My computer gave me a heart attack this morning when both the keyboard and mouse weren't responsive. I had to restart the thing! THEN it happened again this evening, of course right when I had stuff going in Notepad! I figure that Eric has to come over here and update the computer drivers, so texted him about it. It is difficult to diagnose a problem over text messages, for sure!

Edit at 10:30 PM - Now I have to do laundry because there was a flood of water all over my bathroom floor after I took a shower! Did I piss off Poisedon, too?! I probably need to get a new shower curtain anyway...


From Julie: Every time I hear a mean joke about being Canadian, I go to the hospital and get my feelings checked for free.




From Julie M. and her local news: Tacy Gash was a burn victim?! That's an unfortunate last name...




Auston Matthews plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs?! BAD SPELLING OF AUSTIN! He is my birthday buddy like Alexander Ovechkin, though!

glowing_dragon: (Poop)
My computer gave me a scare at 7:10 when the keyboard AND mouse froze! Luckily, I had my phone and could look stuff up. A restart cured it, but I should really get a backup at London Drugs one of these days...


Fart Buddy!

2018 Year In Review!


THIS ENTRY IS ALLOWED TO HAVE NON-ALIGNED TAGS.

[Meme fun: Take the first line from the first post of every month of the year. Repost it here as your year in review. (I'm discounting greetings and things like that :P) Yeah, it's been an interesting year!]

Go to your Calendar and find the first entry for each month of the year. Post the first line of it in your journal as a paragraph, and that's your "Year In Review."

I got a baby girl card for Jason and Vanessa ("KEEP CALM AND CARRY BABY WIPES"), NEW Shasha organic ginger snaps for Vanessa (no sugar?!), 200g of on-sale Ferrero Rocher, 100 store brand bandages, a NEW Carnation variety pack of hot chocolate (TURTLES Canada / Coffee Crisp / After Eight), and NEW Lipton Chicken Noodle Supreme soup from London Drugs, which has just started charging for plastic bags. SO MUCH ON-SALE BLACK PEPPER SALMON JERKY FOR ME AND JIMMY AND JULIE, OH MY! I called Barry at 8:35 AM to tell him about the mouse on the glue trap which I discovered last night. The computer restarted at 6 AM! I called Barry at 9:40 this morning to remind him about going to Rona for a Victor Pest Chaser Ultrasonic Rodent Repeller, which cost $33. I went to the pharmacy next door at 1:50 to refill my prescription early; yes, even Adam commented on it!

I left at 5:55 to get two 3-subject Hilroy notebooks in green and light blue (for home use and road use) from London Drugs, returning home at 6:40 on a late 407. CHOCOLATE AND BATHROOM REPLACEMENTS GALORE AGAIN, and today's date is a palindrome: 8/1/18! Yesterday, Frances C. emailed me to say that she couldn't make it to Felico's because of work, which is fine. I went out at 12 on a 401 so I could buy Campbell's Chunky Soup (Jerk Chicken with Vegetables / Butter Chicken with Vegetables), NESCAFÉ instant coffee (December 16, 2017), a NEW on-sale limited edition Oh Henry! Canada / Oh Henry 4:25 Pop-Up candy bar, barkTHINS snacking dark chocolate with pumpkin seeds for Thanksgiving dinner, NEW limited edition Doritos Late Night Fully-Loaded Nacho chips, and HALLS assorted mint cough drops. I went out at 12:20 on a 414 to do some shopping for on-sale Halloween candy and Advent calendars. COFFEE TIME while I'm still figuring out why Jimmy blocked me instead of just talking to me about what I did...... I should have posed it as a hypothetical a while ago!

The computer just restarted! At least it only takes two minutes now to get everything going again, maybe one more minute if you include Chrome pages in the browser! PHEW!

When I got up today at 7:15 AM, I found that my computer wouldn't go off Hibernate Mode for some reason - I even did a hard reboot of the thing! Then I thought it was possibly the monitor going screwy AGAIN like it did in late April. I went back to bed to rest some more while thinking of the worst-case possibilities in my head (NEW MONITOR EXPENSE?!) and waiting for a decent time to leave a voicemail with White Eric. I did that at 8:30 AM (saying that I needed him to work his magic with my computer monitor again) after I noticed that the light on the monitor was still blue and blinking. He called me back at 9:05 and said that he could come over tonight after work, but I knew he wouldn't be able to make it before 6:45 (which is when I'd have had to leave to meet Chrystal), so tomorrow night is THE TIME OF HOPE! I also found my red chili pants from Sears!

I drafted my August fact statuses on index cards, had COFFEE TIME, and called FYI Doctors to get a final price on the new glasses, even if they had to call the Ministry to find out if I was covered or not. THE PRICE IS $150! Less than the $175 I thought, but still... I left in the hot weather at 2:30 for Richmond Centre, just barely managing to get the 401, and going to KFC in the food court since it's National Fried Chicken Day today. I let the cashier upsell me to two pieces of fried chicken (a thigh and drumstick) instead of one: $2.95 vs. $5.64? Then I went to the library on a crowded 410; I updated CANUCK NATION, Steph, Julie M., Jimmy, Andrew M., and HS's Discord / wondered why Debbie S. would add me on another Facebook account / tagged some statuses that needed it. I swear the Facebook status jail thing is based on IP address! Now I'm leaving to pee and then meet Chrystal for dinner. I hope I don't miss the C94! I also did NOT delete Mom and Dad's old library card number and PIN from my Important Stuff Entry, which is good - I wrote it down in my notebook, and will duplicate it later at home! Good thing they didn't change the PIN! I should have remembered it earlier!

I showered today.


Random stuff from Mom and Dad: Two Superstore paper towel rolls, six Purex double rolls of toilet paper, a black Privilegio long winter coat from Big G, two generic tiny soap bars, a Los Angeles Kings thick blanket, a pair of black sandal things (not "slippers," Mom!) to replace my current ones, one pair of black socks, a dark purple Reitmans top (the button at the back is IMPOSSIBLE!), and a Disney XXL Mickey Mouse T-shirt.

Green and pink brown moose socks, generic white socks, a turquoise Dressbarn light jacket, a very flowery dress with shoulder pads, purple "XXL" pants, a dark red airy jacket, a silver hot water bottle, a dark purple Picadilly Fashions jacket, a blue and brown Van Heusen dress shirt, a black button-up light jacket, and a grey Intimate Details housecoat from Big G.

I showered and did emergency laundry because of a chili oil stain on my light blue Toronto shirt today, but it didn't wash out! UGH! At least I didn't buy the shirt, so I was fine with putting it in the laundry room garbage can since I was there anyhow.


Blossom I. Albuquerque?!




From Julie: Trenity?! At least Trinity is an actual word and is spelled correctly!




From Julie: Ronyetta?! The name reminded her of a yeti!

I spent a few minutes cutting off the care labels on my MARTEX washcloths, then threw away the sticky Western Family vanilla Greek yogurt and Kozy Shack tapioca pudding tubs.


Sparkle Hayter?!

From Julie: Laricko?!

glowing_dragon: (OMFG Yay!)
Chinese Eric emailed me, white Eric, Jeremy, Jon, Christon, and Randal this morning about a Stanley Cup Final hangout somewhere - Washington Capitals and Las Vegas Golden Knights! I scanned the email (which had possible scheduling), but didn't see where the hangout was going to be, so of course I emailed everyone to ask where it was. Chinese Eric actually was on the ball with his email and replied to say that it was going to be at Jeremy's place. ("it has been brought to my attention," indeed) Well, I'm not giving up my Mike's Hard Root Beer for this one, so I'll just buy snacks later on in the week. Easy!


Jempy Drucker?!

From Julie: A black guy is named Quan?!

HAPPY EASTER! It's also April Fools Day today - BOO!


The computer restarted at 6 AM! I went out to Shoppers Drug Mart at 1:20 on a 407, and bought on-sale Marketplace Cuisine meals (Butternut Squash Ravioli / Tortilla Crusted Fish / Vermont white macaroni and cheese / Sesame Chicken), on-sale canola oil, on-sale President's Choice milk chocolate eggs for Chrystal. Then I went to London Drugs for Easter chocolate which was more to my taste: on-sale Russell Stover chocolate bunnies (marshmallow / peanut butter / crispy), an on-sale Ferrero Rocher chocolate squirrel, an on-sale Aero chocolate lamb, an on-sale Smarties chocolate egg, on-sale M&M peanut butter chocolate eggs, on-sale Reese's mini peanut butter cups, and Lindt chocolate carrots! Got home at 2:20 on another 407 in the windy weather, so had some hot chocolate while throwing things away and cutting the tops off the PEPPA PIG sticker sheets for Fraser so they could actually fit in a fucking envelope.


CHOCOLATE AND MICROWAVE MEALS! )


From Someecards: Creepy Easter Bunny 44!




I sent a birthday card and some salmon jerky to Julie for her birthday, and she got it on Wednesday! Cat: "Is there an F in PRESENT?" Inside: "No, there is no F in PRESENT!" That's a lie, but whatever! :D




From Julie M. and JUDGE JUDY: Lluvia Waggoner?! Isn't that like an actual Spanish word?!




From Julie M. and CRIME WATCH DAILY: Kevin Duck?! Reminds me of Rick Duck from that EEA program back in 1997.

glowing_dragon: (Vancouver Canucks hockey!)
The Canucks played the Rangers tonight at 7, and lost 6-5 in an albeit entertaining game in overtime. The computer also restarted five minutes before the game ended.

From Julie: Maurkeece Foreman?!

glowing_dragon: (Vancouver Canucks hockey!)
This computer just restarted!


The Canucks have a prospect named Will Warm?! And his twin brother is Beck Warm?! What if they want to be COLD, like at the ice hockey rink?!




From The Washington Post: Melany Knott named her daughter KAISY Knott?! This actually reminds me of an Asian girl in Daniel Fellowship (1994-1999?) whose name was MELONEY.

glowing_dragon: (French Toast)
The computer just restarted! Jimmy told me today that he was planning on coming to the Vancouver area after going to Fort St. John up north to see Milan next May (ugh), so I said to let me know if he definitely does that. He says he is definitely planning on exploring Vancouver, so I guess I'll see on that one! I'm just glad that we seem to have a workable friendship!


From Krista: Purple dragon lady art!




From Not Always Right: Do you suffer from butthurt? Take two of these and shut the fuck up. 2 x 800 mg of Butthurtenol coming right up for YOU!
