I hate desjardins

Posted on July 31, 2006 By admin 2 Comments on I hate desjardins

With every fiber in my body, I hate the Caisse Populaire Desjardins.

If and when I return to canada, i can guarantee that I will do my best to never, ever, EVER have to deal with those bastards again.

I clean up well when I want to

Posted on July 31, 2006 By admin 6 Comments on I clean up well when I want to

I went to get measured for my suit for the wedding this weekend:

I wanted to take a few pictures to show my best man what he'd be wearing. I keep threatening people with kilts (and if I had a shred of scottish blood in me, even a teensy bit, I'd do it, but alas I'm french canadian as far as the eye can see…), but I settled for a classic cut morning suit.

 

I'm going to be wearing a red waistcoat with an ivory cravate and Michel is going to be wearing an ivory waistcoat with a burgundy cravate. We're both going to have white rose bouttonnieres. The shirt lapels are going to be a bit different from the ones in the picture (they didn't have one with the collar style I want in my size when I went to get fitted), but it's going to kick ass.

My cat is not the brightest bulb in the pack

Posted on July 31, 2006 By admin

Cats might not be the brightest pets in the world, I'll admit. Mine, frankly, is dumb, even for a cat. But I love him. Even when he jumps on my face at 4am.

I'll be putting up more pictures and videos shortly.

BTW, in case you're wondering, he climbed up the laundry drying rack that we have in the kitchen to play with a cat toy he's rapidly destroying.

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
