the most boring blog post ever
iPhones are awesome and that event only increased your iPhone lust.
Those text messages were awesome and he thought they were very funny. At some point I guess you’ll have to meet him.
You missed the discussion about the “many peoples in the building” poster in the cafeteria. And children’s plates make food fun. And a good proportional size.

the most boring blog post ever
matthewgruman:
Yes. I am the reason why Matthew experienced ‘burb cheese. Props to me and my fancy just outside of the city style.
alphalemon:
I was visiting my friend in the burbs and we ended up going shopping for groceries for reasons that are too boring to explain. When I noticed how cheap cheese is in the burbs I pointed at a MASSIVE block for 7 dollars and squealed. Then I...

BC Highest Rates of Child Poverty - 6th year
BC is leading the country again for the 6th year in a row for child poverty. I’m ashamed to say I had no idea that we had the highest child poverty for the last 5 years - let alone 6.
Big time shame on the goverment. Seriously. I just wish I knew what I could do to stop it besides lobbying the government.

Cheap skating returns!
The Robson Square ice rink downtown is finally opening again next Tuesday! It will be open every day from 12 - 9pm and only costs $3 to rent skates. It’s free if you have your own.
Sounds frickin’ awesome to me. And if you’re hating the Christmas shopping crowds, there’s something sharp handy to cut your way through.

Good news bad news
Good News: I’m going to work with the USA Olympic Committee to speak German with a German speaking coach.
Bad News: My current contract with work probably won’t be extended past December because no one has any money. Boo.

“Behavior outside of public order is prohibited”
– Translink sign at Lougheed Mall Sky Train Station. The definition of “public order” leaves a good deal of room for interpretation.
I’m glad to see Translink is communicating effectively…

“plate breaks during cake cutting
guy I don’t know : is the cake...”
Insomnia when you have mono is the most ironic thing I have ever experienced.
And it blows.
Coffee Beans
Courtney: Coffee. I love you so hard.
Natalie: Do you want to take it out behind the bleachers and get it pregnant?
Courtney: I already did! We're expecting coffee beans in November.
Niiiiice. Bonus points if you get my pop culture reference.
Natalie: Hey have you seen my new kleenexes?
Matthew: No? *inspects domestically challenged Sniff kleenex*
Natalie: Pretty cool, hey?
Matthew: *sniffs them* They don't smell like anything.
Natalie: ... They're not supposed to.
Matthew: *sees that Sniff is the brand of Kleenex not instructions* Oh.
Natalie: OMG. Did you seriously just do that? Awesome.

Alice in Wonderland
According to imdb.com Stephen Fry is going to be the Chesire Cat and Alan Rickman is the Catepillar. This movie is going to be insanely good - Jeeves and Professor Snape in a movie together!
If only Hugh Laurie and Rowan Atkinson could be in this movie then all of my favourite British actors would be in it.

Transformers 2
Maybe I’m getting old and I don’t get excited by shiny action films anymore or maybe, *gasp* Transformers 2 is actually mediocre.
Here’s how I would sum up the movie:
Vomit inducing 360’s with the camera This technique is used over and over again to jazz up some scenes and make them more epic when there are people / robots talking about the non-existant plot, getting...

What a Guy Doesn't Want
Natalie: >.>
Natalie: I want to kick you in the balls
Natalie: that's how much I find this not funny
Matthew: :(
Matthew: i think i'd rather get bows in my hair
Natalie: :D
Matthew: but that's not like an invitation to give me a choice
Natalie: choice?
Natalie: who said there was
Natalie: I will just pounce you randomly
Matthew: the guy wants neither bows in his hair nor feet in his balls
Natalie: wow

“Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?

– Ich lieb’ mein Vater.
The rest of the poem gets creepy but this first bit make me think of my dad looking after me. Just substitute Knaben with Maedchen, etc.

Little Kids Are Fun
Took my friend, her friend, and their little 2.8 year olds strawberry picking today. I tried to keep an eye on Mica while her mom picked strawberries but apparently I have no sway.
Me: Hey Mica, don't eat the strawberries! They go in the bucket!
Mica: *takes strawberry out of her mouth*
Me: That's good. Thank you!
Mica: *starts squishing them between her hands, having the strawberry juice go all over herself*
Me: Awesome.
Mica: *big smile*

Ice cubes vs. Liquid Nitrogen
We ganged up on a friend who is an uber science geek. It was fun to see him get frustrated. (Paraphrased for sanity's sake - this conversation went on like this for a long time)
Peter: Liquid Nitrogen is the coldest you can get.
Brett: What if you put an ice cube in the liquid nitrogen (LN)? Would that make it colder?
Peter: What? No! It would melt!
Brett: Huh? Why would it melt if LN is the coldest? Wouldn't it freeze?
Peter: No, it's so cold that it would melt the ice cube!
Byron: That doesn't make sense, if it was cold it would freeze! Warm things melt!
Peter: *exasperation* No, you don't understand -
Me: ... what if you put 5 icecubes in the LN? Would that make it colder then?
Peter: *ala Charlie Brown* ARRGGHHH!
