And I can't think of any place in town that serves a decent taco at this hour...

Argh. It's been so busy for me lately. Two of my staff quit and I'm in the middle of a 13 day work week.
Yeah... stuff.

1:26 am - Sleep? I'll just do it on the plane!
|
This morning I get to fly to Toronto for a conference and convention. I get back into town Sunday night. The CEO of the company is flying there all the way from Nottingham England to give us a presentation.
My flight is at 9:55am. I should probably get a full nights rest before going to the airport but I'll probably end up just sleeping in. Instead, I'm gonna stay up all night and sleep on the plane. The flight should be around 6 hours.
So I get to be in Toronto again for almost a week but I'm probably not going to have any time to actually do anything fun. The conference is all work and I gotta work the convention. An even bigger slap in the face is that I found out that TFcon, the largest Transformers convention in Canada is happening the SAME DAY in Toronto. Unfortunately I'm on the other side of town working the OTHER nerd convention. lol

I hate inventory. I hate month end reports as well. Together on the same day... Bah. I'm doing the month end report tomorrow.

It's a busy concert week for me this week. I went to see Nightwish last night with Lily, they were pretty awesome but I think I like the sound of their old singer more. This Friday is the Ladytron show and on Monday is the Cure's show that was delayed from way back in October.
I had wanted to go see the Birthday Massacre and MSI next Sunday but work is making me run inventory that night so I won't be able to make it. Crap on a stick.
current mood:  busy

I'm sick... AGAIN! This sucks. I've got all the same symptoms I had a month ago when I came down with tonsillitis. Thankfully I don't have any huge chores to worry about this time around like getting ready for renovations and moving the shop into storage.

I'd just gone to bed and just gotten comfortable when I heard a screeching and then a loud BANG outside.
'THAT, was a car accident.' I think to myself.
I quickly throw on some clothes and head out to check it out. At first I thought it was a head on collision. Turns out it was a parked car from my block that was hit. The Audi that hit the parked car was totaled. The parked car, was thrown half way down the block, up onto the sidewalk and knocked down a tree. It was trashed as well.
I saw a guy and two girls from the car and ask if they're alright. The guy tells me he's okay and I should mind my own business and go away. I smell alcohol in his breath. Uh oh.
I hear one of the girls crying in Vietnamese into her cell phone, not 911. A white Celica pulls up and picks up one of the girls from the Audi and speeds off.
I go down the block before calling 911 on my cell phone. The emergency crew shows up a few minutes later. The guy and other girl from the car had decided to ditch their car and bolt down the street and I point the cops in their direction. The cops come back to the scene with the guy and girl.
I get to go home and back to bed as the cops interview the witnesses who actually saw the accident happen. I can hear one of the cops interrogating the guy from the car from my room.
I sometimes park in that corner where the parked car was hit. Geeze, good thing I didn't park there tonight!
current mood: sleepy

1:45 am - I get really, REALLY BAD motion sickness
|
I tried to see that new monster movie Cloverfield tonight.
Damn movie was filmed like it was shot on a camcorder and was shaking around all the time. I get really, REALLY BAD motion sickness.
20 minutes into it I had to run out of the theater to throw up into the garbage can. Dee-licious! I'm surprised I lasted that long at all!
I had to lay down for about an hour and a bit afterwards. I'm still feeling a bit woozy right now.
At least I got a refund!
current mood:  sick

10:09 pm - Most awkward X-mas dinner EVER
|
Every year my family usually goes out to some Chinese restaurant for X-mas dinner. This year we went to the Fortune restaurant in Oakridge mall. I was running late when I got there and I see two fire trucks and an ambulance parked outside with their emergency lights on. I find our table and it turns out someone in the restaurant had a heart attack and the EMS crew were there trying to resuscitate him right BESIDE our table.
My grandmother is raving about how this is bad luck and most of the rest of the family can't stop turning their heads to look at what's going on as my aunt is scolding everyone to mind their own business and try to ignore it. Eventually my aunt gets another table with my grandmother and comes back when the paramedics hook the guy up to portable life support and finally cart him out. The paramedics were probably working on the guy for about an hour before they finally got him out.
current mood:  uncomfortable

Next weekend I get to go to Toronto for the GW Managers conference. I leave Sunday mourning and arrive Sunday night, the actual conference dates are Monday and Tuesday and then I fly back Tuesday night to get back into town just in time for Halloween.
The trip is supposed to be strictly business but I've got the evenings free to do stuff. Anybody know of anything to do in Toronto on a Sunday or Monday night?
Btw, everyone needs to check out POWERTHIRST!!!1

12:26 am - Lord of the Flies...
|
It's now what? Week 7 of the garbage strike? My bins outside are full and I've even filled the lawn trimmings bin with trash.
So thanks to the piling trash, my house is now infested with fruit flies. At first it was just a few hovering around the garbage can. But now they seem to be absolutely everywhere and their numbers increase exponentially every day. I set up a strip of fly paper and within 5 minutes I had caught about twenty of them. Half an hour later and there's too many to count. The latest bag of garbage is now double bagged and outside on the back porch. My biggest worry is that the local wildlife will get into them and spread the trash all over the yard. That'd be perfect... not.
Sheesh, I need a better way of getting rid of these flies.

12:59 am - Giant robots are just too cool.
|
So I went to see Transformers tonight and I was quite impressed! I didn't have high expectations of it so I was surprised to find that it didn't completely suck! It was a little lacking in the story development and I would've liked to see more Transformers characters but giant robots beating the crap out of one another made up for all that. ^_^
current mood:  impressed
