Golfing with Jann Arden

Well, the other night, one of my friends from work invited me to go golfing with him. We decided to meet back at the golf course at about 3 pm. I got there a little late, but that is aside from the point. When I got there, he had already put our names on the list for available tee times. We shot some balls at the range, went to the putting green yada yada yada. Then we decided to go check and see if it looked like we were going to be able to go. The guy in the Pro Shop said it was unlikely that we would get on, as it was men’s night. We were walking away when they called us back. He said he had a tee time for 4:47 pm, we said sure. He then told us that we would be golfing with Jann Arden. We were both like, are you serious? He wasn’t lying. So we went over to the halfway house to see what they knew about Jann Arden. They didn’t seem to know much.

So, we showed up for our tee time, and sure enough it was Jann Arden. She introduced herself as Jann, and was golfing with Wendy. If it had not been for the Pro Shop, we probably would have never known. I must say, she was pretty mouthy. She was a pretty good golfer though, she definitly beat me. I had a sucky round.

Overall, it was an interesting experiance. Definitly one I probably won’t forget. It is also one that is kinda cool to tell other people.

Calgary Auto and Truck Show 2005

Well, its been a while since I went, but I was finally had time to get an image gallery that worked. Because I am too lazy to write my own, I went in search of a pre made, preferably PHP, image gallery. I found a whole bunch, but none of them worked, or at least I couldn’t make them work. I was almost about to code my own, it wouldn’t have been basic, as I don’t have time to make it cool, but then I found a wonderful little piece of software called JAlbum. Its create! It does all the work. If you want more information of JAlbum click here.

Now, the point of this post is to inform you of said gallery of said Car Show. I wasn’t able to take many pictures, as we forgot to charge the battery before we went, and so it died. There are a lot of shots of the BMW M5, that is because its my favourite car. Anyways, the link to the album is here. Enjoy! I will probably modify the template and such at a later date.

Also, I finished my new Maple Design site. I haven’t uploaded it yet to the root directory, so just going to mapledesign.ca won’t do anything. To see it please go here. Thanks!

EDIT:I have updated my Maple Design site. The new one now can be found at mapledesign.ca. The old URL that I gave above will still work. Also, I finished a new site. Its a site about the dining room suite we’re selling. If you want to take a look, go here

UPS And Halo 2

Okay, this happened a while back, but I never got around to posting it till now.
My copy of Halo 2 was supposed to be here on Tuesday the 9th, but didn’t arrive in Calgary until Thursday the 11th. I finally received in Friday morning. Apparently, UPS had a late trailer problem, which was cause for some delay, but not all. When I did get it I found the shipping notice in the package, and it was supposed to be shipped on the 6^th, not the 8^th. Another thing was that on the UPS website, it said it went out for delivery Thursday at 9 AM. Frustrated at not getting it, I phoned UPS at about 6 PM that evening. I went through the maze of recordings, and finally was able to talk to a real person. She told me that my package would be delivered between now, being about 6, and 8 o clock that evening. This renewed my optimism. This newly found optimism was quickly crushed as the clock struck 8, and no package had been delivered. I was fuming mad. I considered phoning UPS once again, but didn’t really feel like it as it’s not like they could do anything anyways. They could give me no compensation. I would just have to wait. I anxiously awaited Friday morning for the UPS guy to come. Everyone one else had gone to my brother-in-law’s convocation, so I was home alone. Finally, at about 11:20, the UPS guy shows up, and I receive my copy. I was not very happy with UPS and Future Shop, and will not be buying anything through futureshop.ca, anymore. Nor will I ever be shipping anything via UPS. I would advise all of you to do the same.
