In Today's News...

NHL fines fan $89,000 for putting up a homemade "Go Habs Go" sign during play offs...

LinkedIn goes public, trading at over $100 per share, net income at 15.4M and revenues of $243.1M - maybe it's time to re-jig my investments...

Winnipeg is getting it's hockey team back, most likely...

So my gold investments was a wise decision...

And finally, the see-through frog!

Artistically Speaking

I started a project of very great artistic proportion.
However, my computer is in surgery and I can't track it's progress.
And...
I lost a paint brush in my room which cost me $57.49 to purchase...
In looking for it, I found:
  • a sock
  • a cordless phone
  • my favorite pencil (lost about a year ago)
  • numerous hair ties
  • a puzzle
  • The book "choke" - always wondered where that went
  • an expired yogurt (fortunately unopened)

Can I Plug?

I was at Starbucks today and happily found 2 plugs in the wall to use because I needed them.
I had my headphones off - hoping to deter any comments/questions/conversations/anything requiring my acknowledgment as I worked to restore my computer.
This weird little man comes and sits down with me and tries to talk with me and I mean WEIRD. I tried to pretend I didn't hear him the first time, but he actually waved at me in front of my screen.
He said I see you're working hard and the internet is working. HUH?
I have an air card, but I didn't get into that. I barely smiled and shoved the ear phones back into my ear hoping it was a sign I did not want to talk.
Then he waved me again and said "can I plug? can I plug" pointing to the plug.
Normally I have more patience than this, but if I'm plugged into both sockets don't you think there's a reason? There are no signs in Starbucks that says I need to SHARE. AND he did not purchase anything. I bought an effing six dollar frappa something or another just to use the plug & be left in peace.
Because of his frantic waving I ended up leaving and sitting in my car going about my business.
Why are some people SO clueless?
