i know the problem well.

sorry about that. i was trying new humanclick buttons and happened to kill the page for a few hours. everything (other than humanclick) is up and running again.

oh my. i have a feeling that i fucked up.

things i didn't know

death cab for cutie in seventeen
i can't help but find this strange.

"NARRATOR: Karen's son was born in that September. I gotta say, I think he looks like me. Poor kid. Mom, she did well: business woman, board chairman, grandmother...cooker of mashed potatoes. Wayne stayed on in furniture. Wood seemed to suit him. In fact he took over the factory two years later, when dad past away. Winnie left the next summer to study art history in Paris. Still we never forgot our promiss. We wrote to each other once a week for the next eight years. I was there to meet her, when she came home, with my wife and my first son, eight months old."
i just read that and started crying. last episode of the wonder years. god that was sad, in a happy way. i need to get my hands on a copy of that. sorry, no link here. i just wanted to say that.

obituary links page
i was looking at a kinder egg site (stop laughing at me) when i saw a banner ad for the "obituary links site." i couldn't help but notice that it was a rather morbid banner ad to have on a candy site... so i had to take a look.
now, it is obvious that someone put a lot of work into this page. my website hasn't been worked on nearly as much... and my website is about me. i find it odd that someone would care enough about finding all write ups about dead people to do this much work. maybe the site gets a lot of trafic and so the owner makes a killing (no bad pun intended) on banner ad payments. maybe i don't really want to know why someone would devote so much time to this.
anyway, if you are looking for an obituary this is the place to go.

alright, i know i sort of beat the topic of kinder eggs into the groud but i had to do this;
cadbury and barbie are ripping off kinder eggs. take a look for yourself. they just took everything that was orange and turned in pink. ta-da, barbie egg.
ok, there are some differences. the chocolate is thicker and it doesn't have the milky coating on the inside and the toy isn't put together by you. as you can see i got some sucky little crayons. they are smaller than my pinky and they don't work very well. did your parents ever buy you those cheap little crayons from china that worked about as well as drawing with coloured candles? these work slightly better.

sadly i have used the library, chapters and the hostel when my computer has been down. see, this is why i shouldn't take up smoking.

from the guardian
"The basic misperception here is to confuse amiability with integrity, marketable charm with ability. The truth, bluntly, is that Bush is an irresponsible know-nothing."
this is exactly what i was trying to say.
obviously biased (and a bit outdated) but still very interesting.

"Kinder Surprise - a chocolate, a toy and a great surprise every time! Ferrero"
one day while reading x-entertainment i found something shocking. you can't get kinder eggs in the us?! i couldn't believe it. did other people know about this? sure enough i found marn's entry about kinder eggs. we canadian's are a lucky bunch.
i think it's somewhat unfair. people are upset. they want their kinder eggs too, so why are these things so hard to find in america? well, because they could kill kids. you see the little parts could get caught in a small child's throat. now with warnings like this i'm not really sure what the problem is. it clearly tells you not to give these things to kids under 3. it tells you in more languages than you could believe (i have seen longer warning lists in these things before.) however they still have serious problems with the idea. nearly every country other than the us and africa sell kinder eggs.
some people have decided to sell kinder eggs only to us... you have to get at least 24 of them though. now i like kinder eggs but 24 is a little excessive. your fingers would hurt from putting together so many little toys. some places don't sell only to the us and have a lower minimum order.

kinder eggs are sold by ferrero who also sell nutella. you can find even more stuff about kinder eggs here.

it makes me happy to find good music on mp3.com, i especialy like the first song.

i need a non-web based e-mail address to get this
grrr.

eep
now i don't buy the ghost story for a second but it is a great way of selling this disturbing painting. just take a close look at this thing. the hands in the background, the life sized, eyeless doll, the look at that boy's face. i wouldn't want this thing anywhere near me while i was trying to sleep. that boy is pure evil. lovely photo tricks in the "stakeout" pictures.

how could i have missed this?

disturbing auctions
this site is great, it's just strange, disturbing crap that people found on auction sites. it's great for people who are too lazy to shift through all the half way ok stuff on ebay to find the real gems.

i almost forgot to tell you; remember back to when i sent the world's worst poem to the poetry.com people? (this is when entry linking would come in handy.) well they sent me a letter saying that they want to publish tear puddles. oh dear. no one told me there would be a clear space on the envelope so that anyone could read my poem. people saw this piece of crap! what does my postman think of my writing skills?

i'm sick of hearing this stuff
someone does not steal votes in an election. they earn them. if gore loses it is not nader's fault for stealing gore's votes. it is gore's fault for not earning the votes in the first place. anyway, i live in canada so i don't know why i even care
if there is anyone out there who is going to vote for bush can you please e-mail me and try to explain why? so far i have not found one person out there who says they are voting for him. also, if you are voting for gore and have a good reason please write and tell me about it. so far the only reason i have heard for gore is that he is the "lesser of two evils." and that is a pretty sad reason. it would really be of help if you could do this.

part of me thinks this guy is getting way too much enjoyment out of breaking this computer... and part of me wants to go look for a hammer.

time wasting calculator
it says you can use it to find out how much your time wasting is costing the company. i'd like to think of it more as how much you are getting paid to do crap like this.

old prime ticket shows
there is a lot of nice stuff here. as always the audio is good and the video isn't worth much, but who is really going to watch a whole show on real video?

oh dear
ever wanted to give off that 'it's cold in here and i'm not wearing a bra' look? i never have but if you are looking for a way to pull it off without going braless and turning off the heat, here you go.

if you like my drawing board (yeah, all 2 of you) go take a look at this.

i put the drawing/message board where the guestbook use to be. the guestbook had been down forever and i like little doodles better. so, feel free to draw something and save it.

is it just me or is this extremely disturbing?

what principal doesn't realise how much shit they are going to get in for doing this? talk about bad judgement.

what a lovely name, what a lovely site.

is there any way to change the colour of links in a certain part of a page without messing up the rest? i like the blue links here but on some computers i can't see them against the blue table. any help would be appreciated.

ha.

the colours were just too horrid. this looks much better.
