In contrast to yesterday, today is a good day.

Posted on January 26, 2005 By admin 10 Comments on In contrast to yesterday, today is a good day.

Last night was maaaavelous. Spent two hours yesterday in the McGIll Network Op Center, surrounded by shiny and expensive toys, then met Katy at Indigo for some book shopping goodness before going to Hurleys to meet Sara. Lots of laughter ensued. Notable quotes:

Q: I was on my back, what did you expect?
A: sex.

“I have trouble standing up straight at the best of times”

“- The difference between your dad and I is that I fight back.
– My dad's too scared to fight back cause I start crying and run to my mom. Then again, he's started doing that as well. We're both afraid of my mom.”

We went to see Lemony Snickett movie, which I give a 7/10. I'm not a big fan of Jim Carey at the best of times, but the movie had redeeming features. We headed back to my place afterwards for dinner. Note to self, sage and oregano go well with chicken. Other note to self, I need to get coriander.

Fell asleep watching CSI and headed off to bed shortly. I had a good night's sleep, yay! Woke up indecently late, got up even later. I'm ashamed to say that I left for the office at 10:30. This will not do. It was worth it, but still, I can't keep on doing this. I took a cab to the office to mitigate the lateness. Other bit of good news, after a week of faffing, I got my business cards, woot!

    yoink away :) I was in your neck of the woods a few weeks ago but didn't have a way to get in touch with you. I spent the day at Mt. Sinai/Sick Kids.

    Respected :)

    I'm going for karaoke with a fun bunch headed up by [info]balistic TOMORROW night at Trix (at Atwater). Interested? They're a rollicking laid-back gaming kinda group who like to sing.

    Let me know!
