New lappy/laptop

Since it seems we can't agree on what is the best way of describing a portable computer I'll have to be bilingual. Like stupid French being everywhere in Canada, even on my bloody keyboard. As if a French/Canadian person doesn't know that 'Esc' means Escape and needs to have 'Eschapp' written underneath. I put it to Compaq that if someone needs that explaining then laptop computing is at least one stage ahead of them.

Other than that there's not much to update. I saw a guy (who clearly had no idea how to order food) in McDonald's today ask for some gravy. Needless to say he left the counter disappointed. It occured to me on the way out that Morgan Spurlock needn't have bothered supersizing himself for a month since as far as I can tell all the bums in Vancouver are working on that 24/7/365. It's amazing how immune you can become to anyone begging when you experience it on a daily basis. Actually maybe that's just me.

Other highlights from the week include:

- Seeing someone walking their ferret near the Chinatown Skytrain station

- Seeing someone walking their cat on Davie St. Here's a tip - if you put a lead on a cat and go outside you're going where the cat wants to go

- Checking out the products at the supermarket in Chinatown. They have got some crazy shit going on in that place, topped off by the 12 vacuum-packed snack size baby crabs

- A dude coming in the shop and telling us that in the film GI Joe, Dennis Quaid says there are weapons out there that the world has never seen. 'And that is true' - then leaving. He did this twice.

Pretty much ran out of ideas for the poll. That's the best I could come up with.
