The other day Michelle and I watched the movie 'Lars and the Real-Girl'. It's about a man who develops a delusion that his internet ordered life-sized doll is real and he's dating her. It's full of touching moments where the town tries to help Lars and his very fragile grip on reality. I liked it and maybe you will too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Story 2. When Michelle and I were coming home from the movies and we decided to stop at Tim Hortons. While Michelle saved us a seat, I lined up to get us some stuff to drink. There was a man in line who was trying to get the attention of the couple in front of him. He turned to me and explained that he had dropped his loonie, at that moment the woman had looked down, discovered the loonie and picked it up. Now he couldn't get their attention because they were ignoring him. We laughed for a bit about it, as the couple continued to ignore us. I told him that 'you win some, you lose some' and he took it all very philosophically.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30734252-2354681096236639347?l=jayloftus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayloftus.blogspot.com/feeds/2354681096236639347/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30734252&amp;postID=2354681096236639347' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30734252/posts/default/2354681096236639347'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30734252/posts/default/2354681096236639347'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayloftus.blogspot.com/2007/11/november-4th-2007.html' title=''/><author><name>jay</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01632572398419534838</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30734252.post-7665554477532147654</id><published>2007-10-17T22:29:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2007-10-17T22:35:54.473-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>It's a bittersweet symphony, this life - he said&lt;br /&gt;You stole that line - said I&lt;br /&gt;So what?

Michelle got to meet up with some of her old pharmacy friends. Speaking of Michelle, she is now a registered pharmacist so any drug-related questions you have can be directed her way. As for myself. I am still working in Mississauga for Tricom on aircraft simulator stuff. It's going okay. Google has set up a prize for any company that can send a rover to the moon and have it drive around a bit and send back footage. I've got my eye on that $20 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that's it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s. I also bought some roof racks. I bought them from the states to save some money so I was pretty pumped when they arrived safely.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30734252-147833964199186904?l=jayloftus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayloftus.blogspot.com/feeds/147833964199186904/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30734252&amp;postID=147833964199186904' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30734252/posts/default/147833964199186904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30734252/posts/default/147833964199186904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayloftus.blogspot.com/2007/09/sept-20-2007-update-i-went-to-hindu.html' title=''/><author><name>jay</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01632572398419534838</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30734252.post-5239009883320395405</id><published>2007-09-04T15:03:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-04T15:05:24.796-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Woodsy Michelle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She can punch a bear in the face,&lt;br /&gt;Wrest an eagle from its nesting place.&lt;br /&gt;She can fell a tree with a single chop,&lt;br /&gt;She can hike forever and she just won't stop!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30734252-5239009883320395405?l=jayloftus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayloftus.blogspot.com/feeds/5239009883320395405/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30734252&amp;postID=5239009883320395405' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30734252/posts/default/5239009883320395405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30734252/posts/default/5239009883320395405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayloftus.blogspot.com/2007/09/woodsy-michelle-she-can-punch-bear-in.html' title=''/><author><name>jay</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01632572398419534838</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30734252.post-5679179372147626504</id><published>2007-08-25T23:36:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-25T23:46:19.116-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Today is August 25th 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not much is up.

That's kind of boring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day Michelle and I had some Indian food and then we went to see the movie Stardust. It's a fanstasy movie, probably aimed at the people who liked the Princess Bride but are now grown up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that... new Futurama DVD's are coming out this november and next year. It'll be pretty sweet. Umm. This fall is the first fall where I'm not heading back to school. That's something. Actually, it's the first fall in 20 years where I'm not going back to school. I have 20 years of education. That's a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I'm going to go read some Count of Monte Cristo, which I've got on the go. It's nice revenge tale.

We walked down to the Eaton Centre after her test where we ate huge helpings of Teriyaki Chicken. Once we were sufficiently stuffed we decided to walk around.

Perhaps my brain is not the free-flowing thought tool I once perceived it to be, but rather a pattern following machine unoriginal and contrived to the max.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But who cares about that, I think I'm going to post up some entertaining links.

You see, Michelle has finished all of her course work for pharmacy and is moving out of rez and back to her parents place. So we spent the afternoon walking around U of T's downtown campus taking pictures of ourselves in front of all the buildings. And then we went for coffee and reminisced about our times downtown and the friends we met. In about a month I will also finish my school work, but I'll probably stay downtown for a while. Getting my life in order and whatnot. By the way if anyone's work force is currently lacking an aerospace engineer give me a ring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to take off and wrap some Christmas presents now.  I'll see you all soon.

Friday's are nice and I look forward to them. On Friday Michelle and I go out for dinner. I think tonight we will go to a noodle place by my house. We have been in mourning for our old noodle place, 'Double Happiness', that went out of business recently. Maybe this new place will be even better, but will it serve us deep fried banana for dessert?...that remains to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michelle's going to go home for the weekend. She's going to keep her sister Kelly company until their parents return from their China trip on Sunday. I think I'd like to go to Hong Kong some time. I'll need to brush up on my Cantonese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll probably work on my thesis this weekend, and play frisbee and hockey on Saturday. I'll go for coffee with some friends. When I phone my friend Jason to go for coffee he knows immediately that Michelle has gone home for the weekend and that I'm bored out of my mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I was surfing the net the other day and I found a webpage on making a log cabin, so I says to myself, 'Awesome Jay, you should do that!1!!!11!' So I told Michelle that I was going to build a log cabin maybe as a cottage or something. And she was like, 'I guess putting in the electricity is going to be hard, through all the logs and stuff.' And then I was all flabbergasted cause I never thought of  putting electricity in the log cabin. I guess it goes to show that Michelle and I are on different wavelengths when it comes to log cabins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;Jay David Tse-Gai Loftus&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30734252-116256726539387923?l=jayloftus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayloftus.blogspot.com/feeds/116256726539387923/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30734252&amp;postID=116256726539387923' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30734252/posts/default/116256726539387923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30734252/posts/default/116256726539387923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayloftus.blogspot.com/2006/11/friday-today-is-friday.html' title=''/><author><name>jay</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01632572398419534838</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30734252.post-116197008017190531</id><published>2006-10-27T13:17:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-27T13:28:00.183-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>A Story of Popsicles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a boy named Jeremy.

My mom took us out to a restaurant Bonfire, which is a Swiss Chalet clone but still pretty yummy. And then the next day we went to my dad's and had a turkey dinner at my dad's. Later that night I went to my friend Roland's house, and hung out with da boyz. We played the Lego Star Wars 2 game. Out of all the lego computer games I've played, this one is my favorite. Then on Sunday I went to Michelle's house, and I went shopping with them. I think I've got some sort of shopping neurosis, because after about 5 minutes of girl shopping I get all antsy and want to lie down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm happy for my friends. They all seem to be in a really comfy part of their lives. Everyone seems to be doing what they want and we all get to see each other every so often and it's really nice.

He wasn't sure why he became an Ichthyologist, but it was probably due to the fact that his father was an Ichthyologist, and his grandfather was an Ichthyologist, and so on. In fact, he was a fifth generation Ichthyologist. But he wasn't sure if it was what he really wanted to do. Even at the age of 45, after a distinguished career, he would look around his home at the black and white photographs of his Ichthyologicking ancestors and feel like he was a poser. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That night he went to sleep wracked with a myriad of internal strife. And in his sleep it came to him... a dream creature... a marvelous specimen of the Ichthyological variety. "Why? Why do you question who you are?" it said. "Look in my eyes! Look deep!" So he gazed deeply into the dark orbs and behold! He saw himself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He started awake, and pulled himself straight up in bed.
