visiting yourself


While looking at flights back to Ontario, I accidentally put both my location and destination as Vancouver. Try it out... see how much it is to visit yourself.

Holy Cow!


This is one giant cow. He's probably a star overseas.

Caprica

People much geekier than I probably already know this but, there is a Battlestar Galactica spin off that is due out at the end of this year. From IMDb:

"Two families, the Graystones and the Adamas, live together on a peaceful planet known as Caprica, where a startling breakthrough in artificial intelligence brings about unforeseen consequences."

Another opportunity to sit in front of the TV and be involved in fiction lives; yippy!

random acts

While walking along the street, point at a stranger coming towards you while holding your hand up in anticipation for a high five. These are the possible outcomes:

1. A high five will be had, you two will go your separate ways.
2. There will be a moment of pure joy for both parties.
3. High five... then dancing.
4. They will look at you weird. You may or may not find that funny... I do.
5. It will be taken as an threat and they will run away.
6. You'll get beaten up for trying to high five another man's girl.
7. Rainbows will form and people will wear more top hats.
8. [insert your outcome here]

There are so many other possibilities! You could make someone's day!

Lilypad Cities


With all the depressing talk about global warming; this is a ray of neat, sci-fi looking hope. These Lilypad Cities are beautiful structures that may assist the world when it is flooded.

On the other hand, it may become a place for elite, rich CEOs to sit safely and laugh at all the people swimming.

F U Telus

I got a series of two text messages from Telus telling me that soon they'll be charging $0.15 for each incoming text. SERIOUSLY?! Ok, a list of reasons why this is a blood sucking way to go about things:

1) We have no choice about what texts to receive.
2) The amount of data that is transferred in a text is about 1/100th of a second.
3) When texts were introduced they cost $0.05. Now they are $0.15 to send and another $0.15 to recieve. Dang, we're almost paying a penny per letter.

I called Telus and they said I have nothing to worry about; since I'm on an older plan. Nevermind about when I have to renew and all these charges will be added. Don't worry about all the other people who are getting their cash sucked out of their pockets. Forget the fact that Telus is constantly raising their prices. They aren't after our money, they are there to serve us.

How can this be allowed? How can we let this happen? How can it possibly be stopped? I encourage everyone to at least call and complain. If you're with Telus, call 611. Its a free call...

While sleeping

Another dream post.

Walking down a wide sidewalk beside a highway there were many old shops to check out. I had left some sort of job. Only magic stores seemed to catch my eyes for some reason. I stopped at one down the way; I think I played a video game. It completely immersed me; then gave me an A for my acting. It was a silly game; I didn't stick around to listen to what the well dressed narrator had to say about my virtual skill. I walked on.

I got a call... or maybe it was a voice in my head saying that I was suppose to be at my other job. I change course and go down another street.

Everything is blank. I'm leaving a concert. I've seen them a bunch of times anyway. There was a reason for leaving. Time passed. Sitting at a picnic bench with Nick B in front of me and Pixie to my right. Nick brings up the subject of Battlestar Galactica. Apparently he's recently got into it. I'm excited to hear that and we start to talk about whats happening before I wake up.

I haven't seen Pixie, or even thought of her, for quite sometime. I wonder why she was there.

Before all this I was at a school of some sort. It's too vague to remember.

dream time

Standing a pier, shacks stood 10 meters above the water. Shiny metal walls, like ones you'd see in Africa but unweathered and unworn. The sun danced off the blue water. On top of the shacks sat a girl and her cat. I needed to talk to her so I jumped off the pier. I decided that I would be able to jump the 50 meters between us. Looking down at the water, my body felt the weightlessness of flight and soft air blowing through my hair.

I set down with ease to find that only the cat remained on the roof. Behind me, the girl was waiting on the dock, looking at me. I don't remember jumping back across. Next I knew we were on her motorcycle, driving along a dirt path along the water. A city formed around us.

Shops swooped past on either side. These roads weren't made for cars, only people and bikes. The shops lights bounced off each others windows. At some point we got off the motorcycle and were walking.

Up some steps as I begin to realize how steep this city is. As if it were build on the side of a mountain, there steps and platforms stretching in front and behind. People hustling and bustling all around. I see the girl heading down the mountain, towards the mountain.

I'm compelled to follow. There is something we still need to say. I jump after her, sliding down the railings and dashing between people. Unfortunately, I wake before we meet again.
