today was a long day even though it really wasn't. i know - i'm contradicting myself. i took the train out to oshawa today for a job interview. the train trip alone took nearly 3 hours each way and by the time I got to oshawa, i was picked up by the manager and we headed back to the office to do the interview. interviewed for about an hour or so and then i was dropped off at the oshawa station. it was a long day because i left london at 8am and didn't get back home until nearly 7pm.

on the way back on the train from toronto to london, there was a switching problem about 5 minutes away from the london destination. we were forced to sit on the train and wait for the engineers to fix the problem. when they realized, after half an hour, that they couldn't fix the problem, they had to take the train past the station and back it up. it was frustrating because i felt like just breaking through the windows and walking out to the station. my frustration wasn't so much because i was in a hurry to get somewhere. it was because i had told my father to pick me up at 6 and i was already 40 minutes late. i hate making people wait because, well, i don't like it when people aren't punctual with me. treat others the way you want to be treated. enough with the preachy bullshit.

today i realized how non-exciting my life has been the last few weeks ever since coming home from my trip. next week i will need to make a decision about full time employment. hopefully i choose the right one. more details next week (hopefully).

I'm not informed enough to take sides on the issue, but this will likely never see the light of day in Canada or the US.

While I was in Toronto today for my interview with Sony, I decided to treat myself and buy a cd. I ended up buying the Morr label compilation putting the morr back in morrissey. This double cd compilation is the best electro compilation i've heard. The Warp 10+3 and Ninja Tune cds that I previously bought have a few stellar tracks, but unfortunately the filler tracks outweigh the good ones.

Oh and the Prefuse 73 and onelinedrawing albums also came in the mail today. yay!

What if Africa united and formed their own African currency. Would the new currency be called the afro? Yo I'd like to convert all my canadian dollars to afros. Craaaazy.

i'm back in canada. most of the hong kong photos are up now. i still need to upload the family get together pictures. i have one regret, though: not a single one of the photos that i took contain anyone with cell phones. make no mistake, cell phones and cell phone shops are literally everywhere. it's not uncommon to find many heads sitting at the same table in a restaurant all talking on cell phones at once. the people of hong kong like to talk. with affordable cell phone plans, it further confirms that talk is cheap. literally...
