One of Phil's prof's, Keith Fagnou, died yesterday. The rumor is that he died from H1N1 complications. I had attended one of his Organic Chemistry lectures and he was a wonderful lecturer (for some reason, the University of Ottawa has some GREAT young chemistry profs). He was a big asset to the university being very bilingual, BRILLIANT (he won the Polanyi Prize and got tenure) and quite young he had a very promising career ahead of him. Very sad. ------------------------------------------- Now for the lighter side of things. I guess the most exciting news is that I am thinking heavily on moving in May, after I am done exams. I am tired of living in a room and having my "kitchen" so close to my bed. This isn't because I am trying to escape ghosts of abusive boyfriends past or anything like that. Everyone at work has been buying houses and I have visions of a "living room" dancing though my head. More to come... Got more plastic junk yesterday: Orange and Indigo Lantern rings. 4 down (black, yellow, orange, indigo), 4 to go (blue, violet, red and green). Mine...mine...mine...mine... Links:
Apparently Journalism becoming is a very unstable career pretty quickly. Geoff Johns to write two hour Justice Society "Smallville" movie. One day I expect to see the headline "Geoff Johns fires all DC writers and single-handedly pens all the DC titles." Is there anything he ISN'T writing? Okay, there is Batman and Robin...and Batman...and JL...and...but you know what I mean. Also, Gail Simone says she is writing a "Brave and the Bold" episode...hmmm... |

Because it's the privilege of my generation that, perhaps until just very recently, for most of us the word 'veteran' has always been synonymous with 'elderly'.(If you would like one of your own, I have extras here. Three are specifically Canadian, one is specifically American, two are of the Menin Gate Memorial at Ypres, and four are generic.) |

Some days I miss liking anime. I just find it really hard to sit down and watch it when there is just so many AMAZING shows on television. Not to mention, having been an animator, a lot of it becomes painful to watch. :S They warned me it would ruin anime. It did. That being said, there are a few "old titles" I still watch and could potentially get into a new series but I am picky and bitter. :P ...feel free to make suggestions. Not "Naruto" or "Death Note." :S (This was inspired by a post by Spate. Spate: "11 Eyes" that good?) That being said, I did download the first episode of the second season of "Legend of the Seeker." XD |

First of all - Lisa - I emailed you. :D SO PROUD. Took over an hour to write so please enjoy. :) I have the power to instill great fear. Well not really. But I got my Sinestro Corps ring! Two down, six to go. While it is great for you ppl with big hands, these are loose even on my thumbs. Am trying to come up with some way to display the rings. Realistically, I need a new place. I keep dreaming of moving into something with a living room to house my beloved stuff. I. Am. Not. A. Minimalist. Two more years at least. Bleh. My "weekend" was very low key. Went to bed before 10 the past 4 days. Halloween took the last bit of energy out of me. Will be going to bed early tonight too. Been "marathoning" through Doctor Who (halfway through season 4) so Phil can watch "Waters of Mars" with me this Sunday (looks pretty freaking sweat. I can't wait for the return of the Master in the subsequent specials :D :D - Also Timothy Dalton in Doctor Who? Tee heee...). Still a freaking awesome series. Not looking forward to the cast change. I will give it a chance obviously. Despite it being very draining (fell asleep on Phil's floor after my shift) I have fun at Tiggywinkles. Worked 7 hours on Sunday, learned more about our products (where things are made and about concerns parents have regarding toys, like what the paint is made out of), played with the kids and resisted urges to use the 30% employee discount. :S I wore a yellow creepy-crawler on my shoulder (we are very encouraged to play with the toys while working) and when my manager asked me about my "friend" I responded, "That's George. It's a girl." She seemed to like that response and asked me to switch colours when all the yellow ones sold. :P I am sure I will have lots of time to get sick of the job but right now it's fun despite it sapping all the energy I have. :) |

Ummm. My roommate is trying to make me cookies. 'Trying' being the operative word, here. I mean. It's really nice of him and everything, but. Ummmm. There's splatter and flour all over the kitchen, and last I checked he was trying to "get the dough off the thing" by tilting the mixer at a ninety-degree angle above the bowl and vaguely shielding it with his hand, sending a spray all the way across the room to the sink. ("WHY are you DOING that?!" "Is there another way to do it?" "gfhdkjghksfdjhgl OH GOD." "STOP LOOKING AT ME WITH THAT TONE.") And then he went over to the stove. Where there was a frying pan (????). I hope he doesn't wind up setting anything on fire, that's all I can say. EDIT: "Are they supposed to puff up like that?"
"I don't know! I don't even know what the hell you're MAKING!" |

 First iPhone worm discovered Apple iPhone owners in Australia have reported that their smartphones have been infected by a worm that has changed their wallpaper to an image of 1980s pop crooner Rick Astley. Once in place, the worm appears to attempt to find other iPhones on the mobile phone network that are similarly vulnerable, and installs itself again On each installation, the worm - written by a hacker calling themselves "ikex" - changes the lock background wallpaper to an image of Rick Astley with the message: "ikee is never going to give you up".
