Yurkos song of the day: Two of Us - by The Beatles

Greetings everyone to a Thursday evening posting on my stupid blog type deal. gonna be a short one as for the fact that i do have to get back to the little bit of studying that ive been trying to slog though. Regardless of that fact i dont really have a great deal to talk about today anyways but here goes.

I realised earlier that i totally forgot to mention the goings on the previous monday which was kinda suprising considering that there was much i could talk about on here. Firstly id just like to mention that when your going down to sunridge mall (why i still havent figured out) be sure to pay attention to the road signs so as not to start going to medicine hat instead of said mall. Second, despite popular belief, the combination of noodle looking frozen yogurt, ginger beef, rice and ketchup is not a breakfast of champions; especially when combined into one cup as i am sure victor would be very happy to tell you.
And thirdly heres some helpful advice, appearantly when you go into a store and bring something to the checkout counter you have to TELL the cashier that yes i would like to buy this product and no i didnt just walk in here and take something off the shelf just to prove to you the person who probably put it there in the first place that yes you do stock this item. Im sorry, just a tad bitter over how stupid employees of compucenter appearantly are.

I have also came to realise that one of the sure signs of being a guaranteed loser is when you await the release of a book, especially if its a book that no one you know has ever heard of, and most especially when the book is a piece of historical fiction. So yes i know i r a loser but damnit Harry Turtledove writes some damn good novels so i dont give a rats buttox what all of you nonexistent people reading this think. On the topic of books i might as well mention the thing thats currently pissing me off. As im sure no one has noticed ive got a link over yonder to an author called Terry Pratchett, whom i have also mentioned numerous times in the course of these posts. What angers me is that according to the godless corporation that is indigo-chapters most of his earlier books are out of print. Now me being new to this author of course i decide to start with his earlier books so since im far to lazy to go to used bookstores to find them i have to turn to the local libratorium. This system worked out just peachy for the first couple of books until it came to a little novel entitled Mort. It would appear that for the entire calgary public library system there is only one copy of this book (although the library claims that 10 more are on order but refer back to the mention of them being out of print) and so i am forced to wait in line with 14 other people to get their grubby mitts on this one little book. Normally i wouldnt care but this book deals soley with probably the authors funniest, wittiest and all round best charachter Death. So for that reason alone i will sit here and grumble until its my turn to partake in the readage of this tome of funniness and thusly be severly dissapointed, throw myself off a very low bridge, sprain an ankle and move on with life.

I am sure that there was other stuff that i had planned on talking about but ive forgotten and im starting to get chest pains soooooo
Till Next Ramble
(unless of course im actually having a heart attack so if thats the case then till i see you all in heaven/hell/purgatory)
