New Look, New Feel, New Post, New Name(?)
Well, if you've been watching over the past hour, you know I've been toying with a new look & feel. Finally I have come to one I am satisfied with. If it's not working for you, then drop me a comment! (Or drop me a comment anyways :)).
Where have those links to my homes on the Internet gone? They're now in a handy top menu on your right - it even includes my Facebook now!
So what, oh what, has been going on you ask?
Facebook
Facebook is addictive. Lets leave it at that. Go check it out if you haven't already, because it is... just mindboggling
Work
I'm safe and comfortable in my job at PWGSC for the summer - its got its up and its downs. What do I do? I'm part of a team which maintains websites for Public Works and a few other places. Interesting, moderately educational and such :).
Love
There are some interesting possibilities out there. More when more happens! Until then, I'm just waiting until the right person comes along... too many conversations on that topic. Next!
There isn't really much else going on - I have two semi-permanent house guests for the time being and thus don't get nearly as much time in on Runescape.
In addition to my runescape addiction, I find myself being drawn slowly in by Disgaea - it just has awesome game play. I am such an addict of awesome game play - who needs graphics?
I've also taken up playing Magic again on a semi-regular basis. We went to Montreal for a tournament (Daren, myself and Vicki) - it was an excellent weekend with lots of fun stuff (even though we wound up never going to the tournament).
I have developed a horrible addiction to a store on the corner of Lisgar and Bank. And its not the pizza place. I've just bought so much cool stuff there, I want to buy the entire store. Or work there. But probably I can't, because... well, I have a Y chromosome, eh?
School begins in just under a month and a half - I have many project courses and little in the way of actual work to do. I'm going to try and finally pass my English course. Speaking of English, I wrote the English Exit Exam and passed with A, A, B (excellent marks) even though I failed my English course with an 18% (the downsides of never going to class).
We also went out for Canada Day which was much fun - I have a weird love of glowsticks.
Daren and I keep plotting a move to Montreal after I finish school (ie in about a year) - it would allow me to go to Concordia or McGill (Concordia is higher on my list... mostly because its generally regarded as a better school for the most awesome program ever (Computer Science)).
I've gotten hooked on two new comics - Questionable Content (damn you) and Order of the Stick (damn you more!). It is a testament to my eccentricities that I love both of them - links are to your right.
Movies... so many good movies. I saw Ocean's Thirteen with Daren. Its an exceeding good movie, better than Ocean's Twelve in my humble opinion. Go see it!
On my list of things to see: Harry Potter V (may it be better than IV), Live Free or Die Hard and Evan Almighty.
Hey, if you joined Facebook, you'd know that by now!
Reading - I picked up the Harry Potter books again in preperation for the movie. I also started into the Ender's Game series again.
D&D... man, we keep wanting to play, but no one has time to build an adventure. Does anyone want to DM for us? I offer my services as the Neutral Good Human Ranger.
And, having finally dumped all the happy happy goodness from my brain and not being able to think of anything else... I give you...
Finally
This brings me to the competition. Five points (no, the points aren't worth anything) to the person who suggests the best name for this journal. Entries such as "Dep's journal of wrist slicing goodness" will be DQ'd immediately. Have fun!

Hey. Finally you decide to blog. Not the colors I'd see you take but the change is nice. Not so gloomy, sad and lonely look to it. I guess a change was necessary. I'm glad to see that you're doing so well. I'll do my best to see if I can come up with a name. I can't make any guarantess but hey, atleast I'm gonna try! Lol.
Ttyl!
Ttyl!
Excellent :) yeah, the colors were needed - it was just so old and not representative of the new Robert (who's doing his best not to be emo, despite his latest post). Let me know on the name!
