The Darkest Evil

I went this morning to finally crack open that apple juice that I have been wanting to drink and guess what? Someone already did it for me. Plus, they had the nerve to down about half of it. Bastard! I believe this is why my Pizza Pops started coming up missing and the box appears in the trash. Plus, my chocolate milk starts getting drunk in about half the time it would take me. WTF?

In other news, I got my copy of Neverwinter Nights 2: Chaotic Evil edition in the mail today from GAME in the UK. I just need to get myself a Mighty Mouse and I am all set to play that sucker! I crack the box open and to my surprise, it’s not all that exciting. I could have sworn that I thought I would get a lot more stuff than what actually came in it. Here is what I did get, just so you know: (more…)

This is a list of all the software I purchased this year, whether it was for my MacBook Pro or for my Windows PC that I used to own.

Applications that I Purchased

• Acquisition - A file sharing app for the Macintosh platform.
• Adobe Creative Suite 2 - A set of cool Adobe applications. I usually only use Photoshop though.
• Apple Aperture - A cool photo editing and arranging app.
• Chroma - A media player that I bought. I shouldn’t have though, it wasn’t all that great.
• CSSEdit - A cool little CSS editing app.
• Delicious Library - A cool app that will allow you to scan in your books, DVDs and other media so you can index them and keep track of them. Uses your iSight to read the barcodes and pulls data from Amazon.ca.
• FlickrExport for iPhoto - It’s a pretty cool app that allows me to upload my photos to Flickr from my digital camera after they are imported into iPhoto.
• Keepsake - Come to think of it, I am not entirely sure what this game is about.
• Microsoft Office for Mac - We should all know what this is.
• Neverwinter Nights for Mac - Yes, this includes the two expansion packs as well. I had to get those so I could play NWN to it’s fullest.
• Neverwinter Nights 2 Chaotic Evil Edition - I hear it’s a pretty cool game. I hope I get to play it once Game.co.uk delivers my copy.
• Parallels - For those times when I need a test Linux environment
• Postal 2 - The ultra-violent offencive game from Running With Scissors.
• Spymac Club - A series of applications for people to connect to the SpyMac community.
• TextMate - A great text editor for the Mac.
• Transmit - A very nice FTP app.

Okay, so the day of the DOA meeting, I walk into Words and Pictures and lo and behold - my Green Green DVDs came in. The problem? I ordered them 2 months ago from Words and Pictures and I got them when I got back from Fall Ministry Experience from Amazon.ca. In fact, he made me pay for them with my store credit from those Dungeons and Dragons guidebooks that I returned. WTF?!? So, these DVDs are going back to Amazon.ca since Rob won’t allow me to get a refund at his store. Yeah, from now on I am going to use Amazon.ca to purchase all my anime stuff because Words and Pictures sucks. (Miranda directed me toward this store, so what should I expect?)

Also, I finally moved my site over to MediaTemple. Yeah, I know - I should have done it sooner. I started the process to give Barry my web space so I hope he can forgive the latency of this. Just in case you don’t know, I will fill you in on all the details. Barry runs an Azumanga Daioh fan site called Sata Andagi and a less important site called ThoughtDump.net. Now, normally, I would just give this away to someone through some sort of contest but this guy is on 1&1 web hosting so he kinda got my sympathies on this. (fyi: 1&1 is evil)

When I went to my Post Office box downtown, I found out that I forgot my P.O. Box keys. So I had to get the nice Post Office woman to get my mail for me. Appearantly, my Bleach Original Sound Tracks came in. ^_^ But unfortunately, I had to pay customs fees on one of the CDs, just because it was not correctly classified. It wasn’t too bad though, only about $6.00 or something like that. I wonder what I will have to pay when my books come in from Alibris or my NWN2 Limited Edition DVD comes in from GAME in the UK.

So, after that ordeal, I trudged to Meagan and Matt’s place to watch CSI. So, this entails taking the C-Train from downtown to Brentwood and taking a #20 Northmount bus to the shopping centre that encompasses Safeway, CIBC, Shell, a 7-Eleven, a PetroCanada and a few other places. The trudge up to Meagan and Matt’s house from the bus was fierce as they lived several blocks away, completely barred from the bus. The weather was brutally cold and the streets were completely dark (local time: 7pm). When I finally make it to their house, I am greeted with the promise of Lasagna and about 1 hour of CSI.

Today, I leave my warm, comfortable bed for the cold Calgary weather that doesn’t appear to be getting any better and make my way to ABC to talk with Mr. Pringle. Appearantly, I am to blame because my roommate is a liar and my landlords were douche bags. I don’t understand why this is and I am not quite sure why it is that everyone at that college wishes to bully me. It feels at times that I am helpless in my struggle. It feels as if that the faculty (Mr. Pringle and Mr. Frasier) will not stop their assault against me. I am growing terribly tired of this and I wish that I could just escape…

Today, I am switching over to Linux and I hope to have everything ready for tomorrow! Oh, and just so you know, the bookmarks.html file DOES exist for flock, you just have to look really hard to find it. (more…)
