Katy and I invited Sara over for dinner anna movie tonight. I made pizza and waaaaay too much leek and potato soup (guess what I'm having for my lunch tomorrow). After what seems to be becoming our post-dinner belching contest, we headed off to see Shark Tale at the Cote-des-Neiges cinema for 5$ cheapie movie night. Fun movie, lots of laughs. On the way back, we giggled at the slippers in a shop window, and I'm not really sure how we ended up talking about fart-powered cars…

Sara and Katy are having a girls' night out tomorrow, which will involve ribs and sex-toy shopping. That last one worries me, as leaving Sara with a gold card in a sex shop doesn't seem like the brightest thing I've ever done…

Off to bed.

Had a rather unpleasant nightmare last night, of the murderer-that-is-yourself-is-hiding-behind-the-door-to-stab-you variety. The good thing is that a warm body attached itself to me and chased the dream away.

I am aggrieved that you haven't commented on the pictures I busted my derriere to resize and post online. Bad, bad bloggers!

Found a bit of time during my lunch break to get some more pictures online:

These were the pictures Katy and I took in Ottawa, of Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal and the Museum of Civilization.

Edit: Did the last set of pics before going home. These are from the Casino Hilton, Leamy Lake and the museum of Science and Technology.

kicks ass :D

I feel like I've gone full circle.

I'm currently sitting at my “desk”, which is a lab bench at the McIntyre building – the place where I spent waaaayy too much time a few years ago. I'll be working here for the next 3 months or so – I'll have a real office after the holidays when the office space they're renovating on the 6th floor is finished. I'd forgotten just how much of a pain in the ass walking up Drummond is. If anything, this new job will get me back in shape :)

I've been thrown in the deep end, and now I must swim. I need to survey and plan for the computing needs of a widely diverse group of people for the next 5 years. This will be a challenge. I'm anxious, but at the same time, it'll be fun :) I just need to get comfortable with the work environment. Right now, my bench space is completely barren. I'm working on my own laptop that I brougth from home (I'm buying the work laptop today). I don't have a phone yet, I'm using gmail to email because I don't have my McGill email yet. Basically, it's all up in the air.

If anybody wants to give me stuff to put on my desk to personalize it, I will galdly accept donations :)

I can't find either of my Guy Ritchie movies! I went over my whole DVD list, and I can't find either Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels nor Snatch.

I am not amused. Might you have them?
