Spent so much this weekend ahh

So I spent almost a hundred bucks this weekend. Though don't get me wrong, I like going out and doing stuff. Staying home and doing nothing on the weekend is lame. I just get all sadfaced on Sunday nights after I see my bank lol.

Anyway, Friday I went downtown with Matthew and Nam and unexpectedly bought a shirt for like $30 something(though it is pretty nice). Afterwards we went to Springrolls where I spent like another $27(a good part of that going towards matthew's 20% tip). It was also pretty funny to try and give Duy's number to one of the hostess chicks. Saturday I went to Korean BBQ with Bi(protip: don't use chopsticks to put food on the grill *cough*bi*cough*) and then to play pool with Leo+East York people.

Now hopefully I can make it through next weekend without spending so much so I can afford to get a new pc already. And yeah yeah I know I just bought an xbox but my pc is dying and like the cpu keeps overheating so I really need to get a new one.

Another work related post yay!

Ok so I swear my job makes me fear for the future of humanity sometimes. I seriously don't understand how some people can be so stupid and/or greedy.

2 Prime examples:

JewLady#1 - She puts a set of luggage on her bridal registry, which is like a list for her wedding guests of gifts they can buy for her, and someone wanted to buy that set for her. The people that wanted to buy the set asked to put it on hold. So someone in bridal registry took the set off of her list because it was going to be bought. But all of a sudden the people who wanted to buy the set changed their minds and decided to get something else. Heres where it gets hilariously retarded, JewLady#1 actually had the balls to come in and say "oh because the set of luggage wasn't on my list anymore, no one(else) bought it. Thats The Bay's fault and I want it for free now". After she said that I was like stunned for a minute at the sheer jewishness of her attitude(I found out later that she actually was jewish lolol). And of course when we said no she bitched to 2 different managers(who said no also) and then the actual store manager who said yes and gave her the luggage for free(which was like $700).

Moron#1: "Hi can you help me with something?"
Me: "Sure"
Moron#1 while ignoring big ass sale sign with luggage prices directly in front of him: "Is this luggage on sale?"
Me: "Yep, the regular and sale prices are right here on this sign right in front of you"
Moron#1 still ignoring the sign that also has the different sizes listed: "Ok what sizes are there and does it come as a set? Whats the size of this piece by the way, and how much is it?"
Me: "No we only carry 1 line of luggage in a set everything else is sold individually..blah blah blah"
Moron#1 moves over to another line, also with a giant sale sign with prices/sizes on it
Moron#1: "Are these also on sale? And does it come as a set?"
Me:"(whispering)oh god take me now, its going to be a long day"

So yeah, I get people like this a good 15%-25% of the time. I have so many stories of pure stupidity I could write a book(or even a part2 to this if I cant find anything else to blog about lol).

*sigh* still 2 more days till the weekend ugh...

The Future of the Internet?

You could be paying for internet like this

Net neutrality has something I've kept an eye on ever since some American ISP decided to start throttling their customer's internet speeds when they use torrents. They basically made it so that if you tried to seed/upload anything with a torrent your speed would be throttled down to nothing so the ISP can save bandwidth. Now it might not sound like a big issue, yeah sure you can't upload who cares right? But who's to say the ISP will stop there? I mean they could all of a sudden decide to block torrents/torrent sites and just say "oh they were illegal anyway". I don't like the idea of Rogers deciding what I can/can't go to.

The blocking of sites and speed throttling isn't the only thing. I suggest watching/reading these:

Now of course most of it is just speculation with little/no proof, but what they are saying is not at all unreasonable and I can totally see ISPs doing this purely to make more profit. I can't see the internet having much of a future if it actually does go subscriber like TV is.

Guitar hero is funnnnn

I finally managed to get a hold of Leo's guitar hero controller and I got to spend some quality time with it. Man the game is addictive. Even though I can barely do medium its still tons of fun. I even have a bruise on my arm from playing so much the first night. I still can't get over that PA is so good. I cry a little inside every time I see her play because she crushes on expert. I can't even read the notes and shes hitting like 90% of them, wth. My goal in life now is to become a guitar hero hero(Bi's term) like her.

What else happened this week? I caved and bought an Xbox 360. Why? Because it has some games I want to play and getting a new pc would be way more expensive. Plus most of the good games nowadays come out for consoles first. Right now I have no games lol but I plan to try and get some cheap ones from ebgames sometime this week. Oh and I need money to buy rock band because I'll be sad once Leo wants to take his guitar back. So please help and donate to the rock band fund(its like 110 bucks, with like 50 from myself).

I also finished Death Note this week and it was pretty awesome. I wasn't expecting it to be so entertaining, especially after endless negative comments from people(read: idiots) like Basil.
**Spoilers:** I was so depressed when L died. He should've been the one to catch Light instead of the 2 creepy orphan kids. So yeah I liked the live action ending better. Next thing to finish is Full House. I sorta need a recap first cause its been so long since I've seen the first 2 episodes >.> (and yes Duy, I'll watch Melancholy sometime this week too)

K enough time wasted writing this entry, back to guitar hero now xD
