To follow the trend

Posted on January 3, 2006 By admin 2 Comments on To follow the trend

Since all the cool kids are doing it, I will write an end-of-year review. 2005 was a very chaotic year. Some very high points, a very low ones.

I went from living in Montreal, surrounded by friends and family (with all the insanity and giggles that entails) to living with my now-fiancee in Cambridge. I have made new friends, lost contact with some old, and will shortly become part of another family.

I went from a job that bored me to tears to one I enjoy waking up to go to.

I have been to London, Munich, Geneva and Pascoli. I have spent more time in airports in one year than ever before in my life.

I am coming to terms with my allergies and discovering all sorts of new recipes to try.

I am also realizing that I've passed 30 and I seriously need to overhaul some aspects of my lifestyle or I won't make it to 40 (mostly because of stress and a good dose of hypochondriasis).

I have experienced happiness because of love. I have experienced frustration and anxiety because of love. I have realized that you need to be happy for yourself, because nobody else will.

From all of this, I have come to the following resolutions for this year:

– find a pet-friendly apartment in Cambridge
– get healthy. I need to lose 4 stone, preferably 6.
– save money.
– socialize more and visit more of Cambridge and the UK.

New comics!

Two little comics that made me smile when I saw them. As always, I keep my treasure trove of cartoons online here: http://www.flubu.com/comics/

What the hell was in my coffee this morning?

Posted on January 3, 2006 By admin

I'm sure there's a logical explanation as to why I crossed Lara Croft on my way to work this morning. I know I'm prone to exaggerate sometimes, but I'm pretty damn confident I saw a woman walking in crotch-level short-shorts (in january!), showing lots of interesting curves (which, I admit, caused me to do a double-take, sorry sweetie), a large plait of hair and two shiny nickel-plated-like lumps in holsters on each hip.

The fuck?!?

Scented candles

Posted on January 3, 2006 By admin

Katy has corrupted me with scented candles from the Pier. We now have an orange-cinnamon one burning in the living room and apple-ginger ones in my zen garden in the bedroom. The smell really, really nice.

Home sweet home

Posted on January 3, 2006 By admin

It's good to be home. For as much as I loved seeing all the people I saw over the holidays, it feels good to be able to hang my hat on my own hanger. We're slowly putting all the stuff we bought/got away, but that will probably take a few days as Katy wants to completely remodel the apartment decorations :)

Going back to work tomorrow doesn't seem like a chore either, for one of the rare times in my life. I completely lost track of time over the last two weeks. I was talking about it with Katy's dad. In the last two weeks, we travelled about 12,000km. It seems that it took forever and was over in the blink of an eye at the same time. It'll be good to get back to the routine for a bit.

Next little adventure should be going to London again to go see the Cirque du Soleil at the end of january.
