I hate people who aren't aware of their surroundings.

Again, I must reinforce my point that the Dairy Queen at Admiral's Walk is THE best Dairy Queen I have ever been to. Possibly the best in Greater Victoria and maybe on Vancouver Island. I'd even consider betting on the fact that it could be the best in BC or even all of Canada. But I really haven't been to that many DQs. I had the Chili Meltdown Burger the other day...a break from the Flamethrower. It was excellent...messy, but excellent.

While at DQ, I couldn't help but notice this girl that came in. Not that I was checkin' her out...she has big boobs, but wasn't super hot or anything. I just noticed that she seemed to be having trouble deciding what to have. She went out to her car at least twice to talk to her friend in the passenger seat, who apparently didn't want to come inside, despite being parked right by the front door. This girl, asked a few questions at the front counter, and hummed and hawed. It seemed she wanted a blizzard, but they either didn't have the flavour she was expecting, or she just really had a tough time making up her mind. I found it mildly amusing as I chowed down on my combo. She still hadn't made a decision by the time I left...so I dunno what happened.

I built a behemoth of a bed over the last few weeks. Effective Monday night, it is now in use. It's not perfect, but it looks pretty good I think. I may have to add a few reinforcements, but I believe it'll be pretty sturdy. The new sheets my mom bought me are nice too...300 thread count and the fitted sheet claims to never pop off (a huge problem and peeve of my previous bed and sheet). I like it.

My trusty little truck almost ran out of gas (again) the other day. It started to sputter and I knew I had to find a station asap. I headed for the Esso at Craigflower and Tillicum. After rounding the connector between Lampson and Tillicum, the balls dropped out and the truck had no power. The engine was still running and I could rev it, but as soon as the clutch was out, there was nothing happening to make the wheels go. I must have truly been running on fumes. I managed to make it up the small hill by popping the clutch repeatedly, everytime getting a small jerk forward and finally rolling into the gas station. That was close. I've run out completely a couple of other times...not fun.

I need to branch out in the meals I make. I keep making the same things over and over. While good...I think more variety would be better. Send me your suggestions or recipes.

I squander entirely too much. I really need to work my finances better. I'm a very wasteful person...generous sometimes, but wasteful. Spend less, save more...my new motto (for this week anyways). Come to think of it, I didn't have an old motto...

I need to get back into the habit of posting when I think of something to post. I know I had a buncha stuff I thought would be good to post, but I've now forgotten it. Bugga!

I really gotta get some fish for that aquarium of mine...
