I Missed Kung Fu for This? (22:22 ADT, The ShanMonster)

I don't know why I'm so tired, but I feel like I'm on the verge of nodding off. I sure hope they'll relent and send me home early tonight!

I don't think it will happen, though. I've only an hour left to go.

Keep On Moving Don't Stop No! (10:45 ADT, The ShanMonster)

I'm contemplating moving to another city come January or so. Right now, I'm thinking Kitchener, since I know people there (waves at Kathryn and Zed), the university classes look really good, it looks like there are ample performance opportunities (dance, and maybe even DJing again), and I'm also close to lots of dance workshops. So I'm going to see if I can get a transfer there with my job.

The bad thing is that f00dave wouldn't be able to join me for up to a year. That sucks, but we've lived apart before and did just fine despite the distance. There's really nothing for me here in Fredericton.

But I've been sniffing around at apartments, and they look expensive--about one or two hundred dollars more than they are here. I'll have to see if my pay raise (should I be so lucky as to obtain a transfer) would be commensurable with the price of living there.

Stupid Customer Tricks Part 14gazillion (10:45 ADT, The ShanMonster)

I just got off a half-hour call with a man. Parts of it went as follows:

Silly Guest (SG): What time is checkin and checkout?

Me: Checkin is at 3, and checkout is at noon.

SG: Three at night?

Me: Er, that would be 3pm, or 3 in the afternoon.

SG: And what time is noon?

Me: ... That's twelve o'clock. Daytime.

SG: That's noon?

Me: Yes.

Anyhow, I spent approximately thirty minutes on the line with this calibre of questioning.

Share my pain.

Yet Another Link Dump (22:42 ADT, The ShanMonster)

I don't know how they built up so quickly!

Praying Mantis Vs. Hummingbird: Who do you think wins?

Guide to sex with bitches: Definitely not safe for work. Something tells me these aren't the bitches referenced in hiphop songs.

Strawberry milk sausage sales set to sizzle: It reminds me of meat Pokky or something. Eugh.

It Ain't Just Paint: A classic mug shot.

Hitler Rap: A music video of questionable taste (thanks, Balthcat).

Forehead Inflation: "Jerome Abramovitch's forehead injection was pretty much universally regarded as the wildest, freakiest thing that most Modcon attendees had ever seen... and this is coming from guys who have cut out human testicles and eaten them fresh." Check out his photography, too. He's good.

Man eats wife, chokes to death: Oh dear.

Sexy man undies: Whoa Nelly!

Mother's milk saves vet set ablaze on bus: I was hoping she'd extinguished the fire by squirting the milk out of her body, but alas, the story doesn't get quite that interesting.

today i ate a plate of big mole: Yum.

Mutant mice helping cure diseases: Go X-Mice!

Husband and wife discover they are siblings: Well, shit. That's gotta suck.

Chinese Artist Defends Fetus Artwork: "A Chinese artist who grafted the head of a human fetus onto the body of a bird has defended his work as art after a Swiss museum withdrew the piece from an exhibit."

Teens operate on dead cat, saving kittens: The most disgusting feelgood story I've ever read.

Artist's cartwheel coast campaign: "A performance artist is attempting to cartwheel from Brighton to London to highlight damage being caused to the UK's coastline." Why? Because he doesn't like people taking pebbles from the beach.

Side-Line: Awesome industrial music site I'd somehow forgotten about. I'm glad to have rediscovered it!

And now, maybe f00's through with his phonecall, and I'll be able to get back to watching my movie....

Fangirl Moment (00:07 ADT, The ShanMonster)

I totally have a crush on Covenant. That is all.
