A man could get used to hotel living. Every day, no matter how much mess I make (in practice, a few dirty towels in the bathroom, but in THEORY, walls covered floor to ceiling in scat!), magical elves come and clean up after me.
I even get a cable internet connection and some adult TV channels, so it's just like home.
If only the hookers...

Why I didn't get the D70:
~Nikon has really bad customer service.
~Not very good software, and compatability with other software (Photoshop)
~It doesn't have a crazy dust removal filter like the one Olympus patented, which is extremely handy. Cleaning a DSLR takes weeks when sent away, and the people doing it often fuck up your camera.
~It's only 6 megapixel, mine is 8.
~It costs more because it's a Nikon (I saved $400 and got 2 lenses instead of 1)
What's good about the Nikon is that it has a clearer 800 ISO. That's the only thing that I thought was all that impressive.

I have considered Canon. If I had more money I'd get a 20D. It's definitely more about marketing. Olympus has been around forever but not too many people know about them.
Most stores seemed to agree that the Olympus is better than the Rebel XT, but I didn't do much research into it. The 2 lens deal, and the dust filter sold me.

Sometimes after 5pm, when there are no more meetings with clients and it gets quiet, we loosen our ties and break out the soccer ball for a little office footie. Sometimes it gets a little competitive. Sometimes things get broken. Sometimes it's hard to explain the broken stuff and scuffed walls.
Luckily, the cost of constant repair and renovation is built into our profit margin.

Spent the night in Windsor. Usually Windsor is just a particularly nasty day trip for me, with meetings sandwiched between two numbingly dull three hour drives.
But last night the meetings went long, so I grabbed a room at a hotel on the river. (I should the mention that the bed was at least three times the size of StrongMad's). Paid the extra ten...

Really? What's in Australia?
And I want dimensions on this alleged bed. I call bullshit.

Felt like crap all day. Turns out all I needed was a piece of toast with peanut butter and cheddar cheese.

So choice.

Well, I can cook pretty well, and I love doing laundry, and I don't mind so much doing dishes...

Admit it, you'd be flattered. 
I was pulling out of the underground garage at work this morning. It was icy and wet. My tires spun a touch as I turned into traffic. At the lights, an old man came running up to my window yelling "if you want to spin your tires, go back to World War II", then he showed me a picture of a field of flowers on...

Was it a nice picture of flowers at least?

That's what I like.
A client just gave me a Romeo y Julieta Churchill - imho, the finest cigar ever made.
Now I just have to find a reason to smoke it; it being a celebratory sort of cigar.

Ah, home from work at 10:14 on a Friday night. Rock.
Who am I kidding? I'll probably take a fifteen minute breather and then VPN into the office.
In the meantime, I have a hankering for a hunk of cheese.

I'm horny, and I really really really wanna orgasm right now. Damn you for bringing that up. I hate doing it all alone... GAH.
I don't want to be an alarmist, but I'm certain that it's precisely zero degrees Kelvin outside.

One of my neighbours, a few houses down the street, still has his Christmas lights up. So I killed him.
I think the favourite thing about my roomate is that when I asked him if he'd rather be a vampire or a werewolf, without hesitation he answered "Oh, werewolf. No contest."
I was telling my friend in Australia about how we had polar bears rooting...

Me too. But it was the lack of hesitation that won my heart.
It's 15C in Toronto right now. I'm no good at converting; something like nine hundred farenheit? The next day like this probably won't come for two or three months.

When I first got to law school, I was asked to join the debating club. I went out to a few meetings and won top speaker and top team at the first tournament. At that tournament, I met a 17 year-kid from the Yukon, named Jamie. I was 29 and the kid almost handed me my ass. He was a crazy little fucker with bright...

no words i can find, express how i admire the people that have done so much in this time, and although we all do what we can, it never feels enough when hearing stories like that.
my respect goes to him and everyone who has done anything, big or small, to help with this disaster.
