Yay for Grammar!

If you're using the new, modern, fast, small, HTML-standards-compliant browser Firefox, you can do a neat trick. In your address field, type "it's versus its" and hit enter. Note: not the Google box, the Address field.

You'll get this great site. You should send it to your friends and enemies whenever a stray apostrophe sneaks through.

What comes after before but before after?

During, that's what!

You can now see pictures of our condo during its transformation into our home. Please ignore the bad lighting and other shit I didn't want to fix. Also, I apologize for not taking a picture of the small area on the kitchen ceiling which has been painted. It's quite shocking to see the brighter white next to our supposedly white ceilings.

Learning Experience

Two things I've learned over the course of this move:

1. If someone says "we'll deliver between 7 AM and 1 PM," they really mean "we'll be there at about five minutes before one PM." (Rogers and IKEA so far, and Sears has nine minutes left to not be late)

Update that I know nobody cares about, but since I started the topic I better keep it up to date: Sears had a truck break down this morning, so everything's a few hours late. But I'm getting free delivery ($65) which is kinda nice.

2. Don't "pack" powdered dishwasher detergent, or an opened packet of curry spices, by simply placing them opening-downwards in a box. Now, technically I haven't learned this, because I already knew it. But Halifax Transfer's packers appear to have major problems with the concept. One of our kitchen cupboards smells like curry, and our bedding all smells like President's Choice Dishwashing Detergent.

Time to go assemble more stuff.

Yellow Pages

There are more listings for Singing Telegrams than there are for Taxis in the Kitchener-Waterloo Yellow Pages.

That is all.
