...torrents are strange, but addictive things. I'm watching at LEAST one major sporting event a day, but no longer live. I also need to find some sort of auto racing torrent distro site like fbtz.com is for football. American football would be nice too, but it looks like the traditional sites will handle that no problem. (just surprises me that there's a dearth of NASCAR on them).
...kids are both a huge joy and a huge pain in the ass. Trying to organize a daytrip to Jasper for more than 4 hours is proving to be remarkably difficult...all because of kids. But watching Aislyn kick her legs off the bottom of the pool today and just float on her tummy (holding onto the wall) all by herself, without making a big deal about it or anything, was totally amazing.
...on the brink of winning my first-ever division title in Hattrick! If I win Saturday, it's mine!
...having a way to post to here from my car while driving would be ideal, cause that's where all the best thinking happens. Showers have never done it for me.
...Richard Cheese is very much worth a listen.
...no other game has caused me such joy and frustration as Football Manager 2005. It's simply unreal how it can eat up my life when it's going well, and throw me into fits of utter blazing rage when it's not. And how I never know which is going to happen when I play a match.

Here's a tip...
...for complaining.
I'm learning something. The angrier the complaint I get about the pizza I take orders for, the less likely I am to believe there's a real problem. The angriest customers always seem to be the ones demanding free pizza cause it's 5 minutes late, while the people who have waited patiently for two hours for a pizza that was never made, let alone sent, never seem to raise their voice or shout. It's a funny thing. You'd almost think that people who get all riled up are...trying to get something for nothing?
Nah.
In other news, I absolutely hate my job. Hate hate hate hate hate.

Cola Wars
Another observation from the front lines.
The Cola Wars didn't really do much in the way of changing peoples drinking habits, I've noticed, save to spread apathy amoungst people. Basically, when you get right down to it, cola tastes pretty much like cola, and the variations are minor to say the least. And after working in Pizza Hut for awhile, I can say with some confidence that 90% of the people, if asked to choose between Coke or Pepsi, would say, 'meh'.
The only place left? Vancouver. That's the ONLY place in Canada that I handle where people will actually NOT drink Pepsi when I offer it to them (despite the Red logo, the 'Hut is decidedly Blue when it comes to drinks). I have to wonder if it's some sort of ingrained rebellion, challange everything spirit that the Vancouverites have, or just delusional thinking that there actually IS a difference.
Giant Robots prefer RC Cola, all things considered.
