(Very Local) Breast Cancer Fundraising Central


Dear form letter recipients,

(If you haven't received the form letter yet, it's because I was tired of copy-pasting individually... How lazy is that, really?)

Yesterday, while waiting tediously at the CIBC for my mum, I picked up a form for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's annual Run for the Cure brochure. The very first thing it asks is, "Pour qui courez-vous?"
I run for nobody in particular. I just want to do it because it seems like something I should be doing. (And I don't mean the societal-guilt-consciousness "should," but the self-aware-motivation "should.") I will run*** your 5 km!

***subjet to long instances of walking and longer instances of semi-jogging.

So discussing with lil V, I was given my initial push to go for it. I have 19 days to reach my goal of 150$ of donations. (Well, 17 before pre-registration actually.) Donations can be made online with the credit card, or you can pay me in person with cash or cheque. You can also request a tax receipt for donations less than 20$.

I like how they have prizes for different levels of funds. For 3500$ you get an iPod Shuffle... (wishful thinking, I suppose)

I lost my lotto ticket today. :( My mum was kinda peeved.

I got my bike fixed though, so it's alright now. And I bought another ticket, but I'll be constantly thinking "I could have won if I haven't..." for the rest of my life... unless I win with this ticket...

I spent the day out.

Although I don't go outside, I figure it's a good time to do that before tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day.

I went to the mall for four freaking hours and all I got was a present for Jorghnassen. How lucky for him! :)

For those of you who collected the third clue, this doesn't have anything to do with the contest. The Mr. Bean Theme song by Howard Goodall will be my next project!

Part 3?

Ok, nobody seems to want to play the game, so I have a third clue. Unfortunately I can't upload it to my blog since it's not an image file, and I don't have any upload space for non-image files. Anyway, if you know my email or MSN nick (extrametricalsyllable) then just ask and I'll send it your way. ;)

With my precious, precious blueberries. Inside and outside.

Part 1!

Free* pancake** for whoever can figure out what song this is supposed to be, arrangement for string quartet and flute. [*Free only if you come by my place.] [**Pancake, not crepe. There's a difference.] Posted by Picasa


Hint: I already mentioned it before in this blog.

Oh... Peh.

In a fit of frustration yesterday evening, I vowed to get my butt out the door today to do something. But I forgot that I had to stay at home today to wait for the landlord to come by and change the door. Now, where the crap did he get to?

APPEND

The sink is finally unclogged. I don't even want to know what that crap was in the first place.

Heroes of Might and Magic V is in beta! I want to see it but apparently it's been 3Dified so I can't even run it on my computer. Jorgh said before we checked out the screenies that the game would revert to the HOMM3 style somewhat, but just look at it!
