Eeejiots! and other updates
It was once a simple affair to drive from point A to point B and things were hunky dory. Now I do the simple task of driving Danielle up to her job on Smythe and almost get side-swiped in a parking lot by a blue-haired old biddy not paying attention and then almost rear-end an asshat that pulls out of the Dollarama parking lot at the foot of Smythe and Dundonald. And this guy has a sticker on his oh-so-hip Sunfire proclaiming "Ask me if I care". You would care if I was driving a half-ton that couldn't stop in time an smashed your car! Fucker.
And yes, to the observant ones you now know that I am back in Fredericton. Have been here for about a week now. All moved in to a nice duplex on Beaverbrook a stone's throw away from Head Hall (I can see the A level parking lot from my driveway). The apartment is the rear half of a house that has a kitchen, living room and bathroom on the main floor with the bedroom, laundry room and a room at the base of the narrow stairs that I'm presently using as an office but can be a bedroom in a pinch (the previous tenants had their three kids in here). It is a very nice apartment for a very good price (especially this close to uni!). Has a few quirks, but they're manageable.
Also, my last post on this blog was 14 April. Since then, Google took over Blogger and changed a few things. I had no idea! But now I use the same account to log in to Blogger, Gmail and a Picasa account that I created but haven't started to play around with yet.
And Its Done

The plan was to start moving out last Monday. But, seeing as how dad was out on the road we couldn't exactly move anything without a truck and/or trailer. So, we started packing things. Wednesday, we planned to go forth and gather the Blue Beast for the purpose of moving our stuff to the storage locker and the remainder of things back to the Homestead. Papa-san didn't license the Blue Beast Wednesday when he was in town but through some finagling it got licensed before the SNB office closed anyways. We took the trip yonder to gather the Blue Beast but alas, after leaving the Homestead a mere five minutes down the road the u-joint decided to break. Turn back, return the Blue Beast and drive back to the apartment.
Papa-san arrived in the morn with the Work Truck and the Trailer to move things to the locker and the large furniture bits to the Homestead. Thus passed Thursday.
Friday was uneventful. It snowed, it rained, we stayed put.
Saturday we gathered the now mended Blue Beast and headed thither to the apartment to finish with the moving of things. We finished the packing and stashed the last of the items in the locker, or so we thought. Passed the night away at the apartment, our last evening there.
At new light we packed away our belongings into the Blue Beast and were dismayed to discover that the Blue Beast was full and there was still a large pile of things to leave the apartment. In the process of packing the Blue Beast, I was very silly and missed a stair, resulting in a rather painful twisted ankle. We drove yonder to the Homestead, unpacked, and slept.
Monday, our very last deadline of a day to remove ourselves from the apartment we headed thither to the apartment once more with the Blue Beast to gather the very lastest of last of things destined for the Homestead. We discovered that there were a few measly things to go in the storage locker, and we placed them thus. Filled up the Blue Beast, performed the required walk-through, returned our keys and gave up all ownership of the apartment. And so we arrive at the present day.
In other news, I purchased a new pay-go SIM for my stay in Alberta. The last four digits of the number are 1701.
I'm attracted to...

HULLZ YEAH.
Curvy and Cute
Raw score: 66% Big Breasts, 59% Big Ass, and 72% Cute! |
Thanks for taking the T and A and C test! Based on your selections, the results are clear: you show an attraction to larger breasts, larger asses, and cuter composures than others who've taken the test.
Note that you like women overall curvier than average.
My third variable, "cuteness" is a mostly objective measure of how innocent a given model looked. It's determined by a combination of a lot of factors: lack of dark eye makeup, facial expression, posture, etc. If you scored high on that variable, you are either really nice OR you're into deflowering teens. If you scored low, you are attracted to raunchier, sexier, women. In your case, your higher than average score suggests you appreciate a cuter, nicer look. Kudos!

Amazing what you find...
Due to the most recent incident of spamming to my poor little blog, I now moderate comments. However, due to this, I have just discovered posts from 2 years ago that seem to be flooded with spam comments. One in particular has 83 comments! Rather than trying to delete them all I just deleted the whole post. I'm going to go through the archive and see what else is all fucked up.
But, to preserve posterity, I'm going to repost what I delete.
Fucking spambots
Goddamned spam bots. Due to the huge amount of spam I just got blasted with on this blog (7 spam comments on my most recent post), I've turned on comment moderation. So every comment will pass through me first. Hopefully everyone that wants to comment still can...
eBay
eBay can be a great resource for things that are otherwise hard to find, aren't made anymore, aren't from around here, etc etc. Pretty much the majority of models that I have came from eBay as trying to find models in Saint John and Fredericton are quite difficult (whenever I do actually find models, they're of things I don't want to build). I'm a fairly successful eBayer, having made around 50 transactions or so in the time I've been active.
One thing that always pisses me off to no end are snipers. Snipers are people who watch an auction that they want and when it comes down to the last minute, they bid like crazy to try and win the item. This causes me no end of frustration when I can't be around for the end of an auction and lose to a sniper. Once, I was refreshing the auction page on an item I was winning and in the last 5 seconds I was outbid. eBay actually encourages this action! There are special programs that you can download that will bid like 20 times a second so that you have no chance at winning. The designers of those programs should be sent to
The Special Hell. I've had some discussions with Jonah about this, and he is of the school of thought that when it comes to eBay, you should put in the absolute maximum you're willing to pay for an item and, if you get outbid, don't sweat it as its more than you wanted to pay in the first place.
I finally followed his advice. There was an auction for an early '70s Chevy 4x4 pickup and a rare late '70s Dodge styleside pickup (the Dodge, in mint, unbuilt condition, goes for $60-80 alone). I put in my maximum bid for $45, the highest I was willing to pay for the auction. I've tried, unsuccessfully, four previous times to get one of these rare trucks. $45 was pretty much the maximum, but if I was outbid in the last few minutes I might have been persuaded to go to $47. Anyways, I was winning the auction at $13 and some change for the past few days. Within the last minute, as I continually refreshed the page, the price went to $21.50, then $22.50. Then within the last
five seconds, the price went to $43.50. The auction ended before the bidder could go any higher. I checked the bid history of my newly won auction and discovered that the last bidder, the one that brought the price to $43.50, was a different bidder than the $21.50 and $22.50 bidder, and was in fact the bidder I outbid to win the auction in the first place! I successfully thwarted a sniper!!!

Not in Kansas anymore...
Never actually been to Kansas, but ya'll know what I mean. The flight out was uneventful. Got to Edmonton it was dark, and late. Everything was closed so we couldn't go explore too much. I was very excited to see that there actually is a Liquor Barn in Edmonton. I simply must visit.
Whitecourt is.... a lot different than what I'm used to. First, there's a shitload of snow. Like, 4' of snow. All the roads, driveways, parking lots are snow-covered. Only the highways are bereft of snow, and even then is just a track where the wheels go. The best way I can describe the town itself is that its spacious. Everything is spread out in a large area. The content of the town is similar to smaller towns in NB like Oromocto or Sussex, only in an area the size of Fredericton if not bigger. Actually, now that I think about it, Whitecourt is a lot like Bathurst.
I think I might like it here.

So pretty....
A fresh snowfall. The trees are covered in snow.
A full moon. Illuminates the night as bright as day.
God, I wish I wish I wish I had a camera that can take a picture of what the human eye can see on a night so beautiful as this. If I wasn't tired, I'd probably go for a midnight stroll...
