distances my eyes are set for, which is ideal. haha, and for the past couple days i've been resigned to getting glasses. was totally expecting to get them. what a relief.
got my first phone call from industry this week, and i'll be classifying their device for them. awesome. it sounds fun, and definitely a break from the boring stuff i've been doing so far. oh ya, my building got flooded last week, so didn't have to work one day. got sent home early, which was nice, but it would've been even nicer if i didn't have to get out of bed that day.
posted some pictures if you wanna check em out. i'm gonna try to be shutter-crazy while i'm here, but i keep forgetting to bring my camera with me to places.
saw pirates 3 last night. ok movie, but not that great. had some cheesy scenes, and it was a bit long, but meh. it's kinda hard for me to believe that pirates is from disney.
yay for freebies. i got expired toothpaste and a defective calculator-ruler from the health canada student orientation yesterday. nice.

asdf
what the hell....blogger's so limited on a mac....
anyways, i FINALLY got paid today. getting money is always good, especially when you have huge bills to pay off. my credit card bill is freaking ginormous. i didn't even realize i had spent that much. yarr. who knew so many things could add up?
so, although work's a little boring, i still get paid which is totally awesome.
i feel like i shohuld have more to write about, but i don't. you know me. total disjointed ramblings.
oh, internet's back up after a week. sympatico is full of fucking morons. for the first 6 days, they were telling us something was wrong with our line and it needed major repairs, yadda yadda yadda. then we call again and turns out someone mistook our account for someone else's who wasn't signed up for internet, so they just disconnected us. total dumbfucks. so now, it's all good.
running along the river is nice. it kinda reminds me of the boardwalk at sunnyside, except without the beach, geese shit and general noise and ugliness. that pretty much sums up ottawa. i always forget to take my camera with me when i need it. i gotta post some eventually.
it pains me so say it, but go sens go. bring the cup back to canada where it belongs.
i wanna be adored. great song.
total randomness....

one week
week one over. work is ok; everyone's really nice to me, and i can't even remember everyone's name still. so many people, and i don't even see them everyday. the first couple days were pretty boring. actually, until yesterday, it was pretty boring. i was just reading regulations and guidance documents. boring boring stuff. now i've started on my projects, which are updating a database and creating a guidance document. great. it's better than reading, but i'm starting to realize it's just glorified filing. whatever.
the city's actually kinda nice. a pretty little town. definitely different from t.o. with all its skyscrapers and squished buildings. lotsa open spaces here. but the us embassy is a monstrosity. friggin block of concrete defacing the skyline with its crazy paranoid security. fence, ya understandable, but what the hell do you need friggin concrete barriers along the perimeter on the road for? in ottawa of all places. crazyness.
you know what's weird? i brought up some anime and stuff to watch while in ottawa, but i haven't gotten around to it, and i don't know if i even will. now that i'm here, it seems kinda a waste to spend a night just watching something. it's strange, but i'd rather be with people, which is weird considering i generally don't like people. haha.
let's see, what else....walked around a lot, met with laura, saw the crazy cat colony behind parliament hill, walked aroud the market place, which is kinda small, and...other stuff i can't remember. oh ya, got a wristband for bluesfest.
boo sens....
oh ya, something else. groceries are friggin expensive here compared to home. it's crazy. it's gouging cause almost everyone's a freaking bureacrat. or a student who can only shop there.
robbery.

ottawa
so i'm in ottawa now. i got in friday morning, and got unpacked and everything. the place i'm in isn't too bad. the room's a little small, but i can live with it. the living room and kitchen are relatively spacious, so it's all good. today, i got my bus pass, gym membership, and just wandered around the city. more specifically, the downtown area. wandered around parliament, byward market, and along wellington in general. i saw the feral cat colony behind parliament hill too. that's some crazy shit. i only saw 2 cats, but i saw squirrels drinking from the water basins, and raccoons eating the food, all oblivious to the people just on the other side fo the fence. saw some tulips too, since the tulip festival is just starting up. most hvaen't come out yet though.
raptors lost...damn jefferson. but all that could've been avoided if the raptors learned not to get blown out and actually win some games. i expect much better resutls by this time next year.
