As The World Turns

Ahhh Sundays, supposedly a day of relaxation, contemplation, breakfast in bed, watching the snow flakes fall.

Naturally it was anything but this idyllic dream.

Since I slept at almost 4am last night (fixing you know who), I woke up a wee bit later today at 10am, wah snowing quite a bit, going to Banff today, I hope the roads are clear, don't want to get stuck in the middle of the highway.

I hopped into my metal chariot and scooted off to Banff for a Sri Lankan curried lunch (what I would do for some chicken rendang so this is the next best thing), grabbed some groceries and dvds to last me the week (hah! finally got Flightplan), dropped by Circuit City to salivate at a digicam. Just salivate for now, broke after pc bits and pieces.

So after ogling, sped home to finish off reassembling the PC, along the way back, saw a whole bunch of emergency vehicles by the road. Someone in a SUV had spun off the road, probably not on winter tires, the roads were pretty snow covered today, didn't take any pics, the blowing snow would have made for blurry pics (if I only had that digicam I was eyeing *looks around for sugar mummies*). The occupants looks to be ok, huge bank of snow to cushion them. The car was funny, the nose partly pointing to sky like its saying "why me?"

Fixed PC --> fast forward to now

Now as I type this, I am happily using my revitalised PC and finally got Sound Blaster quality music to pipe into my ears, ahhhhhhhhh Heaven. The old notebook I was using was not exactly ear soothing.

Digging through my CDs, I found this classic by Quincy Jones, The Dude. The most famous track is Just Once by James Ingram. Looking at the label, it was released the year I was doing my O levels. Good grief, that was like 24 years ago. How time flies.

Meanwhile I got another lesser known track also sung by James Ingram from the song up in the tune box. Gonna dedicate this to Jomel who's needs a little bit of lovin' right now...

Everyday should be like this, eat, sleep, play computer, watch snow flakes fall....but tomorrow is monday and the start of month end madness once again....yippee...I get to collect more hours off-in-lieu for my vacation! :o)
