With work, we went to a farm about an hour out of town. It was cool. I went on a cool hayride, with no hay (it was just a wooden wagon). Maybe they just didn't have any dry hay, since it rained all morning. But even if they had hay, I don't know where they would have put it, since there was a bench already, the hay would have made that bench about 6 feet high. There were lots of flies. Millions of them... no googles of them! And mosquitos. I can't forget the mosquitos. But when I get back, I'm telling one of the people there about how it was cool, but there were lots of bugs. He says "you should have put on some OFF bug repellant - we have some inside - you want some? I say "Now? It's too late now! Man, where were you an hour ago?" So one we went - looked at the animals - they had rabbits, horses, a really cool donkey, sheep (who don't know the difference between a sheep going "baaaaa" and a guy going "baaaaa". The guy I was with checked. I don't remember what other kinds of animals there were... oh yeah - a really cool rooster. Every little while, in the middle of the day, the rooster would start his yell thingy (like when they try to wake people up). I was thinking of having this conversation with the rooster: Rooster: cokadoodledoo! Me: I'm awake! Rooster: cokadoodledoo! Me: I'M AWAKE! Rooster: cokadoodledoo! Me: OK! ENOUGH!!!! DON'T YOU KNOW ANY OTHER WORDS????? Rooster: cokadoodledoo! Me: Argh! I'm leaving! Organizer: Where you going? Me: Home. Organizer: Why? Wha happened? Me: Stupid rooster. Organizer: What's he doing? Me: Yelling. Organizer: What's he yelling? Me: Listen. He'll do it again. (wait) Me: No really, he was - wait - you'll hear him. (wait) Me: Ah forget it - I guess he stopped. Organizer: Ok, I have to go run some errands, I'll be back. Me: Ok - see you later. (organizer leaves) Rooster: cokadoodledoo! Me: Doh!!!!!! -Luc Farfannugan Theriault

Theriault) Date: Mon Aug 1 17:31:24 1994 There are lots of different coins in the world. You know, I noticed some of them are big, and some of them are small. Coins are cool. otherwise, we'd have to pay a dollar for gum, a dollar for donuts, a dollar for Power Rangers stickers (Jason would be so sad), even a dollar for licorice. Thank you, Mr. Coin. -Farfannugan

Theriault) Date: Mon Aug 1 17:34:43 1994 I worked during the day. I stopped at Mr C's on the way to work to get a sandwich and muffin (which I'd keep for lunch). Mike the baker/boss/cashier was there. This is the conversation we had: Me: Hey Mike: Hey Me: You work all the time Mike: My staff didn't show up Me: Ah. (If I had thought of it, I would have said "If I was working here, I would have showed up!" But I didn't think of it. Boring conversation huh? After work, as soon as I got home (I walked into my room to see if I had messages and the phone was ringing) Andrew called me and said he was bored. We went to McDonalds for supper. I have high blood pressure, you know. So I wanted to eat something that wasn't bad for it. I ordered a chef salad... they're out of salad. So I got 2 filet-o-fish thingys and some fries (and an orange drink). The guy kept having to get the managers come over with their magic keys cuz he was punching things in wrong. While we were in line, Andrew was saying he'd order an orange shake. I said "they're good, but the machine is probably broken... it's always broken in McDonalds. So Andrew orders... a Big Mac, fries, and an orange shake. The guy asks the manager "Do we have orange shakes?" The manager says "No, the orange shake machine is broken". Wow, was I ever surprised. Then, we decided to go visit my mom. On the way there, we stopped at Mr C's to get her a donut. Mike wasn't there. We hung around for a while, listened to the person making announcements (I still think they're doing that on a megaphone), then I said "You wanna see me do the running man?" My mom says "What's the running man?" So I danced. Then, on the way back, we saw tons of seagulls in a field neart the highway. I said "Hey, it's a seagull reunion". I opened tyhe window and yelled "Happy anniversary!!!" "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!" Then Andrew says "congratulations!". I yell "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!" It was cool. Then we went to rent a movie. We rented "The Fugitive". On the way home from the movie place, this is the conversation we had: Andrew: "I have 2 hours - how long is the movie? (he had to work last night) Me: 133 minutes (13 minutes too long) - Cool it's in COLOUR! Andrew: Really? Lucky you got that colour tv! Me: No kidding. What are you gonna do? You'll miss part of the movie. Andrew: I don't know. We'll see. Me: Hey, look, a dead bird! Andrew: (looks up) Where? Ok, ok - I made up the part about the bird. So we started to watch the movie - After about 5 minutes? I said "Is it almost over?" "Is that guy a fugitive?". Andrew said "no" to the 1st question, "not yet" to the second. Then I asked "When do I get to throw the rice?". Then, every 10 minutes or so, I asked "*Now* is he a fugitive?" The answers varied from "not yet", to "almost", to nothing... I was invisible!!!! (or maybe he was ignoring me). Then, finally, he becomes a fugitive. I tell Andrew "You know what's weird? He's a fugitive, and they named the movie 'The Fugitive'. What a coincidence!". Then, the movie ended, and Andrew left for work. I went to sleep early again. Cool! That is what I did yesterday. -Luc Farfannugan Theriault

Theriault) Subject: My day at school Date: Wed Aug 31 13:45:02 1994 I went to take a small business course on saturday with Andrew. We got there a few minutes late - it was sort of my fault... Ok, it was completely my fault. After a few minutes of sitting there, I started to get bored. So I looked around. I noticed all the different colours of paint they used in the room... I looked at the ceiling. One of the vent thingys for the heating was painted yellow, the other one was orange. I looked in the classroom next to ours. I only saw an orange one... At the break, I asked Andrew if he remembered sitting on the 2 back legs of his chair, trying to balance himself... then almost falling down... when he was a kid. He showed me how he used to balance himself... on one leg. I tried it. It's tough. You know what was really weird? Our classroom had only black chairs. But the classroom next door had black and a few blue chairs. I would have liked to have a blue chair. I went for a walk into the other classroom (there was no one in it). I noticed a sign in the front, made for the students... It said: 2 + 2 = a) 2 b) 4 c) 22 d) 0 e) not given Of course, the answer is e) not given - since everybody knows 2 + 2 is 5. I brought the sign back to our classroom and showed it to some people in the class. Our instructor thought I was vandalizing it... I wouldn't do that... So then, the class started again. I started to look at the walls. The front wall was painted beige. The back one was purple. I think they got their paint on sale, in small quantities. Oh, and it was then I noticed that the classroom next to ours had 2 vent thingys as well... one was orange and the other one was yellow. I couldn't see the second one earlier... The walls are the same colour in the other classroom. Lunchtime. We went to a sub place. This is what happened: Andrew and I walk in... Me: You go first, I don't know what I want yet. Andrew: I don't either. Sub Girl: As long as you don't order a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder. Me: Ok, could I get a Filet-O-Fish? Sub Girl: (calls out the other sub girl) Sally, someone wants a Filet-O-Fish. Sally: flergen shmergen (I didn't understand a word she said) We ordered our food. Then we went to the pizza place next door because I wanted cheesecake. I got cheesecake, talked to Hassan, the owner for a few minutes, then we left. We got back to class. My cheesecake was frozen.. I tried to eat it anyways. It was tough. As I ate it, and drank my orange drink, I kept looking at the sign above the board that says no food or drinks. Then I looked at the teacher drink some of his coffee. Then it occurred to me... our teacher looked exactly like Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties. So we had 45 minutes to go discuss some business stuff. Everyone went outside to talk. I was with a group of people who were ok, but then I heard the people at the next table.. they were talking about opening a donut place. I thought "Shaba!". Then our instructor came over and said "Is everything going well over here?". I said "I want to go with them!!!". I didn't. Then we got back to class to talk about the discussion we just had. Each group had to let one person present what we talked about. Teacher: Ok, who's first? Me: The donuts! Teacher: Huh? Me: The ones that did the donut shop thingy! Teacher: You'll hear them soon. Then the first group presented. They finished and the instructor asked who was next... I said "Donut people!"... It wasn't their turn yet... Then, finally, after about 15 hours, he tells the people that want to start a donut shop to talk. Cool!!!!! Then we talked about more business stuff. It got boring for a few minutes. I thought it would have been a good time to go to the washroom... But when I got back, someone said something about donuts. I asked Andrew "Did they just talk about the donut shop again?". He said yes. Doh!!!!!!!!! Then the class ended. I went to work. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. We went past the elevator every time we went downstairs. That is what I did saturday. -Luc Farfannugan Theriault
