Yesterday we got up to

+30 and I'm glad I got out of lifting that hide-a-bed out of here because I had a heat stroke in the morning that lasted pretty well much all afternoon. It was brought about by my sinus condition bit I feel a bit better although we could have used the AC unit on. I was in bed before midnight. 

Still working on my Warhammer 40K Space Wolf summer read and wondering if I should get the online or print version of What dwarf magazine. I'll probably get the online version because I own an iPad anyway.

Currently on my mind is a major decision city council is going to vote on Wednesday. It's to decide to borrow the money for a new downtown arena. People don't realize that Rexall place was built with public money. At the moment it wont be the end of the world or anything if city council votes "No." The Oiler's will still be at Rexall. It means the Oiler's will still have the oldest arena in the league and about 2-3 billion dollars worth of projects in the area that would not be developed if the arena does not go through. Plus if we don't build it now, it's going to cost a lot more a year or even 2 from now. Also, the tax benefits to city coffers is huge, like about $160 million/year. 

Anyway, it's a regular back to work day for me. I wish we could start at 8:30am and leave at 4:30pm but I'd lose an extra half hour. Anyway, it's a long day ahead for me. That's all for now.

I've been doing a lot of

running around all this week getting my Government ID and bank statements. I've got to go down to Scotia and get one from them this morning and watch, there's going to be 10 people in the line up on a Friday afternoon. if that's the case I'll see if I can get this done by way of ATM but I need to talk to someone at the counter anyway on how to go about a Scene CC and a current bank statement. I'm sure for the Scene CC I'll need to fill out the application. 

Today it's a 7.5 hour day instead of 8 because of Fridays people want to go to the bank that sort of thing. I'll go to my RBC and I'll need a bank statement from them from the ATM and then I'm done with all of this stuff. This is probably why we were passed over because this stuff wasn't on our file 3 years ago. I'm wondering if they'll pro rate this because of the previous 3 years we had to wait and pay us for the waiting time? I doubt it. After RBC, it's home and I'm done with all of this crap from CRHC so we go through all of this to wait another 3 years mainly because immigrants get first crack for subsidy and the rest of us stand in line? I don't know if that's the case but it seems that way.

I was able to do a bit of recording in FL Studio a work around in creating a double track, so that's ok. There could be typo's and spell'o's within this post but right now I I'm in a bit of a hurry and at the moment I don't really don't care. Anyway, that's about all for now.

I woke uup this morning with a huge headache

I went to bed this morning with a splitting headache about 2am. When I woke up to take my insulin about 6am the headache was in full bloom. I don’t know if it was a headache but I felt hot and cold spells for awhile. Similar to what happened when Anne took me to the medic clinic in early January. I didn’t make much of a fuss though as I didn’t want to alarm my wife. I passed out on the couch and I woke up feeling fine about 8am and went back to bed. I had a good 4 hours from there. I feel great right now.

Saturday after work I picked up the speaker dock for my Itouch. There are several varieties of this thing found on Ebay. The other variety might look better but it fits into the re-charge and sync port of the Itouch but this one fits into a headphone slot so I can use it while I’m charging up my Itouch and on my computer as well. It takes 2 triple A batteries. I really like the one I have and it does the job even though it looks a little wonky:

Saturday night I sat on the couch about 8pm settling into watch a historic CFL game. The first BC Lions Home game out doors since 1982, 28 years ago at Empire stadium to a packed crowd of 28,000. Now I’ve never been in the Empire before but the Empire played host to Elvis and the Beatles. The Lions lost the game against a talented Rider offence. BC place is undergoing renovations, which is why the game was played there at Empire. The PNE is directly in front of it and I recall dad taking us kids to the PNE all the time in the early 1960’s. Yesterday in between Doctor Who commercials I was watching the Alouette’s/Esks game. The Esks were actually winning at the half 21-11 despite a couple of botched long passes. The receivers actually had the ball in their hands but couldn’t hold onto it, without pass interference calls. In the 2nd half it was all Montreal as they won 33-23. Now the Esks have lost their first 2 early season games in a row. First time this has happened since 1959!

Speaking about the Doctor Who episode yesterday “The Lodger,” was another excellent episode. I missed the David Tennant era but Space repeats these just before the Matt Smith, current episodes. Today I managed to stumble upon the “Wikia Doctor Who Tardis file index” and bookmarked it. This is an awesome resource for Doctor Who fans.

Tonight is another edition of Monday night Raw and apparently we’re getting our new room manager in today, if he’s not their already. Anne suggested I take today off but we’re usually short staffed on a Monday and with a new room manager aboard it doesn’t make me look good beginning my first day with this guy having it off. I wanted to go in early today but what with that headache earlier, I wasn’t in any shape to go in early. Tuesday I will. Anyway, that’s all for now.
