We own furniture

OK well we do own stuff already but we just bought new furniture together. We wanted a new couch for a long time as everyone says that when you sit on our futon for too long your ass goes numb.

Well that problem should be no more. We went to the Brick and found a new couch, paid for it and come Thursday noon it will be in our living room.

Here's a picture of it:

As you can see it's black and it's a fake leather. Otherwise known as PVC. It should wear nicely and since I don't have a large bottom I shouldn't make a grove in it.

I'll get a picture of it once it's in the living room so you can see how nice it makes everything else looks...Time to go to class for the night.

And according to the 5 comments I have it must mean that I have more than 1 friend who reads this. Woo Hoo!

So are you Stupid?

I think a lot of people are stupid. For those of you who think you are smart check this link out.





Oh and make sure to comment to me on what your score is....If only Zack replies it also means that I only have one friend (but that is not what we are testing here is it?)

Election

Since today is our Federal Election I thought I would post a joke. We all know how big a joke elections are...


While vacationing on a ranch, Paul Martin gets thrown from his horse,
lands on a rattlesnake, gets bitten and dies because the emergency
room at the nearest hospital is too understaffed to treat him in time.
So his soul arrives in Heaven and he is met by St. Peter at the Pearly
Gates.

"Welcome to Heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems
there is a problem. We seldom see a Liberal around these parts, so
we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in; I'm a believer." says Martin.

"I'd like to just let you in, but I have orders from the Man Himself.
He says you have to spend one day in Hell and one day in Heaven. Then
you must choose where you'll live for eternity."

"But, I've already made up my mind, I want to be in Heaven," replied
Martin".


"I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that, St. Peter escorts
him to an elevator and he goes down, down, down, all the way to Hell.


The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a lush golf
course; the sun is shining in a cloudless sky, the temperature a
perfect 72 degrees. In the distance is a beautiful clubhouse.

Standing in front of it is his Dad, and thousands of other Liberals
who had helped him out over the years---Pierre Trudeau, Jean Marchand,
Pelletier, St Laurent, etc. The whole of the "Left" was there,
everyone laughing, happy, and casually but expensively dressed. They
run to greet him, hug him, and reminisce about the good times they had
getting rich at the expense of 'suckers and peasants.' They play a
friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster and caviar.

The Devil himself comes up to Martin with a frosty drink, "Have a
Margarita and relax, Paul!"

"Uh, I can't drink anymore, I took a pledge," says Martin, dejectedly.

"This is Hell, son. You can drink and eat all you want and not worry,
and it just gets better from there!"

Martin takes the drink and finds himself liking the Devil, who he
thinks is a really very friendly guy who tells funny jokes like
himself, and pulls hilarious nasty pranks, kind of like they pulled on
the GST and Free Trade promises. They are having such a great time
that, before he realizes it, it's time to go. Everyone gives him a big
hug and waves as Martin steps on the elevator and heads upward.
When the elevator door reopens, he is in Heaven again and St. Peter
is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit Heaven," the old man says,
opening the gate.
So for 24 hours Martin is made to hang out with a bunch of honest,
good-natured people who enjoy each other's company, talk about things
other than money, and treat each other decently. Not a nasty prank or
frat boy joke among them; no fancy country clubs and, while the food
tastes great, it's not caviar or lobster. And these people are all
poor, he doesn't see anybody he knows, and he isn't even treated like
someone special!

"Whoa," he says uncomfortably to himself. "Pierre Trudeau never
prepared me for this!"

The day done, St. Peter returns and says, "Well, you've spent a day
in Hell and a day in Heaven. Now choose where you want to live for
eternity."

With the 'Jeopardy' theme playing softly in the background, Martin
reflects for a minute, then answers: "Well, I would never have thought
I'd say this -- I mean, Heaven has been delightful and all -- but I
really think I belong in Hell with my friends."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,
down, all the way to Hell. The doors of the elevator open and he is in
the middle of a barren scorched earth covered with garbage and toxic
industrial waste, kind of like Sudbury. He is horrified to see all of
his friends, dressed in rags and chained together, picking up the
trash and putting it in black bags. They are groaning and moaning in
pain, faces and hands black with grime.

The Devil comes over to Martin and puts an arm around his shoulder.
"I don't understand," stammers a shocked Martin, "Yesterday I was
here and there was a golf course and a clubhouse and we ate lobster
and caviar, drank booze. We lazed around and had a great time. Now
there's just a wasteland full of garbage and everybody looks
miserable!".

The Devil looks at him, smiles slyly, and purrs, "Yesterday we were
campaigning; today you voted for us!"

Hey Zack, Remember your birthday when that BBBBBIIIIIIGGGGG Girl was hitting on Mark and it was only little old me to keep her away? Well you'll really like this.

Why Computers Sometimes Crash! By Dr. Seuss.

Jacqui got this from her mom and I think that anyone who has used Windows will understand. To really enjoy it read it aloud to yourself - it's great!

------------------------------------------------
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted at a very last resort,

And the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, And the
double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,

And your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,

But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse;

Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'Cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk,
And the macro code instructions are causing serious risk,

Then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
And then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!
------------------------------------------------

Well that clear it up for me...what about you?
Thank you Bill Gates, for bringing all this into our lives!

Gotta Love Christmas

Well Christmas was a great event this year as I spent it with my wonderful fiancé and our two families. I think that everyone liked the presents that we gave them and I know that I loved the presents that I got. Want to hear about it? The list is below:

From my Friends:

From Mark I received a Klingon Bathleth sword set with the stand of the Klingon logo holding the two up made by my dad. I must say that it was an amazing gift. Thanks Mark!

From Zack I received a Mastercraft sure shot stapler (contractor version) and a crap load of staples. I know this will come in handy soon. A great gift Zack. Thanks again.

Kerri surprised me and gave me the collectors version of Lord of the Rings Monopoly. Now I collect Monopoly sets so this was a great board to add to the collection.

From Jacqui:

It was a Simpson’s Christmas from her and she didn't even plan it that way. I got season 6 box set of The Simpson’s, The Simpson’s Road Rage for Nintendo Game boy Advance, and a Simpson’s Christmas ornament. It's of Homer as Santa and he steps on Snowball the cat. When you press the button it goes "(snowball) Meow!...(homer) Doh!"

Jacqui you know how much I love it all and I can't thank you enough.

From my Family:

K this is getting longer than I thought so I need to keep the comments brief. Everyone knows I loved it all and still do.

-Dad made the Klingon stand for my Klingon swords.
- Mom and Dad got me the Movie Enterprise Hallmark Ornament.
-Christine got me a Rotary Tool.
-Monopoly 70th Anniversary Edition came from mom and dad. Very Cool!
-Grandma and Papa gave me Mario Kart Super Circuit for GBA and some screwdrivers and Candy.
-A Coffee Maker from Bob and Lorie (we needed a bigger one than the one we had)
-A Glass cake plate from Sue and Martin and the kids
-Monopoly Fridge Magnets from my Uncle Grant.
-A soft snowman that stands up from my Aunt Colleen and cousin Lindsay.
-Can't remember right now but i think it was also Christine who got me two other Simpson’s ornaments....I'll have to look into who got me that.
-Grandma Isabel gave us 20 bucks and we put bought a keyboard, mouse , speaker set that was on sale at CBIT for $19.99

From Jacqui's Family

-The book "The Da Vinci Code" from Jacqui's mom and dad.
-A big ass clay poker set
-Two movie passes
-Paris wall art
-20 bucks at Rainbow cinema from Jocelyn and Todd.
-6 pack of glass coke bottles (full for me to drink)
-Chocolate
-10 bucks for Tim Horton’s (used 4 of it so far)
-Rotary tool

-From Jacqui’s Granny I got tools….Tape Measure, multi-bit screwdriver, pliers, and a hammer. Good stuff for having in the van.

-There has to be something else but I'm forgetting. Once I figure out what it was I'll add it in.

Now I received two of the same rotary tools. This is funny because Christine got a phone call from Jacqui's mom to tell her that she bought me one. Jacqui also e-mailed my Dad to tell him and I still got two...Well I returned one of them to Canadian tire and bought a forever flashlight (the ones that uses a LED light and you shake to power it up. I like it a lot.)

I think that Christmas was a very good haul this year. Next year once Jacqui and I are married this will probably change .

Happy new year everyone!
