Too recap events

from yesterday I woke up at noon missing my 11am alarm. I'm scrambling to shave, shower, feed the cats, get my stuff to lock up and catch the buss across the street. The weather was a bit cooler but pleasant in the Sun. I was able to read from "False Gods" waiting and on my bus trip to Northgate Centre. I was in the PCN waiting area for my 1:30pm appointment but I forgot the star attraction: My glucose reader. We agreed to increase the dosage fro 18-20. My next appointment is next month.  

So I was able to visit with the Social Worker and our combined income put us over the qualifying threshold. The wasn't much they could do for us. But the support worker booked me a appointment with someone in AW to help me with resume writing and job search and possibly benefits.I hope to get a call Tuesday.  

So after that as I was walking out into the mall, the sw said my wife was calling. After dialing to get out the phone wouldn't let me go through. I went to use the pay phone but the line was busy. Probably Anne calling me still at PCN. I said "F" this and went upstairs to the food court Taco time, Chinese food, too expensive. Instead I left out of the mall and walked over to my bus stop by Church's Chicken. It came by right away. The weather was still holding out. I had minimum waiting for my bus and home by 3:30pm. Anne made me something to eat and I got cleaned up and made a few lodge calls and head out to lodge. 

I had a great evening making minimum amount of mistakes with with dignitaries joining me in the East. It was a great night. Beers "This night only" were $1 each, wow. I had a good time at lodge last night.

For today, I'm at my usual 5-9 and working all day Saturday. Sunday I'm off for WEM and Wrestlemania. Anyway, that's all for now.

What the iPad 5 is coming out later this

month? Yeesh. My iPad 3 is barely 18 months old and there is no way I'm going to break down and buy the latest and greatest. If apple decides to bail on their previous gen iPad's and stop their os upgrades at the iPad 5, Apple loses my credibility. They did this with my iTouch 4.2.1 3rd gen and I can't upgrade the software beyond what I have. As long as we can access iTunes and do face time and I can access the net that's all I need. That doesn't mean I'm going to go onto Android. I'm about to wash my hands with the whole mobile tabs phones everything. All I need is my home internet especially after my iPad was hacked. Our Big 3 service providers wont put a usage cap freeze if the account goes over it's limit. Please Verizon come into Canada we need competition. The real value for me for a tablet is reading eBooks and I can get a Kobo for about $150 and Kobo supports ePub. 

On Coast this evening they have a great poll: "How would you prefer to be paid "Cheque or Direct bank deposit?" That's the way I'd like to go. DBD all the way. Most respondents felt the same way.    

I had a pretty good day today even though the file I had looked like there was about an hours worth of work in it. I thought, great, maybe I can ride the train for awhile and have a nap before the next shift starts. Sure enough the boss comes back with another large file. Rats. That's good though because that and what I had this evening gave me a full day. By 7:40pm I was played out but I had a break ahead of me and I went to Subway and got a coffee. They had the "Tour Alberta" bike race and part of the route went by our building. After work I was relieved to catch my train home and a bunch of "tour" fans boarded my train at Churchill station. Its all good.

Spider man does it again! Thanks to Coast for this. A 69 year old man was concerned about the cost of his daughters wedding. He remembered a old box of comic books he had stored away. Inside there it was The Amazing Spider-man no.1! He paid 12 cents for it in 1963. He sold it for $7,000.The story gets even more interesting but you can read about it here.

I got 5 hours tomorrow and some banking to do, going in with my wife. Anyway, that's about all for now.

I had a decent day despite the storm we had

rolling in about 2pm. It flooded some areas of the City but nothing like what they had in Calgary as the City is in clean up mode.  

So is Edward Snowden a Hero or a Spy? If he goes back to the US, his days are numbered. He won't get even close to a fair trail before something "Ahem " happens to him. Right now Snowden is US Government public enemy #1. It's an interesting story.    

I'm watching out for the NHL off season as the Oiler's look like they are going to make some significant moves to get bigger forwards. Also, to finally move Nikolai Khabibulin. The NHL Draft is on Sunday and I have a long weekend.

I've been doing some fascinating early history of the Order Templi Oreintis (OTO) "research" from some articles out of the OTO phenomena site. I had a link to this awesome resource on my other site before. The research I was looking into is on a intriguing fellow Rudolph Steiner. Steiner was a member of the the Theosophical Society in Germany and the research I was looking into is whether or not Steiner ever joined the OTO. Before Aleister Crowley took over the OTO the original OTO had a lot of European Masons getting cozy with the OTO. More Masons had a appetite for the Theosophical Society then the OTO however. More on this later.   

I had a great evening as I finally figured out (Thanks to YouTube) how to work Native Instruments Battery 3. it works better in FL Study rather then in Cubase. Anyway, that's all for now.
