today's track : Billy Idol - White Wedding

So there's a big virus going around and I think I've got it on my computer at home. Figures. Luckily for me I was planning on reformatting my computer anyhow. This big virus also has me running around the office here and making sure that everyone has installed the right patches and updated their anti-virus software. Damn viruses are wasting my time!! I gotta get myself disconnected from the matrix soon.

This week I've gone on a shopping spree of sorts. On Monday I purchased a brand new poker chip set on ebay. Yesterday I bought new glasses. I'm now a not-so-proud owner of Dolce and Gabana glasses. I have a cousin in Philadelphia that wears nothing but name brand designer clothes. His closet is full of Versace, Gucci, Louis Vouton, Guess, and of course Dolce & Gabana. Some of his belts cost more than my entire wardrobe. Personally I find him to be rather shallow and materialistic and I've always associated these name brands with those types of people. Yesterday when I bought glasses however, I couldn't find a single pair of quality glasses that actually looked decent on me. So now I'm wearing one of the products I absolutely despise. Woe is me. I guess the only good thing about getting these glasses was that I was able to get them pretty much for nothing since my mom knows the owners of the glass shop and my benefits at work cover most of it.

I'm feeling rather crappy today. If I was one of the seven dwarfs I'd either be Sleepy or Grumpy today. I go through a myriad of dwarf like symptoms each week: Sleepy; Grumpy; Dopey; Doc; Sneezy; Happy; and of course not-so-Bashful aka Slutty. When the end of the week comes I'll be Happy. I'm headed up north again this weekend for another camp trip. More fun in the sun. I'll be sure to put on plenty of sunscreen this weekend since I'm starting to look a little Cambodian-like. Not that there's anything wrong with being Cambodian. I just hate being mistaken for something I'm not. Yesterday I was mistaken for some ridiculously good looking male supermodel while walking down Dundas. I hate when that happens.

If anyone is an avid reader and is a fan of Douglas Coupland. He's got a new book out called "Hey, Nostradamus". I've read the opening chapter and some previews on it and it sounds to be similar in style to his book "Girlfriend in a Coma", which was an excellent book. Go out and pick up that book!!

For those of you who like looking at stars. There's a meteor shower happening tonight! Since it coincides with the full moon, the best time to view it is just before sunrise when the moon starts to disappear. Here's your chance at making tons of wishes.

Well it's almost lunch time...I think I'll be grabbing some grub soon. So long and keep on rocking the free world!
