“black flies the little black flies…”

June 17, 2006

“always a black fly everywhere you go, i’ll die with the black flies picking my bones in north Ontar-i-o-i-o, in north Ontar-i-o.”

(i like that song)

so anyone remember the big fuss everyone made over pre-washed salad packages containing a bit of e-coli in them?

well, at the time i didn’t really think much of it.
and i continued to eat the salad straight from the bag.
hey, if i wanted to wash the salad i’d buy a normal bunch of lettuce!

and i figured, a little e-coli isn’t gonna kill me! i continued with the whole ‘not washing ready-to-eat salad’ thing.

[it’s like that whole West Nile virus ’scam’. i say it’s all a ploy by the companies who manufacture mosquito repellant.
granted, a couple people do die from West Nile every year, so i’m all for the elderly and children and sickly people to be cautious.
but seriously, most of us already carry the west nile virus and we’re doing just fine with it.
anyways back to the subject at hand. :D ]

unlike me, my parents have ALWAYS washed the salad.
like hardcore washing with soap suds and everything.

tonight i find out that my mom found a fly in the salad container!

heh, all those years of washing are finally justified.

so maybe i will start washing the salad now.
that is, if i ever buy it again.

imagine crunching down on a bug!! that’d be disgusting!
(lol, e-coli is okay, but bugs are unacceptable! :) )

i watched a bizarre show on tv today.
it was called “What were they thinking?” and the host (Sean Cullen, who always cracks me up!) was going around to random towns in canada that had big statues of things.
like, the biggest pyrogy was in Alberta.
he also went to a huge revolving egg…. i’m not sure what that was about.

and then there were giant mushrooms.

it was an odd odd show.

i do like that Cullen guy though.
he has an accent on the ‘a’ in his name… it’s intriguing cuz i’ve never seen that before.

`blop
(btw, if anyone really cares what the brand of salad was, you can email me and i’ll tell you.)

she holds the key, tight in her hand

i FINALLY got my pass “keys” for work!

more importantly though, I was able to put a lyric from a Gavin DeGraw song as the title!

haha, i’m pleased…

anyways, now i can do to the washroom!

…b/c the washrooms in the building are out by the elevators and to get there you have to go out the secure office doors.
so before i wouldn’t go to the washroom b/c then i’d have to wait for someone to randomly come out (or go in) in order to get back into the office.

i think that’s about all that i have to say about that.

let’s give them something to talk about

so i bet no one could guess what i’m doing right now!

talking in a chatroom!

LOL.

i used to do that when i was a young teen….
those were the days.

i can’t even remember what i used to talk to those random people about.

well anyways, i got home from work today and was DEAD tired.
I rested but didn’t sleep, and then i skipped going to the drop-in centre. (i’m not sure if i feel bad about doing that or not…)

then after awhile i realized that i should get ‘up’ and do something b/c going to sleep at 9:00 wasn’t going to help me with anything.

so i started surfing the net for all the things that have crossed my mind recently (mp3 player, ally macbeal dvd, joshua radin’s album, corneille, ebay surfing, Eggplant restaurant in T.O, webzines…etc)
and ended up in a chatroom.

!!!!

they’re always a bit sketchy…
but i ended up chatting with a couple americans.

and i’ve got to say it was hilarious.

the guy wasn’t a big fan of canada or something, so he made fun of me, but in a fun kinda way…
(he kept calling me a ‘Canook’ is that an insult or something?)
and i got to talk about everything good about canada, which is something i like to do. :)

and then i taught them how to use the word “eh?” correctly, which was a lot of fun, cuz they didn’t get it for a while.

and then a bunch of stuff inbetween that i can’t remember.

overall, i say, why can’t there just be more conversations like that online?

why does the anonymity make people go crazy?
