oh god finally

well well well, the weekend is over. The parents have departed and all is good again. It's been a stressfull weekend and I am glad I got to see my folks but jesus. We had dinner last night with them and Gordon + Rae and it went well... we sprung the news on em in a fashion that was most fitting. They totally thought bad news or some sort of 'we opened a resp for seb' news was coming but hey hey... they got the goods.

It feels very surreal still being employed full time again. Especially at a company that's so cool. However I am sure that it will all sink in soon enough. Then I can feel good.

congrats to me.

huh, that's pretty cool

Well, as none of my parents nor kate's read this our secret will be safe till we tell them tonight. I've been hired. YAY! They gave me a position in their downtown office and that works great for me as that's where I wanted to work all along. super yay!

So that's the great news.

The bad news is that my parents are visiting and I am not in the mood for it. Neither is Kate. Not that they are horrible people or anything like that but they can be very negative and their comments on our parenting can be very hurtfull. I don't really know a way to tell them to stop or to comment on how the things they do are negative to our relationship at the time and are hurting both Kate and Myself but..... there are good times and bad times right? The last time we saw them was a great time.

So, we'll see how the last day today goes with them.

this could be bad.

I've come to the conclusion that we are all fucked.

I think that this growing tension between muslim and christian (catholic) peoples is growing at an accelerated pace. One that we have not been near before. That this is going to boil over very soon and when it does there are going to be a lot of people dead. I'm not saying which side is going to instigate, respond or win but I don't think I'm very happy about it all.

yeah, that's dark but really. The way that the media inflames the situation and the way that people yabber on without know the facts we are just making a rumour mill on a global scale that is being taken to extremes. It's going to blow up and we are all stuck right here in the middle of it.

>insert shoot down noise here<

done. no job for me.

If I could get the price is right WHAA WHUAAAAN noise to play here I would.

I was told that it's not available.

I got Illustrator an a second monitor. This is starting to ramp up my technology abilities. Now to get my art in line.

shit is tight yo

aiight.

we be all up in this bizotch with the 2.4 ghz P4, 4gb of DDR400 riz-am and 1 terrabyte of hard drive space. Maybe Sebastian putting a monkey in the works (so to speak) wasn't such a bad thing. I got a number of pending items done on the PC and we are working much better because of it.

update on life coming eventually.

grilled cheese in the VCR

well. Sebastian. I will not kill you but one day when you are older I will break something of yours. You're up to 3 things now kid and you aren't even 2.

My wonderful boy put a crayola crayon ( i think it was passion purple ) in to the fan on the front of my computer last night. I heard that noise from the kitchen, the noise of something being chewed to pieces by a fan. When I came round the corner I watched my monitor go black. it won't power on and it has much melted crayon through out. So. I checked the cpu chip in the lab at work today and it's dead.


Boy. You should be glad daddy loves you so much. ;)

I can't believe it

left me hangin.

I called and emailed but got no reply from the team lead and now I got to wait through the weekend to find out this shit. What a piss off.

bah

Leather Headphones

They be hot.

I still don't know about the job. they haven't left me hangin or anything like that. The decision day is supposed to be tomorrow. Fingers crossed all over the place.



I've been listening to a lot of mixes by my friend Craig (Dj kwest) [www.myspace.com/dj_kwest] and I decided to make an album cover for his 80's remix album. I'm diggin it. It shows some 80's flavah along with a nice simplistic style.
Kate's off at another thursday night crafting night and I am here with the S man. He crashed out a few hours ago but I'm sure he'll be stirring soon. My wonderful leftover dinner of roasted potatoes and lemon dill salmon tasted like ass after the microwave got to it. Nothing like last nights symphony of flavor when it was fresh and the salmon was less than 12 hours out the water.

Tomorrow is beer n cake day at work. This will be the first one I've gone to, so I'm looking forward to it. mmmmmmm beer n cake. what better way to end the week?

Life the universe and everything.

Well I'm playing the role of the happy boi this weekend.

I got a new toy and have been messing with it in the photoshop, loads of fun. Laugh or like this is the first thing I've drawn with the tablet. It's a neat experience being able to actually freehand. I am looking forward to getting better with this baby.

I'm going to be meeting informally with the team lead ffrom the other site tomorrow afternoon to talk salary possibilities and the question of 'do I want to be in this position, or will I go insane'. I'm not sure about the latter. The question makes me think of being jammed in a lab testing video cards or something. Well we shall see how this talk goes and where I may or may not be headed in this here work world.
