The Quilted Cave

Ramblings from everyone's favorite quilted super-hero.

Today was a good day. It included a water park, a bar, a movie and more. It was also a very exhausting day which has left me planning to exert very little energy between now and when I go to bed.

Bart wrote this on the chalkboard for the 100th ep. Bustin got it right except with wrong episode numbers. It was ep 138 that had the big 'spectacular', not 137.

I had been planning to just half-ass this post as I've got some lounging I want to do and I plan to be up early (and as a result I also want to be to bed early). Then I noticed this is to be my 200th post on Blogger. That's a lot of posts. Unfortunately, I'm still half-assing it.

Bustin got it right on his second guess. Cred also goes to Baka for pointing out my flawed initial quoting. Kudos all around.

The weekend is upon us and I've got no more work until Saturday evening. And now, seeing as it's 4:40 AM, I shall celebrate by going to bed for some unspecified amount of time!

Hbaka actually was first to guess this one (even if he later second guessed his guess).

You know, the only negative about my place in Moncton (well aside from my not being able to have Cassie here) is the lack of windows in my room. In reality it's really a good thing since it means that if I ever end up on the overnight shift it can still seem like nighttime in my room even if it's actually noon. The downside is that it even when you are well rested and have gotten more sleep than usual, a part of your mind still feels gipped because you are getting up when it's still dark out.

When I first started living here I found I had to almost force myself out of bed because of the 'it's still dark out' factor. As time goes on, I am adapting to it but a part of me still is all 'it's dark out, you should be getting up yet'. I call this part of me 'Trevor the Slow Learner'. Well, I've never actually tried to think of a name for that part of me really. If I had I probably could come up with a better one than that.

This was a MST 3K quote from when they watched the movie Diabolik. Not surprisingly, nobody got it.

Well, Canada dodged a bullet. Harper and Co have to settle for being official opposition. Of course, the big vote is in November. That's when not just Canada but the world is up for possible further fuck-up-age. If Harper had won you could just leave the country. If Bush wins again, you're pretty much fucked no matter where you live.

I think we should start preparing for that possibility now. Anyone out there know how to build a spaceship capable of interstellar flight? Failing that some sort of sliding device would do. I'd rather be in dinosaur world or communism world or even planet's been consumed by fire world than 4 more years of Bush world.

How very true.

Work was quite busy today. And I'm pretty beat. So sleep for me.

Bustin was quite on the ball with this one.

PS - Go vote tomorrow!
Unless you're planning to vote Conservative, in which case I would like to suggest driving off a cliff as an alternative.

PPS - if you are under 18 or living outside of Canada please refrain from voting as it may cause confusion

Well that was a much busier than expected day. The original plan was for us to answer 1 or 2 calls today. Apparently someone higher up decided we had a certain number of hours we needed to be on the phone. So we started the day in pairs on the phone. One of the six in our group was sick though so I went solo. And then the support server and all the tools crashed meaning we had little or no resources with which to troubleshoot. Certainly made for an interesting first half of the shift. After lunch everything was back up and we were put on individual comps (though I already had been on an comp by myself all shift so I was fine). Answered quite a few calls on a wide array of issues. Day certainly goes by much more quickly when you're on the phones instead of in a classroom.

Also, Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter wasn't quite as good as I expected it to be but it was still well worth the staying up for. AND it took place in Ottawa. So not only did Jesus come back to help stave of a horde of vampires, he did so in our nation's capital.

Bustin was all over this one.
