I am now going to place 'Shaw Communications' on my blacklist of goods/services. I turned on the computer at 6:05, hoping to make some changes to my course timetable. The Internet was down. (Loading the corporate page didn't work either.) Luckily, the 1 spot on the course I wanted was still there when I did managed to log on temporarily about one hour later; otherwise, they could have been expecting a mean phone call. (Well, maybe not that mean, seeing that it's coming from me.) At 13:30, the Internet wasn't working again, and the TV lost its signal as well. I watched as an already fuzzy-display faded into complete grey fuzz. Why is it that when you need something the most, it stops working? Another example of Murphy's Law #1, I guess.

Sunny day today. I mowed the lawn before noon because that's what Saturdays are for. Oh, and on to another electronic image-capturing device: the Canon PowerShot A80. Of course, I have suggested to my father that he return it, because a new model to replace the A80 is rumoured to be introduced in the near future. It came with an hp photosmart 145 printer, which I also think is useless.

Yesterday I went to A Taste of Edmonton with my friend BoBo. We walked to the little park on 102nd St at Jasper. We spent a combined total of $12 (= 16 tickets) and were still hungry. This is what we purchased: 3 bacon-wrapped scallops (4 tickets); 4 stuffed mushrooms (5 tickets); 1 chicken caesar pita (5 tickets); 2 chocolate cappucino shooters (2 tickets). Lucky for BoBo, he went to a pancake breakfast earlier that day, I did not. So I was practically starving until I got home.
