Some random comments to start the week (Sunday is the 1st day of the week on the Jewish--and Christian--calendar). Something makes me think I should have just named this blog 'randomness', or 'Heisenberg uncertainty principle', or just 'Kevin's random thoughts'.
Microsoft sucks. Internet explorer is being a real pain in the arse. Every time it has to open up Java it hangs and puffs and pouts and I have to end IE's meager life through the task manager. Very annoying. However, good ol' Mozilla Firefox remains ever faithful. I'm finding that more and more often I'm using Firefox...like right now! It's not a Microsoft product, its not a big name 'everyone uses me' product - two characteristics I like. And as a direct corollary of the 1st preferred characteristic, it actually works properly without freezing and crashing. Imagine that. I know, it's hard for us Windows users. Computing heaven, hahah.
Our second news article of the day has to do with my health (or lack thereof). I finally got out to the slopes yesterday. Nothing better to ease out the kinks of 6 hours work than slippin n sliding on some snow. Unfortunately, I didn't get to the mountain till sundown, after a whole day of crappy beginners had ruined all my runs and turned them into fields of moguls and ice sheets. All this led me to realize that my legs are much weaker than they used to be: both endurance, and brute strength. Since I'm too lazy to work out, I think my only hope is to play more hockey and to ski more. I should hike more in the summers to keep the legs sturdy. Anyways, Cypress needs more snow, fewer people, and my goodness, cheaper ticket prices! An adult full day at Cypress isn't that much cheaper than a Whistler day pass. And, unless you live in Zimbabwe, you'll know which one is the world class resort, and which is the little mom-and-pop hill that could.
Oh..a little postscript. The Silmarillion is awesome. Now the rest of Tolkien's works on Middle Earth make much more sense.
Till the next spurt of randomness.
