Jay’s Life

Happy Holidays to everyone. It looks a lot like Christmas at our house, with the tree and lights, and a foot of snow with a thick layer of ice on top. The bonus being my car encased in the same ice. But everyone should be arriving some time today for the festivities.

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe holidays.

I paid off my car today. My very first car and a whole month early. This is a most excellent day in deed.

HA HA HA HA! Poor Happie!

Firstly, Congrats to Paul and Sonia who have the cutest baby on earth! I can’t wait to see if “Xbox” will be his first word. lol

I think I’m ready for winter to be over. I really love the season but so far it hasn’t been working out for me. Today I was at the dog park with Happie and his orange and white spaniel jumped up on my leg and tore its claws through my frozen flesh, i can’t begin to explain how much that hurt.

Secondly my car is old and would like to move to Florida, it really doesn’t like the cold and sometimes theres little i can do to motivate it to start. It even freezes itself shut so I can’t even try.

The good news is that on my way to Guelph today for my second last exam (yay!) I noticed that Glen Eden has a base. Yay x2!

There is hope for winter yet!

Now for the whole point of this posting….

Is anyone else interested in finding some good in this winter ugliness by taking a trip up to Blue Mountain next week (if they’re open of course)? Most of us should be done exams or be on holidays!
If you’re intersted let me know!!

I also wanted to post in reference to my poem about the 401 from last winter, that I’ve already been stuck in 3 accidents on the 401 WEST at Guelph Line. If you’ve forgotten it i’ll repost it.
Last year at that point on the 401 I was stuck because of an accident an average of twise a week for 1.5-4 hours each time.
Accidents almost always involved at least one car and one tractor trailer and occured in the right lane.
My “poem” might sound like angry rating (it is) but there is also alot of truth to it. From what i’ve seen so far this year (and its only snowed twise) the same things are happening again. So my “poem” is my list of survival tips to you. enjoy!

3 Mondays ago, I ordered my brand new iBook. I have yet to receive it. How very, very frustrating. It has now been 12 business days, and it should have been 5-10 according to the store I ordered it through. I should have just ordered it through Apple, but since I did a trade in initially, then ended up selling it privately there was no way to change the order.

This has totally sucked all the fun out of getting the new iBook.

UPDATE: The store just called with the information from FedEx who apparently sent my iBook from Ancrage to Taiwan to Memphis and it just left Winnipeg. Suddenly Cast Away is becoming less and less believable.

So, if you’re sitting out there thinking, “Gee, I really like Jason, I think I’ll get him something for Christmas”; here are some ideas.

So, it would appear that Apple is finally opening a store in Toronto, Yorkdale mall in fact. So I can go play with all the cool new apple stuff, instead of drooling at my computer looking at the website. Oh happy days. I wonder if they have an employee discount. Maybe a part-time job is in order here.
