An evening on the couch

2008-11-14T13:23:00.003-05:00

I guess I won't be meeting up with friends this evening. A headache has reared its ugly head this afternoon. I suspect it's related to lack of sleep and other "scheduled" things. I don't have any Tylenol or Advil handy in the office, so I guess I will have to suffer the rest of the afternoon with it. It's not a heavily throbbing type of headache. It's more of a "Hi! I'm here to annoy you

My Apologies

2008-11-14T09:56:00.003-05:00

My apologies for not making an entry here in over a week. It's been a while since I lapsed like this. At the very least, I could have made a small entry of some trivial bit of information. But alas, I didn't. I guess it's been a combination of laziness, procrastination and other things swirling around in my life that has kept me from making an entry.I'm still dealing with what I think are

Big Day Tomorrow!

2008-11-03T22:06:00.006-05:00

It's a big day tomorrow in the United States. Tomorrow is Election Day. Tomorrow is the day that the citizens to the south exercise their right and duty as a citizen and cast their votes in this presidential election. As for me, I have already sent in my absentee ballot early last week.This past weekend was a fun weekend. There was Mandy's wedding on Friday. It was a Halloween Wedding. I

Halloween Weekend

2008-10-31T06:49:00.002-04:00

Well, I am off to Oakville today. My friend Mandy will be getting married this evening. It will be costumed event, so it should be both fun and entertaining. :)I managed to get some sleep Thursday night. After I got home from picking up my costume and having dinner, I figure I'd pop a DVD in and fall asleep to that. At first I started to watch The Science of Sleep. But, since I hadn't seen

Sleep Elusive

2008-10-29T08:02:00.002-04:00

For some reason, I just had a horrible time of getting to sleep last night. I suspect that one reason might have been that I got a thought in my head and itjust preoccupied my mind to the point where it took me quite a long while to fall asleep. Even after I did finally fall asleep, I didn't sleep for very long. I think I woke up around 1AM (went to bed at 11PM). I couldn't get myself to fall

Weekend Wrap

2008-10-26T20:02:00.002-04:00

Okay, so I really didn't end up doing much on Saturday. I kinda fell back asleep at some point until A called. I think it was nearly noon, so I think it was a good thing he called. The rest of Saturday was a blur off TV and general dorking around. Uhm, yeah, so Saturday was kind of a blur.I did end up watching "Pride & Prejudice" Saturday night. I had been meaning to try to catch up on some

It's finally the weekend. I really have no idea how this past week went. Maybe because I was mostly busy going through data and stuff at work that the whole week became a bit of a blur.Thursday was the David Usher show at the Metropolis. It was really an awesome show.It's amazing to watch him perform. He really puts out a lot of energy and heart into his show.The weather is suppose to be

It's rainy. I hate rainy days. I find that cloudy, dreary days, especially if they're cool, are a bit of a downer for me. Well, I suppose it shouldn't matter since I am in a windowless office these days. In any case, I just find this kind of weather depressing. That aside, just what color is this?When I first took the photo the flower looked more blue than purple. After I uploaded the

Mondays

2008-10-20T13:40:00.002-04:00

Maybe because it's Monday. Maybe because I'm breathing in fumes coming in from work being done on a nearby roof. Or maybe it's because I have not been listening to my tunes today. For whatever reason I feel kinda "meh" today.Of course, I also feel like such a 'tard. Without going into too many details, I just feel like maybe I should have done something and I hope that signals did not get

It's been a somewhat busy weekend.Saturday, I went to my outdoor cardio class. I tried very hard not to overdo it. I didn't need to have my heart rate up too high. After getting home and relaxing a bit, I went out to the Botanical gardens to shoot some pictures and to check out the annual Chinese Lantern display there. We decided to get there a little bit early as I had heard it will probably

Change

2008-10-15T07:51:00.002-04:00

Change can be a scary thing. It can also be a necessary thing. There are days when I wonder change is needed. Change is sometimes a difficult decision to make.For some time now, I have been contemplating change. I think that I have made a few major changes in my life. I upgraded from a condo to a townhouse this year. That was a huge change. But it's a change I probably would have done

Happy Birthday, Dad!

2008-10-13T11:47:00.002-04:00

It's hard to believe that Dad is almost 70. I guess that since I've been living away from home for just over 15 years now to me Dad hasn't really aged in my mind.The pic was taken almost a year ago when we went to Hong Kong. He hadn't been back there in many, many years. This was his first big trip back to Asia. I think he and Mom would like to go again next year.Happy birthday, Dad!

Up Too Early

2008-10-13T06:29:00.003-04:00

Ugh!!!My mobile started to buzz around 4:50AM. I answer. The caller was asking for Paul. I told him he's got the wrong number. He said he called the main number at work and it gave him an extension. I told him he probably accidentally dialled my extension (a difference of one digit). Ooops.So NOW that I am up, I figure I'd write a bit. About what I haven't any idea, but I figure I'd write.

It's nice to get out

2008-10-11T21:59:00.003-04:00

I got to get out this afternoon to take some shots at some autumn color.It was a gorgeous day. It was warm. There were only a few passing clouds. I met up with a couple of people out by Vaudreuil-Dorion. From there we headed out towards Rigaud. We stopped by a sugar shack place and took some shots. Not as much color as we hoped for there. Afterwards, we headed over to Rigaud ski hill.

Long weekend

2008-10-11T00:18:00.002-04:00

Well, it's the start of the long weekend. I thought it'd never get here. This week has been long enough as it is. If anything the week ended in a rather downer of a note. I was hoping that something at work would come through so that I'd have something to start on next week. However, it seems that it was decided that this work would go else where. This means that I'd have to hunt around for

I haven't written much here as of late. In fact, I really don't know what I want to write some times. I find that I might have an idea in my head while I am walking or driving somewhere, but I never get around to writing it down. As a result, these thoughts get lost.Lately, I have been feeling a bit off. I'm not entirely sure in what way, but I think it could be a combination of things. I

Perchance to Sleep

2008-10-02T10:13:00.002-04:00

Last night I went to bed thinking that for once I will get a full night's sleep since the cats were both at the vet. Nope. It wasn't going to happen. For whatever reason I woke up at 3:30AM. I'm not entirely sure what caused me to wake up like that. I didn't have any coffee in the late afternoon. In any case, I tried to fall back asleep. I think I did, eventually.Lately I've been wondering

I still ache a bit from working in the garden on Sunday.Tomorrow I take the kids to the vet. They both need to be on intravenous IV fluids for at least 24 hours before they have their dental cleaning procedure on Thursday. Jum's

Every once in a while I will do a search on one of my userids. It's one that I've had for a while. It's interesting to see what Google comes up with.Not too surprisingly, it found links to my Flickr, Twitter and digg accounts. There was at least 2 links to this blog. Something I found interesting were at least 2 or 3 references to my photo of vegetarian chili on what looks to be blogs written

Again, there are days when I just don't feel like coming up with something witty for the title of my blog entry. Nothing new there.So my weekend came and went. It wasn't all bad really. I went out for dinner and a movie with a rather nice fellow on Saturday. We went to see Burn After Reading. It was funny in a Coen Brothers kinda of way. I really hadn't seen too many of their movies. I

I have discovered that I need to brush up on my grilling skills. I usually left it to the guy on hand to man the grill. This evening I decided to grill a contre-filet steak for dinner. I think I let it cook a tad too long. Then again, it might not have been the best cut to grill.I happen to peruse the entertainment section of the paper today and noticed that Ani DiFranco will be playing here

2008-09-10T20:25:00.002-04:00

I decided it was best to stay home today and do whatever work is needed from home. I really didn't have a whole lot other than some emails and a couple of phone calls. So overall, it was a quiet day. I managed to get some nap time in during the afternoon. I feel a bit congested but not totally blocked up. Not yet anyways, but I'm sure it's coming up next on the cold menu.I've been throwing

So I finally got a call from the vet late yesterday about Boo's blood test and exam. His figures are about the same as it was last time, so he's basically stable. No change in meds and diet. However, his mouth needs help. Cleaning, extraction, etc. I know he's got some vicious cat breath happening. I'll probably look into booking an appointment to have this done in the near future.I feel

I guess having been gone for most of the summer it kind of added up.The cats are home again. I'm a little worried about Boo's blood test results. The vet will call me with the results and recommendations.I witnessed the dissolution of something that

Pics are up

2008-09-01T18:55:00.001-04:00

Some of the photos I took in Buffalo and Niagara are up. I wasn't right up front by the stage, so the lighting was a bit tricky. I hate using high ISO settings as it can get a bit grainy. I played around with it and finally settled on 800. Still some graininess but not all that bad. Enjoy!

I went to see Matthew Good Friday night. I spent Saturday in the Niagara region. I tasted a lot of wine and probably bought as many bottles of it. :-)It's nice to be home. I need to reacquaint myself with my home. I watered

Well, that and not really having anything too significant to say.That said, I really didn't do much this weekend other than to relax and take it easy. One of the reasons is due to, well, certain things that happen on a regular basis. And I

Never knowing if something will be coming around the bend.Speeding along these roads. Passing storefronts. Storefronts with armed guards. Remember not to shoplift!

However, despite whatever statistics are thrown at me, it doesn't seem to bother me when I hear what sounded like fireworks throughout the day today. I mean, it wasn't constant or anything but every once in a while you'd hear a few here and then a few there. I think it started some

Okay. To give you an idea, this is what I have to deal with each day. However, most weekdays, I will be sitting in a windowless, super air-conditioned environment for a minimum of 8 hours. And depending on where I am situated in that room, I will most likely need to put on my fleece jacket, complete with company logo (yay, for free company swag!). But think of the stress placed on the body

Needless to say, with the amount of traveling I have been doing for work this summer, I really haven't seen or experienced much of summer back home. Then again, according to some, I really haven't missed much of a summer in Montreal as it's been rather rainy this year. Oh well.It's now mid-August.

The gate the flight back to Montreal was originally set for was D33. While

So taking his word for it, we went to reception after dinner to have them help call the tour company to

Well, the end of week two is nearly there.To some degree the trip moves along more quickly when you get into a routine. In this case, the daily routine is to get up, get some breakfast, go to the customer site, work for about 9 hours, head back to the hotel and have some dinner. I suppose that working in a closed, windowless environment distracts you from the distraction of staring out of a

It hasn't been halfway through this trip and I am already looking forward to going home. Even though I like to travel, traveling for work is a whole other ball game. It starts to get a bit monotonous and depressing when every weekday you come back from work to the same hotel room.

Well, kinda sorta. :-D I'm still here in Honduras. Arrived late Monday night. The flight out of Miami was slightly late in departing. Landed in San Pedro Sula about a half hour late. In San Pedro Sula, we had to go through Customs and Immigration. I think we were the one big flight that arrived that evening. There was just one officer on duty when we all got there and started to line up.

I'm not sure what the political situation there other than that it's somewhat stable at the moment. Safety-wise, I think one would have to take the usual precautions as in any other Latin American country, although I did find Asuncion,

Since I've been in Paraguay, I have been dependent on what is available at the nearby eateries for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is a toss up at times.What I have noticed is that a lot of food tend to be rather salty. At the place where we go for lunch, it's next to impossible to find something that was laden with a lot of salt! On top of that, soft drinks are relatively cheap here. I found

Stuff like this makes me wish Bush & Co. are voted out of office sooner!

Yup! It's confirmed. I have my visa. My e-ticket is in the works. I am going to Paraguay. Unfortunately, I will have to depart tomorrow evening. :-| This means there will be an awful lot of running around for me.The cats. I've confirmed with the vet tech that she will be able to come take care of them as well as give BS his fluids. She'll come by tomorrow morning so I can show her were

Some thoughts....

2008-06-03T21:48:00.003-04:00

Sometimes I wonder if I have ever in my past came across the person destined to be the one I will spend the rest of my life with. I guess you could say a soul mate of sorts. I suppose you could say it would be along the lines of two ships passing in the night. One not fully aware of the other. I wonder if something like that has happened and it's just a matter of time before we knowingly

Matthew Good @ Club Soda Friday Night

2008-06-01T09:59:00.003-04:00

Friday had finally arrived. I had bounced back and forth the idea of whether I should take the car into town or not. Someone at work had said that it would be crazy because it was Friday night and finding parking would be a pain, not to mention the traffic. I finally decided to not take the car. Good choice because as I walked towards the metro from work I saw bumper to bumper traffic on

Well... Okay, so the title might be a smidgen misleading.I went to see my PT this morning about my knee. She did the usual evaluation. She had me stand, walk, bend and sit. After further manipulating that leg, it's been determined I have some inflammation under the knee cap. Yay. :pShe ended up taping up my knee in two places: one over the knee cap and one just under the knee cap. Then she

Sometimes I get the urge to revisit some of the music I listened to back in the 80's (and maybe early 90's). More specifically, stuff from the Boston music scene during that period. I guess while I was in high school, I kinda somehow got into the whole local music scene. Just to give you an idea, here's a sampling of some of my faves.Enjoy!!O-Positive

2008-05-14T14:06:00.003-04:00

For some reason, I find more often than not that I am more likely to post on a Wednesday. I don't know why.Anyway, the weather has been quite nice in recent days. I should look into getting some stuff potted up, but with the weather forecast for this weekend it might not be so easy. But we'll see.It seems that out little group of MG fans are falling into a bit of health issues. One has issues

Ants!

2008-05-11T20:51:00.002-04:00

Well, the other day I came home to discover that ants have infiltrated the home. They were finding their way in via the patio door. After dispatching the ones I could see with the vacuum, I googled to see what home ant repellents can be had. There was ground cinnamon. I have ground cinnamon. So I sprinkled some of that all along the track of the patio door and sprinkled cinnamon where ever

Random Tuesday Thoughts

2008-05-06T07:53:00.002-04:00

Ball players are like rock stars. They have their female fans and following.Recently, there were reports about Roger Clemens dalliances with a 15 year old back when he was 28 years old and married. Now comes allegations that he had a fling with yet another woman. This kind of reminds me of the movie "Major League" where a few of the celebrating players were partying it up with some hot chicks.

It's been approximately 3 weeks since I moved into the new digs. Adjustments have not been too difficult once some of the familiar things in life have been put into their places or have found their places in this home. As I might have mentioned, the cats seem to have adjusted to life here pretty well.This evening I had my 3rd yoga class. It's going pretty well. I'd like to see how I can

Wow! Has it been almost 3 weeks since I last posted something here? Yeesh! Time certainly flew! Then again, I have been in the throes of unpacking and getting things in order around the house.Some "highlights"...The leather sectional I bought from Ikea was delivered on the 15th. However, after the delivery guys unwrapped, put it together and left, I noticed what looked like a blown-out seam

What has been going on??

2008-04-08T04:52:00.002-04:00

Well, in case you haven't noticed, I have not updated my blog as frequently as I normally do as of late. As most of you know, I have been in the throes of packing for the big move, which is TOMORROW! I am currently living amongst piles of boxes and utter chaos. Today is my last chance to finish packing before I actually panic. Of course, I am up early because a particular feline demands to be

Mid-Week Funny

Okay, so I have not found it actually cited on PC Magazine's own site, but I still think it's rather funny.-----------------------------------------This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best webmail-award-winning

2008-03-29T11:01:00.004-04:00

Well, I got home alright early Monday evening. This was after the plane had a bit of a false start at the start of take off. It was a bit unnerving when you hear the engines rev up for take off, the plane starts to move and then you hear the engines die down and the plane turns off from the runway. The pilot announce on the PA that they had some sort of power indicator light go off and they

A little more from Boston

2008-03-24T21:39:00.002-04:00

Well, I finally made it home. I wasn't sure if we were going to make it because just as the plane was revving up it's engines and started it's take off run, it turned its engines down and turned off the runway. O.o The pilot came on and said that they saw some thing go off related to the power and wanted to check it out. A few minutes later we taxi'd back to the runway and away we went.

Happy Easter

So here I am in the middle of Malden, MA. It's a little blue-collar suburb just a little bit north of Boston and about 10 minutes from Logan Airport. It's convenient to some of the major highways and roadways in the region. I have been spending this Easter weekend with my folks.I got in Thursday night after a short flight out of Montreal. The actual flying time was about 44 minutes. I don't

Much overdue update

2008-02-27T18:35:00.003-05:00

Ok.. It's been a few days since I wrote anything. I guess I can't really come up with any real excuse other than sheer laziness. :-pI didn't strain myself over the weekend other than go to my cardio workout on Saturday. I really needed to do it since I hadn't gone in about a week since my cold. I'm pretty much over my cold. So that's some good news. I think the multi-prong attack of ColdFX,

2008-02-22T07:59:00.002-05:00

Well, I think I am about 90% over my cold. There's just some snifflies left and a slight cough that is also going away. So I think it's looking better for this weekend.I plan on having a few friends over for hot pot tomorrow evening. I'm evening contemplating going to my cardio class tomorrow morning since I missed it all this week. I need to get back on track and keep going. I've even

I do feel a bit better today actually. Well enough that I made it into work today. Not that I really have a whole lot to do at the moment. It's been rather slow lately.I hate having colds because it makes be all gross and icky. My nose gets all congested and snotty. I blow my nose so much that it's all red and irritated. I hate this about colds.I guess I will pick up some groceries tonight

When I'm sick, I really don't feel like doing much. Would you? So here I sit, perusing the web and checking out what's interesting, I came across this video on Tony Pierce's blog. I thought it was quite interesting.As a result of some hype over this interview, Derrick Ashong filmed this as a follow-up. Rather impressive.
