Friday, 31 October 2003: Happy Halloween to you all.

Yes, this is supposed to be a "scary" day, per se. But Halloween has been so weak for about the last decade, it's pathetic. In fact, the scariest thing I saw today was when Katie and I went to the local mall to see Scary Movie 3 (which, I might add, you shouldn't waste your money on). After the flick, she and I went windowshopping. Throughout the mall, there were "corpses" set up. One such corpse was just a figure made out of straw and hey and, from a distance, it looked like it was splayed out on a cross. Intrigued, Katie and I walked up to it and, indeed, laying out on the ground was a wooden crucifix with a straw Christ nailed to it using railroad stakes. To make matters weirder, there was a little sign above his head written in Halloween-style font, "King of the Jews." Maybe it's just me, but isn't that getting a little racy for Halloween in a big commercial center like a mall.

Thursday, 30 October 2003: I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the computer from which this page is currently emanating... my brand new Mac G5 tower. I am running OS 10.2 Jaguar with an ungodly amount of RAM and a processor speed I never thought was possible and it is a beautiful thing. Furthers my already firmly rooted belief that PCs are inferior in every sense of the word.

Go Mac.

Wednesday, 29 October 2003: I was listening to the radio on the way in to work this morning and I heard something pretty interesting. Bon Jovi is releasing what they call a greatest hits album "with a twist" next Tuesday. The album will be entitled This Left Feels Right and features remixes of many of their best loved songs. So the station played the remixed version of "Wanted Dead or Alive" and, let me tell you, "a twist" is a bit of an understatement. This was one funky remix. Most of the time, it sounded like Jon Bon Jovi was singing through a tin can. You know, that distant, kinda tinny sound? I'm not saying it was bad. It was actually kinda cool. I just hope that they clearly mark on the package that this album does not contain the songs you love in their original studio recorded versions or you're gonna wind up with a bunch of fans who are exceptionally pissed and feeling quite misled. I may have to check this album out just for kicks.

Tuesday, 28 October 2003: Today was the birthday of evil incarnate. Mr. Bill Gates (of Hell), the founder of Microsoft, Inc. turned God only knows how old. Well, Katie was listening to a radio station this morning and they asked the question, "what do you get for the richest guy in the world for his birthday?"

My answer... a Mac.
