The lease is for a year so I ain’t budgin’ anytime soon. I’ve lived alone in the past but this will be considerably different given that I’ll be furnishing the place myself. My wallet’s been taking quite a hit…I hope it doesn’t continue on for too long. :|

For the longest time I have been relying on my Dell 2709w but since I don’t have that with me in Ottawa it’s been a little rough. On Tuesday, it finally decided to just give me a black screen.

Anyway, my Internet access will be slim on the evenings though I’ll be on MSN via my PSP. I’ll probably be spending this weekend at the office so I can try to get some stuff done and to also have access to a proper browser. ;)

You can communicate with me through email but I won’t be on IM clients much I don’t think.

Usually, it’s the kind of stuff you’d expect like adult content and other shady sites trying to get some linkback ratings. However, I found a rather different one today in the pot.

Maaaan, you know there is such thing in the web like search engine, http://google.com if you don’t, go there to understand why this post is bullshit

I guess I might’ve felt inclined to think it wasn’t spam if I didn’t find other blogs being hit by this same old comment, but I guess not.

And oh, I haven’t been blogging much because I’ve been on Reading Week. My regular scheduled programming will resume very soon.

I guess the optimal solution would be to just have a page that lists all of the wallpapers I’ve used. I’ll see about implementing that…at some point in time preferably between now and when I die.

Bad news is, as the title implies, is that there is no Internet there. I had some plans for blogging a series or two this season but I guess that’s not going to work out.

Why do I say “busy people”? Well, it’s because I came across this contraction while I was going over my Japanese for Busy People III textbook the other day.

加藤: じゃあ、今年の花見ははやくなりそうですね。
Kato: Then cherry-viewing might be early this year, mightn’t it?

Of course, Mr. Kato doesn’t really sound like he’s in much of a hurry if you ask me, but I digress…

While I’m quite sure I’ve seen this contraction before at some point in my life, it’s certainly not one that I use in speech or in writing. I’m not sure if this is a typo or not because it doesn’t appear to be grammatically correct if you replace the contraction with the actual words (or do I only think this because I don’t use this contraction?).

Have you heard someone use this contraction before? Have you read it somewhere? Do you yourself use it?

I coughed up 25 euros earlier for five days’ worth of Internet access. The regular deal is three euros for three hours but since I’m going to be staying here for a while, the receptionist told me about the other deal so I quickly took her up on that offer. On the topic of euros, their banknotes are really quite large in terms of its height. In fact, the one hundred dollar bill is so large that it sticks out like a sore thumb in a wallet. Very much like how I stand out like a sore thumb in this little town. I have only encountered one other Asian in this place so far with everyone else being white.

Anyway, I start work on Monday, more to come then…

They’re so scarce that it’s almost like they’re an endangered species.
