a great many of the humblest apologies…

because i haven’t been posting in a while. I’ve been super busy, what with that job and also with playing video games and sleeping and stuff. It’s quite busy actually. I sleep in (ish) in the mornings, and leave at about 9:30, then i get home at about 6:30, leave again at 7:30 or so, and don’t get back till after midnight. Then i go to sleep and wake up again the next day. I also really should be doing more running… Not exactly sure when i’ll be doing that though. Recently i went to a comic book workshop. i learned a plethora of things about comics, but not what i went in expecting to learn, which was a little bit of a downer. ALSO, i got moved to a new pool, away from the pool with the really good kids who always came with their parents. I got moved to a far away pool, in a slightly sketchy neighbourhood, with kids who always come with their parents and probably don’t realise i exist. Which is good. They also moved my partner from my other pool, which sucks because he was a pretty cool guy. My NEW partner is quite a bit younger. He gives me quite a window on “Kids These Days”. who apparently do not know how to use a broom or mop.

I still haven’t registered for university classes yet. I’ve picked all mine out though! I’m taking all kinds of comp sci, a couple linguistics, and a math and a stats and philosophy!

I went to the Fringe Festival on Monday. I saw two shows, “The Macabre Show of Horror and Macabre-ness” and “The First Five Minutes are Slow” I liked both of them, the first was super funny, and the second was a little silly, but still enjoyable. For some reason they kind of skipped out on a scene or something at the end though, because it was like the climax of the play, then the end, with no real explaining as to what happened. :( I would recommend the shows, but as the first one’s name suggests, it’s kind of grotesque, and like i said for the second, it’s quite silly. But if you like vulgar sorts of things, or improv, you should check out these shows.

And now, i must away! for it is fast approaching bedtime, and there is much nonsense to do before then!

Busy as a bee, doing whatever it is that makes them so busy.

I’m busy, so i haven’t had time to actually blog lately. I’ve started my new job, as a wading pool supervisor! (Not a lifeguard, i’m not actually certified as one :/) It’s pretty cool, if you don’t mind hoards of children splashing you constantly with water. Today was my first day, and let me tell you, cleaning broken glass out of the pool for an hour and a half before you can fill it is no fun at all. My pool is kind of in a ghetto…

Also i’ve been playing video games. World of Warcraft, again, as well as this steam game called Super Laser Racer. Yes. it is exactly as cool as it sounds. It’s like Mario Kart meets Space Invaders at some crazy rave, and they do some things that are awesome, and questionably legal.

Tiredddd….

I finished the half marathon! It was really hot, it was like 18 when we started, at 7 in the morning. It just kept getting hotter, until it was at least 25 when i finished, in 1:32:31. I haven’t checked my friend’s times yet because the site is really really slow, because everyone is looking for their results. I got 68th overall. Next year i think i’m going to run the full marathon, cause i’m wacky and crazy like that.

I was going to write about some big adventure i had on the weekend, but wouldn’t you know it, i forgot! Yesterday i had an adventure though, so it’s ok, i’ll write about that.

First i went and biked around in the morning, then i played on the computer all morning. Then aidan came over and we went and got slurpees. then we ripped on alex’s PSP go (lol, what a noob) and how it’s vastly inferior to a DS, which costs half of what a psp does. Then we watched Auto Tune the News, cause it’s awesome. Then Safeway called and was like “HEY MAN, WHAT R U DOOIN TONITE? WANT 2 COM WERK?” and i was like “uhhh k?” and then i realised: My work uniform was 5 miles away, and i only had a bike to get to it! so i raced across town to get my uniform, and the car, and then i drove to safeway. Then i worked, and it was not horrible. Also, the marathon is on the weekend! I’m excited! I have to get up early friday to go set up though :/

Also, you should all watch The Guild. It’s a web show about these MMO-addicts, it is hilarious.

Pff… Stupid live writer having a fit about me not putting a title. what a joke

Tablet Post

It's also got a cool writing function. I'm using it right now, and you  can't even tell! Neat, huh? l'll post more once I've played with it more,

Feel the spice of life… mine is salt.

Because salt is the most boring spice i can think of. Today it was raining in the morning, and thundering and lightning-ing. Just like yesterday morning. That all blew over rather quickly, by like 10 it was done. Then it was overcast and humid all day. I went to the mall and watched people. Then i took out my clipboard and drew. Then i made notes on it and glared at people. After that i went to the Apple store (zomg!) yes, me, yes, the apple store. I looked at the iPads. I was just as disappointed with them even with my low expectations. It’s quite literally, a big iPod touch. It’s not even as big as i though it’d be, I thought it would be like the size of a sheet of paper, but it’s smaller. And the whole “gestures” thing doesn’t even work half the time. AND i sent my friend an email from it, and it didn’t even go! when i got back home, i had an email from the mail server saying “what the crap are you doing, you can’t send emails like that.” The only cool thing about the iPad is that they all had Plants vs. Zombies on it. except you can buy that game for the computer and it’s better.

THEN I went to the food court, and i ordered french fries. Then i wandered around the mall eating french fries and then i left. Then i went for a run in the park, but because of the thunderstorms, that turned into a different adventure. It was really muggy and green everywhere, kind of like the jungle, and there was a big tree that fell over and i had to climb over it! And then there were big puddles and golf carts everywhere(for the teddy bear picnic). Then i saw some of my friends biking the other way too. After all that, i got tired, so i went back home, then it started to rain. again. In fact, it’s STILL raining! It’s just about to stop though, which is good.

Also, i started using Google Chrome, instead of Firefox! It’s kind of exciting, except i haven’t figured out how to block all the ads yet, which is a hassle. instead i spent an hour-ish trying to find a good theme to use.

all work and no play makes Paul a dull boy.

Well, at least it would if i ever tried that. Something along the lines of “A little hard work never killed anyone, but why take the risk?” Strictly speaking, smelling like cold cuts at the end of the day is not the worst thing that you can smell like. Also, the whole job isn’t TOO too hard :) It’s hard to do it fast though, and they want you to be fast.

To be honest, it’s more of a “all play and no work makes Paul very bored” sort of thing actually. all i do these days is hang around and shoot the breeze.
