I just got an email advertising cheap pills from an email address apparently belonging to one of my RP characters. And the name isn’t exactly what I’d call a common one, either. Um, kay then. Is this a sign that I maybe possibly perhaps just a little RP too much? Anyone? When one’s own characters email you…

Spammers are getting creative. Well, that blows.

Oh, snap.
Jeff Dunham on comedy central right now. Awesomeness a-plenty. Unfortunately, well, I heard all these jokes before. I could cry. Or… um… something.

Are you a skeptic?
ZOMG we can has accuracy!
You Are 96% Skeptic
You’re no cynic, but you are a complete skeptic.
You don’t buy into anything without proof – and you’ll challenge any established “fact”.In your view, evidence is what matters. You don’t believe things based on hope.
In fact, you wouldn’t even be likely to say you “believe” anything. Believe implies faith.

Um, uh oh?
One of these days I’ll get into the habbit again of randomly dumping semi-humourous entries up here with links to articles/news stories/etc that demonstrate the utter moronicness of the average person. But for right now, um, is something broken on Canada’s job bank?
Sorry no jobs matched your query. Please try a different job source.
In Ottawa, of all places? that almost never happens. I’m shcared…

- 12:24 @samari76 Note to you: do not drink slim fast when there are so many better choices available! Have we learned nothing, grasshopper? *grin* #
- 12:30 @samari76 I’ll spare you the speech that starts with “if you have time to grab a slim fast…”. LOL #
- 14:15 Rain, again? Zuh? Was most of last week not enough…? #
- 14:21 @chellenator True. But I’d love it if it’d just nail us with a thunderstorm instead of alternately spitting and half-pouring. #

Awakeness still sucks.
My week of almost complete offlineness came officially to an end yesterday, and now the getting used to having the apartment to myself again actually starts. Jessica (samari76) got home last night at about, oh, midnight thirty, after playing musical buses for the better part of the evening, poor girl. There was all manner of fun to be had here though, and I truely think it’s been way too long since either of us enjoyed ourselves quite that much. She got to see a fair bit of the city, and meet a rather small portion of my family; remarkably less traumatic than I half expected it to be. The father unit actually went easy on her, which in and of itself was surprising in the extreme. Just means visit number 2 is probably gonna be all manner of fun.
It wasn’t all about me and her, though. I did get some encouraging news on the job front last week, as well. Which is what partially prompted the opening of alcohol that lead to the voice posts on both our LJ’s. They called last week to play 20 questions about the screenreader I use, and how it’d work in my opinion with their systems and whatnot. It seemed to go well, though they were quick to emphasize they had not yet actually made a decision as to whether or not to hire anyone they interviewed. I got a good feeling about it though, so we’ll see how it all goes. In the meantime, I do that thing where I be all manner of lazy.
There are pictures of some of the goings on of last week, and all that. They’ll be shared when I can get my hands on ’em. In the meantime though, I have tought another American that yes, things really *are* much better in Canada. There is hope for the rest of the world yet. The religious fanatics were right… miracles do exist.

Well, I didn’t get as much posting to Twitter done yesterday as I’d planned, but fortunately not a whole lot happened after going to Pembroke. We picked Jess (samari76) up at the bus stop yesterday morning, and headed out to my mom’s for the day. She and my aunt took us out for breakfast/lunch/whatever, then we generally shot the shit for a bit. Jessica hadn’t gotten a whole lot of sleep on the way up here, and had pretty much been up for 30 or so hours straight at that point so was starting to get a little bit run down. Honestly, I was getting a tiny bit tired myself. So we grabbed a nap for a couple hours, went back out to talk some more with mom, then made our way back to the apartment. By 11:00, early for both of us on a typical day and especially on a weekend, we were both out cold. Got up again at about 6:30 this morning, and have basicly been lazing around the place for the morning thus far. Jess still needed to catch up on her sleep after basicly going without it for almost 2 days, so she went back to bed. I’ll probably run in real quick in a minute to check in on her, but I don’t really expect to see her up and mobile until about noon, give or take.
Completely unrelated, but it just came up. Someone thought it’d be fun to call me out in a comment to a month old entry and then go back in and delete it. Yeah, really putting it out there.

It is officially official.
In less than half an hour, I leave to go grab Jess (samari76) from the bus station, and then we book it for Pembroke. The mother thing will be the third person to be introduced to her today, after my cousin and her husband, who are being my wheels for the purposes of retrieving the ariving passenger. I’ll admit to a tiny bit of nervousness, but I’m sure that’ll mostly go away after I’m finished this cup of coffee. As usual, the phone will be on me. So if needed, fire a text at me or call. Also as usual, I’ll still be updating throughout the day via Twitter, seeing as email posting from my phone is a pain in the ass and I just won’t be doing it until I get my next one. You can follow it if and when it gets posted to LJ, or in realtime here. We’ll both be back here at some point tonight, though online presence will be questionable as she’ll be exhausted from the trip plus going to Pembroke, and me, well, I’ll have company. Cope.
