My Re-Ward!

In honour of making it through exams without killing anyone, I went and got my ears pierced again. I went to this place in Guelph called Stigmata, and they were really good. Very clean, very nice.
Since I don’t have any more room on my lobes (I’ve already got 3 there) I got my helix (outer cartillage) done. Hurt less than I anticipated; is more sensitive post-piercing than I’d hoped. I had to make myself a new C-shaped pillow to sleep on because I kept rolling onto my sides while sleeping and waking myself up from the pain of crushing my new wounds. Owie. Good thing I have meters and meters of fabric and a sewing machine around, eh? ^_^

Anyway, here’s a pic. All hail the all-mighty power of my ear. It looks all shiny because I just gave it my morning clean with the Bactine solution. … Um, I mean, I always look that polished and shiny. Yes yes.
( So I says ‘I need that like I need a hole in the head!’ )

Stupid Web Host

Bah. I went to my web host’s site to check the cost of upgrading to their next level package because I’m running short on both webspace and bandwidth. Lo and behold, they’ve changed all the specs!
They increased bandwidth for the smallest package from 3G to 10G
They increased webspace from 50Mb to 350Mb
They increased the number of email accounts from 5 to 10

I think “Great! I won’t have to upgrade after all!”

Except they also made all this available to “new customers only” for the next month. >_<

I guess it makes sense as a promotion, but I can’t help but feel kinda annoyed. I went to their site with the intent of giving them more money only to find out that since I’m not “new”, my money won’t buy as much as someone else’s will, and then after that I couldn’t even find out what is available to me.
I sent them an email asking what I’d be getting if I upgraded my plan, but it’s only been 10 minutes so they have not replied yet. ^_~
If it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t have the cash to buy a whole new plan (if you upgrade, you only have to pay the difference), it would almost be enough to make me resign up as a “new” client just to get the deal. ^_~

So blah. I’m ticked off now. And I still need more space and bandwidth.

We are, we are, we are, we are the Engineers!

Yesterday at school the Guelph the Engineers gave us all a show. I was bored to death waiting for my next class and hanging out in the University Centre, when all these people run through in their underwear. Their tighty-whighty underwear. Most wore a second pair of underwear below the first, but it was still funny. The girls had white panties and tank tops.
They all had “GE” (for Guelph Engineering?) written on their ass in the General Electric letter style.

They were all singing that engineering song I hear from Dan at the top of their lungs.
Here’s the lyrics, according to some random guy who apparently goes to Guelph. There’s also additional lyrics, as submitted by people at other schools.

And thus, I was amused. ^_^

Though I’m pretty sure the Biologists don’t have a song. Then again, we don’t run around campus in our underwear, either.

Lazy Me

I was too lazy to do anything here for April Fool’s Day. Gord wins by default, though his is pretty good. ^_^ Though I think my falling so hard for Tyler’s/Gord’s last year has ruined any hope I have for falling for anything for the next couple years. ^_~

In completely unrelated news, you can now have your online blog printed as a book. Because such a huge percentage of blogs are worth publishing, eh?

Spring Forward…

Yay! It’s finally spring! Yesterday was, appropriately, nice and warm and we actually wore light jackets instead of heavy coats. At least until 5pm when the temperature plummeted again. Meanwhile, it’s currently -5C.
So much due at school this week. Eeep. Even the “holiday extension” we got for one of our major projects doesn’t help me, because it’s extended from a Thursday 4pm due date to a Monday 8:30am due date, and I’m running around doing family stuff the entire weekend. o_0 I’m just pretending there’s no extension, since I have to have it finished by Thursday anyway.

Also, someone please tell me this review of X-Men 2 was written as a joke or something, and the guy really isn’t a drooling moron who apparently watched a different movie from the rest of us (and gets the comics messed up, too). I’d post it here, with little side comments about what’s wrong, but I’m still holding out a bit of hope it’s some sort of humour. Right now all I can do is use one of its own lines: “There are so many things wrong with this movie review, it’s almost impossible to know where to start.”
