Blog Software. Yay! HTML site stomped. Boo

Filed under: Headlines — ulric_w @ 1:31 am

Success!  I installed blogging software to power this site.  However, it’s kind of stomping on my existing site.  You can still get to it here http://ulricwong.com/index.html 

Entering the just the domain won’t resolve to the site any more.  Next step will be to merge the 2 systems.  I thought it would be easier than this.  But is it ever really when it comes to computer stuff?

Happy Day-After-Valentine’s Day

Filed under: Headlines — ulric_w @ 12:00 am

Happy Day-After-Valentine’s-Day! Hope you had a good one.  Mine?  Bah Humbug!  =)

I’ve decided relationships are stupid.  What are the chances that you will meet someone you respect, get along with, have similar interests and find physically attractive?  And say you find someone that satisfies all of these criteria?  SHE also has to like you back.

Ridiculous.  The whole system is flawed.

It’s freezing!

Filed under: Headlines — ulric_w @ 4:35 pm

Just finished waxing my board and skiis in the garage and I must say:  It is damned cold out!  I’m boiling water right so I can make a hot drink.  It kinda made for a crappy wax since I just dribbled the wax on, ran the iron over it twice and then proceeded to get my shivering ass out of there.

It’s been sunny, dry and cold for the last week or so.  The powder is gone.  Pray for precipitation for me!

Kitty and her friends are coming up this weekend so me and Dalyn actually cleaned the house today while grooving to the sounds of Madonna.  Yup, the toilet is so clean you could eat out of it now thanks to yours truly.

More Personality Test Results

Filed under: Headlines — ulric_w @ 11:36 am

Sweet!  I’ve got even more results from friends for the myers-briggs test.  I’m kicking myself I didn’t record the percentages though.  Oh well.  Just means I get to ask everyone to get retested in a few months.  muhahahah  =)

 See the growing list of results here Myers-Briggs Results

Schooled at Drop in

Filed under: Headlines — ulric_w @ 11:36 pm

I went to drop in vball again tonight. I got spanked badly by a bunch of chicks. Damn!

I was the only one that showed up for drop in, so I ended up playing 2’s with 3 girls from the women’s team that practices before the drop in time.  It was crazy!  I got packed and stuff!  These girls are nuts.  They basically:

  • serve better
  • pass better
  • set better
  • hit better

Girl:  “Eat this spike sucka!”

Ulric:   ”Argh!  Ouch!  I don’t want to play any more!”

Girl:  “Ring the bell. School’s in you little bitch.”

Ulric: < sounds of Ulric crying softly>

It was actually pretty inspiring.  I’ve got to improve my game.  Apparently, their team trains for the sole purpose of playing tournaments at Harry Jerome.  Whistler Whoosh or something? Hell yeah.

The snow has returned

Filed under: Headlines — ulric_w @ 11:33 am
Wow I looked out the window this morning and… we have got a huge dump of snow!  It’s still coming down!  The top of the birdhouse outside the kitchen window is a good indicator of snowfall accumulation for us.  This morning the birdhouse calls for powder, powder and more powder!

Post weekend recovery

Filed under: Headlines — ulric_w @ 2:47 pm

My mind is still awash with: the sounds of hair dryers at 5am, simple plan, drunken karaoke, beer on keyboard, stilletto heels on porous icy surfaces, surprise powder snow, who’d you rather…, jarring face plant, three six oh, more psychoanalysis, gow wo choi, george stroumboulopoulos (wtf),  the complexities of relationships and friendships, 9am meeting, stupid mullet man, rage induced 53 hit (grrr!), bicep meets pole, “I didn’t get a fucking pass” / “Stop making that noise”, a whirlwind drive through fog and rain.

And finally, thankfully; tranquil, exhausted slumber.

A profound statement on relationships

Filed under: Headlines — ulric_w @ 4:27 am

A girl explained to me recently:

“When looking for a guy, I’m looking for 3 things, someone who:

  1. I can talk to all the time about anything
  2. treats me nicely
  3. I want to have sex with all the time.

Number 1 and 2 are easy.  If someone is my friend, they likely satisfy those criteria. But number 3?  Well… you don’t see me humping my friends, do you?”   

Indeed this was a real eye opener.  Confirms my theory that personality alone doesn’t get you shit despite what most politically correct women will try and tell you.  =)

Intruder Alert!

Filed under: Headlines — ulric_w @ 2:04 am

Hah!  It’s wasn’t just my imagination!

 Wednesday night I was home alone and I had this sketchy feeling that someone was around.  When walking back to the house from the car I felt like I was being watched… And then I looked out the washroom window and thought I saw a big fat head looking at me!  But when I ran over to the window it was gone.  I totally thought I was tripping out.  But it seems we have been having visitors around the house.  Big fuzzy visitors.  We found this outside the bathroom window.

I’m not going crazy!
