All about time

It's been a while without an update. There's so much going on that I can barely keep up. Work is crazy, I've been working like crazy, Darrell has been working crazier. And my internet at my house isn't working properly, SaskTel is sending someone out next week to swap out my router (they wouldn't let me do this myself, eyeroll). And Facebook has been blocked at work. So no I haven't fallen off the edge of the planet, I'm still here.

The Bunnyrat is settling in. Once I get my internet back at my house I will be posting lots of pictures. I bought my Bunnyrat a bunny. It's stuffed and squeeks, but he really likes it. He follows it around, and washes it. I bought him a big chewable ball with a bell in it. It turns out he's scared of bells. He keeps a pretty close eye on that ball. He also hates alfalfa sprouts. I really like them on sandwiches though. I'm trying to get him more used of being picked up, it seems to be working, he'll relax while you're carting him around for a little while now. I'm trying to get it so that I can flip him upside down and put him in a trance without him freaking. I'm almost there, it'll take some more practice.

Last weekend my parents came for a visit. Although, I dunno if they came to visit me as much as they came to visit The Bunnyrat. I saw lots of family last weekend. It was nice. I also found some bar stools for my kitchen island. After a long time looking I found some perfect ones. One has a red seat, the other has a blue seat and they have a stainless steel one post design. They fit perfectly in the kitchen.

I've been looking for some new jobs as well. I actually found one in Saskatoon that I would like. I applied for it, so we'll see what comes out of that. They said they'd contact me next week. So I'm crossing my fingers.

This weekend is a symphony weekend. Darrell and I are going to the Station Place Restaurant, (fancy restaurant in Saskatoon with an old tymey train car/station theme), and then to the symphony. They're playing some Shostakovich and have a guest violinist. Exciting. Also I'm having a Wii party tonight with work friends. (Non gamers thought it was small party, a wee party, I was amused)

Dave got an interview for where I currently work. I hope he gets it, I've been making some good plugs for him in management. It would be nice to have him here in Saskatoon again. Although time is of the essence these days, I notice Enobong and Robin have both left me messages, and I haven't found time to phone em back yet. Once I get the work thing fixed everything will just fall into place again and I won't have to explain to people that I'm not dead.

On an entirely different note, CBC has based a tv series off one of my favorite books, jPod by Douglas Coupland. I had such high hope for this series, because I just loved the book. I was thinking the show would have the lovable monotone well developed characters like The Office, crossed with the narration of Arrested Development. Would that not be cool? But disappointingly, it's a poorly produced, and poorly adapted version of the novel. In some cases poorly acted. Alan Thicke is so cheesy as the father! So overacted. And the boss is a terrible character, they should have an actor that makes people think that this guy is for real. I have to admit the 2nd show was better than the pilot. And I really like the actor they have playing Cam Fong. Perfect fit. I'll give it another chance, I was just pretty overall disappointed with it. I wonder if Douglas Coupland will come into the series to play himself. (He wrote himself into the book, it was quite humorous and reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegut books).
