Mini Ritz Sandwiches are da bomb!

Some unusual humor that I found through my extensive travels through the world of Wikipedia.. some famous epitaphs (writings on gravestones)!

My favorite, this one:

I lie somewhere over here
-Werner Heisenberg, as in Uncertainty Principle.

Don't get it? Click *here*. Hmm..mayhaps that explaination might be too confusing. Well the Heisenberg Uncertainly Principle pretty much means that it is impossible to accurately predict an electron's exact speed at a certain position in space. Either one or the other, but not both. Get the epitaph now?? Eh eh eh?!?! Well I thought it was hilarious (from a chem geek point of view..)

Another one:

3.14159265358979323846264338327950288...
-Ludolph van Ceulen, he was so proud of his achievement, computing π (pi)
to 35 digits, that he ordered it to be inscribed on his tombstone.

Ingenious I say!

Ok, I'm exhausted from a day of work, pilates and more overtime work. I gotta get me some sleep. Better update soon!

Hugs,

The Ashburn, by Excel Homes

These are just a couple of the pics that I took with my cell phone at the showhome me and Darren really like. I forgot to take pictures of the upper floor of the bedrooms, but those are pretty self explanatory. But we love the main floor anyways...


The first half of the living room

$350,000 grand, 1300 sq.ft, 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and all the trimmings. *sigh*

On a snowy night at work......

So after watching this interview with Rain:



I realized how much Korean I forgot in such a short amount of time. A few months with no Korean influence bestowed upon me (ie: dramas, music, and other goodies) and I forget all that I've absorbed from before!! It's heartbreaking, really. But I think I'm pretty sure if I was to learn another language, I think Korean would be it. Well, I think the interviewer was so cool; I wish I can switch languages like that! Well, asian languages, I suppose =P

So it's gonna be a long night at work. Got a lot of stuff to run, since I keep on screwing up on stuff. Ah wells. OT it is! What to do when you're on call eh? I'm glad that I now got my brand new PHONEEE..so I can listen to mp3s now at work heh heh =P But seriously, pulling overtime really bites sometimes. Especially when you're just dying to go home cause you're really hungry and it's past dinner time...and you miss your bed. Boo hoo...


Ho hum, I found this on youtube the other day, and I thought it was most interesting:



Now, I'm really indifferent to Jin. I liked how he was all "representin" and everything during his time with Ruff Ryders and how he could do those rap battles and win them all. Hey, I thought he was pretty nifty! Buttt...I'm not fond of this...song. I feel that it's a bit cheesy, pretty cocky, and doesn't really speak for anything. And since when there was aminosity toward ABC/CBC Chinese? That was a bit of a shocker. Being CBC myself, I wasn't aware that there was a problem. But whatever. Hey, to each to his own, right?

Me and Darren went looking at starter homes a few weeks ago. We liked some, didn't like some, but all we got from it was one conclusion: it's all too damn expensive! I took a couple of pictures of the one showhomes that we liked...(I'll post them up when we get home, since after much time searching on this laptop, I realized it has no infrared port...bah!)...and that was a topper, at $350000. What a heartbreaker. How are we able to afford anything? The housing market in Calgary isn't going to be any better this year; in fact, it'll go up if it's anything. Oh dear....hopefully we'll be able to find something a bit more affordable, and isn't out to Airdrie, and that we like. *sigh*

Hungry, hungry...

Ah..off to load another test soon..must get ready. Toodles!
