Good Golly! I'm psychic!

So my test did indeed take me fifteen minutes to write. Fifteen minutes exactly.

Afterwards, I hiked down to the Puralator office and picked up the package that was waiting for me. It was the shirts I ordered from Thinkgeek, the coolest damned nerdstore on the planet. Of course the hike down wasn't fun. "Why don't you walk down?" A friend asked, "It's not that far." Maybe it doesn't look that way if you saw the distance from space, but it's a pain in the ass to get there on foot.

Cool, cheap shirts though - asmyth82 8:04 PM -

Please sir, can you waste my time?

So instead of going out of town and visiting family over this holiday, what do I get to do? I thank you for asking.

I get to stay home so I can travel an hour to school to take a test that will probably take me 15 minutes. And when I say test, I mean test. Not exam. It's 100 questions, all multiple choice.

For a law class.

For those of you who don't know, I'm in Graphic Design, (hi Dusty.) There is no law in graphic design, well, save the copyright, "you stole my intellectual property" kind of law. This course is basically of the variety that I've paid them money, they think they should give me extra for it. So everyone in my course must take an elective. I got law.

This test is based on the last three chapters of the textbook. It's the fourth test and exactly like the previous three. Now I have never read, hell, I haven't even wasted my money buying the text, and I've passed all the tests. And I don't mean I've scrapped by, I mean I've done pretty well.

So I get to cancel a family get-together to take a test, on Easter Monday.

Thank you school

Watching you, watching me, watching The Price is Right

So despite the vacation from updates, a lengthy one save for the fact a number of sites linked haven't updated in months, (hi Nick), I have not been on vacation. Far from it, in fact. It's come down to the crunch project wise. Crunchy and crisp, which is also how I like my coffee. Luckily I was able to work quickly and finished the major stuff ahead of time. The only hold up had been with some of the printing due to a apparent downgrade at a printshop, (muthalovin' Kinkos,) but other than that I'm on track.

After the end of the week, I'll have a nice break before starting my new job in May. I had wondered going into the interview if I would have a problem getting more hours in the summer and lessen them in the fall, since that had been a problem in the past. Thankfully the interviewer asked: "So you're in college, so you'll probably want as many hours as you can get in the summer, right?"

I picked up a sandwich at Tim Horton's today and was repremanded by the sandwich maker that I should have asked for mustard and mayo when ordering. Screw you buddy. I'm the one paying for the damned sandwich. If I want to tell you while your making it to add mustard and mayo, you damned well do it. Hell, if I walk back in five minutes later and tell you to put mustard and mayo on my sandwich, do it. I paid for the damned thing, I'm the customer.

Seems Blogger is adding an audio option to posting now. "Introducing AudioBlogger! So, imagine this: You're driving down the road, chatting at a party, or whatever. You have a phone. You call your blog on the phone. You leave a message. The message gets instantly posted to your blog as an MP3 file for the world to listen to. Cool? "

Seems useful if you've actually deluded yourself into believing that people can't get by without hearing your opinion on everything and anything, (hi Matt.) I can't see any use for it. Now instead of people posting lyrics, they'll be singing the songs. Badly. I get enough of that watching Speaker's Corner. Yes people, the Barenaked Ladies made it big and they did the Speaker's Corner thing, but it's not going to happen to you or your friends who go down there and annoy the hell out of the TV audience doing your crappy rendition of Genie in a Bottle. The song was bad enough the first time, we don't need you skinning a cat on TV.

Where was I? Oh yeah, the audio thing. I love the line: "You're driving down the road, chatting at a party, or whatever. You have a phone. You call your blog on the phone." So now we not only have to worry about assholes yakking to friends on their cellphones when they're driving, we also have to watch out for assholes trying to think up and dictate posts to their blog. There should be a mandatory light on the top's of people's cars that lights up when they call their blog to post. When that light goes on, everybody has to try to run the jackass off the road. The person who does it gets a prize. Even better is the "chatting at a party." Is it a really boring party? Get some alcohol. Are you completely self involved? Or are you just the biggest goddamned geek on the planet? Real person interaction. I think your update about the thought you just had on Star Trek or whatever the hell you have on your bedsheets can wait for later. Though, of course, if that's the case, how the hell did you get invited to a party?

I'm employed again

The search is over. I was hired today by Best Buy.

Thank God that's over...For now - asmyth82 3:46 PM -

Stuff to do, but I don't wanna

The rush to get the hell out for the summer is on. A final project web page to finish, a poster, a brocheure, and a minor cost analysis, (or whatever the hell I can call it.) Plus a final test for an elective. Doesn't seem as busy as last year. of course I say that now, ask me again in a couple of days.

Third and final interview tomorrow for Best Buy. I may not be unemployed for much longer. Here's hoping. Of course that will mean working non stop over the break and barely getting my tuition for next year in. Deja vu, 2002.

I also recently decided to get back into ARGs. After the big ol' M crashed I stuck around the community and followed a few. But life got in the way and I didn't bother much for a while. Decided to jump back in after catching myself on numerous occasions going to websites and instead of reading them like a normal person, I'd view the source instead. Chasing the Wish is hella fun so far. Being run by Dave, that isn't surprising. Change Agents was pretty sweet and he's outdone himself on this.

Catching up on everyone's blogs. Especially the ones I've neglected to read for a while. If anybody reading this has a blog I don't know about, let me know, OK? God knows I need stuff to read.

Dazy, don't overwork yourself. School is only a part of life...until it kills you.

Let's play everyone's favourite game, How the hell did they get here?, shall we?

Just the normal stuff mostly:

"THIS LAND IS MY LAND THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND" canada song
I posted the lyrics a while ago. Stop bugging me for them. And for the love of God, stop shouting!

daoc hack
This pops up alot too. How can I put this politely? Fuck off.

tenatious D lyrics
As well as other searches involving the D. Yes they do kick it with a tasty groove. If this one shows up in the searches as much as the "this land" song, I might just post some lyrics, (that's a big if since I hate posting lyrics.)

monkey poser model
I'm damned good looking but I'm not a model. And I'm no poser!

simpsons quotes wizard's key
Everybody loves that quote for some reason. "One key to rule them all. One key to find them. One key to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them" (Because there is no known way to get out of the dungeon without the wizard's key.

ozzy i don't know mp3
I think this is the first time searching for Ozzy has led here. Though just to show you MSN searches suck royal ass, the only reason this site was listed was because my page title had the word "I" in it.

homer simpson you put the beer in the coconut and throw the can away
The second favourite. Again, I've mentioned it before and listed the damned song. Get off my back!

combustion guns
Never heard of them but they sound sweet. I'm patenting them right now! Patent pending! Patent pending! Patent pending!

the+qualifications+of+being+a+walmart+employee+are
Jeebus. I don't know. I've never worked for Walmart. Can you count? Can you smile? Can you live with yourself after having to wear an ugly blue vest day after day? Congratulations then, I assume you are more than qualified to work at Walmart. Or perhaps you want to work there to get close to:

walmart+employee+nude
You have some odd tastes their buddy. Would they be totally nude or would they still be wearing that blue vest so you could tell tehy worked at Walmart? Though I can say proudly, Yahoo brings me up as #1 on that search. I'm number 1! I'm number 1!
