I’m not ashamed to admit it: I like the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” advertisements. Some of them are silly, and some of them are downright hilarious.

Personally, my favourite one is the one where the Vista security guard keeps asking for permission to do things (”Cancel or allow?”), which if you are not familiar with, you can see here:

There is a new one that just kills me. The PC guy is hiding in a pizza box in an effort to lure college students over so he can “get them”. The way he keeps popping out of the box is amusing, but I laughed out loud at his last line: “…come eat me… I’m a delicious pizza…”. Totally appeals my warped sense of humour. Check it out:

Some may claim that I am an Apple fanboy… and I guess I am. It’s hard to not be one when you appreciate such great products.  

Tonight we headed out to Mississauga for Pat and Jen’s housewarming. It was good times, with me being fascinated with a certain book that Pat was recently given. Also, Molly looks lovely in the firelight.

Every evening, we feed the cats soft food for dinner. We even got them trained to know that they eat it on the climber; Coconut on the top level and Pashmina on the middle level.

It’s something I’ve noticed before, but after Coconut is done eating his soft food dinner in his green bowl, he’ll jump down to the middle level of the climber and eat whatever Pashmina has left behind in her pink bowl. What a pig-cat!

Uh…

A Croatia lumberjack claims he started ‘enjoying housework and knitting’ after he was given a female kidney..

Stjepan Lizacic, 56, from Osijek, is suing his local health authority because he says he’s become a laughing stock.

He says his life changed from enjoying heavy drinking sessions with pals to prefering housework after the operation.

He told local newspaper 24sata: “The kidney transplant saved my life, but they never warned me about the side effects.

“I have developed a strange passion for female jobs like ironing, sewing, washing dishes, sorting clothes in wardrobes and even knitting.”

He pointed out that before the kidney transplant he would not have been seen dead doing the housework, and expected his wife to do it all, but now found it both relaxing and fulfilling.

He said: “My wife is the only one that is pleased. I do most of the housework now, and I blame the hospital that transplanted me the kidney of a 50-year-old woman instead of a man’s kidney.”

His wife Radmila added: “If the new femine side to him is confined to housework I am very happy, I only hope he doesn’t start looking at other men.”

…I don’t know what to say…

During my usual bike ride at lunch, I completely forgot that the CNE was going on and that I couldn’t ride through the grounds on my way back to the office (this after I had to find an alternate route to work this morning, but I digress), so I rode down along the waterfront. There were lots of boats in the marina near Toronto Island Airport, and I also noticed one of the “Hippo” tour buses I’ve seen driving around town in the water. I’d love to have a vehicle that I can drive on the road and also double as a boat. But, the Hippo is pretty ugly, and personally, I’d rather own a bison.
