Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Well, this is certainly interesting. My friend Rick sent me a couple of links to some guy who’s remodeled his apartment to look like Star Trek: TNG quarters. Complete with panels, transporter pad and brig. It actually looks surprisingly good, although the kitchen looks a little too dimly lit and too blue to be very functional. It does look cool though.
It is also up for sale at EBay. Now if only I could come up with $2M and get my wife to move to England…
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
That turkey yesterday was soooo good…
On the other hand, seems that our desire for big plump turkeys means we need to help them out a little to keep making big turkeys.
While writing my last blog entry, I stumbled onto an interesting website. Urban Dictionary seems to be a rather unconventional dictionary website. According to the website,
The Urban Dictionary is a slang dictionary with words contributed by users.
Most of the content I’ve seen in it so far is slang that you probably might not find in other online dictionaries like Merriam-Webster, or those stupid words that people make up by adding suffixes to the end. You can add words to the dictionary (along with your definition), or you can add definitions to other words. Some of them make for pretty funny reading.
Definitely not a site for young kids to surf to though.
Well, I guess I’m not the only one who’s getting their blog spammed by spam wankers. It’s annoying to find new comments in my blog only to discover it’s just spam. I still think they should all be shot with very large cannons.
At least now there might be a possible solution coming soon. Reading & Writing has also done some work tracing one of the more recent blog spammers.
Mmmmm, turkey‘s in the oven, cornbread (Jiffy cornbread mix and a can of corn kernels), sweet potatoes (just plain roasted) are done and there’s an ice cold 6-pack of Molson Ice in the fridge. All that remains is the gravy, dressing and macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese is half done. Just need to toss it into the oven to finish. Gotta come up with a tasty veggie dish now.
Oh, this is gonna be soooo good…
Spent most of yesterday cleaning the apartment. Boy, did it ever need cleaning. Vacuumed corners that probably hadn’t seen the business end of the vacuum cleaner since we moved in. Scary sight. But the place looks better now. Still cluttered, but clean. We just have too much junk in our apartment. One of these days, we’ll have to go through and decide what’s junk and what isn’t.
