Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
Figures. I thought Napster’s great new “to go” idea was too cool to be true. Turns out it is. There are only NINE players on the market that are compatible with the Napster to Go interface. Sure, you can go download music onto your PC until you’re blue in the face. However, unless you own … Continue reading Smash.
With the sale of the company today, the interview I was supposed to have at 2:00pm for my “dream job” at that company was cancelled. That position (and any new hiring) has been postponed indefinitely. It’s obviously time for me to look long and hard at the situation, and take my pro-active approach to finding … Continue reading This Blogger will Self-Destruct

I’m … Continue reading 1d10t

I can safely go to sleep with minty fresh breath, chalky residue on my tongue, and positively fortified with calcium – all in an effort to treat my “sour stomach caused by excess stomach acidity.” Please make … Continue reading Complaint
I was up freakishly early today. At least it means I get to leave work freakishly early as well. It doesn’t mean the day is going by any faster though. T-minus 2.5 hours until gym time. I seem to be entirely out of mojo. I can’t get no satisfaction. You know I’m feeling really down, … Continue reading Yes, we have no bananas.
