Yurkos song of the day: Don't Come Around Here No More- by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

"You're not going crazy! You're going sane in a crazy world!"

Hooo Boy, blogging it up Edmonton style. Heading out for breakfast at 9am and well ive got an hour to kill so i figured might as well post something to kill the time. I dont promise anything of intrest but if it helps kill your boredom than my work here is done.

My god moving in is a pain in the ass. Especially when you live on the 9th floor of your residence builiding. Ive decided that if i ever live in an apartment im going for ground floor and one that comes with a fridge. Damn thing, all that lugging around etc. Oh a word of advice for you folks out there. You know how your parents always told you dont talk to strangers well i would like to add on to that "Dont talk to strangers especially if they are carrying a newscamera on there back." Yeah so like i said moving was a pain in the ass so just to add onto it all, while im unloading the old van this guy from the local A Channel walks by with his camera and asks if he can film me for a second. So im thinking maby he just needs a shot of some people walking into the building or something so i say sure why not. Turns out this camera guy ends up filming me lugging everything up into my room, and then interviews me. So needless to say on my first day here i got to look very very odd to everyone in the entire building (some kid who gets his own camera crew) plus i got to happily look and sound like a moron on the 6 o'clock news. Hooray for Me! Only solace i have is that it was on A Channel and if edmontons is anything like calgarys no one was watching. Siiggh but yeah thats pretty much it for the whole moving in. Im in, everything more or less works. Just have to work out a few bugs with my UofA email; which by the way for those who care/want a joke is cry@ualberta.ca Gotta love my initals, of course i could change my email but meh this is slightly amusing and is a good way to start a conversation so ill keep it.

So yeah tahts enough about university, nothing interesting has really happened to me otherwise in the first day; well other than our floor had a pinata which was good fun and my hallway has 4 exchange students which is rather cool. A guy from india, one from Pakistan and two from colombia. Should be a good experience learning about other cultures etc. Also realised i really need to buy a kettle cause walking down 9 flights of stairs (im to lazy to wait for the slow ass elevators...and yet i take the stairs...hmmmm) just for my morning tea is just a slight pain in the ass.

Oh i was finally able to vanquish my temporary arch-nemisis, that being those bloody A things that were popping up around the site. Big thanks to the guy who made this template originally who was nice enough to actually fix the code and email it back to me. Kudos sir! Kudos. Plus as a bonus my site now somewhat covers up that rather useless blogger top bar thing, which is good cause well why in gods name would anyone search for something on my site anways; plus theres the whole fact that it doesnt work with my site but thats not the point. The point is I am more or less tapped out in terms of creatitivty (hey its 8:30 in the bloody morning, so sue me). That being said I now venture back in to the "fun" world that is pre-university living. Probably going to have to buy my books today (bleh) but with Bender, the always cool stuffed Yoshi and Kingdom Come Superman keeping me company i will press onwards.

Till Next Ramble

The Amazing, Boring Yurko
