I haven't updated in so long

It's seems like years since I've updated my blog, so here we go:

I don't have a job.

My girlfriend has a good job.

My rent is cheap but my Electric bill is expensive.

I just bought a fish tank last month.

I have lots of pictures.

I missed breakfast this morning, but made up with a big lunch.

and I haven't lost enough weight yet.

Anything else? probably, but that's for another post.

ODSP is messing with my life!

Ok, I should probably explain that since I've moved into the new place I haven't ben able to pay my rent on time.  The reason for this is that ODSP has decided to stop giving me direct-deposit and started giving me cheques.  They've done this because they had no record of me reporting my income for the month of October 2008.  I did report my income, but since it was exactly the same as September's income, they had no record of it!  So ODSP cancelled my income support, until I contacted them, which I did right away, and instead of doing direct deposit they gave me a late cheque for December.  Then again for January's income support, they give me a cheque, which I can only cash at an ATM since it's Christmas time, and then there was a hold on it for 4-6 business days (which is bank-speak for 2 weeks on Christmas).  This meant that for the second month in a row I had to pay my rent late.  The hold was released on January 2nd 2009, and I paid my rent (including $10 late fee) then, but forgot to phone my landlord to tell her I sent it to her.  So today I get a letter giving me two options, either pay double this month so I'm always ahead, or I'm out on my ass the next time I'm late!  That of course is a paraphrase, but it doesn't bode well for me.  I hope when I talk to ODSP tomorrow that they will explain all of this in a letter to my landlord so I don't get kicked out!

jSymphonic

There's a project on sourceforge.net that I'm invovled with, it's called Symphonic.  You can find it here. It's for uploading music to a Sony Network Walkman.

It's christmas, it's christmas time!

Yes it's that time of year again when all my friends gang up on me and buy me really cool gifts!  So this year I'm putting my wish list on my blog!

Kettle

Cheap Cell Phone

Socks                (mcGregor if you please)

Underwear      (fruit of the loom boxer briefs medium)

Jeans                (38x30  I'm short and fat!)

PS3                   (I don't actually expect to get this, but it's been on my list since last year)

For those of you that didn't get the pun in the title, it's from a Flight of the Conchords song.

My New Home.

Found a new place.... It's a small little bachelor on Haig St.  Just the right size for me.  Oh, and I have a new phone number.  It's really neat cause it runs only through my computer.  Check it out at http://www.vonage.com/softphone/

Finally an update!

Guess what! I'm moving! Yup, now all I need is a place to move into...

New Job

I have a few new things lined up for me. I will now be selling t-shirts and other apparel with custom printings and sayings. You can contact me in the usual way on the side-board, just click contact me. I am also working on website sales. That requires more than just an order form, so you'll have to actually know me to get a web site designed for you.
