I read your post quickly and thought the first word from the above quote was herpes. Probably just my mind jumping to likely conclusions.

I love audible.com

I cant say I was a huge bookworm in my day - I guess growing up in a sports centred family who also don't read alot doesnt help.

But in the last few years I have been reading/listening too alot more books. I have a 2 book a month goal for myself (1 regular, 1 Audible). I just finished "Icon, the Steve Jobs Story" from Audible and "Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil" from Amazon

Both were fantastic. Crossing the Rubicon was great. I missed watching 4 Flames games in a row to finish it.

The reason pages are fictional is due to posts being deleted. At least I think that's why it happens.

I never put punctuation inside of quotes or parentheses, even though I know its wrong.

you also tend to omit apostrophes in your contractions, even though you know it is wrong.

I can't stop watching this video. As a HUGE Red Wings fan back in the 90s to watch Lemieux and Roy have their asses handed to them is great.




That and I finished watching all 90 something episodes of the Sopranos today, for the second time since october. That's about 200 hours of my life in the last 6 months.

The traffic lights went out at Sarcee and 17th today, so I'm sitting and slooowwwwwly moving up as the traffic hilariously tries to do the "four way stop" trick with the flashing red lights. Then the cops show up to direct traffic, so there's a policewoman that waves our side thru, which works well until she puts up her hand to stop us, whereupon the lady beside me (completely oblivious) plows right into the back of the car which is stopping in front of her, lifting its rear right off the ground and crumpling the crap out of the hood of her own car.

Lucky for her, there's another cop stopped RIGHT beside her (parked on the pedestrian pad) who gets a good look at this from less than 10 feet away. Haha! Busted!

Every time I see Jill Croteau do a news story on channel 7 I think of the over embellishing Spence Diamonds guy and wonder if she's making fun of him with her facial expressions while talking.

Got an interview with Cisco Friday for a design engineering position, all hope is not lost.

Threads dealing with religion bore the hell out of me. I don't know why they seem to go on forever but I can't make it through more then a couple pages of them before I completely lose all interest.

I just started watching Six Feet Under recently, mostly due to my love for Michael C. Hall. I like it so far, but I still think I like Dexter better.

So do I but just because I'm bored doesn't mean I give up on something. I watched every season of 90210. Even the horrible seasons after they finished college.

I've heard it has a really good ending! Don't spoil it though... I'm still on the first season!
