So I've been spending far too much time at work lately to do anything useful, but I have been around... I thought I would just drop a quickie journal in here to prove that I'm still (mostly) alive. Other than that, not much going on, although I am disgusted with the cost of gas lately. Do they really need to charge $1.25 a litre? Wasn't it odd that the prices of gasoline started skyrocketing when this stupid war in Iraq started? And do they really have a good excuse for ramming it up on a long weekend? I imagine it will be up around $1.30, $1.35 by the upcoming long weekend... Can you say usury? And why doesn't the government care? Because the gov't always gets its cut.

Anyway... I need to build a person website, but I have absolutely no desire to create anything anymore... and I'm currently saving up for a Canon 40D, a 1080p TV, and a 24" iMac. That's only, what? About $5000 total? Sheesh.

At least I should be able to breathe again after May 23rd when my current project goes to print... Maybe then I'll take a couple days off to decompress.
