It's true what they say about writing emails when one's frowning or grinding teeth -- probably a good idea to cool of before sending that email! Was bit of a hothead today at work, sent off an email that I hadn't realized had a less-than-friendly tone (in my head, it was just a sarcastic/humourous tone). I was about to fire back a reply to the original email, but I had the good sense to consult my supervisor, since I knew I was annoyed about the turn of events and a little bell was ringing in my head to let me know "this is not a good idea". It reminds me of a Scrubs episode, where J.D. wished he had someone there to tell him when he's about to make a mistake and in his head, that person turned out to be some opera tenor singer-type person. "Miiiiistaaaaaaaaaaaake!" Anyways, my supervisor read my email out loud to me with inflections, and I realized that it had a nasty tone if read a certain way. Needless to say, I refrained from actually sending the response. I blame all this on a low tolerance for stupidity and inefficiency...  For the record, I still think Robocop is way better than Iron Man.

I just want to put it on record that I haven't eaten too many chocolate candies that I didn't like, but the Skittles Chocolate Mix is by far one of the grossest "chocolate"-flavoured candies I have ever tasted. Isn't market research supposed to prevent these products from reaching the general public?!? I don't even know whether or not my trying out all 4 sub-flavours was self-abuse or bravado. Not every day that I come across a candy that I actually have to drink water to wash out the taste afterwards. Yeeech!

Congrats to Goosekim and his smashing new pad! Just make sure you have a pre-defined signal for your cousin to let him know when you're entertaining da ladies!

It seems like the only time I write these days is to state my annoyance at the TV world... Anyways, got some bad news today -- one of my favourite shows Intelligence did not get picked up for a third season; and to add insult to injury, CBC decides to renew The Border instead. Arg. I don't know who to be more mad at, the TV executives who continually cancel all the smart shows I enjoy or that the TV audience in general is a bunch of sheep who like crap.

I gave it a fair shot... Really I did. Three episodes of The Border and I have given up on it. I thought maybe it's just teething problems with the pilot, but I think it's the whole production that I don't like. It's not just the over-the-top plot, but the lines, the acting, the inattention to details -- they're all just terrible! The acting is very wooden and the line deliveries are simply cringe-worthy. And the way they made the JTF2 bit characters just makes me shake my head... the way they're drawn, it's like they are just dumb muscle... "uh, what should I do? Duhhhhh" And maybe I'm just a purist, but it is unacceptable to use take-off footages of F-18 planes and call them F-16s! F-16 has a single vertical stabilizer, not two dammit! Hahaha, you can tell that I kind of wanted the show to be good eh? Xanga seems kind of dead lately... I guess the blog fad is on its way out...
