Dear Diary

I never had a real diary... I'd always get one (they were pretty).. want to write in it, so I'd pretend to put something important.. which was really "dear diary, hi" or " i saw a cat" very awesome of my child of a self.

Might have to do with the fact I would rather read than write, I had a snoopy sister or I never had anything worth writing about. Boring life I led eh?

Anyone else as boring a me?

La la La AMAZING!

So I watched Bones last night, It was a pretty good episode btw. It featured a childrens science show personality who wanted Bones to go on his show.  It pretty much reminded me of Bill Nye. Yay! Childhood tv shows! Things were so much more amazing when you were a kid. It's true, don't deny it. Bill Nye video.. watch me

On a HAPPPPY note, less than 3 weeks til I get my house! Tres exciting! Take that BMO mortgage woman! I dont need a man to get a house now do I. Sexist *****. ( In short, I went to my bank she sed your gonna waste my time, wait til you have a husband to help you.)

Going floor hunting today, it shall be fun.  Until  I can't find what I want for a resonable price:( boo. Hardwood is way to expensive! Comeonnnnnnn Direct buy! Dont let me down!

Beer

While in Portland, Maine, I experienced the most amazing beer ever.

Shipyard Brewing Co. PumkinHead beer. delicious. If you've ever had beer, you know what Im saying when I say aftertaste, well imagine beer w/o the aftertastes AND delicious pumkiny flavour exploding in all your taste buds. Yea, an orgasm in your mouth is right.
If your ever down that way(or up) def try it out and think of me and how thankful you are you read this.

Cheers,

Button Magic

So after reading an article on "Placebo buttons" it made me think, what are all of the "magic" buttons that make things work ( not really, but pushing them make us think they do). The article touched on a few,

Cross walk buttons

Fake thermostats in offices

Elevator door closing button (apparently disabilities act made those go out of style)

oh and the "clients looking over my shoulder looking for me to change something, ill just open this, and move this and close this, wa-la! happy customer"

What others can you think of?

cheers,

Tis all.

Measurement systems

Units bug me.  The whole world should operate within the same system of units, thus immediately eliminating any issues in mistaken units.  Airbus 380? not a problem, fuel amount? Great! Strangely the accidents I know of having to do with units are aviation related... not sure if that's because I'm a pilot and I just tend to learn these things, or they just largely happen in aviation due to the more commonly used imperial system in North America in combination with metric.

Work uses imperial.. and metric.  Tres confusing sometimes, til of course you realize whats going on, then it's "hmm.. ok?"  But it's not like one company can change the world by swapping entirely to metric. Sadly.

One day. 

The world will be.

Metric.

Ottawa

Im still not convinced Ottawa is part of Canada.

I've been here for little over 3 months, I've yet to like going outside.  It's either a hell-hole of heat, or a pit of rain.  Now you may think I'm exagerating, saying, " I was in Ottawa, it was beautiful!" I call bull shit on you. Wherever you were before must have been miserable.  I'm East Coast born and bred, Ive seen shit weather all my life, but nothing compared to Ottawa. 

An example of the riduculousness: check the weather yesturday, the weather network calls for suns across the board. check the weather 12 hrs later, 3/6 days are raining. 

I was informed thursday last week that this was a weird September, its usually really nice in September here. To be honest, I dont remember September, I looked at the calendar and was shocked to see October.

On a happy note

Cheers!
