Funny, sub, as I can partially relate to this story. The first time I saw a cellular phone, I remember wandering through my downtown home city, Portland, and a very distinguished, clean-cut looking man in a nice business suit passed us talking into what looked like a large gray-colored brick with a black antenna. Being only a child, I pointed at the cell phone, tugging my mom's hand, and loudly asked, "mom, what is that thing?" "It's a portable cellular phone," she replied.Quote:

Had a shift, was going to do some chem afterward, but was too tired/lazy and went doodling/making up stories instead. It was fun but didn't make me feel good. :(
Also, I really hate people who list The Da Vinci Code first as one of their favorite books. Worse if that's their only favorite book. Okay, so let's read only what everyone else has read and thought good and then have the same opinion. Geez.

I agree Ajoe, some people like to say they have read books just to be kind of snobbish and up to date. I haven't read the Da Vinci Code but know someone that has and they thought it interesting enough, but a bit too long and full of impossible coincidences - not the best book in the world.
I have just finished reading a book called Forever Today by Deborah Waring. It is about a man who has had his memory almost completely wiped out by a virus. The only thing he remembers is his wife and that he loves her. Every moment is the one he just woke up in. He keeps a diary to keep track if his days but can't understand the former entries where he has written that he just woke up. Because he doesn't remember being awake then, so he thinks the entry is wrong...even though he might have written it only a couple of minutes before.It is a true story and I couldn't put it down. It's impossible for such a story to have a happy ending, but miracles do happen and the book does have a happy ending.

We moved to new floor, same building and they put my table exactly infront of The Country Manager's Office...I said "damn"...Now I feel like as if I', being watched, from 8 to 5...I can't make jokes with my friends anymore..worse I can't eat in my table..:(
does anyone know what r with a ^ over it means in reguards to ellipses?
^ What the hell man? Are you also still taking calculus because you like torturing yourself? :o
I either haven't gotten to that part yet or I've just forgotten all about it, so can't help.
@sub: is saying "damn" has that bad of an effect? and did you really say "damn" or just something else to that effect?
Hey Fool, can’t help you too much with ellipses, (or para-bolas or hyper-bolas for that matter). ‘Bout all I remember from calculus is: although the Taylor Expansion Theorem wouldn’t necessarily solve an integral equation – it’d get you close enough.
sheesh, I wish I could remember. unfortunatley my favorite calc book is packed iin a box somewhere in another state.
I actually thought he was speaking of Czech R with the sign above... wow, I can turn maths into linguistics, and I'm proud of it!
More Ranting (different subject however)
Ok, I have just returned from my local bar/restaurant where along with a couple of my friends we were celebrating the end of the days exams and taking advantage of the cheap food night.
After we were done the bill came to $65 (cdn), so we threw down $70, and proceeded to get on our coats to leave. It was at this point that our waitress returned and queried the size of tip we had left her (she was of the opinion she should have recieved more).
I disagree with tipping at the best of times (sure as hell no-one ever tips me for my work - I work in a hardware store part-time), however to come up to a group of customers and ask why you didnt get a bigger tip is imho the height of bad manners. We are quite obviously college students and have very little spare cash as it is, needless to say she managed to put a decent downer on what was to be a relaxing night.
Before we left we all emptied the pennies etc. out of our wallets and left a note for her telling her that we hoped she enjoyed spending it.
Another rant over
Random Thought:
Why AMUSE is no longer in invinsible mode???? ;)
Invisable mode???
Kilted: I have had a similar expieriance, 'tis just bloody rude! I hate it when waitresses/waiters do that.
hehe, you noticed? :D
just seemed even if i hadn't time to say 'sup to everybody 'twixt homework breaks, it would be a hello of sorts - no wondering if someone's car had tried to kiss me yet again! (i did tell you guys about the one last week that accelerated towards me on a red light?)
in other random news, i spent saturday with a lively, gregarious, wonderful 4-yr old - my love's son, and his random thought of the day was "asha, you need a cage."
??? :eek: ???
turns out he wanted me to get pet birds just like him! :p :D
Ye have very bad luck when it comes to carriages of the motor persuasion!~ :D
