Posted by Sina in : Daily , add a commentSo let’s see, camping next Friday. Have to plan and organize everything. Just so you all know, my time is worth $13/hr.
Katie’s gone until Saturday, probably won’t see her until way after that. I wish I had a time machine.
I’m tired these days. I’ve been working out a lot. Can’t tell by looking though. But I can feel it.
I need to shave…too lazy…
Geez, I’m depressing, ain’t I? Wish me luck, I’ll need it.
What can we do to lighten up this space a bit? Hmmmmmmm. I always like to read Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin’s imagination cheers me up…..

Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had a goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

Posted by Sina in : Daily , add a commentI started teaching today. That was good. I can’t believe it: one of my students taking the 10-day Calculus crash course is only in grade 6!!!! Grade fucking 6, doing grade 12 calculus!! Unbelievable. Not only that, but she’s my best student!! Fucking insane. Just insane.
So I enrolled in all my courses, no problems. I have Tuesdays off, which is nice I guess because I’ve never had a day off. But then again, all my other days are more crammed. Oh well.
Let’s do something fun and cool!! This riddle MUST be done in your head NOT using a pen or paper.
Here it goes:
Highlight below for the answer
Did you get 5000? The answer actually is 4100. Don’t believe it? Try it with your calculator.
Happy calculating

Posted by Sina in : Daily , add a commentTerry, Mus, and I went to Playdium tonight. It was fun mostly. Some of the games were really stupid though. That’s okay, all and all it was good.
A Funny Story:
So at Playdium, I went to play Bust-A-Move (best game ever) but there was some blonde girl playing. So I figured we could play two-players. I ask her: "Mind if I jump in?" And what does she do? She squeels "Hey!!!!" and gives me this great big hug. "I haven’t seen you in sooo long!!" she whines. "Oh. Yah. Hey. How are you?" I reply. I am confused. I have no clue who this girl is. Do I know her? Who are you? But I figure I’ll just play along, I didn’t have the heart to tell her she just jumped onto a stranger. "So who are you here with?" she asks. "Oh, you know, just some people," I reply. "Some Toronto friends that I don’t know, huh?" "Yah, that’s it. Just some Toronto friends." We beging to play. I try to divert attention away from me. "So how are you? What’s up?" I ask. "Nothing really," she replies. She wins the first game. "There must be something," I protest, there’s no way I’m letting the subject get back to me. "Well, my basement flooded today from the huge rain storm. But I hear you guys didn’t get much rain down here." Down here? What do you mean ‘down here’? Where is this girl from? "Oh. Yah. Well. You know. I guess not. So your basement actually flooded? Wow, that’s crazy." "Yah, I know. It came down really hard back home. So how are things with you?" "Oh you know, things are things. Same old." She wins the next two games. Damn, she’s good. "What about you, what’s new in your life?" I ask. "Really nothing, I’m starting school in September." Yes! School! A subject I’m comfortable with. "Oh that’s good. What school are you going to?" She looks at me in disbelief. "I already told you that." Oh no, she’s on to me! "You did? When?" I asked trying to remain calm with my best poker-face. "Long time ago." "How long ago?" "I dunno." "Oh, well I forgot. Sorry. Where are you going?" Phew "Sarasota." Sara-what? Isn’t that in Florida? Is this girl American or something? That can’t be right. I must’ve heard wrong. Let’s leave that to be. "So when are you going to come back to Cambridge to visit?" she asks. Cambridge? Isn’t that in Massachusetts or something? I guess she is American. So does that mean I’m suppose to be American too? Uh oh. "Umm. I don’t know. Not for a while I don’t think. I don’t have the money to go all the way to Cambridge," I say, cleverly inserting ’Cambridge’ into the sentence to further my disguise. "What are you talking about? What do you need money for, it’s only a two hour drive." Two hour drive to Massachusetts? Something’s wrong here. OHHHH! She means Cambridge, Ontario!!! Okay okay, think Sina, think. How can you get out of this one… "Yah I know, but I can’t afford to miss a day of work." Sina, you’re a genius. "So just come down for a day or a weekend." DAMMIT! "I work six days a week." Good. "Oh, well I guess it’s tough for you then." Exactly, now let’s forget about me visiting you in Cambridge and let’s figure out how I’m going to get out of here before you realize I’m not the guy you think I am. "Alright, well it was nice playing and talking to you…" What’s her name? "but I have to get back to my friends, they’re waiting for me at the batting cages." I look at the time and around the building to make it seem as if I’m actually suppose to meet them somewhere. "I’ll talk to you soon, and maybe I’ll be able to come and visit." "Alright, have fun!"
True story….happened to a friend of a friend of mine. But rest assured, the next time some stranger jumps on me and gives me a big hug thinking I’m someone else, I’ll be sure to tell them RIGHT AWAY that they have the wrong person.

Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn’t, it’s that girls should stick to girls sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such.
Superposition July 13, 2005
Posted by Sina in : Daily , add a commentI haven’t updated this thing for a while, but I’m sure no one
noticed – no one actually reads this thing (I think there’s
only two of you who do). It was hott
today. Even hotter than Katie…oh wait, sorry, that’s impossible. We
went to Wonderland today: went on one ride (Italian Job), then Splash
Works, and then we decided to go home because we were getting heat
stroke. Until another day…I guess. It was hott.
Wow,
so there’s less than two months of summer left. Wow. I have to make
sure I get a chance to do all the things I want to do. More Wonderland
anyone? And the zoo, I want to go to the zoo. A WATERFIGHT! And ice
cream, I haven’t made ice cream all summer!! The summer spirit
must be angry with me, I haven’t enjoyed her the way I should.
I
start enrolling in courses on Monday, that’s depressing. So I
guess I should start thinking of what courses I want to
take. I also start teaching a calculus class on Monday.
So I finally get to make a bit of money. I hope that goes okay. Sigh.
I need some cheering up. Ice cream, perhaps? Save me.

Canada Day July 4, 2005
Posted by Sina in : Daily , add a commentCanada Day was great. Katie and I went to the beach, went for a walk on the boardwalk, sat, laid down, sunbathed, and did nothing. It was great. We had ice cream and then went for lunch/dinner at a small Italian bistro on Queen. After our meal, we went to Ontario Place to walk around the park eating BeaverTails, followed by our traditional tête-à-tête and fireworks atop the pod roof. It was cold and windy on the roof, but we kept each other warm under our blanket. The fireworks were great. Katie slept peacefully during the drive home. Nothing could have made it any more perfect.
Thanks love.
