I’ve been seeing trailers for this movie all over the place recently.
I had never seen it.
So, on a whim, I rented it. (I know. I know. Watching a chick flick by myself. How much of a loser am I?)
I have to say, seeing Jack Black in a more (but not too) serious role was interesting. He did the part well.
And over all, not an entirely bad film (for a chick flick).
Now I’m going to go hang my head in shame.

That’s right. Officially today, I am a PADI Divemaster.
My only goal is to get you to have as many ascents as descents.
And maybe have a few good times in between the descents and ascents.
And then there’s the whole “Diving Safe” thing while having a few good times in between the descents and ascents.
I will try my best to make them all happen.

This site feels old to me.
Every time I’ve looked at it for the past few months, I’ve wanted to update the look (and maybe the CMS too… haven’t decided yet). Just haven’t made time.
Expect it to change some time in the next while.

I tried to email you, but your email bounced back. This leads me to believe that you aren’t truly serious in your email.
It doesn’t matter anyway because I’m not selling my domain (at least not for anything less than $20,000USD. Make it $20,005 and I’ll add my mum). I love Rogue Monk and I can’t imagine it being anything other than my personal soap box.
I hope you find another domain that suits your needs.
(I wouldn’t really sell my mum. She’s the best mother I have.)

For more than two years, I’ve worked for Langley Diving.
Just yesterday, I noticed that the soap dispenser in the washroom is called “Alibi”.
Ignoring my obvious inattentiveness, this is one of the best names for soap I can think of.
(with a european accent…)
“Alibi. Wash those bloody hands clean.”
“Alibi. As sweet smelling as the lies you’ll tell.”
“Alibi. For a truly guilt-free clean.”

It’s a sad state of affairs I live in.
I use a timer on my computer to remind me to drink water ever 30 minutes.
Like most people I get into a groove and forget trivial things. Food, water… I’ve even held my bladder for as long as possible because I wanted to get my current thoughts out of my head.
If you don’t have a timer and are on a mac, I highly recommend Flextime.
It costs a bit, but it’s kept me from dry-baking a few boiling pots.

I used to wonder how those kids in Korea could walk into a cyber-cafe, play a video game for 36 hours and then drop dead due to lack food and water.
I used to wonder because last night I spent the better part of 8 hours writing some code that I only moderately understand.
Unlike them, I did occasionally get up to get a drink and use the washroom, but before I knew it, it was 5 AM.
And a few short hours later, here I am at work.

Apple has finally opened a store on the west coast of Canada.
Technically, it opens May 24, but the excitable little boy in me is still high-fiving the air.

I was walking home after work—as I’m often prone to doing—and I see this newer model Ford Mustang round the corner just as I get to it.
The driver was a nun!
Seriously! She had the outfit and everything.
Nice vow of poverty.
If a “bride of Christ” has better transportation than I do, I really need to up my standard of living.
At least, I had the good sense to buy a new pair of shoes recently.

I drive a big white box van for work.
Even though it isn’t “cool looking”, it gets the job done.
It would get the job done faster if people driving in front of me would at least go the speed limit.
For the longest time I wondered why. Now, I think it has to do with the general shape of the van.
People think I’m the police.
Either that or they like being tale-gated.
Bloody humans.
