January – March travels rapid fire

March 30, 2008 in Travel | No comments

So I haven’t really bothered to blog a lot of “this is what I did in real life” stuff. Mostly because my old blog was almost entirely composed of such entries, and it kinda got boring for me to constantly rehash activities. The OCD part of my brain refused to let me leave stuff out once I decided to include it, but I was too lazy to blog about events/activities immediately after they happened, so I would build up a chronological backlog of stuff I wanted to post about before I could let myself post about other stuff. And that’s too much like work.

Anyhow, ya, now if somebody expected me to blog about stuff I do, and found no such entries on my blog, they would possibly conclude that I didn’t do anything. Which would sometimes be very close to the truth. But other times it would be exactly the opposite.

So whatever, here goes a rapid fire style summary of my travels over the past 3 months for anybody who’s interested:

Stuff White People Like

March 18, 2008 in Blog | No comments

Shout out to Gobi for giving me the heads-up on this highly amusing, tongue-in-cheek blog on stuff white people like. “White” in this sense is not be confused with “redneck” white, but rather (as Gobi pointed out) with “yuppie” whiteness.

Haha, the following list highlights some of my favourites (i.e. I know they definitely apply to me):

Lol, classic.

when fools can be kings?

Frakking Cylons…

March 14, 2008 in Basketball, Random, RealLife | 1 comment

So due to issues with an “accounting system upgrade”, the bills for my cable TV/Internet weren’t being paid, and I’ve spent the past two weeks disconnected at home, untethered in the interblag, adrift in the ether. Most of that time I naively thought there was a physical service outage, as nobody bothered to tell me about the billing problem, as though I were somehow left off the list of people who deserved to be made aware of such things. Eventually the problem was fixed when I started kicking butt and taking names… er, making phone calls.

Supposedly nobody is to “blame” for this mistake, it’s just “one of those things”. Whatever. I blame the Cylons.

Oh ya, so I’ve spent most of my well-wasted, disconnected free time going through the first two seasons of BSG on DVD, in anticipation of the season 3 DVD release next week. Awesome show.

That is, when I haven’t been watching the Rockets continue their *20 game* winning streak. I think I’ve missed like maybe 2 or 3 Rockets games since I’ve been in Houston. Every other game I’ve either watched on TV or been to live. So since we haven’t had TV at home, we’ve headed out to the surprisingly-impressive “Fox Sports Grill” down at the Galleria (Albertans – think West Ed, but classier) several times in the past few weeks. By now, they pretty much recognize us by name. Hah, it’s just like Cheers :P

Haha, I have like a half-crush on the bookishly hot, late 20s manager lady who works there. In a parallel universe, a less AFC version of me actually had a conversation with her.
