it's halloween? shit!

today is halloween, the source of enjoyment for most young children who aren't sick from the flu. the holiday where dentist seem to rake in the dough from cavities incurred through the multiple ingestion of sugar with food coloring. the one day where it is legal for children to consume titanic sized amounts of said sugar and be happy that they're parents actually condone it. that is until they reach my house.

see, i forgot to buy candy for today. actually i even forgot that it was halloween. my only reminder was the voice of a little child in front of the house with their parents as they continuously rang my doorbell. so what did i do? well, it was either run to the kitchen, look through the rotting pieces of fruit, find one that was close to edible and try to pass it off as holloween fruit. which wasn't such a bad idea, except the girlfriend and i while in a panic opted for option b.

tip toe slowly to the farthest corner of the house away from the front door and wait until the family gave up. after which peak through the window to make sure there are no people looking at the house and then turn off the lights to give the illusion that there is no one in the house hoping that there are no other trick or treaters brave enough to go out in the cold weather.

i'm a mean, mean person. please don't egg my house.

it figures...

it figures that the very first time i buy something from ebay, something happens to cause a 5 week delay in receiving mail.

embarrass my friends? never!

who says i don't post about my friends on this weblog. actually i find them very funny and entertaining. i mean, who else could spend 4 hours in bread garden sitting around, drinking coffee and generally talking about nothing. it's like a really bad filipino remake of seinfeld (oh trust me, it's probably in the works).

we all tend to have our own (extreme) quirks and personalities. for example, this last weekend a few of us went to ikea to browse around and give in to some small impulse purchases. well, some of us just don't understand the concept of 'small' and managed to walk away with a new couch.

artsy fartsy

so i have artsy fartsy pull now. i can start going to art exhibits and stare at abstract paintings, say it sucks and people might actually believe me. i'm even considering funky new glasses.

so you're (all two of you that read this website) probably wondering why i suddenly have this artsy fartsy pull. i officially started teaching at vancouver film school in their digital design program. molding the minds of new web developers everywhere err... vancouver.

i wonder if i could get a discount with their photoshop classes.
