Dec. 17th, 2005 10:13 amOk, one random big post.
First, what is going on. Still cleaning the room, still working a bit on rebuilding the network. I'm kinda loosing interest in that, at the moment. I've been in my room for too long, i need out. NOW!
I'm starting once more to seriously consider going somewhere in the USA/Canada. I got about 1500$, so i'd be fine for travel and food, i'd just need places to stay. I got a few people who said they could give me a place to stay, but i'd need to find some either along the west coast, or south of New York along the east.
Other than that... Some of you might have heard about a police officier that got killed in Laval. That was a few streets away from where i live. Kinda worrying to learn that someone like that lived just a street away from the two elementary schools, and in front of a park.
But something somewhat funny happened. As soon as i heard about what happened, i went there to see what was going on with my camera and usual photo equipement. The police was there and blocking the street, telling people to go away. When they saw me, they just pointed somewhere past where they turned people around and told me "go there with the others". I didn't really say anything, since this was where i wanted to go anyway. Then it turns out that this was an area for the news reporters and journalists. Once again, my camera made me be mistaken for one.
So i ended up wandering around in the area, taking pictures of stuff. I even ended up invited when the police chief came to explain the situation, which resulted in me being visible in the background on the right of the guy during the news. I was kinda just wandering around, trying to find a good spot to listen from, so i just walk in the picture, disappear, then reappear and look at the camera.
I ended up getting phonecalls about that, some people recognised me on tv.
Other than that, not too much. I'm partially back on Guild Wars, since some friends got the game. I hadn't played for weeks until now...
Also, if anyone needs a computer for christmas, or has a family member looking for one, or who knows someone who has a family member looking for one, or anything like that, feel free to refer them to me. I kinda need money, and i know how to make good systems for cheap...
Another fun thing... 45cm of snow!!! Wheee!
All that fell yesterday. Which caused me to not go to bed at 7h00 as expected, because it turns out i had to park the truck on the other side of the street. So i had to shovel to get the truck out, then dig a parking space on the other side, and also clear the sidewalks and and all around the house. Took about 2h to do all, then i had to go to the bank and stuff, then...
The result of all that was me not going to bed until around 14h00... It was funny, at that point i was seeing floating white dots and the world was spinning very fast.
And i need to go shopping now. Christmas furmeet tomorrow, gift exchange and stuff, need to get things.
There's some other stuff i'd probably want to write about, but i'll wait until i'm not trying to do everything at once.
Late addition:
The best reaction so far from family who recognised me on TV.
My Uncle: Hey did you know that (Pyx) shaved?
My Aunt: How do you know that?
My Uncle: I saw it on the news!
... and i was trying to keep it secret that i shaved until i showed up at the christmas party.
