Still Laughing

I cannot believe I watched this home spun Firefox ad three times. But it made me laugh so I share it with you.

FiTC Over For Another Year

Oh god, once again I've completely ravaged my system by attending FlashintheCan, commonly referred to as FiTC. And by attending I mean partying too much. After sending in the obligatory "I don't feel well" email, I realized the only flash guy at my office is out til thursday, so I actually needed to come in. Which I did. So here I sit, hungover, exhausted and generally rundown.

Oh yeah, and Libs and I got a 2006 X Trail LE on Saturday.

I have a couple of pictures on my phone to upload of both FiTC-related and vehicle-related types, but will need to do that at home since this computer hasn't any bluetooth.

Baby, You Mean The World Of Warcraft To Me

As some people might recall, I bought World of Warcraft last summer. Much to my girlfriend's chagrin, I'm still playing it. Finally, the Onion figured it out.

And here's a little photoshop for you, because I don't want to post without an image.

It's a Boy!

Libs just got the call from the midwife telling us definitively that she is carrying a boy. Booyah!

Ikea's Naming Is Over The Top

If you don't see it right away, just be patient.

A Ray of Sunshine

This morning Libs and I went to have another ultrasound. The little bugger's coming along nicely (from what I could see). The technician is not allowed to state what the gender is (even if they can plainly recognize the plumbing). I'm not sure why, maybe it's because even pro's can make a mistake and nothing would be worse than a father pulling a Homer with all the little boy sports paraphenalia and finiding out it's a girl. That said, I'm almost positive I saw a boy's "bits". And when I said as much, I wasn't corrected. Libs saw what I saw, but neither of us are making any 100% assumptions until the midwife says what it is definitively.

My ray of sunshine (if a baby with all its limbs attached isn't enough) is that when I got into work, I parked (my motorcycle) on a pretty busy street. I asked a coworker who rides where she parks and she said nearby. I asked her what she does for parking tickets and she told me that a law was passed last year that gave motorcycles free parking in TO! Well, holy moley!

Here's a list of links I've uncovered and been handed;

Very very cool. I've been dutifully paying for the little parking thing. If I don't have to, I'm pleased as punch. I may be effed today tho, since I put the ticket under my seat strap for the guy to see, but I may not be. Who knows? Well, I will when I leave work, but except for that...

It's Raining Today

This morning on my walk from the streetcar to the office I was passed by a guy with an umbrella. His head was obscured for a few moments when he first passed and I kinda thought, "Pussy. It's just rain." Then the umbrella tilted and I could see his head. HE WAS BALD!

How futile can you get? He's not even protecting a hairstyle. I should point out that I almost always have my head shaved, so it's not like I don't know what he's living with.

Mortgage Part Deux

Well, the house is ours as long as the mortgage is approved. Our mortgage broker called our real estate agent and said we were approved, but we went through the forms last night and found "discrepancies".

So now we're stressed out and only feel marginally closer to finalizing all this crap. Once we are approved *fingers crossed* we move on to the lawyer. Another expense, another stress. I assume this never ends. Oh boy...

Mortgage Freakout

Holy crap!

In case a new job, baby on the way and having to get a new car aren't enough, we made an offer on a house!

Sweet mother of pearl.
