all moved in

listening to: Thrice, perpetually. The Alchemy Index is awesome, all four EPs-though I wish they released it as a standard double album with four parts, because flipping between four 20-minute discs sucks. Also note the last song on each CD is a traditional Shakespearian style sonnet.

All moved in now, Apartment looks pretty. Got CD and book racks from Misty and Erin- now all cds and books on display looking very pretty, and we also have all of our copious video game systems hooked up... and also Carcassonne, Illuminati and poker in close reach... basically a hardcore entertainment set up.

Rach is schooling and working and I've been handing out le resumes... hopefully I will be getting a job at Minacs because I can work with Macs and it pays pretty well. I have heard people complain that the customers can get rude but I'm used to Tim Horton's so I should be able to deal with it. Other prospects include Price Chopper and Brant Office Supply... basically I am interested in anything except fast food for this next year.

Close friends will soon be invited over to check out the place and have freshly brewed coffee and/or espresso. Rach and I should be more visible soon as we have now got stuff in order. Be on the lookout for the newlyweds out and about. 

in circles

Well today was a day of much travels... first I went to Tim Hortons to sort out some shift issues and it went well, I even picked up another shift! Then I checked out the mall for something to do before busing it downtown... after trips to the usual spots (Chumleighs/Disc Depot/Bluestreak) I went to Rachel's...

...only to find out that she had beat me to Disc Depot and had randomly bought a Playstation 2!!! And she wanted to go to the mall to pick up supplies for it! So she whipped me up some pasta while I researched for the best games on the PS2. After dinner we went to EB and left with a memory card, a PS RF Switch for my old TV that she has, and two games, including Lego Star Wars 2 which I bought for use on her system... I also intend to buy a second controller for 2 player action at her house...

Anyway, we end up back at her place and we watch Wayne's World a classic film that was the Napoleon Dynamite of the early 90s. I am still trying to convince her to watch Halloween with me... It's not that scary, really!!!

anyway, it is now bedtime as I need to get up early and go to the bank tomorrow. See y'all later.

Gradiduationedzes

Lis10in: The Smashing Pumpkins- I of the Mourning Everyone called MACHINA/The Machines of God the worst Pumpkins record. I disagree... Don't let your appreciation of this record be tainted by your Adore disappointments. I would say that I dig this more than Adore and also more than Gish. The lyrics are Billy's best too. It's too bad the production is so processed though. Got it for $4.99 so I ain'ts complainins

The past few days have been quite packt (like sardines in a crushd tin box). Thursday was my gradiduation from Trent University. So now I can prove to you that I can speak good. So, tso good. The ceremony was... um, distorted by hail the size of ice cubes which enjoyed cutting my fingers open. Following was some dinna avec Dad (from TO) and Rach at Hot Belly Mamma's, one of teh best restaurants in this town.

On Friday I hung out with my dad and we had some good conversationings. I also found the elusive Metroid II: The Return of Samus for use on my old skool Gameboy system (the original, folks). This was at the Hock Shop. The game play has some unique features... much simpler control than on Super Metroid, but also harder to master the intricacies of movement.

I also went to Emmaus with Rach and picked up the book Listening to the Beliefs of Emerging Churches on a recommendation from Erin Doherty. It includes 5 chapters from different "Emerging" pastors about essential doctrine, etc. Each other writer then responds, so it is kinda like an academic roundtable discussion. Apparently I should like the first chapter (Driscoll) but become increasingly pissed off as I go on. We'll see. Three cheers for comparative theology!!!

Also werkt midnights last night and tonight.... sux. But next week it is all days. Yays. That is all fer nowz.

EDIT: It also turns out that this was my 500th blog posting.
