I learned something highly useful today. If you electrocute worms, they become much quicker and more blood-thirsty than your average worm. Ah, the things you learn from movies...

In other news, on the whole trying to find a job front I got a call today from Xwave (part of Aliant) wanting me to test for a Customer Support Analyst in Moncton. I applied Thursday evening and they called me today and want me to come in on Monday so I'm guessing they are looking for someone to start pretty soon.

It's definitely not the career field I'm wanting to pursue for life but A) it's full time, B) there are benefits offered (though I'm not sure what benefits yet) and C) I need money and work experience. It would also give me something to do while I work on figuring out what I'm doing with the rest of my life. Assuming that I get offered the position I'll probably take it as long as the money sufficient to justify renting a place in Moncton.

Job field in PC is less than ample so if I have to work elsewhere, I have to work elsewhere.

This, as hbaka pointed out, is said in the season 5 opener when Xander gets free from Dracula's control.

Today I FINALLY heard from Acadia about the whole masters thing. Unfortunately, it was a no go. Not really surprising considering I didn't have honours (which was a requirement). The plus side is that now I have a clearer idea of what's going on.

Basically, unless I happen to land a good job somewhere else, I'm in PC until January. In January, I may end up going to Simon-Fraser for a year (Creative Writing program). So I guess I just put more effort into job hunting and see what happens.

I'm hoping maybe now that my options are more limited my apathy level will go down and my motivation level will go up (not just with job hunting but with my writing as well).

Said by Vincent Vega to Mia in the 50s diner in Pulp Fiction. Bustin gets cred on this one. And if YOU didn't know it, shame!!!! :P

I've just had a sudden attack of apathy so instead of a post about something cool (or anything at all), I'm just doing the quotes and then going to read or something. The apathy has no apparent cause and just started so I imagine I'll be back to my more write-y self tomorrow.

I asked for the location of the remote this time. The remote was in his pocket. Baka gets the cred on this one.

Lots of stuff happened today but I'm feeling lazy so I'll just relate the most bizzare thing that happened today.

I had a dream that I was riding in my car with a random assortment of people. I was sitting in the back with my pet guinea pig "something or other Spiny". Apparently she(or he) was descended from the my first guinea pig, Cassie but in the dream Cassie was named 'Spiny' and when they descendants take her name on as their last name. They weren't born through normal means as there were only 3 offspring (from A to B to C to D kind of thing) and I remember wondering if it was safe to keep the pigs together because I still didn't know if Cassie was spayed. Anyway, everyone in the car was hearing different music and the driver explained to one of the passengers who was confused about the music that guinea pigs project an aura that make people hear what they want to hear. Just as this explanation finished, I was woken up by my alarm clock. Not exactly what I wanted to hear but still a neat coincidence.

- Caesar
This one comes from Bound which is the first movie by the Wachowski brothers. Quality film.

Quote of the Day: "Bart, this is your father. Do you know where the remote is? I looked all over the house."
Doing things a bit differently this time. Instead of just saying who the speaker is (which is fairly obvious), I also wanna know where the remote was.

Quite the gamut of things going on today. Things started off with a really weird dream. I was alternating between being a ghost and just able to see a couple other people who were ghosts. We were going to some big ceremony thing. I think it was my funeral but I'm not sure. It was all very unusual. I think I've been watching too much Dead Like Me.

Then once I was actually all awake and stuff I went outside to see if my dad needed any help seeding some grass (he was doing touch-up stuff related to all that topsoil stuff from yesterday). It turned out he was basically finished when I got up but he asked me to use the hose to get all the mud out of the seeders (and their tires). To get the mud off, you need a lot of pressure which means you have to stand fairly close. Suffice to say I was rather cold, wet and muddy when it was over.

After that I spent the next 10 hours mostly lying on the couch watching Angel. It was a very good marathon with no 'how the hell did that make the list' choices. There were even a couple episodes I hadn't seen so it was quite a relaxing way to spend the majority of my day (even if it was a bit rough on the eyes).

The astute reader may have noticed I watched 10 hours of Angel and not the full 12 hours of the marathon. That's because I spent a couple hours talking to Granger on the phone while the rest of it was taped. Had a good conversation about a variety of things.

Then, since I obviously hadn't seen enough yet I put the TV on and watched Unscrewed and RAW (still watching RAW as we speak). Not watching nearly as intently as I was watching Angel (spending a lot of time on the comp) but still lots of TV today. I'll probably be topping my day off with the next 45 mins of the TV thing then get some sweet, sweet slumber.

Quote of the YesterDay: "When I held that gun in my hand, I felt a surge of power... like God must feel when he's holding a gun."
This one comes from the Homer gets a gun episode and is said near the end of the ep when Marge finds out Homer still has his gun. Baka guessed the ep but then Bustin provided more info so I guess they both kinda got it this time.

A bit obscure this time but I have confidence in my legions of fans. :P

Pretty tired out tonight. The last couple of nights I've been up till 4-4:30ish and not able to sleep in as long as I'd like (esp today when I was woken for a 45 min stretch at 8:15 when Heidi went out and stayed out (Nobody else was up yet so I had to stay up to let her back in) and then I had to get up at 10:30 to shovel top soil for a couple fun-filled hours). As such, this will be one of those short type posts. I'm not actually going to bed just yet or anything (probably be at least another hour or two) but I want to get this out of the way and do the couch thing.

Oh, one good thing about being woken by the dog is that I found out that Batman IS still on Showcase Action. I wasn't sure as it wasn't on during the old timeslot. They show at least 2 eps a week, possibly more. I should really check on the website at some point to see when it's on so I don't have to miss any of them.

Tomorrow should be a pretty rough day. I have to make sure I'm up by noon so I don't miss any of the Angel marathon. Rough, I tell you! :P

Quote of the YesterDay: "She's out of control! You win again gravity!"
This one's from the Futurama episode "Amazon Women in the Mood" (the snuh-snuh ep). Brannigan says it as he crashes the restraunt/ship. Surprisingly nobody got it despite being from one of the more popular episodes.

Went to the good gym today (i.e. the New Glasgow Y). I can't usually get there with my sister working in Truro (well, not really working. More like paying Dal so she can work. It's like working but it costs you money. Fun fun) and my not having much in the way of income to pay for gas monies I'm usually stuck with going to the Pictou Y. While it may be fun to stay at, it's much smaller than the NG one.

It was kind of a mixed blessing deal to get to go to the New Glasgow Y today as they've added additional weight and cardio machines meaning they have even more work-out options that the Pictou facilities are lacking. Today was a leg day and they've got a bunch of leg related machines. The Pictou one has machines to work pretty much all the upper body stuff (even if the selection's not as great) but they've only got stuff for the quads and the hamstrings when it comes to lower body. The NG gym has stuff for glutes, calves, etc which you just can't get in Pictou. Ah well.

In the let's all have a laugh department, the world's greatest threat to global peace fell off of his bike today suffering minor injuries. No word yet on how Bush's is going to blame this on Iraq.

The Professor says this when talking on the phone in the episode where Fry and Bender are looking for an apartment. This is how he finds out there's a place available for them.
