Well, start on my new program tomorrow, which is good, but it’s in a closed area. Not being able to take my phone in is no big deal, but I’ll miss listening to my iPod while I work.
I can take retail CDs in and listen to them on my computer at least.
Can you transfer podcasts onto CD’s and listen to them on your computer?
Nope, only retail CDs (which isn’t as limiting as you’d think, really).
Though I am considering bringing my work laptop home next weekend and transferring a few of my digital soundtracks over (Mass Effect 1 & 2 at least).
Oh fun, I’ve done that sort if thing. Here’s hoping the work’s cool.
I have a friend in New Jersey who has been following the Canucks run with me. Immediately following the loss he sent me this message.
Sorry man…I know the sting yer feeling…
He’s a serious Devils fan, and I was practically talking him off a ledge when the Devils didn’t make the cut. The sting of the lose is what he was referring to. Here is my response to him…
They played the best game they could, but the Cup goes to the best team and Boston was the clear winner. I can’t be mad about that. It was a great season of hockey to watch. It’s a rare opportunity to get to cheer for your team into June and I enjoyed it. Any disappointment I could have had for the Canucks is now placed on the inconsiderate f***s who decided to set fire to the city. Losing in the Stanley Cup finals brings no shame to the city, but the response from these few people does. I’m ashamed to live here right now. Ashamed of what I want to feel is the best city on Earth, but I can’t feel that about Vancouver right now. These people have sent a clear message to the world, and that message is that Vancouver is a city full of horrible, self entitled people, and we don’t love our city, we take it for granted, and turn on it when things don’t go our way. That’s the sting I feel right now, and I hope it’s something you haven’t or will ever experience.
I feel terrible right now. I tried to get into writing my FSL submission for this week but I can’t. Hopefully I can forget about it by tomorrow night and finish up before the deadline but right now, all I can do is stare at the half finished work and feel depressed and ashamed.
EDIT: Showered, watched a couple eps of Angel while eating leftover chinese food, and was able to power through the rest of my sbmission for this week. It was tough because I feel pretty crumby, but if I didn’t finish tonight I had little hope of getting it done for Friday since this is my last free evening till Monday.
kinda sucky, kinda not.
I’m ill, I rarely get ill and now I’ve got no energy and no motivations, oddly enough pernnfan is sick too, we seem to be in sync it sucks that she’s sick also but I suppose it’s nice we can be ill and miserable together.

on the “trying to summon up the enrgy to get off the couch, I blame my housemate on this one” ID
Yeah, it does suck being sick like this. I literally spent all day in bed except for a few hours when I went down to a family barbecue. Thankfully I had my @phazedout who, even sick, cheers me up.
So apparently when the repair guy came to fix my cable box a couple weeks ago, he slipped an extra channel package onto my account. So now, I owe half a month’s charges for channels I didn’t know I had. Plus, I’m going to have to pay the next month’s charge for it, then get it credited to me on my next bill.
Rodney popped open my computer junk drawer and chomped two cords overnight. Unfortunately, one of them was my main iPod cord. For some reason, my other spare cord is charging the iPod, but not causing the iPod to be recognized and synched.
I’ve been on the forum less due to total hard drive melt down. I also plugged my ipod in to charge on S’s computer and, even though her itunes was set not to auto-sync, my ipod got erased. Frak. So I’m behind on the forum, behind on all my podcasts, running my phone battery down like crazy listening to Pandora, and must depend on S’s kindness to use her computer sometimes at home. Meh.
Why can’t things just go smooth, last weekend I had one simple plan it was a weekend if geek goodness.
There was going to be movies and gwc and tv shows and starwars for god sake would someone please think of the starwars. That would have been have been watched loved and yes a little mocked.
But here I am at work for the 9th day in a row.
But the super weekend of geek debotchery will happen next weekend.
Keep the faith. Your weekend will come. Just wish I could share in it. Going on 6th day with family in hospital. You know you have been here too many times. When not only do you the staff’s names and yours to them. They let you get water and stuff for them on the floor.

The Ukranian government has closed the exclusion zone to guided tours. This means that in September I will be spending a full 40 hours in airports and on planes to fly to Moscow. I’ll be spending about 48 hours on trains to and from Ukraine. And I will not be going to visit Chernobyl. To me, this is like driving all the way to the GWC meetup. Waving at everyone from across a parking lot, then getting back in my car and going home. I’m sure the trip will still be fun, but I no longer have a destination to make all the hassle worth it.
So, where’s Monkey been for 9 months? What amazing adventure took her away from the wonders of the internet?
I was sectioned under the mental health act, and spent most of the 9 months in a “specialist hospital”
I did not attempt suicide I did not plan “accidental death”, I had the flu, tonsillitis and no sense of time and I accidently overdose, sadly with my history of suicidal ideation and attempts the decision was made to place me in a hospital for “observation”.
A typical observation period is pretty short, like I said, totally an accident, I was just careless, but I ended up staying in for a long time thanks to my (genetic) mothers decision to hold freedom over my head.
But it’s all sorted now, just thought I’d have a moan about it, and maybe I’ll do a happy post about some of the in-between days there. If there’s interest, otherwise it’s just a crazy chick talking to herself, which for me is gonna cause some problems 
Good to see your quirky self once again. I hope your time “resting” was at least restful. Anyway, welcome back!
Not to actually make light of mental illness and depression issues (there’s a great thread somewhere around the forum for discussing that, actually), but just to make you smile:
I once read a guide to living la vie bohemme that stressed the utility of occasional retreats to the “spa” to rest your demons and percolate your creativity. You’re not a crazy chick, you’re avant garde!
Seriously, though, glad to have you back. You were missed. Hope you’re well and enjoying getting back to the real world.
The real world has it’s positives and it’s negatives too, at least in the boobyhatch I had air conditioning! 
ooh I’d like to read that!
Has the weather been anything like what we’ve been suffering through over here in the colonies? If so, I’d say the whole thing was worth it. It’s been terrible here.
