Eh, Banes is just a character I made up for when I actually want to be funny. You know the way my Ozone character always seems a bit try-hard? All part of the act! Every partnership needs a dork. :D
…No, it's not an act. -_-
If you are all nice I will show you the pic of me and Pitface together with our baby.
*sigh*
Well, the utility bills are going up… again. And so is the cost of food (rice went up by nearly $2 in some places… a small bag now costs almost $7). The cost of living here is going up. To make matters worse, the business owners here are fighting very hard to keep the minimum wage as it is… at $7.25 an hour.
So now I'm curious… what happens if everything becomes so expensive no one has money to pay for food OR bills?

I randomly became inspired to re-do my comic in color. Not bad, considering I have actually commisioned people to avoid coloring my own art
I'm putting it here because I can't bring myself to go to other parts of DD forums

I want a PS4 soooooo bad. All the games are being phased out and the only releases on the xbox and ps3 have been cash grabs at next-gen games with graphics worse than dragon age origins. It'll have to wait though. My cat needs blood work done and I fear there's deeper issues.

*has no idea how to react to that…*
I went to IHOP today. I got inspired to give it another chance. First the girl sat us down near the huge unclean table with a diaper on the floor, french fries everywhere…proceeded to not clean it. Not even wipe the table. We order our food and it comes out. I got the crepes, but noticed there wasn't any filling in them. I wasn't 100% sure so I asked the waitress (very nicely, genuinly curious if they had filling or not) -_- She puts her hands in her apron pockets and says "um, would you like me to get the menu…? So you know what you're ordering". I stop, trying to figure out if she actually said that to me, look on moms face says yes. I tell her I was asking if that's how they're served and she puts her hands in her pockets again, and says "um, ive been doing this for four years now…so ive got a pretty good handle on this."
What the flying fuck. I hold from saying if shes got so much experience she should clean the fucking table next to me, but whatever, she leaves. I take a few more bites of my soggy egg blankets and mom tries to finish her dry blt with one tomato. I guess she thought about what she said or overheard me mentioning I might complain because she took the crepes off my bill. -_- Anyways I wont be going back there! Now I know why the parking lot was empty at 11 in the morning.

Ozone, how much would you charge to voice-over my life?
50 of Kawaii's lovingly rendered funbills!
Great looking currency Kawaii! In line with Lonne's ecconomic model, I decree that every DD citizen should be paid 50 DD funbills a weeek, but posting on the forums will cost 60 funbills a week… Rightwinganomics!
… But then a duck needs a right AND a left wing to fly or else they just fall in a death spiral. :)
Oh gawd I'm clever
Skull, that sounds like revolting service! The service industry is so weird in the US, none of them get paid enough to actually do a normal job, so they either have to be obsequious to an almost odious degree in order to convince you to give them a handout (tips), or they just give up. I feel sorry for them.

I can confirm this, as it is the nature of all Canadians. In fact I can't even type because I'm just a brain - I have to telepathically dictate all my posts to an American.

@skullbie: The crepes didn't have anything in/on them? Like, not even syrup?
Crepes here are almost always a big to-do…we make them just with fruit and cinnamon sugar at home, but if you go to a restaurant you expect whipped cream and nutella and stuff. Literally the only place I've ever had crepes without any toppings/fillings is our annual Voyageur festival.

And are apartments cheap? As in not 800$ for a single room like portland OR I've been thinking about moving again since I failed my move last time by partying the whole time. (yay no self control)

I checked out the online menu and it appears that only the savory crepes are stuffed with filling. The sweet crepes seem to have the condiments piled on top. For stuffed goodness, blintzes are a safe bet. However, it does not excuse the negative attitude from the server when a simple "yes/no" would have been sufficient.
The best crepes I have ever had came from a crepe shop in Beverly Hills and assembled by a crepe master.
In England we call that a pancake and only eat it one day a year. Having said that, we now have those shops that sell donuts with holes in the middle, so it probably won't be long before we get the crepe places too.

As I was walking through the park today I thought, we were created by a chance meeting of chemicals and developed the ability to speculate on the meaning of life as some kind of random evolutionary side effect, yet as far as I can tell, our only purpose is to pass on our genes to the next player, who passes them on to the next and so on down the line - a game which ultimately, we are destined to lose. By not having to ponder these issues, the squirrel I saw fondling his nuts in a tree probably leads a far more satisfying and fulfilled existence.
It was a lovely sunny morning though. :)
Ironscarf: Pancakes are different. Unless you also have a different word for pancakes. Crepes are much thinner than ordinary pancakes.
Skullbie: Rent is actually super reasonable in Montreal. I mean, it's probably still more than you would pay in Manitoba but it's definitely more in the "people can afford to live here" range than somewhere like Toronto or Vancouver, despite being just as hip as those places. I have no idea about the job market though - sorry!
Aha! - you are referring to the what we call the 'scotch pancake' or 'drop scone'. Our British pancake is flat, just the same as a crepe, hence our popular saying "flat as a pancake" - although we tend to eat it with lemon juice, not every topping/filling known to humanity.

Today I discovered something that has shocked me to the core: Vince Vaughn and Ryan Reynolds are two completely seperate actors - not one actor with an uncanny ability to change his appearance whose name I always misremembered, as I previously thought.
We call those pikelets. Wikipedia says pikelets are a sort of crumpet because wikipedia is writen by people who's brains have been replaced by excriment. Crumpets are a different thing and are delicious.
Anyway, pikelets are great… but I'm pretty good at making pancakes and tend to have them on a Sunday when I get a craving. I like to make then thin and top them with maple syrup if I have any (it's bloody expensive here!), sugar and lemon juice, or just butter. Delish!!!!!!!
These days I only use half my normal recipie though… They're just too filling!
I used to get Vincent D'onofrio and Vince Vaughn mixed up because they look like brothers, then they played brothers in a film ad I couldn't tell which was which. It was like parent trap all over again! @_@
Gotta love my neighbor sometimes. He spots me reusing my cooking oil (at the moment I have no money to buy more). He tells me not to use it and just throw it away…
Me: I can't throw it away. I don't have any more.
Neighbor: Then just go buy some more!
Me: What if I don't have any money to buy more?
Neighbor: Then go ask your neighbors for some!
Me: Can I have a cup of cooking oil then?
Neighbor: NO!
Me: Fine then. Don't bother me about reusing my oil.
*sigh* The world is so weird…
@Lonne- heat it up, throw it in his face, then after he runs sreaming into the road and is hit by a car and dies, render him downvto make more oil. Result!
@Hippie- there's this artificial maple syrup you can get I think. You guys need to send us cheaper syrup so we're not seduced by evil alternatives!

Still looking forward to I-Hop. It could be six months to a year from now though. Applebees will be openning soon though. Let's hope the prices are not like other "famous" statesider restaurants. You know… expensive.
Then again I was dumb enough to buy the Chocolate volcano at Chili's… x_x
Posting again so not to ruin the quotes of my last post…
King's restaurant has a dessert here that I think is similar to crepes. Like a very flat pancake piece folded over your choice of chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla ice cream (I always pick vanilla), covered in whipped cream and drizzled over with hot fudge and finely (and brutally I think) crushed nuts. I forget what it's called. But it's something I order once in a while.
