Frozen dinner takes too long to cook! My mother left a frozen macaroni and cheese for tonights dinner. I took it out around 5pm to thaw, but now, even after 20 minute of microwaving on defrost, and being in the toaster oven for 20 minutes, it is still partly frozen.
Bah! When the toaster oven stops in 10 minutes, I'll microwave it on high. I'm hungry now!

I realize that i've said nothing of actual content for the last few days. Since Wednesday last week in fact. I dunno why, but somethings have been conspiring to get me to work really hard, and then life has just been dragging along.
I'm sitting in my classroom now, waiting for the programming class to start. Playing "Sarah McLachlan - Mirrorball\08 - The Path of Thorns" on a pair of speakers I found somebody left here. Last week, Wednesday night and Thursday night, I got very little sleep. 2 ½ hours each night to be exact. That was just due to large amounts of homework. I had to write a long business paper, do stuff for my art class, and write a Java applet for programming.
It wasn't that the work was hard, it is just that it is quite time consuming. And there was something nasty with the Java, that an entire package class doesn't work in Internet Explorer. Stupid Microsoft JVM.
On Thursday evening, going home, I met up with Marissa, she got a new big coat, and we caught the bus home. Her 135 later stalled on the way up the mountain, but you can read about that in her journal.
I spent Friday afternoon with her, and had a nice little nap ;-). Saturday was spent on homework again.
Sunday, I went downtown to film stuff for my art class. Marissa came with, hanging out and being an equipment gaffer, for lack of anything else to do. Tara was a great help, as our main actor. She had red hair, so it worked well with her as Lola. I didn't know beforehand that she had professional acting training, so that ended up being a plus. Filmed stuff in Yaletown, Gastown, along the seawall, and near the CBC.
Yesterday, I managed to catch up on a lot more sleep, and then spent time programming an assignment for Jon, before doing my next programming assignment, and the usual postings for HTTC.

I got up around 10.30am this morning. Feeling not wonderful. I think I'm coming down with the flu more definetly. I helped my mother with her crossword, filled a letter to complete the name of a tie and an indian tribe (BOLO and OLMECA). Since then, I've been working on my homework. The business assignment was the main thing, and I got that about 90 minutes ago, and now I've just finished the math work. I still need to do the art homework for tommorow, and I must prepare for a meeting with the manager of ET&L at TechBC and his senior sysadmin tommorow.
On that last bit, to stop me having to search for it, could somebody provide me with a javascript oneliner to open a new window with a given URL? I don't care about the dimensions of the window or anything, I just need it to load up a page automatically, but if the window is hidden, it would be better. Also, could I have the JS to check that the page is finished loading, and then close that window? Thanks in advance.
There is something more complex with JavaScript I would like, but it can wait. I want a bit of JS that can parse the contents of an existing frame and extract a set of URLs from it, that match a certain pattern.
I'm going to grab something to drink, and then make a start on the art work. If anybody has a good site with lots of pictures of city streets from various angles, please point me to it.
Well Ah do declare, Sugah! Looks like you're everyone's favourite Southern Belle: Rogue. You're beautiful, charming and tough as nails, but you've got a romantic streak as wide as the white in your hair. Yup, it appears you've got it all, except for the fact that you have to keep people at arm's length all the time and then angst about it incessantly.
I just had dinner. Beef Chilli with beans. It was nice and spicy, but I could hardly taste it. I seem to be coming down with a flu, which would also explain why I feel really tired now.
I'm listening to Marissa's "The Beach" CD again now, with the volume turned well up. Track 6 - Sugar Ray - Spinning Away, is really good, it has a nice ambience to the background instruments, with some good guitar and violin finger.
I'm really tired, so I am only going to see about doing my postings for HTTC, and then going to bed. I will have to do the business critqué, the 6 images for NMI, and the math homework tommorow. I wanted to see Marissa, but I just have too much dang work.
My left foot has been sore for a long time now, and I still can't figure out why. It's mainly when I step on the front ball of the foot that it really hurts, like somebody is steppping on my foot, from underneath.
I'm eating seafoam candy. What is that you ask? It's the stuff they put in Crunchies. I'm going to make a start on my large pile of homework now.
I had the usual trudge on transit this morning, but today, I was going down Holdom towards the stop on lougheed, and I see a bus go past, so I run to the stop. I manage to get there, and knock on his window, but he just pulls off, and I get to wait 10 minutes. The next bus came, I got to brentwood, and took the 123 down to new west to catch the skytrain.
On the way down, I listened to most of The Beach soundtrack, and I've been listening to the Run Lola Run soundtrack this morning.
Oh yah, I've been typing all this up on my laptop, using a wireless lan connection, sitting in the middle of the room 8-)
I had an interesting day. Woke up early around 8am, couldn't get back to sleep because of my brother. Got up at 8.30am, tried to call SkyTrain lost property to see about my star wars touque and my ActiveState umbrella. I get a busy signal, repeatedly.
Wandered around the web, did some email. Went out around 11.30am to meet up with Yvonne. We had planned to eat lunch at the new indian place on Hastings and willingdon, 'Mother India'. But the place was deserted today, even tho they said they would be open. Carried on downtown on the next bus.
Yvonne needed to move some money between her accounts, to make sure there was money on her credit card. On the way to the bank, she saw a sign for a japanese lingerie store. At the bank, Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me was playing, w00t! After we went to the bank, we swung back to the store for her to have a look. They only sell clothes, no toys, and only one hello kitty item in the store.
Grabbed the skytrain to go to stadium, to see the skytrain lost property people. No sign of either my star wars touque which was purchased in Montreal as part of my first winter gear when I moved here to Canada, OR my ActiveState golf umbrella, which I won in a business card draw at a business party.
I shall have to see if they have more umbrellas! I don't want to fork out the money for another big golf umbrella.
After that, we were wandering around downtown, looking for the place that I had shwarmas at before, but I couldn't find the place, so we ended up eating a vegetarian meal at Urban Monk. I had a burger and salad, and Yvonne had angel hair pasta with a tofu marinara sauce. Both meals were really really good. I could barely tell the difference in the burger's taste, but the texture needs a bit of work still. The green tea and apple Sobe I had to drink was also really nice, I hadn't had any Sobe before.
We skytrained back to Metro, and parted ways, as she needed to shop for somebody's belated birthday gift.
In between doing homework, Jon came to visit me, and got 3D Studio MAX R4 from me, in return for Visual Studio .NET. He also brought me his old Volcano 7 fan since he replaced it, I'm going to try it out on my system in a bit, and if it's quieter and cooler than my current one, then I'll buy it from him.
My father offered to buy me a new chair to use at the computer, and a floor mat at the same time, so I went out to get the stuff around 5.30pm. He went to several liquor stores first, looking for lemon cello, but there seems to be none to be had in the lower mainland. Went to staples, only to find they closed early today for some reason. Went to the Office Depot Jon works at instead, bought 60"x46" chairmat and a new chair. I've cut the chairmat in half, my father has half, and I have the other half. Works really well that way. my new chair is really comfortable.
