Learning To English

Theme Song: "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" - Daft Punk
Life Outlook: Chilled
Current Weather: -31°C, Clear

Horribly cold weather has descended upon Winnipeg. The wind chill is somewhere in the -42
°C range. Seems that the typical January cold-snap has arrived. I'm tempted to lock myself indoors until the cold weather passes, but there's work to be done. Hell, even my computer is telling me that. Since I started at Investors Groups the ads that show up on websites have changed from WoW and computer related to Insurance and Finance related. Even my computer knows. LOL

I received a lecture today from Joshie about my poor use of the English language in my last post (which has since been edited). To this day I continue to be lazy and use "then" in instances where "than" is necessary. Oops! I'll learn to speak and write English one of these days. :-)

...I'm a writer, not an editor.

Off to a Moose Game tomorrow - hopefully that should be an enjoyable time. I think the last time I attended a hockey game it was at the old Arena, and it was my highschool hockey team playing (no I did not have a crush on any of the hockey players - ick!). Go Moose! That is the team's name...right? ;-)

I leave you with two cute pictures from this past weekend. One really cute one of Joshie after we all went swimming...and another of Steven and Laura cuddling on the couch later in the evening. :-) We were all exhausted by the end of the night (and I felt deathly ill), but everyone had a blast!


Weekend Update

Theme Song: "Hot In Here" - Nelly
Life Outlook: Exhausted
Current Weather: -16°C, Light Snow

I sit here listening to music on my iPod and I am reminded of a bus ride to work earlier this week. I was waiting for a transfer, minding my own business when a man came up to me and asked for the time. I guess he was also waiting for a bus, and proceeded to wait. Several minutes and a few frozen toes later he turns to me, smiles and says in a rather thick access, "ABBA, sweet." That was my queue to turn down the volume of my iPod. :-)

...at least this time it wasn't a comment about Broadway showtunes.

Tonight's music of choice seems to be a hybrid between the soundtrack from Hairspray and instrumental soundtracks. I wonder how the stewardess knew? :-) Enough about my eclectic tastes in music however.

This weekend was pretty uneventful. Worked, was majorly ill and hung out with friends. I learned that Silicone spelled backwards does not start with the letter N, Mumu's are apparently Back In Fashion, and I apparently moan more than most when I'm getting A Back Massage. Certainly an educational weekend. The rest of the weekend was mostly spent feeling like death warmed over. Yay for a killer stomach!

I think I slept about 12 hours last night, had a lot of weird dreams - but possibly a new screenplay idea. It's been months since I actually was able to write anything of significance. Could this be a sign of renewed creativity? Perhaps so. I'll keep you posted.

My energy is waning, and with that I shall leave you with a song quote and some more pictures from the weekend.

"Love is everything it's cracked up to be…It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for."

New Years 2009

Theme Song: "Get Down" - Ministry of Sound: The Annual 2009
Life Outlook: Positive
Current Weather: -32°C, Clear


New Years Eve has come and gone...



Close friends came together at the house, we spent the evening together, playing games, sharing drinks and having a great time. Jackie brought a new version of Munchkin, which everyone seemed to enjoy. It was nice to get everyone together and celebrate the coming of the New Year. Everyone got a chance to have a New Years Kiss, even those who didn't necessarily want Kyle to kiss them.



Overall I'd call the evening quite a success and a wonderful kick-off to 2009. Josh and I were able to sleep in on New Years Day and just relax. It snowed a little bit overnight, but nothing like the snow we received back on New Years 2006.

Two-thousand and nine...a year will unlimited potential. I look forward to what new adventures this year brings...
