IS THAT SO THONG?

Undoubtedly, if you’re a guy you’ve noticed the proliferation of these low slung jeans that young women are wearing. They ride really low on the hip. Women who wear these jeans invariably see fit to also have thong underwear underneath. How can you tell? It’s obvious when these women sit down. The jeans are low, and the straps of the thong sit high on the waist. Combine those two and you got some entertainment.

I was at the Lougheed Mall food court yesterday. As I made my way to KF… I mean the sandwich place, I saw this attractive woman at one of the tables. She was wearing the abeforementioned combination. I could plainly see the top of her pink satin thong above her jeans.

As I walked past, I thought, “Cool!”. Then, as I lined up for my bucket of chi… I mean BLT, I wondered is that really cool? Wouldn’t I be better off not seeing her thong? These women are plainly hot and there’s almost no chance in hell I’d ever snag any of them. By showing me a tantalizing piece of their underwear, isn’t that just mean? Aren’t they just saying, “Hey, have a tiny peek at my thong, nice huh? That’s as close as you’ll ever get… ha ha ha!”.

Now, had I not seen that food court thong, I would have turned my attention to getting fries… I mean a salad with my BLT. Wouldn’t ignorance be bliss in this case?

As I tossed the bones aside from my BLT, my thoughts changed though. No, I concluded, it is wrong to not want to glance at thong. Rather than view it as a taunt, I should view it as a gift, a bonus if you will. If these hot women are willing to show a little off, then we should appreciate what we are given.

End of story.

By the way, most men probably have already come to the same conclusion, and done it much faster too, but this is me.

T U L S A ? ? ?

I just checked my logs, and some one from Tulsa, Oklahoma visited today. This person appears to have bookmarked my site, since they bypassed my intro. I don’t know anyone from Tulsa. Who are you?

Today I did more packing. I came across a few packages I received shortly before I graduated from UBC in 1997. They were from five universities in Canada. Each one wanted me to do my graduate studies with them. Almost all of them were offering financial support.

At the time, I thought it was too soon, and I wanted to travel. I wonder though now, perhaps I could deferred their offers for a year, and started grad studies in 1999. It’s hard not to think about it now, as I scramble to see where my funding will come from this fall.

I could spend the entire afternoon thinking about where I’d be now had I accepted any of those offers. That wouldn’t be healthy though.

Hmmm… I better get back to packing and cleaning.

How did we surf the Internet with these damn things before? I can’t believe I have to wait until the 11th to get my ADSL back.

I WANT A LIGHTSABER

I can’t seem to get these things out of my mind. I’m totally geeking out on this. It’s an elegant weapon with a blade of pure energy. It makes a cool humming noise when it’s on. It makes an even cooler noise when you swing it. It can deflect blaster bolts. It can cut through blast doors.

I’ve seen a lot of movies. I’ve seen a lot of movie fights. The best ever fights are lightsaber ones. Just take a look here. The flash of the blades, the voom sound as they cut through the air, and inherent deadliness of the weapon, it all makes for very good entertainment.

I had a meeting with my two supervising professors today. We were discussing possible projects that had haptic interface design ramifications. All I could think about was, “Can I make a lightsaber for my master’s degree?”.

Wow, I’m such a geek. 😉

Ok, someone has to tell me where to find one of these in the Lower Mainland.

Because of my impending move, my ADSL is being disconnected sometime on June 1. I have a busy today (the 31st), so I wasn’t sure if I could get this post out on time. There’s also the chance they could pull the plug at 5pm today.

This means I’ll be without Internet access from the 1st probably to the 11th. That’s a long time without Internet. 🙁 Anyways, I’ll try to answer my e-mails somehow. Don’t expect my web page or my blog to be updated during this time. I’ll probably go through withdrawal, getting the shakes and sweats, but we’ll see how I do.

For those with a broadband connection and live close to me. Watch out, I’ll most likely be calling you for a taste of the sweet Internet.

I saw Attack of the Clones again tonight, this time in pure digital glory. This viewing was at the Silvercity Riverport complex in Richmond.

This was the very first film I saw using a digital projector. Was it better than a traditional projector? Yes, it was. Every frame was flawless. The images were bright and crisp. Things you usually see with a traditional print, like dust and dirt, were completely missing from the digital experience. Do you ever notice how a film stutters briefly when they change reels? This never happens with a digital projector. Also, have you noticed sometimes a weird oval appears in the upper right hand of the frame? This is an print identification oval. No such oval exists in the digital print.

I would say a traditional print could probably compete with the quality of a digital print on its’ very first showing. After that though, there’s no competition. Every time a strip of film goes through a projector, damage is caused to the print. A digital print will be just as flawless on the first showing as its’ 100th showing.

If you’re interested in learning more about digital projection technology take a look at this web site.

Thanks to Chris Dumaresq and to Chris Dellinger (thanks for the wings), for accompanying me to this most digital of experiences.

Wow, I’d love to see this thing in action!

Tsk, tsk… still no takers on my most generous offer below. Either you are all not on Shaw Cable or no one is reading my posts. What a shame…

Come on, free Internet is still up for grabs!

UPDATE

Through a miracle of some sort, ADSL has become available at my new address. Crisis averted! I will no longer be moving over to cable modem service. That is all.

As some of you may already know, I’m moving at the beginning of June. There are many unfortunate things about this move, but one of them is that I’ll be forced to give up my beloved ADSL for the dreaded Shaw Cable Internet Service. I put that in italics as I’ve heard and read many horror stories over the years about the Lower Mainland cable internet scene.

Well, if I’m gonna go down in flames, I might as well make it benefit someone else. Shaw Cable has this refer a friend program where if you refer someone and they sign on, you get a free month of service.

So, if you’re reading this and you’re using Shaw Cable Internet, click here for details on this program.

If you’re interested in getting a free month of Internet, e-mail me here and I’ll give you all the info so you can fill out the referral form.

I’m thinking I’ll do this on a first come, first serve policy, but I’ll take extentuating circumstances into mind (such as dire financial circumstances or the guy ahead of you is an asshole).

This is a great opportunity! Don’t delay! Contact me ASAP!
