I Shouldn't Like April Fool's This Much

Well, that was my April Fools Day attempt for this year... I hope you liked it. Tune in next year when I'll announce that the NHL and NHLPA have reached an agreement... of course, it'll all be a big lie.

I've Bought My New Car!

So, I may have mentioned I wanted to buy a Jeep recently. Well, I'm sorry to say that it's all a lie... well, more of a red herring, if you will. I've actually had my eye on this, a 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid. So, I've been going around checking out dealerships and earlier this week (Monday, to be exact), I actually made the purchase, and it finally gets in my hands Friday afternoon!

Let me tell you, this thing is awesome! Beside the excellent milage it'll get by being a hybrid, I ordered all the options: Premium Sound System, Leather Comfort Group, GPS Graphical Navigation... you're jealous, aren't you? It came down to a decision between this and the Honda CRV... and as we all know, Honda is evil. Besides, my girlfriend liked the Escape better, and I agreed. (trust me you'll meet her in due time)

Anyway, I hope you'll all get taken for a ride. 

Hurrah for Customising!

Check out the screenshot above. I saw this on Call For Help last night. It's a plugin for the Firefox browser to put a weather forecast right in your toolbar. Just my newest reason I love Firefox. If you have Firefox, you can get this here, because all the cool kids have it. 

Lent Scoreboard: Matt - 3, Willpower - somewhere around there

So, like others, I did some "Lenting" these past 46 days. My goals were: No greasy fast food (but things like Pitas and the good subs at Subway were allright), no pizza, and no chicken wings. Basically, I cheated a bit on each....

I was pretty good with the No Fast Food resolution, as I didn't actually go out to buy it. The only slip up was when I did some Wendy's drive-thru for Jessica and Josh. I drove through, but didn't order anything for myself.... however, I stole some french fries.

The pizza went not bad either, which I should consider a victory, since pizza is my favourite food. But anyway, like fast food, I never ordered pizza on my own. The only time I had pizza was the frozen stick-in-the-oven kind, which I only had because that's what was for dinner when I was visiting home for a weekend... twice.

The chicken wings went good too... Basically I wanted to stay away from the deep fried bad wings that you get at pubs, which I did. However, a couple times I had wings from the barbeque, which really aren't in the same catagory.

So, my final grade is probably somewhere around a C. Sure, why not?

I Got The Call

Yippie! I got to go curling tonight! I spared on my boss's Thursday night rec league team. I was relegated to playing lead, but that's ok, because I was just glad to be out there. I've only been curling once in the last seven years, so I thought I'd be a bit rusty... not so much, as I got into it again pretty quickly, which was surprising since as a lead I mostly threw draws, and those were never my strong suit. And to top it all off, we won 7-6. And the good news keeps on coming, as it looks like I'll be playing on their team next season. Finally, something to do besides my usual nothing.

What Are You Talking About

ok, now to reveal my cryptic message of earlier in the evening... It's about 1:00am now, and I'm just heading to bed now. Earlier, I thought it could have turned out to be another allnighter, but I got lucky this time. I kinda wish I had a life so I could legitimately say "No, I'm not working that much for you!"... kinda.

Anyway, with regards to recent inquiries by a certain individual.... you'll just have to see how many swear it takes to get you "Edited by Siteowner". Good Luck to All!

Here I Go Again

...don't ask. I'll fill you in later. Hopefully not too much later, if you know what I mean.

I've Been To The Future.... It Looks Like Next Week

So, after my epic story from last week, ending with my desire to have a time machine.... I decided to go out and buy one. I got a good deal on a used Delorean with the Time Travel option package. So, I set it for the future! So, I've arrived safely here in the future now... Did I miss anything important?

The Moral Of The Story

So, as I'll be approaching 37 hours straight awake by the time I get to bed tonight, I figured I'd give everyone the moral of the story....


I need a time machine.

It's done...

9am now... I'm finally finished work for the day... well for the yesterday, but now I'm an hour late for work today.
